Address: Barcaldine, Connel, by PA37 1SG
Operating Hours: Always open
Contact Information: 01631 720348
Price: ££
The Oban Camping and Caravanning Club Site isn’t exactly in Oban. To be precise, it’s in Barcaldine, by Connel, around 13 km (8 miles) north, just outside of the town. Hence, it’s perfect for a quiet countryside stay that’s close enough for easy day trips away from the bustle.
With its unique sheltered charm, it’s ideal for travelers eyeing a well-equipped base. I’m talking about heated showers, motorhome services, accessible units, and laundry services.
Pro Tip: Located along a small marina, the pebbled beach is worth exploring, especially for sunset watching.
Dallachulish Farm

Address: Dallachulish Farm, Barcaldine, Taynuilt PA37 1SQ
Operating Hours: Always open
Contact Information: +447881934224
Price: ££
Although Dallachulish Farm isn’t right in Oban, it’s just a quick 15 to 20-minute drive into town. This working farm makes the perfect countryside base; close enough for day trips into town or to catch ferries, yet far enough for outdoor activities like fishing in the rural countryside.
The real magic is in the sunrise and sweeping views from Loch Creran all the way to the Ballachulish Mountains and Glen Creran. Add to that, there are also walking trails, forest paths, and gardens, and you’ve got plenty of chances for relaxing strolls or wildlife spotting.
Pro Tip: Ensure to download maps, playlists, travel guides, books, and movies, as the Wi-Fi and mobile signal can get patchy at times.

Address: Glenshellach Rose View, Oban PA34 4QJ
Operating Hours: Always open
Contact Information: +44 1631 562755
Price: ££
Located just at the outskirts of Oban, a quick 15-minute drive into town, the Roseview Caravan Park is a feast for the eyes, with the lush 4-acre valley landscapes and charming terraced pitches. It honestly makes me feel tiny compared to the massive views.
The facilities are also well thought out, with a launderette, toilet and shower facilities, including a dedicated disabled access and family-friendly wet room. For downtime, you can head over to the communal BBQ area, and if you’re feeling like exploring, try the walking and cycling routes.
Pro Tip: Pack some extra layers as the temperatures in the valley can be cool, especially in the evenings.
