Did you want to include Girvan (harbour car park "aire") in the topic ?
It's part of the same initiative by South Ayrshire Council, and part of the same trial till September.

Two other local (ish) locations are planned to be added if the Ayr / Girvan trial is successful.

Since 1964 Gosh that makes me feel old.
I'm Ayr born & bred, but Girvan is a much better Aire, the testosterone boys like driving their puddlejumpers around the Ayr car park til silly O'clock in the morning..

Might be an idea to read some of the comments about Ayr 'aire', we stayed there one night and that was one too many I'm afraid.

I’ve not stayed at Ayr aire and, to be honest, wouldn’t - we’re local, I work 500 yards away so know it well. The beach front car park is frequented by boy racers and car-swappers of a night. We took the van down to have a carry put from Ayr India but felt pretty uncomfortable. Craigie caravan park in Ayr would be a more pleasant experience, or Culzean or Girvan aire.

We stayed for a few days a couple of times and just parked in one of the dead end streets behind the 'green' for the night, lovely and quiet.

New to motorhomes 2019
Staying at Ayr tonight. Now 11pm and although we have had a few 'tits' with loud exhausts it's not bad at all.

Great idea from the council, Black waste containers and fresh water point (not drinking) provided for £5 for 1 overnight but allowed from 9am day1 until 6pm day 2.

Next bays down from the motorhome spot have huge sleeping policeman presumably to spoil the fun of the idiots? Hence why we are at the main entrance exit of the car park area.

My understanding is its a trial scheme this year and council are looking for feedback from all parties.

Our favourite beach when we were children, and my boys. Friend of dad’s had a caravan park at the bottom of the hill. Some very happy memories.
