 We've been visiting this site for years and it is improving all the time. We are a family of 5 and it is a great place for kids. We like the relaxed atmosphere. There are lots of places for the kids to play. Some of the staff have changed in the last couple of years and 2 grumpy blokes who worked on the site in summer 2005 seem to have gone and have been replaced by a very helpful couple who seem to be permanently running round keeping the place tidy. No litter is a big bonus.
Shop is well stocked but only open May - Sept. When we visited (April) we had to book in at the farmhouse. Prices still very reasonable, it was £12.50 per night for our family in a large tent. The grass is kept neat & tidy, nothing worse than long grass on a camping field in wet weather. Toilet & Shower blocks were clean, our only complaint being (from past experience at busy times) that the blocks are small for the size of the site.
Will definitely keep returning to Oban, this is one of our favourite sites in Scotland. Beautiful scenery, friendly owners & staff, good prices, nice town close by, shop, games room, laundry, NO BAR on the site! Peace & quiet, what more could we want.

One of the best sites I have visited. Staff are very friendly and the facilities are excellent.
There is a campers kitchen with stove for making meal preparation easier. A games room with pool table and TV for those who want to indulge. A children's playground that will keep them occupied for hours.
All on site in one of the best possible locations.

A lovely unspoilt campsite with plenty of space, great being able to chose your own pitch, very laid back site staff. Oban in a great place and this campsite is a great base for exploring the area. We will definitely be back in the future, especially as we didn't see one midge!

Everything about this place was first class. We had simply one of the best pitches overlooking the pier. The staff were excellent too. I'd highly recommend this site to anyone considering a trip to Oban. Cheap as chips and a mile to the town centre. Please steer clear of the Dive Camping Park up the road. I'm not sure I've ever been spoken to like that off a so called service provider before. Laughable but ultimately we're thankful because we ended up coming here instead.

Visited this site for 2 days initially, but ended up staying a week! We both felt that the site was really geared up for campers and we were not just stuck in a corner next to a caravan site.
The site was very spacious, clean and tidy. Very little restrictions from owners. We pitched our tent wherever we wanted and paid afterwards. The site was great for the kids too. Only a small swing park but all the children seemed to meet up there and play around together. We particularly felt at ease as we could see our 3 year old all over the main camping area.
Our only slight niggle was that the toilets and showers didn't really cope on the busy Saturday night but were adequate on all others.
We will definitely be back here, hopefully even at the end of next week!

Just returned from 4 nights at the Oban caravan and camping park. Its a beautiful scenic view from the camp site and the site itself is very relaxing. You couldn't ask for a nicer place to pitch a tent. The site is very relaxed and the owners are polite and helpful.
The shop sells the basic items needed for camping at a reasonable price. The price for a tent pitch is very reasonable at £11 per night without electric. There is a cooking room and a games room with a TV that you can watch if you like which is good to keep the youngsters happy.
The camp site is 2.5 miles out of Oban along a mostly flat winding road along the coast. We took our bikes so we could travel to Oban easily. There are cycle racks outside the tourist information office and harbour carpark to safely lock your bikes and explore the pubs and restaurants of Oban. You could walk to Oban in about 40 mins or get a Taxi which you can get the number from the shop.
The only downside to this site is that the shower and toilet blocks are not up to scratch. There are 3 blocks on the site which all need updating. They are too small and everything is packed in too tightly. 2 shower cubicles and 4 sinks and a couple of toilets are not enough for a modern day tent field on a camp site of this quality.
At least there was a power outlet for you to plug your hair straighteners/shavers in etc. Also a hair dryer for 20p + the showers were free.
Every time I visited the toilet block someone was saying how poor the blocks were and how they let down the site.
Even after experiencing the showers I would return to this camp site because of its quiet and relaxing atmosphere. It was so peaceful we wanted to stay longer but unfortunately couldn't. We will be returning soon.

Loved the site! Brilliant location - with great sea views from nearly all pitches. A great relaxed atmosphere with very friendly staff. Felt very safe - plenty of pitch room even though it was very busy.
The toilets / showers were quite basic and at times there was a small que, this was the only downside - great location, we would return.

Just returned from a 2nd visit to this site with my family. Amazing views from the tent field with very relaxed atmosphere on the site. No bossy owner telling you where exactly you must pitch, we got a ticket and were free to choose our own place in the designated area. Site set on different levels, we were just asked to pitch beyond the children's swings on a large camping field. Only complaint would be that the field is sloping. Facilities were clean. Our dog was welcome but we were asked to keep him on the lead on the site. They didn't charge extra for dogs. Price was v reasonable £10.50 for the 4 of us (one is a baby) Friendly staff. Site had improved a lot since our last visit which was 2002 when new owners had just taken over. Now looks much smarter. Will definitely visit again this summer.

I chose this site as it I was taking my young son and it had a games room (in case of bad weather), a shop on site, shower facilities etc.
I wont ever go back to this site again. The shop was shut and wont open until the end of May, this should have been mentioned on their website. The games room! 1 ripped pool table with only a broken half cue to play with, an empty drinks machine, arcade games clustered together so you couldn't play them. I was told on arrival, by a somewhat unfriendly man, that there was only one shower block open. I tried using the showers, there were 2 showers in the block but only one was working. The 'working' shower was pitiful and unless I wanted a cold shower, and it was only just above freezing outside, I was not going to get a shower at all. The second shower block opened the next day, I only found this out when I noticed another camper going into the previously locked shower block. There was only 5 tents in the whole site, surely it wouldn't have been much of an effort to inform me.
The ground is poor for pitching a tent, the pegs constantly hitting rocks and making the tent a bit unstable.
I was also charged high season prices, in April?!
The views were nice and the ducks very friendly but nothing else to recommend this camp site.

Just back from a weekend here. Very good site for pitching, good grassy areas, and very close to the shore, nice views in the morning. Also a short walk from the Kerrera ferry, which made for an excellent afternoon out.
Facilities. Not the best, I'm afraid. It was a "Dads and Sons" weekend, and we all agreed that the toilets and showers would not have passed the test had our wives been there, in definite need of refurbishment.
Similarly the camp shop. They had stopped selling milk for the season and had reduced opening hours (9-10 and 4-5). It is just me, or is the first week in September still early for reducing your service to such poor levels, there were still quite a few folk on the site.

Very disappointing. The site was clearly overcrowded (although there was space between the tents). There are quite simply not enough facilities for the size of land. Toilets and showers were always busy and consequently not very clean. Washing up facilities a similar story.
Shop fine but Oban only a short drive away where there is a big Tesco and Co-op

Lovely site with fab views! We were pitched right up the top of the camping field. looking down over the rest of the site. Got a bit busy friday/Saturday and this meant noise too but not unbearable.
Only used one of the 3 toilet blocks but it only had 2 showers which caused queues. Even then they weren't up to much. 20p for hair driers
Freezer in campers kitchen not freezing Ice packs properly which was a bit of a headache and the staff in the shop could have been a bit more friendly and accomodating. Laundry room charges 20p for hot water so take change or wash them elsewhere.
From Oban it's about 2 milesof mostly single track road with passing places to get to the site but once you are there it was pretty laid back.
Would definitely use again though.

Nice site with relaxed hosts and decent loch views. Basic games room and freezers etc. but overall clean, well kept and tidy, younger kids may get a bit bored.
In Oban itself a large Tesco and Lidl(surprisingly good stuff)are hidden to the right as you go back into Oban driving away from the harbour and away from Fort William signposts. Not itself very well signed so very expensive first few days until we asked someone. Would definitely go again

Spent two nights here and found the site excellent. Very spacious and peaceful with wonderful views - would definitely return.
Thought there was only one shower and toilet on the first level but later discovered additional facilities up on the next level. Facilities not the best I have seen but certainly quite acceptable and perfectly addequate.
About 3 miles from the centre of Oban where there are plenty of shops and places to eat.

Camped here Easter 2005. Pleasant campsite set on different levels, some hardstanding but mostly grass site set out in a none regulated way, you just pitch were you fancy. Loads of room for tenters, toilets and showers clean but a little dated. Overall nice site, good views, would go back.
