What customers say
This site boasts stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, conveniently located a short walk or drive from Oban. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, and the well-maintained grounds. However, some reviewers mention that the touring pitches can be soft and uneven, especially in wet weather, and a number of facilities, including water supply and showers, could benefit from an upgrade. Despite these drawbacks, many guests found it a great base for exploring the local area and would recommend it.

Liked Friendly welcome
Disliked The shower block was revolting and the path access had been blocked by 4 heaps of building hardcore. There was no way we would shower in there as they were horrible. Couldn’t get there either except by walking over really boggy ground. This area was being worked on and was far from ready for visitors.
The website promotes the lovely Loch views. But these can only be enjoyed by the large number of static caravans. The motorhome pitches are in a dip looking at the back of the ugly static vans. We felt like we were in an episode of Colditz with rows and rows of prisoner blocks.
I think it’s fair to say that this site is set up predominantly for the static caravans. Motorhome are a complete afterthought. Their nightly rate does not reflect this however.
Final comment - we were really disappointed to find that there were no laundry facilities on site. We had been doing the North Coast 500, on the road for weeks. Every single site we had stayed on previously had a washer and dryer, even the little sites in really remote locations.

Nettes Personal, aber Preis/ Leistung ist schlecht.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Der Campingplatz hatte sich " geupgraded", anstatt Grass-Platz gab es frisch angelegte Hardstanding. Das ist ein Riesenplus , denn bei den vielen Regen zum Frühlingsanfang sind die Grasplätze viel zu weich für Wohnmobile. Allerdings gab's nur begrenzte Hardstandings. Wer zuerst kommt malt zuerst. Die letzten beißen die Hunde.
Es gibt viele Auslauffeldern für Hunde bzw. Viele Wege zum Gassi gehen. Ausblick vom Hügel ist super. Die Landschaft ist hier einmalig schön. Das Personal ist freundlich.
Disliked Der Platz ist am umbauen, ein von zwei Facility Häuser war gesperrt, somit gab es zu wenig Toiletten und Duschen, die außerdem nicht gepflegt wurden. Herrenhäuschen hatte eine kaputte Außentür. Anfang April war es draußen irre kalt, somit war das Häuschen auch kalt. Duschwasser war zwar warm, aber der Raum hatte Außentemperatur. Das Dusch-Wasser lief kaum ab. Man sollte Plateau Schuhe zum Duschen tragen. Es gibt kein Trinkwasserversorgung. Das Brauchwasser vom Hahn ist natürliches Bergwasser. Es gibt kein Laundry. Kein WLAN, aber Netz ist ok.

Good size pitch, Hardstanding.…
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Good size pitch, Hardstanding.
Disliked Drinking water was terrible if you had to use it, it had to be boiled before you could, I refused to put it through my water system on my caravan as I would have had to give it a good decontamination when I got home, we had to travel to Oban to purchase bottled water at our cost which I think the site should supply FOC to site users as a good will gesture.
The electrical supply to my caravan tripped out from site supply, I phoned the emergency number that was on the welcome leaflet and to young members of staff arrived and didn't have a clue what to do, luckily I am a retired electrician and was able to restore supply as the staff members informed me that they could only call their emergency electrician which there was no way that it would have been restored that night it was only 1700hrs.
The closest amenities block was closed without warning as they were carrying out work to said building, we were informed by staff that we would have to use the block which was slightly more of a distance away but did have hot water in the dishwashing area.
Other than the above we did have a good time.

Excellent site with great walking trails and beautiful scenery.

Liked Spacious pitches with car next to you. Great location and will be returning.
Disliked Limited shower availability and not always clean depending on person before you. In same room as toilets but was great for a campsite.

Disliked Toilet / shower block tiny pointless heater basically a shed door ( nobody bothered closing), maybe a spring to close to maintain the minimum heat. No hot water to wash, to cold to shower.

Would love to go back but only when the grounds dry.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Great site and views, helpful staff. Toilet block spotless.
Disliked Sadly waterlogged grass pitches meant parking on gravelled area in front of swing park. Fine cos site was quiet during the week, but maybe more firm pitches required?

Not worth the 30 pound fee per night as no benefit for a motorhome.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Nice location.
Disliked Motorhome pitches were on grass and not suitable for weight. Toilet blocks have no hot water for washing and use water for the hills. Toilet roll wasn't replaced the 2 days we stayed. No free WiFi for use and poor to no signal on mobile.

Facilities are ean but cold and outdated.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Views out to sea
Disliked Toilet block was old and freezing cold. Showers were hot but made little difference when getting dressed. Grass pitches for moterhomes were ok but it was wet and so we were worried about becoming stuck. The pitches are on a slope so beware before parking as this can make sleeping awkward. Would be nice to have level hardstanding pitches with water as well as electric!
