What customers say
This campsite boasts a stunning, scenic location close to Oban, with many guests praising the beautiful views and friendly, helpful staff. Facilities are generally reported as clean, though some mention they are dated and could benefit from upgrades. While many enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and spacious pitches, a significant number of reviews highlight issues with unlevel, muddy, or poorly defined pitches, particularly for larger vehicles, and concerns regarding the water supply. Ongoing development work was also noted by several visitors.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked A positive was how close the site is to Oban. Only a short 40 minute walk. The view was beautiful.
Disliked The shower and toilet blocks were dirty and not very well maintained. No warm water to wash dishes available and very muddy churned up field to park the motor home on.

Overpriced, poor service and not well organized
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked The location
Disliked Unfortunately too many things:
- the organization (pitches not given by the reception and as it is a big site you need to find one by yourself… and to keep it if you want to)
- the lack of a laundry service: the closest is at the other end of the town
- the lack of internet service
- the water wasn’t drinkable: they advise you to boil it but it was of a color we didn’t dare to (yellow)
- the reception was closed very early when we arrived ( 5 pm)
- the lack of hot water in one of the showers and in the wash up area
Of course, travelling and camping is a matter of adapting, so all these things are understandable and nothing really serious (apart from the water problem) but according to the price we paid which was the highest of our trip to Scotland we found it really inappropriate and overpriced

Liked Leaving
Disliked Nobody at reception on arrival very confusing as to where to pitch up for the night pitches very soft and churning up as trying to park, very unlevel and couldn’t use wedges as ground to soft. Dirty showers very run down need updating falling off doors and muddy floors. No drinking water available. Seems to be more consideration to lodges than organising anything for pitches. Spent 8 nights doing the nc500 then coming down to Oban on the way home it was the most expensive and the worst campsite we stayed at will definitely not be returning

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked There wasnt much I liked, apart from the view from the hill top...... toilets/showers were clean...
Disliked The pitches weren't defined, it was like a free for all, and had you chose to drive motorhome into town, there was no guarantee your spot would still be there on returning,
Also due to ongoing work the water was from a spring and needed to be boiled, unavoidable I guess

Great location but facilities completely let the whole campsite down.
Non-electric grass tent pitch

Would not recommend until basics are sorted.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Beautiful scenery, short drive into oban and lovely walks surrounding area.
Disliked No drinking water, all water needs boiled before use. No hot water to clean dishes, the area we stayed at only had one working shower which was a nightmare at busy times. Showers and toilets were closed for cleaning any time between 830 and 930 which everyone was complaining about as its thr busiest time for people. Too much work going into creating new pitch sites instead of sorting the basics first. No disabled/baby changing available, not suitable for families with young children

Won’t be every staying there ever
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked No
Disliked I left a message on there site email and phone number answer machine saying I could not make my appointment to stay there for 3 days on a touring pitch. Due to the strong winds we had earlier in the week having damaged my caravan, unfortunately no one from the caravan park could be bothered to get back to me regarding what I could do either pick a different date or a refund as I could not attend,
