  • Small and peaceful park a few steps from the beach
  • Spectacular sea views over to Jura and Islay
  • Wildlife and birdwatching haven
It's only a few steps from your accommodation to the beaut beach of Muasdale Holiday Park on the west coast of Kintyre: your dog will surely be delighted. As will scenery seekers: 'perfect', 'stunning' and 'beautiful' are just a few of the plaudits piled on the spectacular sea scenery from this park – now under new ownership – along with an observation from one chuffed former guest wondering who would need a telly when pitching up here…? Muasdale is a small, peaceful and family-run park midway between Tarbert and Campbeltown, and in a coastal locale of splendid scenery, right on the beach with striking vistas over to the islands of Islay, Jura and Gigha. The ferries are a short drive from the site for days of island-hopping; you can even get over to Ballycastle and Northern Ireland for the day via the Isle of Islay. As you might reckon, this is wildlife and birdwatching heaven, with seals, otters and springtime nesting birds on the beach, more seals in the surrounding waters, and many a seabird overhead. It's fishing land too, so bring your kit with you. Supplies can be picked up at two large supermarkets in Campbeltown or at the village shop in Muasdale, which is well stocked with essentials. The local bus stop 100 yards from the site runs to Campbeltown and Tarbert Taynloan to meet up with the Gigha ferry, or Kennacraig to meet up with the Islay ferry; this is also the main bus to Glasgow. And then there are the sunsets around here: take a minute now and sigh happily over those site pics...

What customers say

Great little beachside spot with awesome views. Spotless loos, peaceful vibes, and amazing wildlife like seals and dolphins. Judith the host is a legend. A bit of road noise and seaweed, but mostly immaculate and worth a return trip.

Liked The campsite warden - really friendly and welcoming
The place was spotless

Disliked The busy road next to the campsite.
The pitch (no.5) was too far from the electric hook up and put right next to other camper
The stink of sewage
Quite expensive
Although right on the beach - there’s a busy road directly behind the campsite

Liked Convent site, the warden was very pleasant, welcoming and accommodating. Lovely views on a clear day

Disliked Small pitches quite close together, was okay when we visited as only a couple of pitches taken.
Showers need to be better thought out, there was nowhere near the shower to hang a towel or put toiletries, although there were hooks near the door entrance. There was nowhere to sit your dry/clean clothes or to sit whilst dressing.

Liked Lovely site with amazing views, the sunsets are unreal!! Facilities were cleaned regularly.

Disliked During our stay there was a couple of drainage issues with both toilets fully blocked and unusable and showers flooding. Unfortunately was unable to get hold of anyone to rectify despite texting and calling but this had been resolved the following day.

Powered grass caravan site (sea view)

Liked I had expected this small site to be a bit basic, having chosen it only for its sunsets. However it was lovely. Warm welcome, advice about the area, spotless new facilities. And of course, being by the beach, the sunsets over the isles.

Disliked A few midges but manageable with sprays.

Local attractions

Get ready to go a-sailing… and along to Campbeltown for regular boat trips to Ailsa Craig, Sanda Island and around the peninsula for wildlife and whale watching. On damp days, take the kids to seek refuge at the small soft play, the swimming pool or the oldest cinema in Scotland. Forest and hill walks are a short distance from the site. A boat also goes to Ballycastle from here via Islay: from there, take a ferry back over water to reach the fab and tiny RSPB reserve of Rathlin Island (here there be puffins). Are you a golfer? And if so, have you ever hit a ball over the Atlantic? If your responses here were first Aye and then a wistful Nay, take the tees to Machrihanish Golf Club above the northern tip of the Mull of Kintyre to try it out. Several other golf courses are in the area once this has whetted your golfing whistle: try Carradale and Dunaverty to start things off. This is also whisky land, with the two distilleries of Glen Scotia and Springbank in Campbeltown. Both have gift shops (huzzah) and run regular tours.
