Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Future of motor homing, you don’t check in. You drive in, your pitch is allocated. You look on screen on entrance. Very clean well ran site. Good pub, have to pre book meals. Shop has everything you need. Great shower block. Amazing views, you are literally on the waters edge.

Caroline S.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The setting is beautiful. Stunning views of the loch and hills beyond.
Very easy to check in and clear where we were to go (we were camping with a tent).
Plenty of parking near the tent pitch so easy to unload the tent etc.
Secure dog run which was very handy.
Toilets and showers were clean. Showers were hot and powerful!
Handy sinks and fridges for cleaning up and storing food.
Nice park for children which you can see from the pub!
Shop on site was well stocked.
Laundry on site if you needed it.
Cleaned regularly.
Other campers were very friendly!

Disliked It would be handy to be able to book a pitch where you can have a van right next to your tent. We don’t sleep in the van but it’s handy to sit in.

Local attractions

Take the road west… wild Ulva is an island with only a few residents but plenty of ruins, and accessible by a ferry just over an hour's drive from the site. Also to the west is the gorgeous Eas Fors Waterfall (an hour and 15 minutes' drive) and the white-sand Calgary beach (an hour and a half). Stay east and there are castles in store… Aros (50 minutes) is a 13th-century castle built by an old lord and was once a key stronghold for the isles. Built in the 1860s, Glengorm Castle (an hour and 20 minutes) is pretty grand too, on the northern tip of Mull. It’s easy to spend a day just exploring the main street in Tobermory (an hour and 10 minutes) too, as it has a distillery, harbour, catch and release aquarium and shops with crafts and chocolate. Get to know the rural way of life on Mull at the 1500-acre farm at Ardalanish Isle of Mull Weavers (25 minutes), which has a farm shop with products from Hebridean sheep.
