About Port nan Gael Campsite
Located on the scenic Isle of Mull, guests can enjoy family and dog friendly touring and camping surrounded by stunning countryside. Within an easy 30 minute drive of the Craignure ferry terminal and situated on the shores of Loch Scridain, it makes the ideal spot for soaking up the stunning Scottish landscapes. For walkers or cyclists, the site offers four non electric grass tent pitches with no space for vehicles. Though, a further 20 grass tent pitches can also accommodate those with vehicles. If bringing your trailer tent, campervan, caravan or motorhome, you will simply need to choose between non electric and 16 amp electric grass pitches. All of the pitches allow up to five guests, measuring 6m x 6m. There is a drive in and park system for check-in so to accommodate the ferry timetables and allow you a peaceful and seamless arrival/departure. There are also a further 20 grass and gravel pitches for tourers too. Explore other nearby islands, such as the Abbey and beaches of Iona, or the volcanic rock columns on Staffa, before enjoying dinner at the pub just next door. Two dogs are allowed per pitch, and they'll love the nearby walks. Campfires are not allowed, however, BBQs are welcome.
Port nan Gael Campsite is open from 01/03 to 30/10.
Facilities onsite include toilets and hot showers just a short walk from each pitch and the loch! There are also designated accessible features, like a wet room, step-free access and grab rails. There is also a changing table with a baby bath.
There is an outdoor washing up point with two large sinks in a sheltered area, as well as multiple water taps and WiFi.
The Inn at Port nan Gael is a pub in the hotel next door, with great evening food with a private path for campers to get easy access! For food shopping, the closest shop is a Spar which is a 20 minute drive away.
