About the site


Set within the beautiful area of Gallanchmore, this family friendly site enjoys great views of the Island of Kerrera. Only ten minutes from the seaside town of Oban, the site also acts as an ideal base for boat trips to the nearby islands. For tents and campervans, there are a total of 70 non electric grass pitches, each allowing up to six guests. There are also 50 electric grass pitches onsite, suitable for tents and campervans, caravans, motorhomes and RVs. Each of these comes with a 16 amp hook up and allows a maximum of eight people. If you would rather travel light, the park also offers a range of pods and lodges, some with private hot tubs! Evenings can also be spent in the open, cooking up something on the BBQ or gas stove, or gathered around the fire pit. Four-legged friends are also well-catered for with an onsite dog walk. Up to two dogs are welcome per pitch. There is access to spring water, but this will need to be boiled before drinking.

Electric pitches are available year round, non electric pitches are available from March to October.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

The best things about the site were the lovely views and friendly reception staff. The rest is poor. Site layout for tourers was chaotic. No marked spaces, vans and tents too close together. Facilities were the the worst we've experienced in our travels round Scotland. Showers are a health and safety nightmare, the temperature gauge didn't work and I alternated between freezing and boiling my skin off. The shower head kept falling off the wall as well. Toilets dirty and not cleaned. While we were there, a guy turned up in his cart and spent a maximum of 2 mins, not sure what he did? My husband didn't even attempt a shower in the men's block as it was too dirty. No hot water for washing up either. Ambiance, first impression was a building site, not somewhere I wanted to stay and access is poor. Finally, no drinking water - I don't expect to pay the high price you charged for one night for such a poor site and be told must boil the water.

1st night using a campervan

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

Great location, only 10 mins drive from Oban. Difficult to find a flat pitch in the tent and campervan field. Only one shower in the lower block, but facilities were very clean and there was another toilet/shower block further up the park. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
