Port nan Gael Campsite Reviews

Perfect, perfect, perfect!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend at Port nan Gael Campsite on the Isle of Mull. The campsite's location is stunning, nestled amidst beautiful landscapes with perfect views of Loch Scridain. The site is incredibly peaceful and beautiful to wake up to each day! The staff at Port nan Gael were excellent, providing helpful assistance and clear communication throughout our stay and super friendly to boot! Overall, our experience was exceptional, and we highly recommend Port nan Gael Campsite for a tranquil getaway on the Isle of Mull. We can't wait to return!

Beautiful place

Toilet and showers - great design and spotless. Got all facilities and a pub next door. What more would you want? Of course - a beautiful view, which it has! Ideal site for Mull.

Great site

Fabulous views and the facilities were very modern and clean. There was a great pub and food next door, which was very welcoming. We had a slight problem with EHU, which was our own ignorance of not knowing to depress the central switch on the unit. I rang the site emergency number and they contacted me straight back, we had however managed to figure it out. We would stay there again.

Lovely little site on seafront

Right on the seafront. Excellent facilities, spotlessly clean. Pub next door. Self check in service. Plenty of information posted around the site. Enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Fantastic stay!

We had a great stay at Port nan Gael. Very easy to find a spot, fantastic views of Mull, right next to a pub and great quality facilities. The showers were clean and hot. 10/10 recommend.

We will be back

This site is fantastic, it provides good, clean facilities at a budget. The owners are friendly and easy to chat to. Due to Cal Mac issues we missed our first night, this was easily amended to add a night and I wish we stayed longer. Drive carefully and it's worth it when you realise that you are in a brilliant spot for getting around. Easy drive south to ferries to Iona, Staffa, gorgeous white beaches with no footprints on....bliss. We watched Gannets dive 30m as tide came in, red deer interrupted our dogs walk in the dark, as they do. Not bad for midges...unless it rains and then the wind drops....there's usually enough of a breeze though. Take binoculars, enjoy the sunsets, watch the stars and chill...it's perfect. Our dog loved it too and not one tick either. Our only gripe is we couldn't stay for longer, but guaranteed to be back soon. Thank you Mull.

Lovely little campsite!

Lovely campsite on a beautiful spot. Facilities were spotless with great water pressure in the showers. Still some ways to go with providing the necessary facilities to accommodate the number of pitches, however, they seem to be in the process of rectifying this. I look forward to returning when the facilities are finished, which I'm sure will be in no time at all with the rate that it was going up at. Pub next door is a great bonus!

Beautiful site

This is a new site so some of the facilities are in progress but everything else is fantastic. The Inn is lovely, just finding it's feet but the mussels are gorgeous.

Scenic place to visit the southwest of Mull

Great campsite, scenic view over the Loch. The Inn just east of the campsite can very much be recommended. One suggestion for improvement: coat hooks above the wash basins and in the toilets would be quite useful.

Site's response

Thanks for taking the time to review. We have now added coat hooks in the toilet/shower block and also the pot wash. Hope to have you return in the future!

Fabulous!

I loved this site. The views were phenomenal, the plots were level and well maintained and the shower block was regularly cleaned with powerful showers. What was great too was that there was a pub serving locally produced food next door and it was on the main bus route, which meant I didn't have to break camp and I could enjoy 3 trips to Iona stress free. Will have no hesitation staying here again if I return to Mull.

Great stay

We had an excellent 3-night stay. Facilities were just perfect for our needs. The Inn is also excellent and right next door!

Thank you kindly for your review! Come back and visit again.

Super site!

Set on the edge of a Loch, surrounded by mountains and with great facilities. Next door to a hotel/restaurant where we had a really tasty supper. Really easy to book and emails dealt with quickly. Unusual that everything is dealt with remotely, but it works well

Thank you for reviewing - pleased to hear that our modern contactless system is being well received.

Excellent base camp

The stay at Port nan Gael was brilliant! Arrival was so easy and simple. The facilities were very clean and the showers were always hot. The location is perfect for heading out towards Iona or to explore the north of the island. The dog and I had an absolutely brilliant time and will definitely be back. As a solo female traveller felt completely safe and comfortable, and everyone was so lovely to chat to. Even managed to see a gorgeous sunset from our pitch despite the days being rainy and windy.

Few facilities but beautifully remote location

Great location - outstanding in its remote & rugged beauty. Unfortunately it had very minimal facilities - showers, toilets and drinking water only. The toilets & showers were impeccable and toasty warm. No washing up or laundry facilities which was disappointing as a tent camper, no where to wash up or dry your wet clothes. No one to welcome you to the site, which is fine but would have preferred a welcome. There is a pub nearby (very close walking distance) but if you want to avoid the pub, my advice: make sure you're well supplied with food and drinks as the nearest decent store is a fair few miles away!

Thank you for taking the time to review. Please know that our website does state what facilities we offer. We are a modern contactless check-in site - if you are looking to be greeted on arrival there are plenty of campsites offering this on our lovely island. We have set up a system to match our fragile ferry systems which have arrivals at all hours. We would kindly ask that you review your rating to assess what facilities we did provide.

Fantastic site

Great site, highly recommend. They don't have pot wash at the moment but are getting it soon. Also have a baby bath and change table, which is such a help with a little one. Beautiful location and you can see otters from your van. Pub next door serving excellent food and drink. Definitely would return.

Thank you for reviewing - pot was has now been installed! Hope to have you back in the future.

Beautiful, tranquil and clean!

Very peaceful and clean, not too many midges and food at local inn was good too. Definitely would stay here again for the tranquillity, beautiful views clean facilities and ease of use.

Very peaceful

Great location for a peaceful stay on Mull. Brand new campsite opened this year so unfortunately missing pot wash facilities. However, these are due to be installed in July.

Site's response

Thank you for reviewing! Our pot wash is now installed. Hope to have you back!

Correct

Nice location. Lack of sink for washing up. Non-existent reception (Translated from French)

Site's response

Thank you for reviewing. Please know that we operate a contactless site with no reception and pride ourselves on this system. It is to facilitate ferry timetables and provide a seamless and peaceful arrival/departure. Pot wash has now been installed!

Great place!

Great campsite for a campervan. The facilities were spotless and the showered were fantastic! We had lovely sunset views over the hills also.
