Oban holiday park - looking out onto the isle of kerrera and onto mull in the distance. (added by manager 14 sep 2023)

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.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: We stayed for 2 nights here. Nice site and staff very helpful. The weather was terrible, but the views unreal. Toilet blocks good with nice hot showers.

Disliked: No hot water for washing dishes and water onsite from natural spring, so needs boiled before drinking, so just take bottled water for tea etc.. 45 minute walk into Oban town or £10 taxi.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Absolutely gorgeous place, full of incredible scenery. Get there early for the best vantage spot/ easy to drive off spot. Facilities are basic but fine. This is a lovely spot and very close to Oban centre.

Disliked: Grass pitches are very iffy if it’s been raining, as others have said- it took us a few precarious attempts to get off our pitch area! The site could do with some rubble laid down in areas near the electric hook ups.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: We had such a wonderful time here, it was our favourite camp site during our trip. The guy on reception was so welcoming. Finding out we could watch the highland cops being fed was the highlight of our holiday. The toilets/showers were clean. On-site shop available. A lovely playground. We were also allowed to choose where we set up camp.

Disliked: The only downside was not having Wi-Fi available on the camping pitches so we had to walk down to the shop to use it. Apart from that it was perfect!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: The scenery ,thats it .

Disliked: Where do i start.No allocated pitch and all on the grass so you can park anywhere if you find a pitch .We got stuck on the grass as our front wheels sank in and had to get towed out.Took over and hour to clean our motorhome due to the wheels spinning and muck everywhere.Arrived at 1pm and got settled for 4pm.Its around a 1 hour walk to Oban therefore we got a taxi which was £10 each way .No hot water for dishes at the two points allocated ,wifi worked at the reception but would not futher up the caravan site.Definetley needs money spent on the pitches .

The mains water was from a spring so ideally it needed to be boiled

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)…
