  • 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 site offers stunning views and a beautiful location close to Oban. Staff are consistently praised for being friendly and helpful. Facilities, particularly toilets and showers, are generally clean but frequently described as dated, basic, and in need of refurbishment, with some guests reporting issues with drainage, water temperature, and cleanliness. The water supply is often reported as undrinkable, requiring boiling. Pitches are typically grass, can be uneven and sloping, and may become waterlogged in wet weather. Access roads are narrow. WiFi is limited and often unavailable on pitches. Many guests note the site seems to prioritise static lodges over touring facilities.

 Jane T. 5 reviews

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Nothing about this site did we like which is hard to say but true for us

Disliked This site is only interested in its holiday homes and campers are a second thought. No fresh water all water comes from the hills and has to be boiled, NO WiFi, no laundry facilities (comment from warden- "the lodges have washing machines") well chuck that doesn't help the camper if needed. It was park up where every you like and as the evening progressed it was chaos as people were trying to find a spot and having to close camp to the next person's unit. Wardens and Team its not hard work to mark out pitches and also add to your map where the electric hook up points are as people including me had to walk your very steep site to find the points.
Bathroom facilities - Yuck! not clean, no privacy showers have no where to get undress and dressed as you have to exit the shower and dry and change in the main communal area - again it feels like an after thought. Too far out from Oben Taxi £10

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Staff were lovely, welcoming, helpful and friendly. Field was well maintained. And a nice wee shop.

Disliked Only 1 small shower cubicle, and 2 toilets. Which both ran out of toilet paper on 2 separate nights.
Could do witha bin or 2 in the fields.
Duck enclosure needs a good upgrade.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The quiet site. We were in electric hook up grass pitches, staff were exceptional, friendly and helpful. perfect for us as I suffer from ongoing health issues and mobility,, nice little walks to take the dog. I certainly re charged my batteries.

Disliked Road to come down, one track and quite narrow. Brown water but you can buy at the shop, toilets were ok but we were on a grass pitch, so we did expect the floor to be dirty, especially with kids running out and in.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely park, well situated, helpful Staff

Disliked Bit disappointed with cleanliness of shower facilities, however, did notice that campers didn't clean cubicles after use. Maybe installation of a long handled squeegee in each cubicle would encourage users to clean up after themselves

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)…
