We stayed here for 8 nights from 10th May 2015. The site is in a perfect spot and the views are excellent. The shop is well stocked and all the staff were very helpful. You can see Mull, boats coming into Oban and plenty of wildlife. There is a dog walk on site or you can go on the beach and walk in either direction. Half of the shower block was closed for renovation but there was never a queue for a shower. Unfortunately we had a week of mostly rain and driving winds but we went out and about in the car exploring. The two goods days we spent enjoying sitting in the sun and walking up to the Connell bridge. Will visit again.
Did the Job
We used this as our first week stop for Scotland on the West Coast. In hindsight, it would have been better for the middle or end of our 3 week stint in Scotland as we paid a lot of money and didn't need to use the washing facilities. Besides that it is a large site, had 2 toilet blocks, which were kept very clean and warm throughout our stay. Walking was straight onto the shingle beach. We were on the front and had gale force winds and rain which was unfortunate, but May has been unfriendly this year. Very friendly and helpful staff in the well stocked site shop. If you want a quiet and private site, this is not for you.

Beautiful Views
We have just returned from this site having spent Spring break there. This is one of the best views I have ever had in a Caravan!. Beautiful Sunsets ( nice for time lapse photography! ), and a great view of the Isle of Mull. The only downside to being this close to the coast is the is generally always a sea breeze, if you like to sit out you'll need a wind break, likewise for the BBQ.
The facilities are clean and modern. The toilet blocks can be a hike if you are out on the extremities of the site, and toilet emptying point, so be prepared for this.... Walk if it's nice, car if it's raining.
The staff are friendly, you are allocated and escorted to your pitch by the warden vehicle. The shop is very well stocked.
Location wise, you are 15 mins from Oban with access to ferries to Mull and other isles, it's on the main road between Oban and Fort William so no nasty narrow lanes to negotiate on approach. The Sealife centre is 10 mins away and worth spending a couple of hours at, it isn't Seaworld Florida though so set your expectations accordingly.
Neighbouring Benderloch village has a lovely little Fish n Chip shop so if you don't want to go far for eats then this is convenient.
You are next to the airport... Well, airfield. This isn't much of an inconvenience as it is busiest on a weekend, first flight I heard was 8.50am, we spent a week there and saw approx 15 flights in and out.
Lastly, take your national trust card or English heritage card with you. The Scottish versions of these have a deal with them and you can free entry to castles etc.
Excellent site
Very well run site with excellent facilities and awesome views. The on site shop is incredibly well stocked and staff are very helpful.
Fantastic!
We stayed here for 8 nights on our first ever family caravan trip - and it was fantastic! We had the good fortune of some brilliant weather, but to be honest even when it wasn't so nice it's still a magical place. The sunsets are simply spectacular. Friendly staff - the chap who escorted us down to the site offered us lots of advice when he found out it was our first trip and swung by later on to ask if everything was OK. Well maintained site and clean facilities. Shop appeared to be well stocked. Kids enjoyed the play park and messing about on the beach. I loved the fact that it was pitch dark at night and kids enjoyed torchlit walks!
Fantastic location and we explored mull, Iona, kerrera and mallaig during our stay - simply stunning.
They were apparently having some electrical issues and warned of possibility of supply tripping, but it turned out not to be an issue.
We'll definitely return :-)
Wish we had come to it sooner.
We stayed on a site in Ft William and it was not worth the prcie we paid. We then left early and moved to Bunree which is nice but in desperate need of a make over. We cut short our stay there and moved onto North Ledaig and wish we had made the decision earlier.
The staff in reception were pleasant and helpful and the site was in much better condition than Bunree. Although we had a twin axle with all the mod cons we never had an issue with the electric even though the heating was on electric. If we ever visited Scotland again we would definitely come back to this site! BTW satellite reception here is excellent unlike Bunree.
Almost a victim of its own success
We have been going to North Ledaig for years - since the mid eighties. In that time we have watched the site grow...and grow...and grow. The views are stunning, the facilities spotless. The sheer size of the site now has its drawbacks. There is a greater chance of noise and disruption from other site users than there used to be, and at busy times the staff can get a bit frazzled.
There are plenty of walks nearby, plus the serene trail along the shoreline where you can drift along watching eider duck,oyster catchers, dunlin, plovers and perhaps see a golden eagle in the hills behind you.
We love it, and will always love it. So to complain too much about its size would be churlish - it's still a magical, unique place.
Perfect
First time to this site. Cannot praise it enough. Clean, well maintained with very helpful and friendly wardens. Well stocked shop. Stunning location. Can't understand the comments complaining about the obstruction of views. Pitches are staggered and the slope down to the sea means that all rows have a view out over the bay to Mull.

Disappointing!!
We have just spent a week at this site which we feel does not deserve CC status. When we booked we were informed all pitches were near toilet/shower facilities but we were pitched as far away as you could possibly get (800yds). Block 2 ladies are awful - frayed shower curtains - luke warm water - lack of toilet paper from one day to the next. They are not checked regularly - although their signage insists they do! The views are stunning - but the travellers site just along from the site is an absolute eyesore! Never again - please CC check this out!!
