We booked a night here as we had a free couple of days. We are novice campers so the glamping pod was perfect for us and had everything we needed and the facilities were handy and clean.
The location was the highlight. We used the communal fire pit and enjoyed a dip in Loch Awe in the morning. There was a dog friendly café less than a 5 minute walk away where we got coffees.
We also managed to see more of Scotland and used the pod as a base to visit Oban and surrounding areas. We would have stayed longer if we could. The dog especially had a great time. We would definitely visit again.

Pod - Camping Pods (Sleep Two)Apr 2024
I visited with my wife and dog for 2 nights.
The setting is fantastic we had pod 1 amazing view over lochawe and the hills also faces the sun rise.
Inside the pod we had 2 single beds we pushed together, a fridge and kettle.
The restaurant and shop were both shut when we visited mid April its a 50 minute drive into Oban so be prepared for that each way.
The toilets/ showers are clean and easy accessible only 15 meters away.
Is only 2 so not sure if you would have to wait a turn during the busy period when all the pods are full.
I would recommend the pods and will visit again.
