Shieling Holidays, located in Craignure on the Isle of Mull, offers exceptional camping and glamping facilities in a breathtaking setting. With panoramic views of the sea, mountains, the Sound of Mull, and Loch Linnhe, the site provides a stunning backdrop for a memorable holiday in Argyll.
Camping
The campsite is situated along a picturesque shoreline with views extending up Loch Linnhe to Ben Nevis. Welcoming caravans, campervans, and tents, the family-friendly site is also dog-friendly with prior arrangement. Dogs can enjoy walks along the coastline or nearby forestry trails. The lower park houses reception, main facilities, and hard-standing pitches with optional hook-ups, while the top field offers expansive views, astroturf tent pitches, and Shieling Tents. Astroturf pitches ensure tents stay dry and mud-free, with pegs and mallets provided if needed. For a tranquil environment, cars are restricted on the top field, but drop-off points and nearby parking are available. Facilities include showers, dishwashing areas, waste disposal, and drying tents, ensuring a comfortable camping experience.
Shieling Tents
The unique Camping Shieling Tents combine the charm of camping with the convenience of a basic cottage. Each tent features en-suite facilities, a basic camping kitchen for indoor cooking, and a smokeless fuel stove for warmth (fuel available at reception). Bright, spacious, and fireproof, the Shieling Tents are inspired by traditional Highland shepherds’ dwellings. Guests enjoy modern conveniences such as electric lighting, device charging sockets, and provided bedding, including duvets, pillows, and wool blankets. Electric blankets are available for hire (£2.50 per night if booked in advance). While uninsulated, these tents are ideal for an authentic outdoor experience—warm clothing is recommended for cooler weather.
Glamping Chalets
Shieling Holidays’ Glamping Chalets are perched in the elevated top field, offering spectacular panoramic views of the sea, Sound of Mull, Oban, and Ben Nevis on clear days. Externally resembling canvas tents, these fully insulated, solid-built chalets are equipped like holiday cottages. Each chalet features a double bedroom, twin bedroom, and two occasional sofa beds, accommodating up to six guests. Amenities include a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, gas central heating, free WiFi, and digital TV. Bedding and towels are provided, ensuring a cozy and convenient stay.
Additional Accommodation
Two self-catering cottages are also available for guests seeking a more traditional holiday experience. Details can be found on the Shieling Holidays website.
Local Amenities
The campsite is within walking distance of a local pub and just a mile from a hotel offering occasional entertainment and pool access for an additional charge. The Craignure ferry port is conveniently located only 400 yards away.
With a blend of natural beauty, comfortable accommodations, and easy access to local attractions, Shieling Holidays provides an unforgettable escape to the Isle of Mull.
