  • Secluded Isle of Mull site 25 minutes’ drive from Tobermory
  • Calgary Beach half an hour’s drive; Duart Castle 35 minutes
  • Dog-friendly site with resident farm animals; close to woodland walks
The rugged landscapes of the Inner Hebrides are yours to explore from Crannich Campsite, a family- and dog-friendly spot on a working farm in the Aros Peninsula, the northern part of the Isle of Mull. For an added benefit, those landscapes come with assorted animal life, including resident Highland cattle, sheep and horses, red deer inhabiting the local forests and the white-tailed eagles, buzzards and hen harriers hovering high up in the skies. The pretty spectacular location in the middle of Glen Aros is another perk: think epic woodland walks, including the circular Cill An Ailean Trail (10 minutes’ drive), which takes you past the graveyards of a medieval chapel. There are more walking and cycling trails around Loch Frisa (20 minutes), plus fishing (with a permit) in the River Bellart. Oh, and you’ll be about 25 minutes’ drive from Tobermory, home of a renowned whisky distillery. The site feels blissfully secluded, and indeed it is – accessed via a private track away from the main road. The rural surroundings (with sweeping views of the glen) and the nicely spaced-out pitches contribute to creating a private and peaceful vibe. There is a toilet and shower block with hot water, plus a separate building with indoor washing-up areas and a drying room, not forgetting other amenities such as electric hook-ups and motorhome service points, plus charging and recycling facilities. If you fancy a barbecue, you can pick up supplies at the nearest shop in Salen (10 minutes), where there’s also a pub, a petrol station and a couple of cafés.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite (large)

Liked Lovely secluded site amongst the trees and very quiet. Lovely scenic walks from your pitch. We had a lovely pitch in our camper van, number 3, which was in front of a small pond surrounded by trees/bushes. Check-in was really simple, basically your pitch is on a board as you go in and that’s it! Toilet/shower facilities were really clean and heated well, which was lovely during a cool wet September. They are unisex and self contained, toilet/sink in a room, shower in another which I think is a great idea as there is more privacy.

Disliked There is only 1 toilet room and 1 shower room. It is a very small site for campers but maybe another one of each is needed.

Ian G.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite (small)

Liked The location and site were ideal. The facilities were excellent, apart from the issue others have raised regarding only 1 shower and 1 toilet. Both were clean but only having access to one of each when the site was full was sometimes frustrating. Fees were value for money.

Local attractions

In addition to the Mull Aquarium, with its sustainable catch-and-release policy (residents are let go after four weeks), Tobermory is home to the Tobermory Distillery. This artisanal whisky distillery has been going for more than two centuries, and it runs guided tours and tastings. Lots of wildlife boat trips also set off from Tobermory Harbour. For a day at the seaside, head to Calgary Beach (half an hour’s drive), in a deep bay on the west coast of Mull. Just behind this vast expanse of white sand is Calgary Art in Nature, a woodland sculpture trail. Among its creations are a willow stag, a timber shark and a fairy house in the trunk of a tree. Overlooking the Sound of Mull from a rocky perch is the 14th-century Duart Castle (35 minutes). Check out the family portraits in the Great Hall before visiting the Clan Exhibition, which illustrates the link between the Maclean family (who built the castle) and the Scouting Association.
