Campervan practical note

Designated visitor parking makes this a relatively straightforward campervan stop, but the main car park is about 200m from the castle.

Local support & visitor value

Provides a strong heritage stop north of Oban and can be combined with Dunbeg, Ganavan and nearby local businesses.

Parking notes

Visitor parking is available at the end of the castle road. The main car park is about 200m from the castle; limited-mobility parking is closer, and coach parking is also listed.

Responsible travel

Use designated visitor parking and follow site access guidance. The chapel approach uses a rough path that can be steep or boggy.

Please use designated parking, avoid blocking roads or passing places, respect local communities, and check current conditions before travelling.
