Cologin Campervans – our very own AIRE
We’re keen to maximise opportunities and move with the times and post-pandemic we’ve seen a big increase in the number of campervans and motorhomes visiting our site at Cologin. Whilst we’ve always been happy to welcome self-contained motorhomes the limited parking for the Barn Bar was really not the best place for them.
This season we’ve used the area at the entrance to the site that had previously been levelled for Katie’s wedding marquee and with an AIRE certification from CAMpRA this new parking ground is ready for use. We’ve added the Cologin Aire to our booking system so you can pay online or in cash on arrival.
There are a few conditions associated with being a designated AIRE. First off, AIRES are not campsites. There should be no external equipment, no BBQs, chairs and tables, windbreaks or awnings. We don’t offer waste or water facilities and visitors must have a self-contained motorhome, ie with their own on-board toilet. Stays are restricted to 48 hours maximum and we operate a first come first served system. Please feel free to Whatsapp Katie if you want to check availability before heading out to Cologin. One night stays are welcomed and as we have plenty of rubbish bins as Cologin, visitors are welcome to bag up and leave their rubbish in our large commercial bins.
Our insurance cover restricts us to just 4 motorhomes/campervans at any one time and we have space for vehicles of not more than 7.5m in length. Entrance to the AIRE is from the main car park – please do not attempt to turn into the AIRE from the main drive.
If the AIRE is well used we will look at adding waste and water facilities over the winter period. We hope it will help visitors to Oban find somewhere safe to stay overnight. Of course, we hope they will also pop into the Barn Bar and enjoy good food and drink and support the local economy. Call Katie to book or book online via our website.
The per night charge is £10 per pitch and if you’ve not booked and paid online then please settle up with Katie on arrival – give her a call on 07468410343 on arrival.
