North Ledaig, Connel, Oban is a good site right next to the beach. Caravan club site, but non-members welcome! We stayed there for a couple of nights in early september last year in the motorhome. A few sibs & ribs parked up next to the beach. Easy launch too. Good facilities!

If you're heading to Skye then I can recommend the camp site in Dunvegan - Kinloch Campsite, a beautiful campsite by the side of Loch Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye. Wide open, excellent facilities, friendly, stunning views down the loch. Good choice of sheltered slipways at Loch Pooltiel, Stein and Struan - all within 20-30 minutes drive.

From there we moved up to Arisaig staying at Sunnyside Croft campsite, this was one of the best equipped sites we've ever used. We SIB'd on Loch Morar, which was a magical experience.

From Airsaig we headed to Oban to catch the ferry to Tiree. We had a great meal at the Waterfront Fishouse Restaurant. We camped overnight in a town centre car park before catching the very early ferry.

A arrival on Tiree we headed to the beach Click image for larger version

The eagle eyed will spot this is a different SIB we borrowed from our friends, saved pumping ours up, we used our engine. The 15 is fine on our Aerotec, but felt under powered on this Zodiac with speed tubes. This was at Gott Bay
