About Oban Holiday Park

Set within the beautiful area of Gallanchmore, this family friendly site enjoys great views of the Island of Kerrera. Only ten minutes from the seaside town of Oban, the site also acts as an ideal base for boat trips to the nearby islands. For tents and campervans, there are a total of 70 non electric grass pitches, each allowing up to six guests. There are also 50 electric grass pitches onsite, suitable for tents and campervans, caravans, motorhomes and RVs. Each of these comes with a 16 amp hook up and allows a maximum of eight people. If you would rather travel light, the park also offers a range of pods and lodges, some with private hot tubs! Evenings can also be spent in the open, cooking up something on the BBQ or gas stove, or gathered around the fire pit. Four-legged friends are also well-catered for with an onsite dog walk. Up to two dogs are welcome per pitch. There is access to spring water, but this will need to be boiled before drinking.

Electric pitches are available year round, non electric pitches are available from March to October.

Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesNov 2024

The park was fine as long as you don't want to do anything apart from chilling out. It's too far to walk in to Oban and we felt it was a bit of a free for all when parking your motorhome, as there were no individual hard standing pitches and the grass was extremely wet.

Great site

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesNov 2024

A lovely, peaceful and tranquil site with great views. The toilet facilities were clean and cosy. It was easy to walk into Oban in just under an hour. The staff were friendly and helpful. The road to the site is single track with lots of passing places. I would recommend the site.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesOct 2024

A single track road to the site, would have been scary in a bigger van. There were a lot of parked cars and I couldn't see many pull in spots. The toilets were quite a way from pitch. Some of the grass areas looked as if a few vans had got stuck/ ruts. Not a big area of hard standing, this was where quite a few vans (and mine) had huddled as it was a very windy night! There were Highland cows behind the site. It was handy for the ferry at 7 am, the staff at the reception were friendly and helpful.
