Loch Awe Camping Pods: Peaceful and relaxing views from the pods (photo added by manager on 15/08/2022)

General

  • Modern outdoor accommodation with spectacular loch and mountain views
  • A few minutes' walk from Dalavich; 50 minutes' drive from Oban
  • Firepit and fishing available on site; next to a bar and grill

Like the sound of pods with private decking by a loch? Then you'll no doubt be rather taken with Loch Awe Camping Pods, a modern, small-scale site on the peaceful banks of Loch Awe. You'll want to head to this secluded spot if wild fishing, mountain explores and lochside campfires are on your bucket list…

The accommodation here is stylish, spacious and self-contained: each unit contains comfortable sleeping quarters as well as a heater, kettle, microwave, fridge and outdoor seating area. They're also well insulated, so you're pretty sure to be warm and toasty here whatever the time of year. Oh, and this could be the deal-clincher – all the pods have direct access to the gorgeous loch shore.

Once you've settled down for a waterside stay, sorting practicalities is a doddle. Loch Awe Camping Pods guests have access to communal facilities including two individual toilets with coin-operated showers and a coin-operated laundry area that's open 24 hours a day. Guests wishing to fish must purchase a permit in advance (contact the site when booking for details).

Loch Awe Camping Pods is a few minutes' walk from Dalavich's shop and café and next to Lochview Bar and Grill (seasonal opening hours), where there's a playground for any kids you've brought along. Jaunts further afield can also be sorted with ease, whether you're heading for the Highlands, aiming for the islands via the ferry port of Oban (50 minutes' drive) or fancy a day at the beach.

Warm, clean pods and excellent facilities.09/10/2023

    The pods were lovely and clean, cosy and suited our needs. Unfortunately, our weekend saw a months worth of rain fall in 24 hours and travelling in the rain meant we were delayed in getting there, but I called ahead and explained we would be late. The lady we spoke to was very understanding and our pod was lovely and warm for our arrival. Unable to really go anywhere because of the rain affecting the roads, we went to the Inn situated next to the pods where we warmed ourself up by a roaring log burner and a warm welcome from the staff. I would recommend coming here if you want lovely peaceful surroundings, and we’ll definitely be back (weather depending).
    One word of warning, it is very out of the way and the 14 mile single track road can be daunting to an inexperienced driver especially at night. But the scenery along the way was beautiful, the road is very well maintained and there are plenty of passing points. Just take your time and slack up your surroundings.

    Beautiful setting, comfortable bed in the pod. Pod nice and warm with heater inside. Social club on site opens in the evening for meals which is very useful as there’s not much in the way of places to eat nearby.

    Disliked: 

    The pods only have the bare necessities so you have to bring absolutely everything you need with you (e.g. bedding/mugs/utensils etc). Some pods I’ve looked into provide these things.

    I'd have given 5 stars, but after booking noted that certain types of dog aren't permitted. I own a Staffie cross and am a responsible dog owner, but he wasn't allowed to come for some reason. There was a large dog that was roaming off the lead at the site that no one did anything about despite this not being allowed.

Directions


Dalavich is 14 miles from the turn off at Taynuilt which is a left turn just before you enter the village of Taynuilt. As you approach Dalavich from Taynuilt direction you will cross River Avich on a right hand bend over the bridge and shortly after, you'll see a sign for Dalavich on the left hand side of the road.

Please note: All distances on this page are calculated "as the crow flies" - please check actual distance depending on your mode of travel using the Get directions button above.

Local attractions

Walks, watersports and hikes around Loch Awe are all immediately accessible here, and if you're feeling adventurous you could even paddle over to the island of Innis Chonnel for another view of the area. Loch Avich, roughly 10 minutes’ drive away, is also close by and has more opportunities for rambling and admiring the ruins of long-gone medieval castles and crannogs.

For more history, head to Dunadd Fort (35 minutes), an Iron Age hillfort believed to have been the centre of the ancient kingdom of Dal Riata, which emerged in this part of Argyll after the Romans abandoned their hopes of conquering Scotland. If you like your castles to be a bit more intact, you should try Kilchurn Castle (45 minutes) or Dunstaffnage Castle and its equally impressive chapel (50 minutes).

The planned town of Inveraray (an hour and 10 minutes) should also be on your itinerary, whether you're intrigued by its past as a clan seat, its gorgeous castle gardens, the historic jailhouse and neoclassical buildings or are on the lookout for a starting point for exploring the coastal shores of Loch Fyne.

Must see
