About Crannich Campsite

This scenic site is set on a traditional working farm on the Isle of Mull, an island famous for its wildlife, landscapes, beaches and rare geology. The site offers stunning panoramic views of Glen Aros from dusk to dawn and is ideal for those seeking a rural escape. The site offers six hardstanding pitches with electric hook ups exclusively for motorhomes, campervans and touring caravans. The pitches are large and well-spaced to ensure privacy. You'll also have the opportunity to meet the resident farm animals, including highland cattle, sheep, horses, Indian game, guineafowl and peafowl. Sustainability and biodiversity is hugely important to this site, and each year the owners plant hundreds of trees, slowly transforming the surrounding landscape into a native woodland. The site is well located for exploring the island's main attractions. You're just ten minutes from Salen, the closest village, and 25 minutes from Craignure, the main ferry port. The coastal town of Tobermory is also nearby and well worth a visit - you might recognise it from the children's TV series 'Balamory'! Feel free to bring your four-legged friend along for the fun, just remember to keep them on a lead around the site.

Crannich Campsite is open from 01/03 to 11/03 and 01/04 to 29/09.

A note from the site themselves...

Crannichs story began back in 2003 when we moved from Devon to this beautiful Hebridean island with our young family to start a new adventure.

Our long term dream of combining farming and tourism began with creating a wonderful oasis of new woodlands, and natural landscaping with walks around wildlife ponds and on the land with its panoramic views of the glen, it's a place to unwind and relax truly.

The holiday caravans were first and a few years later we created our small family run campsite that runs happily alongside our farming business of award winning highland cattle and blackface sheep.

A great opportunity for those with an interest in nature woodland creation and animals to come and stay on a working island farm and to see what we do.

There was one tree when we moved here on the whole of Crannich farm, and over the years, we have planted extensively, creating new woodlands and landscaped areas around the campsite, all sensitively designed so we still retain the beautiful views across the glen and towards the white tailed sea eagle territory at Loch Frisa.

We hope those who come and stay share our passion for nature, wildlife and the great outdoors!

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2024

A great Campsite with fantastic views all around. Situated on a farm, so there were lots of Highland cows, Pea cocks, ducks etc. Piping hot shower and toilet room. Room for hanging wet clothes and washing up facilities. Sam and their daughter were very nice, helpful and friendly. A good location for north and central Mull. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Long weekend on the Isle of Mull

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesSep 2023

We used this site as base for a long weekend on Mull. The site is perfect for a base to explore or if you want to get away from it all. The facilities were good, clean and well maintained.

Great place to stay

Peaceful place to stay. Wonderful countryside views to wake up to. Great communication from the owner before we came. Easy to follow instructions of which pitch we were allocated. Fantastic shower too! Lots of hot water. Central location in the middle of Mull. Easy to get to everywhere on the island. I would stay here again. Thanks Sam!
