Nice North Ledaig

Overall pleasantly surprised as was unsure about visit due to reviews. I also had asked CAMC to look into this site due to poor reviews - also on trip advisor too. Didn't see any scrap cars on entrance to site. Large site set out in rows facing sea & supposedly divided into members (site 2) & non members but we seemed to be in a row of motorhomes on site 2 with hire vehicles amongst us & a tent roof camper so I don't think that is adhered to! You're allocated a pitch on arrival & the warden drives round (not much awareness of environmental harm) to show you as pitches not numbered. Though you are given a site plan. Site clean and tidy. toilet block clean and modern. Laundry facilities better than most club sites with large efficient washing machines and tumble dryers. Well stocked shop and handy bus stop outside site. Electricity points 10 amp and just had to be careful not to overload. Pebble beach, but nice walk along the old railway line which goes through middle of site and is a national cycle trail. Was able to take camper into Oban and park OK, used carpark nearest to main road leaving Oban. We did a day trip to Mull and caught the bus into Oban and the ferry and the bus on Mull to Tobermory - quite straightforward.

Nice view , shame about the site

On arriving at North Ledaig pulling in to the car park you are met with multiple scrap cars , on the the road through to the site you pass several buildings which resemble a scrap yard , the website shows pictures of nice clean hardstanding pitches they are covered in grass and weeds , our nearest service point , the signage for clean and waste water was unreadable along with the service points being dirty , The toilet blocks never smelt fresh and clean & often toilets were with out toilet roll , soap dispensers often had no soap in them , along with multiple lights not working in one of the blocks , 1 x washer, 1xdrier and showers were all out of order. ,The electric supply tripped out regularly , often a few times a day ( this was NOT overloaded i can work out current consumption ) . We generally use CAMAC sites as they are of a good standard , i was surprised to be met with the standard of North Ledaig a scruffy run dirty down site , i would not use it again.

Great site. Great views.

Stayed here for 5 nights. 3rd time at this site over the last few years. Caravan and Motorhome Club members have access to a club members only area. Loads of space between each pitch and all have a great view overlooking the water. Request for pitch near toilet block accommodated. Facilities are good however several mornings I found a lot of the ladies toilets in a disgusting state. This was due to dirty campers. I felt sorry for the staff who had to come to clean them. There’s easy access to the pebble beach and a good walk along the old railway line that is tarmaced. A few folks reviews complained about the entry to the site. Yes, it’s not well signposted but didn’t really find it a problem that there’s some old boats etc in the forecourt They really don’t cause an issue. It’s handy for the bus stop and has an on-site shop. Easy drive to get into Oban etc. Lots of scenic areas to drive to. We would definitely return for another stay.

Lovely views

The star feature of this site is the views out to sea and the beautiful sunsets. It also has a well-stocked shop on site. As a retired couple, we found it a peaceful place to be, with plenty of places for walking and sites of historical interest. Oban is only 6 miles away, and has lots of good boat trips available. Good fish and chip shop just up the road at Tralee, where you can phone through your order. We also had a meal out at the Falls of Lora Hotel and would recommend their food. Interesting menu, with generous portions. The site itself is a bit functional - basically just a bare field if you're in the section near the sea. That meant it was pretty breezy at times while we were there, with no much chance to sit outside in really warm sunshine. The facilities are OK, but not up to the standard of a typical caravan club site, and a bit shabby-looking in places. The site should have a bigger, bolder sign on the forecourt. It's a small sign at ground level, with rather faint lettering. Easy to miss in amongst all the foliage, and if you overshoot, approaching from the south, it's quite some way until you can get turned around to have another go. Recommend driving it on Google street view beforehand.

Not a Club Site...?

It's described as an Affiliated Site - it's a very large commercial site and CAMC Members get a small price reduction. Previous reviews describe the POOR SIGNAGE, SCRAP CARS, SCRAP BOATS & SCRAP CARAVANS covered in moss at the entrance - what a MESS! The site has great views but is very exposed. It has absolutely NO WI-FI and the owners appear to be in no rush to get it. ALSO, be aware there are no security barriers - in fact security is non- existent - just drive in and out day or night!

Pros and Cons

As with previous recent reviews this site is a bit of a mixed bag The site needs better signposting as the office confirmed that vans regularly overshoot.The car park is littered with various vehicles that look as though they haven't been moved for years.Indeed the whole place looks a bit tired Whilst accepting the sheer size of the site needs an explorer to guide you to your pitch ,it is irritating to have to wait for him/ her to return a while to pick you up. POSITIVELY we were lucky to have a great pitch right by the beach.... although the JCB next to us was an interesting piece of public art ! The shop/reception staff were pleasent and the shop itself well stocked inc vino! The bus stops right outside and drops off in the centre of Oban. All in all not really up to CMHC standard but has positive points too if you want to stop in the area.

Love this place.

We have been here many times and it is still our favourite site despite very unseasonal weather in May. Waking up to the view of the loch is unbeatable. We will be back.

Great Location

We stayed at this site due to the fact that we needed to be in Oban early in the morning to catch the Ferry to Mull. It is in a wonderful location right on the side of the Loch with great views towards Mull. On arrival at the site we were a little concernd as the entrance does look a little run dowm and could realy do with some money spending on it, in fact in looked like a closed down service station. Checking in was fime and we were made very welcome and given instructions for pitching. These were that the Warden in a car would be with us shortly and would direct us to our pitch. We waited in the Motorhome for over 20 minutes for him to come. The reason for this was that there were several waiting in front of us and behind. If this site is going to continue to pitch people in this way it needs a radical change to speed things up. The area where we were waiting also needs tidying up, there were several old cars parked around most with flat tyes and looked as though they were only fit for scrap. The Late Arrival Area had 2 boats on trialers parked in there which also looked as though they had been there for some time and there were various bit and pieces parked aroun the area. It just needs a good clear up, get rid of the rubbish and give everything a new coat of paint. Our stay was great and it proved the perfct site to access Oban, the facilities were clean and we had no compalints. We would certainly return again if we were in the area.

The scenery just about saves it!

What a shame. When was the last time the C&M Club audited this site? Arriving to disgruntled staff who have forgotten what customers are, and a carpark that is akin to a vehicle scrap yard, we wondered what had we done. Couple that with instructions from the warden on how to get into the mains cabinet to reset your electricity supply and the 4 hour journey to get here, and we had just about had enough. BUT, putting on a brave face we learned that: The facilities are ok. The local transport runs like clockwork. The ferry services out of Oban are quite simply perfect. Oban itself is a nice place to stroll around. The local car hire outlet are friendly and helpful. A walk on the beach at dawn and dusk, looking out over the bay to Mull will give you the value for money you were looking for. In short, get past the entrance the first time, and never look back.

Great stay in late October

I stayed for 3 nights in the 3rd week of October. Managed to get a great pitch in the club exclusive area with great views out to sea and by the beach. I imagine in season I would need to book well in advance to get this pitch but actually I only booked a week before going. I like their approach to pitch siting: it seems based on the earlier you book the more likely you will get a perfect sea view pitch. But, it has to be said, most of the pitches will have a sea view because of the way the site is on a slope allowing good views. Great and efficient welcome. Good shop. Clean and warm shower/toilet facilities. Bus to oban right outside the main entrance. All in all, a good stay Thanks to all the staff at North Ledaig.
