Wild camping on Arran & Islay

[Fisherman]

Hi Barry the string road has been upgraded and it’s a lot better than years ago.
The west road is quite narrow and in need of some work in stretches.
But it’s very quiet, even in summer.

We didn't have problems finding overnight spots last year, also two places to empty toilets and collect drinking water. There weren't a lot of Motorhomes when we were there, although the ferry prices are a lot cheaper than years ago the cost must put some people off, so it is not crowded

Of course it’s not Jan, the ferry takes 80-90 vehicles and 90% of these are cars.
Normally only a couple of Motorhomes.
And some don’t stay on the island they drive to Lochranza and cross over to claonaig.
They create a problem for the locals who can’t get their cars on.
Also I have seen Motorhomes on both the main campsites.
