36 South Harbour Street, KA7 1HF, Ayr
Been here?
Designated overnight motorhome parking beside a sandy beach and pier lighthouse, with bins and a narrow approach. It costs £10 per night from 6pm to 9am via the app, with a maximum stay of 3 nights. Van-based vehicles are best suited, although a 7.5m motorhome has turned around successfully. Recent visitors reported both peaceful nights and feeling unsafe because of loud racers.

Decided not to stay as place didn’t feel safe. Many racers with loud exhausts passing by watching us closely. No others parked there at the time so maybe the locals don’t like it.
Very peaceful night in our sprinter, access straight to beach , about 10 mins walk to town centre. Not ideal for large Motorhomes due to width of street (we observed 2 trying to pass) but ideal for van based vehicles. £10 per night max stay 3 night - make sure you select 'car' on app as there is no camper etc option. Plenty bins - toilets about 5 mins walk to pavillion.
Good spot and near town centre. Quiet in the night and would recommend, other campervans said it was a quieter spot than others in the area. Note that you can stay till 1pm next day which isn’t clear on the signs.
As good as you can expect for town centre location. Quiet, next to the beach, easy walk into town for Marks and Spencer’s. Ignore the comments from others on turning, we spun a 7.5m motorhome around in a jiffy. Great spot!
Great spot near the beach and the pier where you can fish. It now has designated Motorhome bays where you pay £10 from 6pm -9am overnight fee via the paybyphone app, so it's no longer forbidden. Some bays further up are not allowed to park after 11pm though. Unfortunately toilets further down. there are bins and signal.
A good spot. We stayed for one night and had no problems. The wind and rain coming from the ocean was full on and that woke us a couple of times but that was not unexpected. No hoons in this part, the turning area was tight for our 7 meter MH so I would not suggest anything bigger than that to head down the skinny lane. There are no prohibition signs as of 20 March 24.
Stayed here for one night in Jan. All signs had been removed (not sure if they put them up again in summer). Quiet (except for the wind) and safe.
open again £10 for a night great if you have kids as has easy access to the beach and close to the play park. great for the resturant in town and swimming pool. so quite and relaxed opposed to the other park in ayr.
stayed here for one night, there was one other van. Could be a great spot but the local police decided to drive by with the lights and sirens on at 3:30am then turn and drive slowly back out. was very clearly done on purpose. Pity really.
The no-parking rule cannot be enforced because the road is not covered by local bylaws.
If you drive to the end of this road there is a turning area, hammer head, Y layout so large vans can turn.. also there is a good 6m between the kerb and the bollards so you can reverse in without blocking the turning area.. we stayed here as the other end of the beach was busy with boy racers wizzing around, they started to gather from early evening and the noise levels picked up
