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.

Liked Location close to Oban. Views of Kerrera. Late availability and ease of booking. Interesting varied topography.

Disliked Showers didn’t drain properly and needed some upgrading. Inability to fill campervan with water given the water supply on site had to be boiled before use was inconvenient.

Liked Ruime plek. Sanitair schoon. Vriendelijk personeel

Disliked Modderig grasveld, moeilijk om weg te rijden met de caravan .
Water niet drinkbaar , dus niet mogelijk de water tank aan te vullen van de caravan. Water moet eerst gekookt worden voor consumptie .
Beloofde mooie uitzicht bezet door mobile homes.
Slechte toegangs weg naar de camping , eerst door het centrum van de stad Oban, daarna zeer smalle weg met geparkeerde auto's bij de pont naar een eiland en slecht wegdek.
Prijs van de camping te duur in verhouding met omstandigheden .
Wifi alleen bij de receptie .

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)…
