Just over an hour south of Glasgow, nestled among the rolling green hills of South Ayrshire, The Ranch Holiday Park offers the perfect escape from the pace of everyday life. This family-run retreat near the historic town of Maybole captures the essence of a traditional Scottish getaway, with peaceful surroundings, sweeping countryside views, and easy access to the dramatic Ayrshire coast. Whether you're dreaming of a relaxing break in nature, quality time with loved ones, or a base to explore castles, coastlines, and culture, The Ranch invites you to experience it all in comfort and style.

Guests can choose from spacious hard-standing touring pitches with electric hook-ups and water, ideal for caravans, motorhomes, and campervans, or opt for a stay in one of the park’s characterful static holiday homes, each with its own garden space. The park is designed with families and couples in mind. Children will love the safe, well-equipped play parks and expansive grass football pitch, while pet owners can enjoy leisurely strolls along a dedicated seven-acre dog walking path. The on-site Leisure Centre adds a luxury touch, with a heated indoor swimming pool, gym, and sauna cabin available for guests to enjoy.

The location offers a wonderful blend of coastal charm and rich heritage. Nearby Culzean Castle & Country Park is a must-visit, with its dramatic clifftop setting and immaculate gardens. The surrounding area is steeped in Scottish history, including the famous Burns Heritage Trail that celebrates the life of Robert Burns. For those looking to enjoy the outdoors, sandy beaches such as Croy Bay and Maybole Shore are within easy reach, and the vast, unspoiled Galloway Forest Park promises hiking, wildlife, and stargazing adventures.

Whether you're seeking scenic relaxation or active days out, The Ranch Holiday Park delivers a warm welcome, beautiful surroundings, and a sense of freedom that only a countryside break can offer. Its blend of top-notch facilities and traditional hospitality makes it a standout destination for those looking to discover the beauty of Ayrshire from a well-placed and peaceful home-from-home.

Spent another wonderful and hassle free weekend at the Ranch. I just love this park as the pitches are wide so my husband doesn't get uptight about reversing into pitches. The park is clean and tidy, the views beautiful and the owner takes an interest in his clients. The toilet block is the best I have come across as it is kept immaculately clean, is spacious and light and airy. Some of the pitches not only have electric and water but also have waste. The only thing this site lacks is a small clubhouse. It would spoil it if it was rowdy but just a small meeting place would be ideal!

Have just come back from our 4th visit to the Ranch and had another fantastic weekend even though the weather was pretty poor. A warm welcome was received from Thomas, family and staff. The spacious level touring pitches are mostly gravel, the lower level are individually separated by beautiful hedging. There is a rally field at the bottom of the park with EHU for tent and tourers and a play field / dog excersing area next to that. The fab new toilet / shower block opened last year and is clean and warm with great showers and good sized cubicles and has a local radio station playing through speakers - great for letting you know what's on in the area. This block also has a laundry area with washing up sinks. The site has a good play area for the children and a small area for toddlers with ride on cars etc. There is a small indoor heated pool, sauna and fitness room too which our kids love. The wee honesty shop allows you to drop off books you have already read and pick up another to read on your stay. The campsite is easily accessible and the town of Maybole with a small supermarket, butchers, fab bakery and chip shop is just a 5min drive away. The Ranch is just a few mins drive from Culzean Castle, Croy beach and the lovely Ayrshire coastline. Turnberry golf course is just a few miles south and Alloway, the birthplace of Rabbie Burns a few miles north. The tranquility and beautiful gardens of the Ranch itself makes it a lovely place to unwind and relax without having to go anywhere. The is a place although not too far from home for us, is now a firm favourite.

Guestbook reviews

Had a last minute holiday in our new Campervan for the very first time. Phoned to make sure there was availability and was warmly welcomed to just come down by Mark (I think it was). Got there and Gillian(?) welcomed me in, happily got me booked in and told me about the place whilst taking my details.
Very close to Maidens and Culzean. Both worth a visit.
Maybole is also very close for any items you may have forgotten.
My family had a great time so we stayed another night.
Our kids couldn't get enough of the pool and would've stayed there all day if they could have. They also enjoyed the play park.
Toilet block and showers very clean and well kept, just like the entire park. Showers were on the hot side though which made showering difficult, that's the only negative thing I could say. Really enjoyed our stay. Thanks to all at the Ranch who made it happen. You have a fantastic place.

We only stayed one night while traveling North. This is an excellent site, very clean and tidy. The facilities were excellent and lovely staff. We had a hard standing for a motor van with EHU and water on stand. I would highly recommend staying at this site and if we are in the area will stay again.

Very nice and clean campsite. Mainly pitches for campers etc. Despite late arrival, we were received very friendly and uncomplicated with own choice of pitch. Partly very beautiful view of the countryside. Located about 5 minutes by car from Culzean Castle. Very fair price for the offered comfort. Unreservedly recommendable.
