Date of Visit: March 2026 Unit:  Static
Nights stayed: 3 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: LBBK 69 reviews from this member

 We are normally fair weather tent campers but also use wooden camping pods at either end of the season. Lochgilphead does have space for some tent campers (NB no hook up) but no camping pods. Therefore we booked one of the static caravans for 3 nights.

Booking website easy to use. Friendly welcome on arrival. Site still quiet, probably because of the bad weather. Not pretty but walking distance to the shops, including a decent sized Co-Op, the seafront and the Crinan Canal.

The static itself was almost brand new and very well equipped, including towels. Pleasantly surprised to discover good wi-fi included. Only one minor quibble: no hairdryer.

Plenty of outdoor activities in the area from historical sites to gardens to all levels of walking. However, very little indoors so bring a good book too.

Reviewer: Lindilou2013 54 reviews from this member

 Conveniently situated in the town, it's not the place for views! You are surrounded by statics, some of which appear to be permanently occupied by people who leave for work, noisily at 6am! We were also disturbed by arguments coming from one static who had some sort of health care worker leaving for work every morning.

Friendly welcome, all information needed was given. They even let us in before 1pm!

HUGE pitches. No problems with space. The flower tubs were lovely but not enough to make up for the generally 'gray' look of the site.

There are four toilets. One solo and three with a shower included. They are wet rooms effectively housed in a caravan. Not enough. There were queues in the morning. I have no doubt they are cleaned thoroughly once per day but the majority of the time I had to clean the shower area before I could use it.

Yes there are notes on the wall stating you can call for extra cleaning at any time but when you just want a shower, you don't want to wait. People are dirty at times and incapable of cleaning up after themselves. Not the fault of the site but perhaps they need checking more regularly.

Never saw Reception open.

Co-op within walking distance.

Easy to get around the local and not so local area albeit on slow roads! Kilmartin Glen just up the road. A fabulous place for those interested in ancient monuments and remains.

 This mostly caters for static vans but has pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes.

I was booked in quickly by a friendly man.

I was in pitch 2, a serviced pitch that was large and covered with nice pebbles, so not trailing in any grit or grass.

Site is easy to get to and situated at the edge of the town, within walking distance to the shops and loch side.

It was a Sunday when I arrived but there was a large Co-op opened as well a carry-out food shops.

Excellent facilities kept spotless only thing was the dishwashing facility could do with a roof.

Priced at £33 for a fully serviced pitch was ok.

 One night stopover to break a long drive in bad weather.

We have used this site numerous times and it never disappoints. We arrived with out a booking late morning, warden had checked us in and on pitch on less than 5 minutes.

Facilities remain as good as ever, site still kept immaculately.

An easy 5-10 minute stroll into town or to Coop.

One of very few campsites on this stretch but they offer a good clean site, great service and lovely location.

For sure we will use again and recommend to others.

Very clean toilets and showers,

Easy drive over grate for emptying grey waste,

All pitches on gravel with electric and water tap,

Very neat and tidy site opposite the water and an easy flat walk into the village, with a few coffee shops and Co op.

 We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Lochgilphead Caravan Park. Can only back up the 2 previous reviews.

The site is very clean & tidy. The pitches all hard standing with electric & own water supply.

I have to say that the toilets & showers are some of the best we've seen in a long time. The warden helpful and friendly without going OTT.

Really handy for the town & the Crinnan Canal towpath.

Would certainly come back when in the area again.

Date of Visit: September 2021 Unit:  Campervan
Nights stayed: 1 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Dot P 792 reviews from this member

 Our 4th visit and review of this site and there have been a number of changes since we last visited.

The main touring area was next to the road but this has now been given over to seasonals. Tidy and well kept with most vans occupied.

There is a high fence that separates this from the brand new touring area. Massive pitches on gravel, all have a tap, drain and ehu.

There is also new showers and loos at the new reception but the old block also remains in use so no shortage of loos or showers. We found this new area quieter as further away from the road.

Other than that all as was, 5minutes walk to town, a further 5 minutes to a good Coop. The Crinan Canal is worth a stop, fabulous to walk or cycle both ways and brilliant cafes at both ends.

This site is well place for Kintyre and the 'Secret Argyll Coast' over from Dunoon. It was full when we stayed and people we spoke to all loved the improvements.

 The upside; its location. Clean facilities. Dog friendly. You can walk into the town.

The downside; Static units, far too much gravel everywhere very little greenery.

Would I visit again not really.

Reviewer: Tedthebudgie 51 reviews from this member

 The site is in Lochgilphead so shops, pubs and takeaways are all accessible. There is a a good sized Coop and another small supermarket at the petrol station.

Good location for Mull of Kintyre, Crinan Canal (with cycle path) and the stone age sites of Kilmartin Glen. We'll stay again because of the location.

The site has been developed since we visited last with more statics. Still spaces for tourers obviously but seems to have lost a little bit of its appeal.

New facilities - one toilet room and three shower rooms with toilets too. Outdoor washing up facilities. All clean.
