About Glen Rosa
Glen Rosa sits in a stunning spot beneath Goatfell's dramatic slopes, offering walkers and outdoor enthusiasts an enviable base for tackling Arran's famous peaks. The site keeps things refreshingly simple – pitches are grassy and largely level, with basic facilities including a toilet block, while campfires are welcomed, adding to the wild camping atmosphere. There's an on-site café serving hearty breakfasts and evening meals, perfect after a day on the hills.
Dogs are welcome to join the adventure, and the location puts you within easy reach of Brodick's shops, pubs and restaurants when you fancy a night off cooking. With its relaxed, outdoorsy vibe and access to some of Scotland's finest hill walking, Glen Rosa feels properly remote without being awkward to reach – though the facilities can feel fairly basic if you're used to more polished touring sites.

Absolutely beautiful, we would recommend visiting to anyone who gets the chance. We just don't get the chance to be surrounded by clean air and nature enough and the walk here is so worth it!

Just an absolutely stunning bit of the world. Beautiful walk and then get to the Blue Pools. Safe to swim in and nice deep bit to jump into. Kids love it too. Sometimes during summer the horsefly’s are out and they are a nightmare.
