Lochranza Campsite received a Green Tourism Gold Award in 2017, and we know that you care as much about Arran as we do. To protect the island’s beauty and precious biodiversity, here’s what we can all do:
"Lochranza Campsite does well securing the GOLD award at first grading attempt. Kathryn and Nigel have clearly put in a lot of effort to reduce some of the bigger potential impacts of the site, engage with other island organisations/charities, and also give a really green experience to guests."

At Lochranza Campsite we actively support and encourage the use of electric vehicles, and have personally invested in an electric car and a PHEV for towing our caravan.
We have also installed a dedicated charging point (7.2Kw) on site, ready for the 2023 season. Donations are asked for which will go to the Arran Access Trust.
NOTE:- Please do not charge your vehicle using the caravan hook-ups without first talking to us, as some parts of our onsite electricity distribution system are not suitable for charging of electric vehicles and could result in damage to our infrastructure.
Alternatively, if you have a caravan, you could bring a charger that limits the current to 6/8 amps, and connect your charger to your unit, not directly to our outlets. We will not charge an additional fee in this case.
