Scar Park Aire est situé sur l'ancien aérodrome historique de la RAF Wig Bay. Nous sommes une aire accréditée CAMpRA autorisée à accueillir jusqu'à CINQ camping-cars. Le Scar Park Aire est situé sur Kirranrae Farm, Kirkcolm, sur les rives de Wig Bay, Loch Ryan, avec vue sur le loch. L'aire est située sur la piste principale de l'aérodrome désaffecté de la RAF Wig Bay, construit en béton armé, idéal pour installer un camping-car et l'accès à un robinet d'eau est disponible à l'entrée du site. L'Aire est située à environ un demi-kilomètre de la route principale, offrant ainsi un séjour paisible pour la nuit. La zone pittoresque de Wig Bay comprend une boucle côtière de deux milles autour de la baie, de la cicatrice et du Loch Ryan, ainsi qu'un itinéraire plus long à travers les bois du domaine de Corsewall, tous accessibles depuis le site. Le Scar Park est le nom du champ dans lequel se trouve l'aire. Le champ tire son nom de The Scar, une banque de galets qui s'avance dans le loch au bout de Wig Bay et qui est la plus importante à marée basse. Vous verrez souvent des huîtriers le long de la cicatrice et occasionnellement dans certains champs au bord du rivage.

Scar Park Aire is located on the historic former airfield RAF Wig Bay. We are a CAMpRA accredited aire licensed to accommodate up to FIVE motorhomes.
The Scar Park Aire is located on Kirranrae Farm, Kirkcolm by the shores of Wig Bay, Loch Ryan with views across the loch. The aire is situated on the main runway of the decommissioned RAF Wig Bay Airfield constructed of reinforced concrete ideal for siting a motorhome and access to a water tap is available at the site entrance. The Aire is located about half a kilometre from the main road, therefore providing a peaceful overnight stay.
The scenic area of Wig Bay includes a two mile coastal loop walk round the Bay, The Scar and Loch Ryan as well as a longer route up through the woodland on the Corsewall Estate which can all be accessed from the site.
The Scar Park is the name of the field the aire is located in. The field takes it’s name from The Scar, a bank of shingles that juts out into the loch at the end of Wig Bay and is most prominent at low tide. You will often see Oystercatchers along the Scar and occasionally in some of the fields by the shore as well.

Scar Park Aire befindet sich auf dem historischen ehemaligen Flugplatz RAF Wig Bay. Wir sind ein von CAMpRA akkreditiertes Aire, das für die Unterbringung von bis zu FÜNF Wohnmobilen zugelassen ist. Das Scar Park Aire befindet sich auf der Kirranrae Farm, Kirkcolm, am Ufer der Wig Bay, Loch Ryan, mit Blick über den See. Das Aire befindet sich auf der Hauptpiste des stillgelegten RAF Wig Bay Airfield, gebaut aus Stahlbeton, ideal für den Standort eines Wohnmobils und Zugang zu einem Wasserhahn am Eingang des Geländes. Das Aire liegt etwa einen halben Kilometer von der Hauptstraße entfernt und bietet daher eine ruhige Übernachtungsmöglichkeit. Das landschaftlich reizvolle Gebiet von Wig Bay umfasst einen zwei Meilen langen Küstenwanderweg rund um die Bucht, The Scar und Loch Ryan sowie eine längere Route durch den Wald auf dem Corsewall Estate, die alle vom Standort aus zugänglich sind. The Scar Park ist der Name des Feldes, in dem sich das Aire befindet. Das Feld hat seinen Namen von The Scar, einer Schindelbank, die am Ende der Wig Bay in den See hineinragt und bei Ebbe am auffälligsten ist. Sie werden oft Austernfischer entlang der Narbe und gelegentlich auch auf einigen Feldern am Ufer sehen.

    Wonderful, slightly wild spot near Loch Ryan. Our only neighbours had 4 legs and we had the unique experience of watching a newborn calf taking his first unsteady steps. Lovely owners too. Elildh took time to welcome us and help us plan a trip to the Outer Hebrides later this year. Highly recommended stopover !

  • 5/5

    Easy to book and pay. Really unique location with great walks in the local estate. Maximum of 5 units per nights as or licensing regulations - It’s a shame that some people can’t/don’t follow the rules of staying here which could potentially spoil it for everyone.

  • 5/5

    A privilege to stay in this idyllic spot. Agree with all the previous comments. Might get a bit hairy if the wind gets up.

  • 5/5

    Arrived before sunset, fuss free system with multiple options to pay and chemical toilet disposal and water tap, not drinking. Huge numbers of geese, oystercatchers and curlew and beautiful views across Loch Ryan to the Ireland bound ferries. Spacious, with a rich history and time and room to reflect. A wonderful aire, will definitely be back.

  • 5/5

    Amazing place to stay. Easy contact with owners and lovely walk around the perimeter. Recommended.

  • 5/5

    Great place to stay. Great views of loch Ryan and surrounding areas. Once past the first gate follow the arrows.

  • 5/5

    Great place to park up, plenty of space due it being an old airfield, the area is great for walks, coos & sheep in adjacent fields, quiet & peaceful park and we will definitely be back to explore some more. Thanks again Eilidh

    Beautiful little spot to stay, nice walks to be had along the beach. Well worth the £10 night charge. Peaceful night's sleep next to the sheep & cows. it's an exposed area,wind is likely as with all water side locations Please remember this is an actual working farm. Farm animals, & all farming activities & mess happens. It's their livelihood day to day.

  • 5/5

    Fantastic spot. Stayed over before catching the ferry to Ireland the next day. Lovely big bays with views over Loch Ryan. Peaceful night sleep.

    What a stunning and unique place. I phoned ahead to Eilidh to reserve a spot as we were meeting friends and paid for our 1st night upfront. Then paid for our additional night again via app. Great views, good walks and good services. We highly recommend and will visit again.

    Super plan. 5 places face à la mer sur une ancienne base militaire de la RFA. Tous les services. 10£ par nuit , paiement en ligne. Très tranquille. On recommande.

    Wir sind im strömenden Regen in den Ort gekommen und haben den Platz trotz des großen Schildes erst nicht gefunden. Nachdem wir das Gatter geöffnet und uns auf das Gelände getraut haben, stellten wir fest, dass wir richtig vor Ort waren. Der Platz ist einfach super. Auch ein schöner Ort zum Wandern. Die Betreiber kommen auch vorbei und sind super nett.

    Superbe endroit, quel calme, quel paysage magnifique ! Seulement 5 véhicules. C'est parfait !

    One of my favourite stopovers in Scotland so far, massive flat pitch, right next to loch Ryan, lovely walks along the beach, especially when the sun is out, and all for £10!

  • 5/5

    This place is awesome, dump your waste , fill up with fresh water and stay the night all for £10, excellent value for money, lovely views, lovely walks and peace & quiet , great communication with owners, what an awesome place you have :)

  • 5/5

    This place is nothing short of magnificent. We spent two nights here in June with glorious sunshine so our solar panels were very happy. Owners are super-responsive. Very unique setting with water views all around. A great place to stay if waiting for the ferry or if you just want to unwind.

  • 5/5

    Found this by chance. Very well organised place. Owner was really lovely. Peaceful and lovely scenery. Great walk alone beach then up to local pub. Certainly be back.

  • 5/5

    Great night. Lovely and quiet. Good position and plenty of room. Good views over loch Ryan - bit foggy in the morning but soon burnt off. Lovely walk along the beach and out on the headland with the tide out. Well worth staying. Adria 640twin camper van.

  • 5/5

    Extraordinary view of the bay & surrounding countryside. Easy access to walk around Loch Ryan. A huge thank you to Eilidth & Jack for the park up provided. £5 per night. Spacious, black waste emptying (£5 additional charge) & fresh water & plenty ways to pay. Not to dog owners, livestock nearby, keep it respectful & clean up after your dog & self. Highly recommended. Will come again.

  • 5/5

    Brilliant spot. It’s mid feb and we have the place to ourselves. £5 per night, fantastic views, what’s not to like.

  • 5/5

    What a lovely place to stay! Right next to the loch with walks to local pub. £5 per night with fresh water tap. Extra £5 for black water waste now available. Very quiet night surrounded by water, sheep and cows.☆☆☆☆☆

  • 5/5

    What a great spot to get too. Lots of room, very friendly owners brilliant scenery. Most certainly will be back.

  • 5/5

    This is a great location - cannot fault it. Drinking water only see need to ensure you can be self sufficient and take your rubbish away

  • 5/5

    Good park up, nice and quiet, great views.

  • 5/5

    This has to be the best aire I have been on. Amazing location. Awesome pitch. Fresh water, plenty of signs making it easy to pay. Black tank being installed. will definitely be back. cant recommend this site highly enough. At a fiver a night it's also a real bargain.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful location, with easy access to Wig Bay / Loch Ryan shores. Thoroughly enjoyed two peaceful days and nights last weekend on my first outing with the van. Highly recommend this aire and will definitely be back for more one or two day stays. Great sea fishing marks when conditions are tight!

  • 5/5

    I have visited often. It’s a stunning location with fantastic views over Loch Ryan and Wig Bay. There are a number of nice walks around Wig Bay. The Blue Peter pub is a few minutes walk away in Kirkcolm. The aire is growing, now taking 5 vans. It has a couple of fresh water taps and a new black waste facility is almost ready. Still costing £5 a night it is incredible value.

  • 5/5

    we made a return visit to coincide with the family wedding taking place nearby. Very peaceful. Owner/hostess provided lots of info on local walks and cycle routes. Looking forward to the proposed waste disposal getting commissioned.

  • 5/5

    Je confirme les commentaires, 5£ la nuit, dans un espace immense, mais seulement pour 5 véhicules. Super calme et super vue!

  • 5/5

    excellent stop over. the young lady at the farm is so accomadating. they have everything we need. eg water. just hope it doesn't get too popular and people start taking advantage. like stopping weeks, having b.b.q.s etc. Oh and emptying their waste. absolutely NO need for that.

  • 5/5

    Excellent place. Acres of space for 5 vans and lovely views over Loch Ryan. Currently just a water tap available but plans are afoot to add an Elsan point. Fantastic walk from the site along the shore and over Clachan Hill. Good pub in the village - Blue Peter. Highly recommended. All this for £5 a night.

  • 5/5

    Nice quiet place to park up £5 a night only 5 spaces we arrived at 5pm only one other motorhome here will definitely use again if in this area

  • 5/5

    A real find! Wonderful views over Wig Bay. Direct access to the shoreline and local walks along the beaches, or through woodland. Good access over private road to level concrete pitches. Owners very friendly and helpful. No facilities apart from a water tap, but a bargain at £5/night.

  • 5/5

    Excellent location. Great views to Loch Ryan. Watch the ferries arrive and depart for N Ireland. Very quiet as its 600m from the main road. Highly recommended

  • 5/5

    Quiet site with good views. Water available. Some good walks directly from site.
