  • 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, conveniently close to Oban. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff. However, reviews consistently highlight issues with dated and poorly maintained toilet and shower facilities, often described as dirty, with some experiencing blocked drains and insufficient hot water. The water supply, sourced from a spring, requires boiling before use, and some guests noted a lack of drinkable water taps. Pitches, often on slopes and prone to becoming waterlogged, are also a common concern, with a lack of allocated spots causing disorganisation. WiFi is generally poor or non-existent away from reception. While some find the site peaceful, others mention noise from lodges. There is a focus on static caravans over touring facilities, leading to a feeling of them being an afterthought.

 Norman R. 1 review

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Nothing; zero wifi pitches were bogged down, and the site map was all wrong. Shower blocks and toilets were disgraceful: feces on the wall, loo roll holders laying on the floor dirty showers, and the main door does not close. Pods are full of loud pissheads out for the weekend, not settling down until the wee hours If you have any overhang on your motorhome, forget emptying your grey water, as there is a fence 3ft behind the drain; you will need a length of hose. And the pit is uphill, so you will never fully empty your tank. The road in is treacherous on the way in, single track, with Colin McRae wannabes flying around; plus side , the staff are super nice, perhaps more effort is put into the site during summer months;

Camping pod

Liked Der Pod war schön gelegen und auf dem Platz gibt es eine herrliche Aussicht.

Disliked Leider war nicht gereinigt und es waren Reste vom Vormieter drin.

Die sanitären Anlagen waren leider auch nicht gereinigt und es war sehr unhygienisch.

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)…
