Destination: Argyll & Oban
A west-coast trip built around archaeology, Loch Fyne and an Oban harbour lunch.Good for: Food, history and coast in one mainland trip; no ferry booking needed unless you extend to an island.The compromise: The A83 can be disrupted at the Rest and Be Thankful, and a coastal detour makes a ferry connection less forgiving.Roseview has closed, so older overnight recommendations need replacing. Check the A83 before choosing your approach. Add a mainland night before handback if the trip includes a Mull ferry.Read the full Argyll & Oban campervan guide
4-day Argyll & Oban coast
Follow the A83 from Inveraray into Kilmartin’s ancient landscape, then finish with Oban’s harbour food. This mainland trip puts archaeology and small-town stops ahead of ferry logistics.
5-day Mull & Iona slow tour
Mull’s harbour towns, Calgary Bay and a passenger-ferry visit to Iona make an island trip with real time outdoors. Five hire days need careful ferry planning; an extra night makes the south-Mull leg easier.
6-day Kintyre & Argyll coast
Tarbert’s harbour, Campbeltown and Machrihanish’s beach reward the drive down Kintyre. Give the peninsula proper time, then work north for your final Inveraray night.
8-day west coast & Skye
Combine Argyll’s sea lochs with Glencoe, Glenfinnan and Skye. The extra mainland stages give the west coast more space, while the last island day still needs a planned return transfer.
12-day Grand Scotland loop
A broad Scottish sampler taking in the west coast, Skye, Wester Ross and the Cairngorms. Use the daily choices to keep one worthwhile outing in focus, with a practical Perthshire finish.
5-day Scotland campervan route: west coast
A mainland loop through Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Glenfinnan and Oban. Five hire days suit one main outing a day, with the final night closer to Renfrew.
7-day Scotland campervan route: west coast and Skye
A week-long version of the west-coast journey, with the route shortened by going straight from Loch Lomond to Oban. Book the Mallaig ferry and leave Skye before the final return morning.
