 We visited Muasdale with a tent for a two week stay and after an 8 hour journey to get there, we pulled in and Wow! what a beautiful view! This place is definitely all about the view. I don't normally write reviews but as I always read reviews before going anywhere or buying anything I thought it's about time I started. I was concerned about the noise of the road next to the site but you really don't notice it.
The beach is beautiful and as we had wonderful weather the first week the kids were on it constantly as it's quite literally in front of your pitch. We could mostly sit back, relax and enjoy the view with the kids safely in sight.
The toilet facilities are clean and well kept, only 2 toilets and one shower in the ladies, and I assume in the mens, but it was never a problem. The only thing that let it down was the laundry facilities, we ended up going to the launderette in Campbeltown as we were there for two weeks, they definitely need to update these facilities.
The second week of our stay we had a huge storm and the wind was quite unbelievable. Our tent got quite damaged and it's a big very sturdy Outwell Vermont so just be warned if you're taking a tent. The pitches in front of the toilet block with tents were sheltered and fine but we were at the other end so got the full brunt. Even so I wouldn't have liked to be pitched in front of the toilet block as the security light and people going in and out of there would drive me crazy but that's just personal choice.
Overall the holiday we had there was the best camping holiday we have had so far, beautiful and well worth the journey. The resident seals were wonderful too! If you have kids buy some crabbing lines before you go, they'll spend hours standing on the rocks crabbing with a line and bucket.

What can we say about this site? I am loathed to give it a good review as it might entice you all to visit and make it difficult for us to get a pitch in future.
We spent 5 nights here at the start of July and despite some mixed weather we enjoyed every minute. We were greeted by Adrian who showed us to our pitch, explained the layout of the park, the facilities available and gave us some excellent information about the local area including the shop in the village where you can get almost everything.
The facilities are spotless, cleaned every day and were never busy. Only one shower in each block and despite the campsite being full we never needed to wait to use them and hot water was always available.
Some people complained that there are too many rules for the site, however these rules help ensure that this is a very clean, tidy and enjoyable place to visit.
At the reception there is loads of information leaflets about the local area and for someone in a tent the big bonus of a freezer which ensured that the freezer blocks were keeping the gin and wine cold in the coolbox and the milk fresh.
We enjoyed the daily visits from the local seals, a couple of golden eagles but we had to travel to Gigha for a glimpse of otter. We spent an excellent day walking in Gigha which was easy to visit with the ferry leaving from Tayinloan just 4 miles along the road.
The site is close to the main road with the lorries trundling past but it isn't busy all day and as someone said just focus on the sound of the sea, the wildlife oh and don't forget the absolutely stunning sunsets.

Spent two delightful and peaceful nights here, very easy to find and well worth the journey, I came via the ferries across Arran. Lovely views and did get one good sunset.
Very clean loo block with decent shower, and never busy, there were no more than 4 other units there during my brief visit.
Owners very helpful and pleasant.
Popped into the village shop once, had all I wanted, and can be reached via a very quick walk along the beach.
No not much for kids to do, result!

I really enjoyed my 5 nights at this site. We were lucky to get some good weather whilst there and enjoyed having direct access to the beach. You can walk for miles along the shore in both directions and we regularly spotted seals out on the rocks (don't forget to take your binoculars here!).
The site owners were very nice a kept themselves to themselves, although they were never far if you needed them. Only a couple of negatives, one being the washing machine didn't do it's job very well (it did look a bit old), and you couldn't walk anywhere from the site if you had a pram or small children due to it being on a busy road with no pavement. That being said you didn't need to drive far to access some nice walks.
We visited the Isle of Giha on one of the sunny days and my word it was beautiful! White sands and turquoise blue waters, wish I took my swimming costume. We met a couple who had paddled around the island and this is now on my bucket list. The hotel did some tasty food too!

Management response: Thank you Misschickabee for your review, what a shame you didn't tell us the washing machine wasn't satisfactory, I would have put your washing through our machine. We use the machines every Saturday and haven't had any trouble, it is quite possible that we had a run on them and the hot water hadn't heated up again.
Access to the local shop is possible via the beach, therefore avoiding the road. |

We had a wonderful week at this very quiet site. Firstly, it's right next to the beach - step out of the van and within a few paces the beach starts. Secondly the views - looking over to Islay and Jura, especially in the evening (we were facing west). Thirdly, the birds - if you enjoy watching birds you'll see plenty. Fourthly, the site owners were very welcoming and helpful. Toilet block exceptionally clean.
Our best day involved taking our bikes and crossing over to Gigha (by ferry). Wonderful sands, sparsely inhabited.
Saddell Bay on the east coast was worth a visit and if you're a Paul McCartney fan then you'll recognise the bay where the 70s song, Mull of Kintyre, was filmed.

This is a lovely site with the most fantastic views over the beach to Islay, Giha and Jura. The owners are very friendly and accommodating without being pushy or intrusive.
Whilst the location is superb, there is a small amount of noise from the road (whilst the main A road down knityre, it is not a huge busy road), but this is not enough to spoil the site.
The new shower block is lovely (not bit, but big enough) and we never had to queue for a shower or washing up. However, on the first morning there was no hot water.
A quick word with Adrian and all was sorted, so no real complaints from us. As stated by other reviews there is a great little shop just up the road which has all you really need.
The only down side was that as our tent is quite wide, we had to pay for a double pitch which made it a little expensive, but also gave us plenty of room.
All in all, a great site that we wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Warm welcome from both Alison and Adrian, both friendly people who are there if you need them.
Pitched up our motorhome, stunning sea/beach views. Campsite was full, showers, toilets, washing up facilities spotless and clean with plenty of hotwater.
I am not a shower person but I have to say the shower room is large, with a large shower tray and plenty of elbow room, an excellent large shower head with lots and lots of hotwater. We did not experience any queing for any of the facilities.
The site has one of the largest play areas for both children and adults - the beach! We spent many hours spotting the different wildlife, seals, oyster catchers, northern dippers, eider ducks, every type of seagull, cormorants etc it was wonderful. Not to mention the many rabbits which inhabit the area.
You could see across to the islands of Gigha and Arran and the ferryport for each is approximately 5 miles away.
Within the village is a local shop which stocks everything you can imagine. The owner and his wife were very helpful. The shop is open from 6.00am - 5.30pm.
There is a local bus to Campbeltown and Tarbert with the bus stop just outside the campsite. We found the locals that we met very friendly. Infact one local kindly gave us a lift into and back from Campbeltown.
We did not notice the traffic on the main road as we were too busy watching the activities out of our motorhome window.
All in all this site was everything we wanted and we would recommend it to our friends.

We had 2 weeks . This was the best caravan trip I have ever had
I cannot think of anything that could have made it better (apart from the dolphins making an appearance)
The site is very small and neat, the facilities were spotless and never busy.
The location is outstanding. You are about 2 metres to the beach, and the views over Gigha, Islay and Jura are stunning to say the least.
There's not really any facilities for children, apart from a couple of miles of white beach.
Muasdale is very small, no pub, but a great little shop with a friendly and talkative owner.
Kintyre is wonderful, beautiful white beaches all to yourself, Golden eagles, otters, seals.
The owners were very friendly and helpful.
The problem now is to find a site as good somewhere else?

We stayed here for one night. We'd been wanting to visit this site for a couple of years and we weren't disappointed. The weather wasn't great for our visit, but still managed to get a sunset. It was great to sit in the van and be able to see the seals lying on the reef - wonderful!
We were pitched right next to the beach and it was great to lie in bed and listen to the waves.
The facilities were spotlessly clean and Alison made us feel very welcome.
The site is right on the road and there are lorries trundling past, so not completely peaceful, but just focus on the sea, waves, seals and sunsets! Lovely!

Arrived on the Friday afternoon of the Royal Wedding. Had not booked or ever been here before. As the site was busy, Adrian let us have a look at a pitch slightly behind the other campers but still with electric hook up and stunning view of sea and islands. It was near the road but never felt obliged or pressured to take pitch.
£16 per night including hook up is truly a bargain at this site. The toilets, free showers and washing up area are nothing short of immaculate. No charge for use of fridge or freezer.
As others have said lots of information on site as about what to do, where to go etc. We also liked the wildlife board and the table tennis!
Please disregard previous reviewer's comments about rules! Asking people to keep the site clean and tidy and to make sure dogs are on leads and children accompanied in toilets have made the site what is - fantastic!
The wedding cake from Alison was a lovely touch and tasted delicious. We'll definitely be back.
