Ledaig - lovely site

Stayed here for 9 nights and a returning visitor from last year. Its set on a large open area with a disused railway line running through it and views of the bay and Mull in the distance and great sunsets if your lucky with the weather.

The check in staff are really helpful and knowledgable, pitches are large and there is plenty of space around, the only thing we would like is to select your own pitch, but these are allocated, someting to consider, but we had a lovely pitch. There is only 1 toilet block here located in the middle, facilities are excellent with large shower cubicles and were immaculate.

The only issue for us are the dishwashing taps and you have to keep pressing the tap.. every 10 seconds...come on Ledaig everyone complains about them so please change them to something easier to use.

There is a bus-stop right outside the site so really easy to get to and from Oban running every hour and its about £4 return fare. There is an Aldi, Lidl and Tesco all near the bus terminal so you can restock. We took many walks along the railways track, favourite into benderloch and frequent visitors to the cafe who serve fantastic scones. Theres also a pink supermarket who sold the best galloway salted caramel ice cream, there is also a garage in the village.

We also walked into Tralee for fish and chips, very nice too.and a nice walk back along the beach. There is a national cycling path and we took many trips along it to the wildlife sanctuary, left out of the site which aslo has a nice cafe, or a trip on the loop into Tralee, take a trip to Appin in the car if you have time, its really lovely with a pub at the end, highly recommended.

We also tried the pub just past the airport overlooking the river at North Connell, food was nice but we thought the drinks were rather expensive @£3.40 for a lime and soda. You cant buy the weather so this year was one of the wettest but it didnt stop the enjoyment of this lovely quiet place.

Wonderful!

My wife and I Just returned from 2 weeks at this wonderful site. I can only praise all the staff for being so friendly, helpful making our stay so memorable. The site is a credit to all concerned and is in the most wonderful location. We did book early and maybe that is why we were fortunate enough to have a pitch close to most facilities however we would have been happy anywhere on this site simply because of its location, great facilities and wonderful staff. I am still trying to understand a couple of the latest reviews ie adults cannot be trusted to find their pitch! Rules rules rules! Beyond comprehension for me. We cannot wait to go back

Good but not Caravan Club standard

We have been to this site many times because of its beautiful location. However, the site lacks the efficiency of other Caravan and Motorhome Club sites. To book a pitch you have to phone the site and pay a £10 deposit. The allocation on site is time consuming because one of the wardens has to escort you to your pitch. If you are unlucky, your pitch is half a mile away from a toilet block. The main toilet block is new but has some design flaws. For example, the ventilation is so poor that it gets foggy even when only a couple of showers are in use. The showers are spacious and use electronic on/off and red/blue temperature controls. There is a well-stocked shop. TV reception is good. The site has no WiFi which is more or less essential these days.

A little bit like being back in school!

Overall a lovely site with spectacular views ...... but there are several issues that need addressing to make this a perfect holiday spot. Firstly as adults why are we not trusted to find our pitch with the aid of the comprehensive map provided? If pitches were actually numbered this would save the interminable wait after booking in, to be escorted to your pitch. If guidance was required this could be requested. Secondly, there is no choice over pitches. You get what you are given. Be warned some pitches are a very long way from the loo block. Thirdly. Why are we charged an admin fee of £1 when we are already paying nearly £30 just for one night? Fourthly. Surely loo paper that is not reminiscent of school Izal tracing paper loo roll could be provided, when we are paying such a substantial amount. Perhaps some caravan club officials could camp here incognito , and see how regimented it is.

fab place

Lovely site, very very clean and immaculately kept. The garden bits are beautiful, the toilets are incredibly clean and well kept. The shop is the best I have seen on a caravan site anywhere. The wardens are lovely, all very pleasant and helpful. You have to wait to be guided to your site, which at first seems a bit unusual but makes it easier in the long run, you have your power done and get shown where everything is and it all works to make everything run very smoothly. All in all a fab site would love to come again when we are next in the area.

Mull Views and the sea

What a wonderful site. Beautifully clean and up-to-date facilities - Caravan Club take note - as an affiliated site it ranks head and shoulders above CC sites. The views are to die for and you can - if you book far enough in advance request a pitch as close to the sea as possible. We had a uninterrupted view of the sea, parked as close to the edge as the season would allow, due to the winds, but there was no one in front of us. The pitches, at this time of the year, are all hard standing and there are some fully serviced ones but they are further away from the front. There are 3 sets of wardens on site and they are most welcoming and helpful. There is a fully stocked shop with all the basics you need plus a post box, daily papers and fresh bread. This is an excellent site which at the beginning of the season was freshly painted and very clean - only downside is that the showers in the ladies in toilet block 2 could also so with being upgraded to the same newer versions as in the toilet block 1 but that is the ONLY grip I can find. The site was well run and over Easter they had activities for the children which families seemed to support very well. Well done all concerned a very enjoyable 7 days spent with you.

Travellers site overflow

We stayed here over the new year and overall the site was great. One of the best locations overlooking the sea with Mull in the background. The site is run on a trust basis out of season with a code given for the toilet block. We were there 4 days but the block was never cleaned, only had emergency lighting and ran out of paper but the water was hot and the showers some of the best we have used. There are 2 blocks on site but one was not open but it seemed some people on site were on seasonal pitches and seemed to have access to the second block... A lot of vans with white vans as tow vehicles so not sure if the travelers site next door uses it as an overflow? Must be a great site when the weather is warm and you can sit out enjoying the sunset.

Rules, Rules, Rules !

October 2016 - At the end of a long drive myself and a fellow motorvanner arrived at North Ledaig CC Site. On arrival it was apparent that this is a franchised site and slightly different from 'normal' CC setups. The reception staff were lovely and gave us a map and allowed us both to drive around the rather large site to find our perfect pitch. The site is split into 4 large areas, one of which is exclusively for CC members. All pitches face the sea loch and mountains beyond and are in very good order, levelling blocks are generally required though. Water and waste water points are in abundance, as are bins. Toilet emptying is at the main toilet areas which in some cases is too far to carry a cassette. I noticed many people driving cars with their cassettes to empty them, not ideal on such a large site. Having found our pitches, my wife stayed with the dogs whilst we went to book in. Booking-in was straightforward and I saw that the shop was quite well stocked with basics, just in case you run short of supplies. Booking-in complete, we were told to wait for the warden to take us to our pitch, which is normally allocated by staff. After waiting a while for the warden and as I knew where my pitch was I left our friends to wait and headed down there to where my wife was waiting (on a pretty cool October day) and waited for the warden and my co-vanner to arrive. And that, I'm afraid to say, is where it all went wrong..... The 'warden' arrived in his warden car, gesticulating wildly through the windscreen at me. I wasn't on the pitch yet and was rather taken aback at this action, I presumed a lighthearted comment was to follow...! Instead, this rather angry man chose to vent his spleen at me for transgressing a serious Rule that could get him into serious trouble, namely not waiting to be escorted to the pitch (I had just spent 20 minutes driving around unescorted so Health & Safety or Site Security was clearly not the issue) Unwilling to accept that returning to collect my now cold wife was a valid excuse (as he would have left his wife in the cold if rules dictated it! (his words!!)) I asked for an explanation of why this rule exists, but no explanation was forthcoming. I was then given more Rules to comply with regarding parking. I was curious about some elements and asked why that was a rule - “It's the RULES”, I was told! Now, Society needs rules, Fooltball matches need rules and campsites need rules, I get that – Should the latter be enforced or encouraged? Having held a position of genuine authority for most of my life, I know that enforcement is a last resort, and enforcement whilst getting angry and upsetting paying guests leads to shirty reviews, bad-mouthing and claims for compensation! Without a doubt, this man's attitude and lack of compassion, humour or customer care led to a very disgruntled and upset customer, and a shirty review! Whilst on the subject of rules, can I just point out that the Road Traffic Act has a rule about car

Magic

What an amazing place to stay.  Ideally located for exploring the west coast of Scotland and the Isle of Mull. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful and the facilities are excellent, including the shop which is very well stocked with general provisions. However, it is the outlook that takes the breath away, especially the sunsets, with views out to the inner Hebrides and Mull in particular.  Easy access to the beach, sea birds and waders, together with sightings of the various CalMac ferries sailing in the distance and come night fall the distant winking of lighthouses and a sky full of stars. Sounds perfect?  Well yes, it really is a wonderful place to stay.  However, when the wind blows, it really blows! And when it rains it really rains - but that's Scottish weather on the north west coast and hardly the fault of the campsite! We stayed in late September and it was magical.  We'd most certainly visit again but might think twice about erecting our awning. From the south of England it's a long way to go, this said, it's worth every mile and very hard to drag oneself away again!

Outstanding!

We love this site - it is one of the best we have visited with stunning views, despite the weather which was mixed and great pitches. Staff are really friendly, helpful and sociable. Facilities clean and so sensible having different times for cleaning the shower blocks to support ease of access for visitors. Would definitely visit again and definitely recommend!
