Anyone that can provide me with info on facilities, slipways, petrol fueling, hotels etc. at Oban , Scotland.
Had a look at www.boatlaunch.co.uk not much help there I am afraid.

Puffin Divers just down Kerrera Sound from Oban has good facilities. Slipway, and moorings- which are free to divers along with diesel and petrol refuelling.

This has good access to some of the best cruising areas in the UK

They also have on-site bungalows that a very good - sleep up to 7 for £75 per night. Book early if you want therse though as they are very popular.
( they call them waterfront accomodation on the website)

Bogi, Puffin get the thumbs up. Very professional setup, good slip with car parking for trailers etc. Camp site 100 yards along the road if you can't book into the Puffin Centre. Puffin is 2km south of Oban. The town itself has lots of hotels and B&Bs.

Hang on a moment.
We have loads of information about facilities around Oban, I only live just up the road. I've included a screen shot showing slips, marinas, chandleries etc.
Hope this helps
