 We'd seen this Site many times as we took the ferry up the Sound of Mull and always wondered what the military style rows of tents were. Now we know, they're a sort of pre-erected tent village.
The Site itself doesn't seem to operate with such precision though. Staff on location don't seem to have control of all the bookings and pitches and we had to change pitch partway through our stay. Others just took vacant spaces.
The Site itself seems to have been there for some years and is well maintained if facilities aren't brand new. On Site staff were very approachable and helpful.
Craignure isn't our favourite end of Mull. The one shop isn't great and one of the cafes had closed. Its probably good for bus connections to Iona & Tobermory though.

Wish we'd stayed longer at this lovely site! The views are great, even if like us you are not given a pitch at the seafront. There are plenty of trees, bushes and little hills to break up the site and give it an intimate feel.
The 'Shielings' in the title seem to be a number of tents of various sizes. We particularly liked the mini-sized ones which were useful to dry and air our washing when we went out, as a precaution against leaving the items out in possible rain.
The staff are friendly and helpful. The location, just nearby the small arrival jetty for the ferry from Oban, and close to a nice pub, is perfect.
There are walks you can do from the site, along the shore (lots of wildlife to see) and to 2 nearby castles. The free wifi even reached to our pitch. The location is at the start of the single track road to Fionnphort, from where you get the little ferry to Iona - a trip not to be missed!

We have not visited this site for several years, on arrival we found it had hardly changed.
When we last visited the pitches on the front could only be used overnight as the small railway to the castle used the area during the day for parking - now the pitches are used as part of the general site.
The loos / showers were clean, water got but maybe not as hot as it could be. With only 2 showers and a reasonably full site there was the odd queue. The facilities are old, could maybe do with updating and upgrading.
Staff are great, friendly, helpful and always around for questions.
The pub at Craignure is just a few minutes walk, lovely home cooked food. There is a Spar and two coffee shops also within 5-10 minutes walk.
We did find the areas around the hard-standing very muddy and boggy, but the pitches themselves are well kept each with ehu supply. There is a moho empty and full point and a chem disp as well as a few water taps across the site.
This really is a lovely site, the views over the Sound of Mull are incredible and the site is perfectly placed for visiting all the major places of interest on this amazing island.

Brilliant site with stunning views and good facilities. The staff were very helpful both on arrival and during our stay.
The communal space with wood burner was a much appreciated bonus during a very wet week.
The pub, play park and shop are all within walking distance which is also a great asset.

This beautifully positioned site enjoys views over the Sound of Mull. Although it was busy when I stayed I never had to queue to use the facilities.
There is a Campers' kitchen which has a kettle, microwave and wood burning stove. All facilities are well maintained. There is a small supermarket within a five minute walk of the site. You do need your own transport on Mull as the bus service is infrequent Remember to bring rock pegs as the pitches are astroturf.
The owners are very helpful and welcoming. Torrential rain, typical Scottish weather caused me to pack up my tent sooner than planned!

Just returned from a fabulous week here. Amazing views from the top field (no cars allowed apart from arrival and departure means it stays emptier and safer for children - all in all a good thing we felt) of the mountains on the mainland and the ferry coming in and out.
So close to the ferry port meant that we drove overnight from Wiltshire, got the 7:45am ferry and were pitched with the kettle on by 10am. You can hear the ping bongs of the ferry (and my phone kept on trying to connect to Calmac WiFi!) but not to a distracting volume.
Easy reach of most of Mull. Tobermory (the inevitable Balamory visit with a 5 year old!) Fionnphort for Iona, Ulva ferry port for Ulva and puffin tours and lots of geocaches near by if that's your thing.
Craignure stores are super helpful and have a petrol station (cheaper than Shell on the M6 on the way south!) although the stores up the road in Salen are slightly bigger, and Tobermory obviously has more.
I can't recommend this site and the whole island highly enough. Only 2 things I would change. 1 is I'd love to have camp fires at pitches, although I recognise that this would bring its own problems, and 2 I'd like to eliminate midges. ;-) Oh and their web site for some odd reason doesn't give the post code. It's PA65 6AY, although you don't really need it to find the site (left out of the ferry, left opp the church and follow round) it is helpful when ordering a birthday card to be sent to site! Am I allowed also to sing the praises of Old Post Office Lochbuie please. They delivered to site to us the most scrummy delicious food for our last night for a quarter of the price of eating out. Highly recommended.

Stayed here for 5 night's and was given a great spot at the front of the site overlooking the sea. The site is minutes from the ferry terminal and is a good base for touring the island.
The facilities are kept very clean and the showers are always hot. Staff are welcoming, helpful and friendly. Nice pub 5 mins walk and a well stocked supermarket is not much further opposite the ferry.
Would definitely recommend a visit.

What a fantastic campsite this is ! Stunning location, excellent facilities and friendly wardens. The site is situated right on the water overlooking the small ferry terminal.
There is a pub and village shop within walking distance, the toilet and shower block is rather small (2 showers & 2 cubicles in each) but was always very clean and warm.
The site also has free wifi which was very handy as there's no 3G signal on Mull.
We would definitely recommend this place.

The Isle of Mull has always been on our wish list and at last my daughter and I have eventually got there. We stayed in our camper-van at the Sheilings site.
A beautiful site with stunning views our pitch was right at the front looking onto the sea so as the sun rose and set we had first class views.
Reception staff were very friendly and helpful the toilet block and shower facilities were spotless. Constant hot water, hairdryer provided and clothes washing facilities. A unique drying system also provided for clothes.
A very central location for catching the Oban ferry and for visiting the many and varied sites on Mull. We thoroughly enjoyed out time at the Sheilings and would certainly recommend it but don't take our word for it try it for yourself.

I arrived pretty much at the last minute, having settled on a site which is midway from most places on Mull. Despite being near to the ferry terminal at Craignure it is a scenic site with plenty of choices to pitch your tent, including some within ten yards of the water.
Craignure itself has all of the basics covered with a mini mart, coffee shop, petrol station, post office and pub. Mull is mostly about the scenery with the nearest attraction being Duart Castle, which is home to the Clan MacLean and in itself worth a visit.
Staff were as friendly and helpful as you could wish for. The reception building is open 24/7 for campers to get access to local information, and they have free wifi which works around the site (my tent was fifty yards away and my reception was good enough).
Tent pitches are covered in astroturf which takes getting used to, but it does mean that each pitch is very well drained and your tent comes back pretty clean. Check your pegs are secure and guys tight, and all will be well (this was just a precaution, in four nights I had no problems).
There are multiple washrooms, with showers (free hot water), washing machines and tumble dryers (token operated), a free freezer for your cooler packs and good dishwashing facilities. In the upper field are two shielings (a kind of giant plastic tent) used for social activities and games.
And most of all is the location. I was lucky with the weather and the site being quiet in late September, but even so I can't do anything other than give this site a great rating

This is a brilliant site. Lovely facilities, good location with Ferry Terminal a few hundred yards away, pub with good beer and food, Spar shop and very helpful information centre as well. On the site Rob and Ang are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble, always on hand to help. Lovely walks around the coast with frequent visits to the adjoining waters by the otters. Having ehu's are a great asset. This is my third visit.

Recently returned from a great stay at the Shielings Holidays campsite. The location of the site is fantastic as we arrived on one of the later ferries that day, only a few hundred yards from the ferry terminal and within the hour we were pitched and sat having a brew!
The pitches are as others have mentioned gravelled areas with astro turf coverings. This has some benefits and drawbacks, whilst having a flat surface and no mud around is great getting rock pegs and mallets to make sure your tent stays up is at times difficult.
We managed to bag a good position on the site in terms of our views which allowed us to get a great view of sunsets and see the ferry docking as well as the surrounding views. We were also close enough to the range of facilities the campsite offers.
The site did not have a shop on site but just down the road is a local spar type shop which sells everything you might need or a trip to Tobermory which has more shops. The facilities on site were always very clean and tidy and the staff were always on hand and busy keeping the place clean.
We would definitely return to Mull and the Shielings campsite even if it was for the beautiful views both at sunset and sunrise!

This is a really well organised site. Ideal for a stopover off the ferry or longer if you want to just put your feet up. The wardens are really friendly and full of information for your holiday. We were told where to see the eagles, we saw them flying, which I was desperate to see. You can actually see them with decent binoculars from the pitches at the front. Facilities are great, spotlessly clean, wonderful hot showers, ( after a few nights wild camping this was wonderful). Great pub close by, good food, real fire. After leaving the pub, right outside were 3 deer crossing the road in front of us. Would definitely return to this site.

Great site with excellent views close to the ferry terminal. Probably the best site on the island. Good clean facilities and the site is well cared for too. Local pub close by for meals as well as the tourist information centre for the Island. Also there is a Spar shop by the ferry terminal but the Spar shop at Salen is better (stays open later)and there is a good Co Op in Tobermory. Would stay again when over for the Mull Car Rally. Also a good location for exploring the delightful island of Mull.

A very large site with all the facilities, including pre-errected tents, catering for the masses. Not the sort of place we would select by choice and at £16. 50 pppn expensive too. Loads of toilets, showers and washing up tents. Several tv and socialising tents and even drying tents.
It is close to the ferry port so ideal for arrival and departure. The views from the top site are spectacular and the sunrise is worth getting up for! The pitches are 'carpet' over gravel. Sturdy metal pegs are available from the reception if you run on lightweight plastic.
The local pub is friendly and does food. The Inverlussa mussel farm sells a 2kg bag for £2. 00. Wow. The local shop is expensive, better to head up to Salen.
This site has everything some campers want. Unfortunatley most of the facilities were wasted on us but you still have to pay for them!
