Reviewer: VStromNeil 10 reviews from this member

 This is a nice little site, well placed in the centre of Mull and with a Spar, Post Office, coffee shop and hotel restaurant a five minute walk away.

The shower / toilet blocks and dishwash / washing machine blocks are well placed, but a bit of a walk from the far end of the site. Where I was. Plus the lit roadway does nothing to help find the footpath after dark (ask my shin how I know this!).

The lady in reception was very nice and helpful. However the pitch allocation puzzled me a bit as I was at the very far end of the tent area in company with a group of van users just the other side of the road. There were some more van users right at the other end of the site and just one other tent user in the middle. A pitch a little closer to the facilities block would have suited me better as I was not in a van with water and a toilet!

The site is well kept with nice short grass on sandy soil, but at the end of the season my pitch was looking just a little tired. Also there is rock under the sand, so tent pegs don't go in a long way by hand (foot).

On the plus side, the site is amazingly quiet, the sky was clear overnight and the stars were amazing and all the facilities are kept immaculately clean.

I would use this site again, but not in high season as I would imagine it could get a little cramped and noisy.

 Very friendly welcome from the lovely lady on reception.

Check in after 1. 30 but there is a good parking area if you have to wait.

Good hardstanding pitches, many with views over the bay. Large grass area for tents.

The weather was atrocious but the site drained very well and the facilities were kept spotlessly clean.

Good central location for visiting the sites of Mull.

 An excellent site situated in the centre of Mull, ideally placed for touring all parts of the island and with only a five minute walk into the centre of the village giving access to a shop, hotel, pub and filling station.

The site facilities were spotlessly clean whenever we visited them. It would be difficult to find a pitch without a sea view but some might be quite exposed in stormy weather - not an issue when we were there.

As a previous reviewer wrote, it would be my first choice of site if ever we were to go back to Mull.

Reviewer: Simonv 1 review from this member

 We were greeted by the warmest of welcomes and quickly checked in.

A little while later, the site manager popped around to see that we were all settled and happy with everything.

Such a friendly and relaxed atmosphere on a site that has stunning views and a wonderful walk through 100 acres of nature reserve.

We awoke to find a roe deer grazing right outside our pitch.

The facilities are spotless and in good working order.

We highly recommend this site and were sad to leave at the end of our stay.

 We’ve Just returned from five glorious days in Mull staying at the Salen Bay Campsite. We were on pitch Mor 3, my cousin and his wife were on Mor 2, they were in a motorhome we were in our Coachman. Our main reason for visiting Mull was to look up our ancestors; the MacGregor’s, the Macmaster’s and the MacFarlane’s. We managed to achieve this with visits to Iona, Bunessan, Tobermory and the Kilpatrick graveyards.

We were early on arrival, by an hour or so, but there’s ample space to park up and await sign-in. It’s quite difficult to gauge arriving spot on time when one is travelling 200 and odd miles and two ferry crossings, so we timed it not too bad.

The site is immaculate as is the shower/toilet facilities, the chemical toilet disposal is quaint, the top half of a wheelie bin sticking out of the ground near the shower block. Which leads to the fact there are no fully serviced pitches only water and electric, but the grey water disposal is relatively close to the pitches.

The scenery from the site in all directions is fantastic, but especially looking out to the Sound of Mull, we saw the Isle of Barra ferry ploughing back and forth daily.

I’ve no hesitation in recommending this camping site, if we’re ever back to Mull this is where we’ll stay.

 A lovely campsite, right on the coast with great views, and well placed for touring Mull.

Easy booking, good welcome, and excellent facilities.

It was quite busy despite the cold blustery weather, but the facilities coped well and were kept clean.

Convenient small shop nearby, and even some supplies on site.

We enjoyed our stay here, and loved Mull.

 Great little campsite. Toilets / showers & dishwashing areas were immaculate = showers are free.

There is an option to use washing machine & clothes drier but as we never used them I'm not sure of price.

Salen village is a 10 minute walk up the road with a spar shop / fuel station & hotel.

Fergus and his team do a fantastic job of keeping everyone happy and the site tidy.

I managed a swim every day on a few of the hidden beaches around the island.

Definitely be back.

 Excellent location with great views in any direction and nice to see site kept as 'natural' as possible.

A lot of work gone into the much appreciated footpaths leading from the site to the shore.

Only negative was the lack of a urinal in the gents as it did get busy at times, but I am sure there is a good reason for this and they are new and kept spotlessly clean.

Reviewer: Emilyj 1 review from this member

 We've really enjoyed our 6 nights at Salen Bay and would definitely return. Very friendly welcome and help during our stay.

Clean facilities and very helpful to have a washer, dryer and washing line available for use.

The children loved the swing and we made the most of the picnic benches for eating our evening meals with incredible views.

The location is excellent for exploring the island and there is a couple of lovely bakeries nearby and a well-stocked Spar.

The tent pitches are very close together which we didn't mind but it's useful to know if that might bother you.

Reviewer: Metalhead 48 reviews from this member

 Really nice site in a lovely location raised up to give views over the bay. This is the only campsite we stayed on for 2 nights but mainly out of convenience.

We'd got a wildlife tour booked which picked us up from outside the hotel on the main road so it was the perfect place to stay for that.

The facilities were lovely and clean with good, warm showers available. It was the busiest of all the places we stayed during our week on Mull which probably speaks volumes about its popularity.

There's a very handy Spar shop by the main road too.

Would definitely stay again if we visit Mull.
