Gordon D. Sept 2024

Camping pod (four person)

Liked: The pods were great value for money and the location with the views across the loch were outstanding! Great base for cycling around Loch Awe with enough on your doorstep in the social club, village shop, Black Rock Curry and Kilchrenan Inn, while achieving that 'getting away from it all' feeling. Pods were basic but all you required with a microwave and fridge freeze in-situ and shower and laundry services available on site.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Liked: On the edge of the Loch, clean and comfy - we turned double bed round to make more space inside and avoid midges! Really happy to have fridge, kettle etc, all facilities in main block were great - table tennis, pool table, air hockey when bar open. Little shop and cafe just down the road were also lovely, very friendly folk. Firepit was great for the evening.

Disliked: Midges were annoying, but not constant

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.
