If you’re after a camping experience without the hassle of lugging a tent around and having to put it up, then our camping barrels are the perfect solution.
Plenty of space for up to 2 adults on a double bed, as well as 2 children in the handy bench seating area that converts into two single small beds suitable for children up to 1.3m /4ft tall.
Our Large Camping barrel has space for up to 5 adults. 3 in the main sleeping area and 2 on the single bench bends in the front which can handle someone up to 6ft /1.82mt tall.

There’s also a small fold up table and picnic benches are provided outside in front of our water feature to offer an additional area to relax in the calming surroundings of Aird Donald Caravan Park.
All you need to bring is your own bedding and our camping barrels are a mini home from home. Lighting is provided with solar lighting . A small solar power station can be used to charge 2 devices through the USB sockets day or night (no mains electricity available) and you get full access to our camping facilities with pot washing area, toilets and the on site showers in our short stay facility (50p for 8 minutes)
We have three of our Camping Barrels open at the moment, one Large and two standard, set in their own courtyard circle within our camping field, solar lighting and low level fencing surrounds to create a secluded area of it’s own.
As with other camping pods the barrels offer freedom of a roof over your head and some space to huddle down in these natural spruce made structures will offer that cosy environment to return to after a day exploring the many activities that the local area has to offer. A perfect base for your adventures, or even if you are visiting a local event.
Earliest check in time for the Barrels is 2pm.

For your convenience we also have an on site laundry should you need to use it during your stay (https://aird-donald.co.uk/laundry-facility/)
There’s no smoking/vaping of any kind within the barrels for the comfort of all our guests, similarly we sadly can’t allow pets, cooking or any source of naked flames inside either.
You can find us in the gorgeous county of Dumfries and Galloway on the South West coast of Scotland, we are along the A75, London road one mile from the town centre and less than 5 miles to the ferry port at Cairnryan.
