Peaceful and relaxing views from the pods

Modern outdoor accommodation with spectacular loch and mountain views
A few minutes' walk from Dalavich; 50 minutes' drive from Oban
Firepit and fishing available on site; next to a bar and grill

Like the sound of pods with private decking by a loch? Then you'll no doubt be rather taken with Loch Awe Camping Pods, a modern, small-scale site on the peaceful banks of Loch Awe. You'll want to head to this secluded spot if wild fishing, mountain explores and lochside campfires are on your bucket list… The accommodation here is stylish, spacious and self-contained: each unit contains comfortable sleeping quarters as well as a heater, kettle, microwave, fridge and outdoor seating area. They're also well insulated, so you're pretty sure to be warm and toasty here whatever the time of year. Oh, and this could be the deal-clincher – all the pods have direct access to the gorgeous loch shore. Once you've settled down for a waterside stay, sorting practicalities is a doddle. Loch Awe Camping Pods guests have access to communal facilities including two individual toilets with coin-operated showers and a coin-operated laundry area that's open 24 hours a day. Guests wishing to fish must purchase a permit in advance (contact the site when booking for details). Loch Awe Camping Pods is a few minutes' walk from Dalavich's shop and café and next to Lochview Bar and Grill (seasonal opening hours), where there's a playground for any kids you've brought along. Jaunts further afield can also be sorted with ease, whether you're heading for the Highlands, aiming for the islands via the ferry port of Oban (50 minutes' drive) or fancy a day at the beach.

Disliked: Distance and difficulty to go to the toilet/showers, especially in the night. It did not feel clean, the surfaces felt somewhat sticky like they hadn’t been washed properly for some time and had only been wiped over by a solution.

Liked: Nice location with clean pods nice clean toilet and shower blocks with access to laundry.

Disliked: Feels like it is only set up to take as much money as possible off travelers/ fishing with not a lot offered in return.Not welcoming to fishing with questionable advice given on site. Very poor amenities. No shop after 5 pm unless 30 miles round trip

Liked: Our second time at the pods and no complaints. Had a brilliant night in the community club, everyone was welcoming and spoke to us. Pods themselves are clean, neat and it was cosy with our bedding through the night. The view is amazing as well.

Disliked: Would have preferred some gripper mats on the decking due to how icy it was and being 7 months pregnant. And potentially some cutlery available in the pod.

Local attractions

Walks, watersports and hikes around Loch Awe are all immediately accessible here, and if you're feeling adventurous you could even paddle over to the island of Innis Chonnel for another view of the area. Loch Avich, roughly 10 minutes’ drive away, is also close by and has more opportunities for rambling and admiring the ruins of long-gone medieval castles and crannogs. For more history, head to Dunadd Fort (35 minutes), an Iron Age hillfort believed to have been the centre of the ancient kingdom of Dal Riata, which emerged in this part of Argyll after the Romans abandoned their hopes of conquering Scotland. If you like your castles to be a bit more intact, you should try Kilchurn Castle (45 minutes) or Dunstaffnage Castle and its equally impressive chapel (50 minutes). The planned town of Inveraray (an hour and 10 minutes) should also be on your itinerary, whether you're intrigued by its past as a clan seat, its gorgeous castle gardens, the historic jailhouse and neoclassical buildings or are on the lookout for a starting point for exploring the coastal shores of Loch Fyne.
