Oban Holiday Park

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 stunning location with beautiful views and offers friendly, helpful staff. Pitches are generally spacious, and many visitors enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and proximity to Oban. However, some guests noted dated or insufficient facilities, particularly concerning toilet and shower blocks and a lack of drinkable water without boiling. Issues with waterlogged grass pitches were also reported. Despite these drawbacks, many found the site to be a good base for exploring the area.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Die schöne Lage mit toller Aussicht, für uns perfekt als Zwischenstopp auf unserem Roadtrip nach Mull/Islay

Disliked Wenig Toiletten und nur eine Dusche pro Geschlecht, wohl eher ausgelegt auf autarke Wohnmobile oder Gäste der Ferienhäuser, bei längerem Aufenthalt zur Hochsaison evtl. etwas knapp, aber für uns (für eine Nacht) völlig ok.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Quiet site and clean facilities

Disliked Staff not really helpful when trying to find suitable pitch. Informed we should boil water to drink or buy bottled water. Found our pitch and walked back to get water only to find shop and reception had closed so we couldn’t get the bottled water. It would have been also helpful to have WiFi code on paperwork and also to be informed the site is a WiFi black spot. Not much phone signal either away from the main reception

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Nice location.

Disliked The only good thing about this campsite is its location.
Unfortunately, the sanitary standards are very low. There was only one shower and two toilets, which is not enough.
I wouldn't stay here again.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The location.

Disliked The toilets were disgusting up on the top part of the site where the electrical hook ups were. I don’t mind a toilet block which is dated, but this was just not cleaned very well - if at all when we were there. The urinals were also overflowing and nothing seemed to be done about it. Toilet rolls were also not topped up frequently enough. Sorry, but a lovely location spoiled.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Views around the site are amazing.

Disliked No fresh water, direct from hills, so advised not to use. Toilet block was disgraceful, needs full revamp, dirty water on floor, smell and generally run down. Roads to and from single track, however, expected due to location.

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)…
