Question thats bugged me for years being a member of the caravan club - why are the club obsessed with Bunree when we have so many stunning sites up and down the country.  Just recieved our new membership cards and there on the front......again......is bunree. Great site but would be great to see some variety.

Why not run a competition each year and choose the best photo to put on the membership cards?

I'm with you on preferring North Ledaig, TG. As well as the reasons you list, the site shop is a mini market in itself and the facilities are probably better and more plentiful, plus the MHSP is easy to use.

I doubt we'll ever see North Ledaig featured on the membership cards, though, with it being an AS and not owned by CC.

I've been to The commercial site at North Ledaig many times. It's handy for Oban,  has open views of the bay from the bottom section of the site, is next to a traffic free  cycle track and has a well stocked shop. 

As it ain't a CC site it would never feature on any CC cards or literature. 

For scenery alone and convenience to the best hill walking in the UK, the CC site called Bunree beats that commercial site hands down. 

Cool

It sounds nice, and I was going to pop in when passing this summer to take a look but the scrap vehicles and the big shed between the site and the road rather put us off to the extent we just drove onward.

Its not clear from Google or Bing maps which bit is Caravan Club and which bit is the commercial site but the entrance road appears to run past that "work area" with pitches right beside it. Oddly, there is no link on the CC web site to download a site plan.

I can easity go in on my next passing - I am on that road regularily.

If I remember rightly, Nav, CC members can go anywhere. Pitches are allocated but you can express a preference. 

I think the vans at the top are wardens/staff vans. We must have visited that site at least 20 times over the years and have always been pleased with our pitches. They all enjoy the spectacular view. If I could post a pic ......
