  • 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.

What customers say

Tranquil site, stunning views, spacious pitches, friendly owners. Great showers, but can be queues. Wildlife a hit. Wi-Fi iffy, midges present summer. Still a peaceful, well-placed Mull base.

Electric gravel touring pitch (small)

Liked The location was perfect, so peaceful and our pitch had beautiful views over the hills and trees.
The campsite was so calm and quiet - we were probably the noisy ones with 4 dogs (sorry!!).
The owners are so chilled, very laid back and friendly - thank you!
Facilities had space for wet clothes which was needed in the wet weather we had!

Disliked Only 1 toilet and 1 shower for the entire site. Whilst I had to wait only once, my wife was unlucky and had to wait everytime! The shower needed a good clean and perhaps a fan in there - the condensation and smell of damp was quite high.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch (XL)

Liked Views, decent size pitches, friendly owner.

Disliked Only one shower and one toilet for I believe 7 pitches. Required coordinating with neighbouring pitches over who was using the shower next. I don’t mind this for a cheap overnight stay, but I thought we paid what I’d expect for a well serviced campsite. On one morning there was no water at all, so no shower.

This is a site that has so much potential but needs work.

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.
