Argyll & Oban by campervan<\/h1>\n

Inveraray, Kilmartin, then Oban<\/h2>\n

Follow Inveraray, Kilmartin and Oban as separate stages. This gives Argyll a story beyond a coastal drive: town and loch first, prehistoric landscape next, then a working ferry harbour. The Kilmartin leg uses the A83\/A816; it is longer than going directly from Inveraray to Oban.<\/p>\n

Why choose it:<\/strong> Food, history and coast in one mainland trip; no ferry booking needed unless you extend to an island.<\/p>\n

The trade-off:<\/strong> The A83 can be disrupted at the Rest and Be Thankful, and a coastal detour makes a ferry connection less forgiving.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Renfrew \u2192 Inveraray<\/td>\nAllow 1\u00bd\u20132 hours<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Inveraray \u2192 Oban directly<\/td>\nAllow about an hour; Kilmartin is an additional leg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Allow longer for village stops, traffic and the slower local roads. These are planning estimates.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Three stages along the Argyll coast<\/h2>\n
\nLoch Fyne evening<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Explore Inveraray's harbourfront and choose the castle or town heritage for the following morning. Brambles is the town food stop. Avoid turning collection afternoon into a race all the way to Oban.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nUnderstand the glen, then follow the coast<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Start at Kilmartin Museum, then walk part of its monument trail. Sleep at Lochgilphead Caravan Park for this stage rather than commuting back to Oban.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nOban on foot<\/strong><\/summary>\n

Leave the van in suitable town parking, have lunch at Food from Argyll at the Pier and walk the waterfront. Stay at North Ledaig for the Oban stage; it is outside town, so plan dinner transport rather than assuming a walk back.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n
