Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Fantastic spot. Great views. Modern site. Excellent shop and wonderful pub. Very handy for Iona.
Disliked I was there out of season but I suspect 3 toilets/showers may not be sufficient when full. As they are Portacabins, this may well be the next phase.

Excellent site, clean facilities and our pitch was level
Non-electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Brilliant modern site, no reception with a dedicated check in time Instead there is a large screen with guest arrivals and pitch numbers along with the site map. We were also emailed the pitch numbers a couple of days beforehand.
We were on a non electric pitch right at the front of the site with uninterrupted views over the loch, our pitch was graded flat but some of the others would need leveling ramps. The aggregate used to grade the site was nice and chunky so non of it gets walked into your van on your shoes.
It was only a short walk from our pitch to the wash station, toilets and bins. The toilets are clean modern porta cabins and the showers are both powerful (for a campsite) and warm.
There is a dog exercise area where they can run off of the lead, a small park for the children and just next door there is a local shop, 2 washing machines and a drier and the local pub that does good food. For anyone who likes a wild swim the loch is just across the road from the site, i can confirm it's definitely chilly in there at the end of October 😆
I would definitely recommend the use of this site if you're touring mull, they also had modern camping pods and plenty of tent pitching area for people without vans

Liked Really lovely location. Nice well maintained site and toilets. The little shop is lovely and having a little dog run to let the dog off the lead is really handy.

Very nice site, fantastic location
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Location, facilities
Disliked Lack of drinking water on first day
Automatic check in, prefer a host
The food at the adjacent pub, described as ‘excellent’, was disappointing and overpriced. Frozen reheated fish and chips…. Not what we expected
