  • Scenic site 10 minutes' drive from Oban, with views to Kerrera island
  • Ferries, whisky distillery and horse riding within 10 mins' drive
  • Play area and shop on site; dogs welcome
For some folk, Oban is a jumping-off point for trips to the spectacular Scottish islands; for others, it’s a very handy location simply for sinking into the gentle pace of rural Highlands life while still keeping convenient access to shops and other amenities. Whichever of those groups you fall into, a fine base awaits at Oban Holiday Park, a spacious and peaceful site in Gallanchmore, about 10 minutes’ drive south of the Oban. It’s a scenic spot indeed, with views out over the sea to the island of Kerrera (which you can take a closer look at by boarding a ferry less than a mile away). There are plenty more options for island hopping from the harbour in Oban, whether you’re doing a grand tour or just taking day trips. The town also has a good collection of shops, restaurants and things to do, including a cinema and golf course – not forgetting the option for a stroll along the seafront at sunset, watching the boats bobbing in the harbour. Staying here isn’t all about the islands, of course – there’s a whole heap of things to see on the mainland too, including castles, gardens and a whisky distillery. Activities are plentiful too, with pony trekking and scuba diving close by as well as a good choice of places to go for walks and bike rides. On site, all is nicely convenient too, with a small food shop, chemical disposal and modern toilets and showers; there’s also a play area where the kids can have a good run about. The site is supported by natural water springs, so you'll need to boil any water you intend to consume or drink bottled water instead.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Man hat 1x am Tag das Waschhaus gesäubert. Da der Platz ziemlich gut besucht war, reichte das nicht aus.

Disliked Die Rezeption war bei der Ankunft um 16 uhr schon nicht mehr besetzt.
Auf dem Stellplatz stellt sich jeder hin, wie er meint. Wir mussten erst eine Weile suchen, bis wir noch einen freien Stromanschluss und somit einen Platz fanden.
Die beschriebene Aussicht auf das Meer hat man nur von den Lodges, nicht vom Stellplatz.
Am nächsten Tag war die Rezeption mit dem kleinen Shop besetzt. Beim Stöbern im Shop keinerlei Ansprache,wie z.B. gut angekommen,wie gefällt, oder Wetter o.ä.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Tolle Lage, ordentliche Stellplätze (mit E-Anschluss). Easy online buchbar - guter Online-Service

Disliked Es wäre toll, wenn es Bänke mit Tischen auch im hinteren Teil des Areals geben würde. Viele Wohnmobile haben nur sehr einfaches Equipment an Bord und eine stabile Alternative zum Frühstücken oder Abendessen wäre super. Wir haben unsere von einer der kleinen Tonnen bekommen. Die Dusche / Toilette war recht schmutzig.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Location

Disliked Poor facilities, set up of pitches. Was looking forward to visit to the site,the location was great,on arriving we were told we were on an non electric hook up when we paid for it,got changed,,then was told that there was about 15 pitches and to just chose where ever we wanted to park,on arriving at the pitches there wasn't anything marked out and people just parked where ever they liked, a bit of a mess...we drove about for a while to try and find an appropriate spot as we had trouble trying to find a hook up point after being told there was 15 available...great start.....the shower blocks weren't the biggest, for the amount of tourists in ,the ladies had to queue in the morning as it only had 2 showers, and was told by the wife, not very good either, the water wouldn't drain away whilst in there so was standing in the water constantly and no room gor your to hang your clothes..The gents weren't to bad except the only hand dryer didn't work.....great location but needs a bit of updating gor touring visitors

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Location, stunning views, peaceful.
Staff were amazing, will
Definitely go again.
I didn’t dislike anything but there are a few things that might help others
Take bottled water to drink.
The pitches can be on a slope so good wedges for the Moho are needed.
Hills are steep so any less abled may need to be aware.
Showers were ok, not amazing but ok.
Shop on site has basics.
Very dog friendly.

Amazing place

Disliked Nothing, was great place.

Local attractions

Getting out to see the surroundings? There are lots of lovely walks to be done nearby, or you can hire bikes in Oban (10 minutes’ drive) for scenic cycle rides. Achnalarig Riding Stables (10 minutes) is another option, for pony and horse riding lessons or treks – or you might like to see what’s out at sea by joining a scuba trip from Puffin Dive Centre (five minutes’ walk). Once you’ve viewed Kerrera from your pitch, head up the road (five minutes’ drive) to board a ferry over to the island – there’s a great seven-mile walking trail that runs from the harbour and will show you some of the island’s best bits. For other islands, it’s a 10-minute drive to Oban harbour, where services run to Lismore, Mull, Iona and Coll as well as more far-flung destinations. Back on the mainland, you may like to stop by at Dunstaffnage Castle (20 minutes), the Green Shoots garden (15 minutes) and Cruachan Dam Visitor Centre (35 minutes) – and don't forget a dram at Oban Distillery (10 minutes)…
