Roof Tent - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesMay 2025
Fabulous site with great pitches and facilities. Easy check in service, pitch easy to find and great views. The only negative was the temperature of the showers which were far too hot - we wouldn’t have washed our young children in them if they were with us.

Excellent camping on Mull. South of the island, it's perfect for the ferry at Craignure about 30 mins through the amazing valley.
Facilities are spotless, ace park for the kids and a very well stocked shop. More showers/toilets would make the site perfect. Small queues in the morning even in May. Excellent for touring. I recommend and would return!
