Camping at Loch Doon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Loch Doon is situated about 3 miles east of the town of Dalmellington and 18 miles east of Ayr and is fast becoming a tourist hotspot with the Scottish dark sky observatory that opened in 2012 and a cafe that is open 7 days a week . Loch doon also has a touring caravan park and free camper van and camping spots which are patrolled by a ranger. The area has popular riverside walks and hill ranges with some beautiful scenery ,also at the far end of the loch is Loch Doon castle with a car park and a marked trail up the 1,716 feet Craiglee Hill . I went for a few nights camping with friends and had a great time ,although it was a bit wet weather wise we pitched our tents near the caravan park and just up from the loch … here are the pics I took
