 Family of 5 and we stayed at North Ledaig for 5 nights. This site is fantastic for scenery and fresh air. There is a good play park for the kids and the staff are friendly.
Although this is a private site managed by the Caravan Club, it does not operate to the same high standards. In particular, the toilets required more frequent cleaning.
The shop / reception is situated at the site entrance and is extremely well stocked but unfortunately the rolls are not fresh.
Many cars turn off the main road into the car park fast. To walk from the site to the shop requires walking through the car park. There is no designated path and it is therefore dangerous to send children to the shop on their own.
Overall, this site is worth the visit but remember this is west coast Scotland and there is a high probability of rain. Also, nearby Oban is a tourist town and expensive.

We stayed on this site for 4 nights.
We arrived, reported to reception and found the reception staff to be friendly and helpful, the shop is very well stocked with a wide range of food, general goods and caravan and camping accessories at reasonable prices.
We did not have to wait long to be escorted to our pitch by a warden who was very keen to ensure we placed the caravan exactly where he wanted it. While the websites say all have views towards the sea which is correct but some are so far back the view of the sea is very limited, we were lucky enough to be second row back, from the sea, so had a good view,
we were also close to a service point but not all people were that lucky and the bin area of our service point got smellier as our stay went on, to the point that our children refused to take rubbish to the bin.
The toilet blocks were modern but not always up to the standard I would expect and have received at smaller and older sites. The toilet blocks are also a very long way from some of the pitches so much that there is a car park at the toilet blocks and some people used bicycles to get about.
The biggest disappointment of our stay though was that the site is far bigger that the mentioned 120 pitches, we counted 237 from the site plan, they call it sites 1, 2, 3 and 4 but effectively 3 of the 4 sites are all one and there are only 2 toilet blocks.
If you do not like large busy sites then this is not for you! Note if you have a small boat you wish to launch this site has a very popular slipway, though there is also a small airport at the southern end of the site so if the wind direction is not in your favour, you will have the sight of small light aircraft coming into land or takeoff over the site, though we only noticed this one afternoon of our stay and was not aware of any night use.

A beautiful setting on the edge of the loch with a shingle/rocky beach, excellent for launching boats and for other water activities. I have been before and as always, the weather will perhaps make or break the holiday but that's Scotland.
North Ledaig is a vast site with good facilities although some pitches are quite a trek from the wash blocks and chemical waste disposal points. You are escorted to a pitch and luckily we got one near to the front.
The back rows are quite near to a noisy main road. Regulars can pre book pitches which is allowed as we found to our cost. We wanted to stay a further week and to do so we had to move 4 pitches along because the one we occupied was pre booked.
But still we had a good pitch facing the Lochside. As stated in other posts, the shop is well stocked for essentials and more.
Just a few words of warning though. Staff were helpful but a little stern with a 'take it or leave it' attitude. And the site is robustly maintained with warden patrols and gardeners to the point of making campers take down guy ropes on awnings to be able to mow the grass. However the site is well maintained and looked after. The other point to make is that this is NOT a Caravan club site but a Caravan club affiliated site which means that you will get a discounted tarif of currently £2 per night (instead of the usual £4) but you will not get any return of money paid should you choose to leave early under ANY circumstances.
I enjoy this site and its environs. It is pretty and well maintained in an idylic spot and recommended but read the terms and conditions first.

Wonderful site. You are taken to your pitch by the warden who assists you with pitching your caravan. Large site but didn't have a problem with availability of the clean shower/toilet blocks. Wonderful views. Helpful staff. Rather expensive shop, but provides most of what you need. Can get a bit windy at times, so make sure you tie your awning down! Nice play area for the children. Recycling facilities on site. Would definitely go again.

A well maintained site, spacious pitches, hard stand for both van and awning and ground is hard so be prepared, luckily it was not windy so awning not really tested. All vans face sea with wonderful views, staff welcoming and helpful, and a well stocked shop reasonably priced for a site shop, escorted to site, though. This is the norm. Now. Top toilets and showers high tech and spot-on. Downside: too far to empty Thetford, waste and fresh water points only 2 on top site and site nearer sea saw peeps lugging waste, water etc. 300yds. Otherwise this must be 1 of the top sites in UK.

Not being members and turned up without booking we were made to feel very welcome by the staff. Given a great pitch right on the waters edge. The facilities are very clean and tidy and the shop is really well stocked. Did seem a bit strange that the site has a members only field and a non members field, perhaps the members of the Caravan Club think they are better and don't want to mix with the riff raff non members? Any way, really enjoyed the site and Oban is a great little town, felt like a Cornish town used to before over development.
Great site, would happily return

What a site brilliant views lots of space toilets very clean use the ones near the shop though there quieter. Everyone seemed very friendly try and get near the sea we were second row from the sea and guess what no midges they normally eat me alive.
Oban only about 5 miles away lots of shops Tesco Coop Lidl. Hope you enjoy the site like we did lovely walks by the sea also we cant wait to go back. Only problem toilet waste points at the top of the camp quite a distance had to keep going in the car.

We have been visiting this site for 20+ years and it continues to maintain it's very high standards.
The 'new' toilet block near the shop is very high spec and both blocks are always scrupulously clean This is a well maintained site but lacks a toilet block towards the airport end of the site, where new hard standings are being installed. Both toilet blocks are fairly central but many pitches are a long walk away.
The staff are always friendly and helpful, the shop is well stocked. The nearest supermarkets are in Oban 5 miles away. The bus stop is outside the site and service is good. Views from the site are magnificent and all pitches face the sea.

We have used this site a few times, as has already been said it is always tidy and well maintained the showers loos etc are top class. There is lots to do in the area careful not to just sit in the van watching the tide and the boats come and go.
It is quite a large site but spread out over three areas. The shop is excellent as is the caravan shop and the grocery /post office in Benderloch It is quite busy in the summer but great in the spring and autumn.
The staff are friendly and helpful only fault they zip round in a van not very eco friendly. Although you can recycle glass and paper.

We have just returned from two weeks at this fantastic site and we had the best holiday that we can remember. The site is privately owned but is run and maintained to Caravan Club standards.
The staff are excellent, well informed on the area and most importantly very friendly and welcoming. The toilets and showers are immaculate and the shop is well stocked with everyday items. There are also some caravan spares and toilet fluid.
This particular area of Scotland is beautiful and we were lucky enough to have two weeks of glorious weather to help us enjoy it at its best.
We have booked another two week stay in September and we can't wait to get back to the site and the area.

We came here last year and loved it so much we stayed again this year on our tour of Scotland. We were even lucky enough to get in again on the way back. We just love this site, the atmosphere, the views - whatever the weather, even though we had mostly hot sunshine!
It is great for taking out the kayak and the site is very dog friendly - so long as everyone picks up and keeps control of their dogs. Super shop and very friendly staff.
The site is quite large but never feels crowded or noisy. Its one of those sites where people stop and chat such is the relaxed feel of the site. Behind the scenes are a small group of people constantly making sure everything is up to scratch.
It's a very clean and well kept site. Cannot recommend highly enough - its one of our top sites and we really didn't want to leave!

I love this site. This was my second visit. For a lone female, it feels very safe whilst still having loads to do in the area. Cycled 10 miles around part of Loch Etive - very safe, flat road opposite the site. Return bus trip to Oban costs £3.15 - loads of ferry cruises to choose from here. Walked up the hills behind the site for an alternative view.
I don't have a single negative comment about this site - friendly staff, very clean, and the best view I've ever found: always something different to look at in the bay.
If you don't like big sites with long rows of vans, then don't come - all the more availability for the rest of us.

We visited this site for a week before Easter. We were greeted by the friendly wardens on the opening day of the season. We were lucky enough to be sited on the edge of the shore. The facilities are quite modern and scrupulously clean. There is a very well stocked shop, with newspapers, frozen foods and most things which you might need.
The views were breathtaking. There was snow on the hills when we first arrived, and by the fourth day, there was snow everywhere which just added to the splendour of the views. There were ferry boats going to and fro to the islands all day long. The nearest ferryport is Oban. There was also a small airport to the southern edge of the site. They seemed to have flying lessons from there, but they were only small aircraft and didn't make much noise.
During our stay we visited Oban, just about a quarter of an hours drive from the site. It is a fairly small harbour town, but with many supermarkets, mainly on one site and a leisure centre. Later in the week we went to Fort William, there wasn't much there and we couldn't find anywhere suitable to get lunch. We did however, see Ben Nevis in all its glory, but it seemed quite a long drive from the site.
We also went to the Isle of Mull for a day. It is advisable to book the ferry before you go, because even at this time of year, some of the sailings are fully booked. We got the 11.55 ferry, but on hindsight we should have gone earlier, as it didn't give us much time on the island.
We visited picturesque Tobermory (known as Balamory to many pre-school children as it is a daytime TV programme). It was well worth going; we had to search around for a while until we found all the buildings on the TV programme, but we managed in the end, and our souvenirs and films were much appreciated by our grandchildren. Sadly again there wasn't really much choice for eating out. The ferry did have packed lunches for sale, but if we went again, we would probably go prepared with a picnic.
We found a lovely place for meals about five minutes away from the site. If you turn right out of the site, go over the bridge and down to the first junction, turn right there and the pub is just on your right. We went there for several meals and the food was first class.
Dogs are welcome on the site, there are the usual restrictions. We always take our dog with us.. The tide didn't get up far enough to clear the mess. It is this which gives dog owners a bad name, and at some time in the future may get dogs banned from sites.
One thing which worried us on the way up to the site, was the road from Tarbet at the top end of Loch Lomond, where the road narrows and winds considerably.There were also a lot of roadworks which led to many sections of single file traffic.
Our visits to Scotland are not as frequent as they used to be, due to the midges. However we took some good advice from a friend, and went early season. Not a midge in sight!
We had a lovely holiday, if you like peace and tranquillity then this is the place for you.

Despite the great views and good facilities we didn't really warm to this site. It appears to have nearly 300 pitches and I think we realised we have a new site choice criteria - if the site is big enough to need a car park for the toilet block then it's too big for us.
Bit of a strange pitch allocation process where they tell you the pitch number you are on, give you the site map, but then you have to wait for the Warden to drive you to your pitch. Depending on how many other arrivals there are I could see this taking a while at busy times.
The staff were friendly, the shop was well stocked and there is a small outdoor shop up the road, plus Supermarkets etc in Oban. Other reviews have commented on the fact that it is a Caravan Club site, but note it is an affiliated site rather than one that is Caravan Club run.
For Motorhomers like ourselves they try to give you a level pitch near the old railway line. This does mean you are several rows back from the front but the other areas all slope quite a lot. One other Motorhome plus is that the waste facilities are very good, no heavy lids / grates to lift and there are 2 of them on the site.

Site with some of the most beautiful views I've seen. Pitched right on the water edge. Lots of loos and showers. AS caravan club site, so an area specially for caravan club members. Lots of caravans stay here all summer. Very quiet site.
Nearest supermarket Oban (5 miles) but a very well stocked shop on site selling newspapers etc every day 8.30 - 8pm in season and till 6pm off season.
Free showers. 2 shower blocks cleaned at different times during the day. Not very well lit at night, you need a torch, and a map (which you are given of the site) there are paths everywhere.
Very relaxing would definitely come again. End of October, 2 nights £29.50. Very friendly wardens who show you to your pitch.
