  • 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.

What customers say

This campsite boasts a beautiful location with stunning views, conveniently close to Oban and ferry links. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, and peaceful atmosphere. However, recurring concerns include the water supply requiring boiling, dated and sometimes unclean toilet/shower blocks, and a lack of dedicated hardstanding pitches which can lead to muddy conditions. Some guests also noted a lack of Wi-Fi and mobile signal on pitches.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Site was reasonably priced and close to Oban.

Disliked We were using the site as a stop over for the night. We arrived after the office had closed. And discovered that there was a problem with the water supply and water need to be boiled. Had received an email confirming booking, so it would have been helpful to mention it. Facilities were not particularly clean.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Not a lot, but there are nice views I guess

Disliked No useable (drinkable) fresh water during our stay. Location is really quite far from anything. Showering and toilet facilities were absolutely disgusting and in serious need of modernising. Also no WiFi.
We actually didn't stay the 2nd night of our visit and instead made alternative plans. We also had no interaction with any staff whilst we were there which was quite bizarre. Surprised to see that there are luxury cabins at this location that they're trying to flog.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The Highland Coos!

Disliked Sadly this campsite has been developed to become more a mobile home holiday park and the touring pitches with hard standings have been allocated the least attractive pitches looking onto the back of the said new mobile homes . The toilets/shower blocks are unexceptional. At £45 a night it’s pretty steep.

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)…
