Accessibility Statement
The aim of this Accessibility Statement is to give an accurate description of the facilities of Achindarroch Touring Park and the local area to people having Visual, Audio and Mobility disabilities.
General
Achindarroch Touring Park is situated at the foot of Glen Duror. The Park and surrounding walkways and paths are suitable for Wheelchair access. Details of Achindarroch Touring Park can be found on this website or within the brochure, available on request or you can download a copy here. Achindarroch Touring Park is totally flat on its roads, grass areas and pitches without any ramps or steps anywhere within its facilities. The roads also act as paths and therefore are easily seen or ‘tapped’ by the partially sighted.

Roads within Achindarroch Touring Park are limited to 5mph. The road system consists of metaled material (Tar and Stone).
Mobile Phones
Achindarroch Touring Park is within an area of good 4G mobile phone coverage. Where disabled individuals do not possess a mobile phone, then a phone will be provided by Achindarroch Touring Park for ‘an Emergency call’, for example to contact a relative.
Touring Pitches
40 pitches are shared by Touring Caravans, Motor Homes, Tents, Pods and Holiday Lodge. All pitches are on level ground with parking for one car alongside the pitch. The pitches are large and spacious. We will endeavor to accommodate disabled customers as close to the Amenity Block as possible.
Touring Park Amenities
The Amenity Block (Toilet and Shower facilities) have keypad entry doors. The entrance is virtually level. A large family Shower room containing most disabled facilities is in the process of being upgraded within the Amenity Block. The Shower room however is NOT reserved wholly for the disabled. The Family Shower room door is wide enough for wheelchair access with sufficient internal space. One toilet cubicle in both the ladies and Gents is larger than the other two and have outward opening doors.
