There's not much to do in Muasdale
on a Saturday night, or at any other time for that matter, and
that is the simple beauty of caravanning in this part of the
world. This well kept site, backs onto a beautiful white sand
beach, with views over to Gigha, Islay and the Paps of Jura, and
if the weather is right, stunning sunsets. If your idea of
heaven is kicking back in tranquil peace and quiet surrounded by
magnificent countryside and stunning wildlife, making your own
entertainment round a beach campfire, this site is definitely
for you.
The facilities, while basic, are both more than adequate and
spotless, with unlimited hot water in the showers, a laundry,
games room and well stocked information desk. Two minutes down
the road there is a well stocked shop in the village, stocking
all your basic food and drink needs, but alas no pub within
walking distance. There are however, regular buses to Tarbert
and Campbeltown, where there are plenty of pubs, as well as the
other amenities you would expect from small towns.
The beach itself seems to be almost non-tidal, and the waters
are surprisingly calm, due the shelter afforded by the islands
opposite, which also provide an effective natural windbreak
meaning your awning shouldn’t blow away. If the weather
isn’t so good, there are still hours of entertainment looking
out over the beach from the comfort of your caravan spotting the
wildlife along the shore line.
While the site and the village may be quiet, there is plenty to
do in the surrounding area, including ferries to the islands and
their whiskies close by, as well as walks for walkers of all
levels. Owners Adrian and Alison, are both friendly and
approachable, and keep well stocked files of local attractions
in the office should the tranquility become too much for you.

Just like you to know what a great
time we had at your holiday park. We had a really relaxing
week and the weather was beautiful, the caravan was great and
the site was spot on. We will never forget those sunsets.

Just wanted to say thanks for another very nice holiday at Muasdale. It
couldn't have been better. Bairns and adults alike enjoyed the whole thing -
even the storm! Hope to see you again soon.
Best wishes for a very successful season - you deserve it.

We'd just like to thank you and your
campsite for a fantastic long weekend. We had a great time and
didn't appreciate just how beautiful the site is until we
actually stayed there ourselves. We can't praise it and your
running of it highly enough. I'm sure I even noticed a
contented smile from Angus, our dog, while we were watching
that gorgeous sunset on Friday night :)
So, thanks once again and we hope to see you again soon.

Just returned from a 4 day
break at the camp site. Muasdale is the most beautiful,
peaceful place and A&A were absolutely brilliant, thanks
again for savings us from the strong winds and be assured we
will be back next year for our third visit. We loved the
beach, the beach fire at night, the sunset and the slow pace
of life.

Wow.... when we walked into the
Apartment I thought we were in the Lounge of the Dorchester,
what a spacious room. A lovely Apartment to come home to
at the end of the day and extremely well equipped. We
enjoyed our stay immensely, thank you so much.

We booked as a "last

fantastic and well run. Local shop has everything you
need. One of the best holidays we've had. The view
is stunning. We will be back for sure.

We would like to thank you for the
mention on your blog and the photograph - we are missing the
view and the peace and tranquility of life in Muasdale now we
are back to our hectic unforgiving schedules.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in
Muasdale and found your caravan site and welcome just what the
doctor ordered. We also want to thank you for
making us our family and friends feel so welcome over the
fortnight our van was with you. We not only miss
the stunning views but our little chats as well.
Without a doubt we will be back!
Until then we wish you both a prosperous and healthy season.

It's been a brilliant week, enjoyed
every minutes of it, your location is the best on West Kintyre,
ideal for the children, lovely safe beach, bay protected by reef
and Islay. Absolutely brilliant. Will be back.

Many thanks for the welcome.
Everything was just right. The apartment is spacious but
cosy and it is lovely dining with a view of the sea. The
weather was windy and cold outside, but we were really
comfortable here. Love that big sofa too !! We
appreciate everything and had a great time here, Bless you
! Happy New Year from the R Family.
