Glen Rosa Campsite and Takeaway Arran
The campsite at Glen Rosa is spectacular in it's location.
Glen Rosa Campsite is a situated in one of the most beautiful and majestic glens of Arran. More akin to wild camping we are right at the foot of the Arran hills, which makes it an ideal place to base yourself for climbing Goatfell, the ridges, or many of the gentle walks that originate from here. Or, you might just decide to come here to relax and enjoy this special place.
The Rosa burn flows next to the campsite and there are pools where it is deep enough to bathe; the famous Glen Rosa blue pool is only 1/2 mile away. We are also within walking distance of Brodick Castle, Arran Aromatics, restaurants and bars. There is also a public swimming pool and leisure centre at the nearby Auchrannie resort. We also provide a small takeaway service at the farmhouse reception where we provide delicious home baking, snacks and drinks.
The campsite at Glen Rosa offers campers the chance to camp in a unique location, it situated on a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) made so by the unique geology, flora and fauna that help to make Glen Rosa so special. The Glen Rosa site is the only one in Brodick, Glen Rosa is two miles (3km) outside of the village.
It takes roughly 40 minutes to walk from the pier, however there is a good bus service. Buses coincide with the arrival of the ferries from both Brodick and Lochranza. Ask the driver to stop at the Glen Rosa road end.
