 Finished off our 'round Scotland tour' in this lovely wee site. This site is in a walled garden and is so secluded and sheltered. Lovely welcome given by warden who showed us which pitches we could choose and gave us all the information we needed. The toilet block is squeaky clean with good hot showers. The site is very pretty with very well kept grass and flowers, good information room.
The surrounding area is great to explore and we did some exploring on hired electric bikes and as this area has a brilliant cycle path we felt safe cycling along.
There are some good walks just outside this site and we managed the easier 'yellow' walk which takes you past some amazing hidden water falls.
This site is quite a distance from Oban and that suited us just fine as we prefer quieter places to visit.
This site is now on our top ten sites to visit again as it is such a peaceful and relaxing place to be.

What a credit to the C&CC. Thanks to the hard work of all the wardens. They have a beautiful site and the cleanliness of the toilet block is the best I've ever seen, well done folks. Friendly wardens, the site is in great location, very quiet, everyone seemed to be enjoying the site.
There is a small shop with essential, great security with a barrier and access point, a good mix of grass or hard stances, equal number of pitches for tents and caravans, motorhomes
We thoroughly enjoyed the stay
You'll enjoy staying here.

We stopped here for 1 night on our way north and were so impressed that we made it a goal to go back on our way home. The staff are very friendly and helpful and always around when needed. The site is in a walled garden, sheltered from wind and at the edge of Sutherland's Grove, a forest with beautiful walks and cycle tracks. The area around is spectacular with some lovely drives off the beaten track.
The site is very well maintained and laid out with a large and very clean toilet/shower block in the middle. There are level hard standings around the edges and level grassed area in the middle. At reception there is a small shop selling all the essentials (including midge repellent).
The only downside was the midges but a plentiful supply of repellent and anti-itch cream stops this being a problem.
I would highly recommend this site to anyone visiting this area.

We arrived here after being upsetted by another camping in Oban. But the warden and his wife were very, very kind! They took plenty of time to talk with us. We intended to go to Oban, and due to loss of time we expected to be back very late. This was not a problem: after closing hours, the main gate was closed, but a small door was opened. It was very dark though: next time we must take a flashlight with us!
The next day we receive plenty of information about the touristic in the neighborhood.
The camping-site was nice, though there were very many midgets. The toilet blocks are closed during cleaning time, this was a little inconvenient.

We have passed this site for years while staying at a larger site in the area. It is now in our two top sites.
Wardens are so helpful and cheerful they seem to work all hours. The toilets block is one of the best we have used.
It is sheltered and quiet at least at this time of the year when the weather was good for us the birds sang and the wild flowers were spectacular. The proximity for dog walks and the cycle track is great.
The on site shop is useful for basic items nearby Benderloch has a great general store and a garage/ caravan shop which over the years we have made good use of.

The site is absolutely lovely, nestled in a walled garden close to a river (you can fall asleep to the sound of the water flowing!) and the facilities are really good too (it's nice to be able to wash dishes indoors rather than under a lean-to!).
The only downside was trying to pitch the tent. We were told to pitch in the middle of the site next to the shower block however we had an awful job trying to get the tent pegs in because the ground was SO rocky just under the surface.
The Sea Life centre down the road is worth a visit although quite expensive for what it actually is (we managed to get a £4 off voucher from the tourist information at Fort William).

Lovely. Quiet, pleasant and relaxing. The grassed areas are extremely boggy in wet weather so stick to the paths and hardstanding areas. Facilities have now been updated and are fantastic.
The walks around the forest area are great, especially for the dogs.
The information room is very helpful as are the staff. I did notice the kiddies playground and wouldn't think that any parent or child would be too impressed.
The main drawback of this site is the lack of amenities in the immediate area, ie. Shops, pubs, etc.

A quiet site, enclosed in a large walled garden. We received a warm and friendly welcome at reception and were shown to our pitch. The site is well laid out with plenty of space between each stand.
The central toilet / shower block has very recently been completely rebuilt and now offers first class facilities. Very clean and generously provided.
Immediately adjacent to the site is the Forestry Commission site of Sutherland's Grove which offers excellent forest trails and picnic areas. Dogs are very welcome.
An excellent touring site. Not many facilities for children except for the nearby forest.
'Oban' is a bit misleading. It is actually situated about 20 minutes drive from Oban on the southern shore of Loch Creran.

This is a very quiet and peaceful site (although it wasn't full when we visited). It's ideal for people with dogs as the site adjoins a forest walk(s) and they can be accessed via the camp dogwalk. There are also separate cycle trails.
There's a brand new toilet/shower block with dish-washing facilities. These were kept very clean.
We managed to pitch in a very secluded area rather than the main tent field and rock pegs were necessary here, not sure about the other areas.
There's some great walks in the area but not a lot else as Oban is some distance away.
All in all, I would recommend this site and would stay there again.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at this site and would go back.
We climbed Ben Nevis and visited the towns of Oban and Fort William and drove through Glen Coe and Glen Orchy. We toured the islands Mull and Iona and cycled on the islands Lismore and Kerrera.
We ate at the Creagan Inn near the site and the Ben Nevis Inn at the foot of the Ben - both to be recommended.
Regarding the site;
PROS
The site is very picturesque and in an ideal location for exploring the area between Oban and Fort William.
The staff were polite and knowledgeable.
The facilities are basic but adequate, we rarely queued for showers.
The site shop sells the essential items.
There are waymarked walks and cycle tracks in the neighbouring forest.
The midges and weather were no worse than average for Scotland!
CONS
There isn’t a view from the site as it is in a walled garden.
There are no local amenities.
The child play area is poor and outside the main site.
Oban is 12 miles away!
