Near beach

Opened in 2022 by the Isle of Gigha Heritage Trust, this small site sits next to Ardminish Bay, right by the ferry slip, so you can leave the car on the mainland and walk or cycle round the island. The tent field has 17 grass pitches with no vehicle access, separated by bracken and long grass, and wheelbarrows are provided for your kit. Ten van bays with hardstanding and grass alongside all include electric hook-up.

The facilities block has five showers, five toilets, an accessible room and a covered washing-up area with a line for small items. A campers' hut has a kettle, toaster, microwave, fridges and freezer, and reception lends equipment, fire pits for the beach and board games and sells camping basics. There is a communal fire pit with logs on sale, plus a pay-as-you-go EV charger. Caravans and trailer tents are not allowed on Gigha.
