Dump Stations In Argyll And Bute, UK

RVingLife currently lists {{stationCount}} dump stations in the Argyll and Bute area. The region's remote geography means facilities are spread out, and we're working to expand coverage. Many Caravan parks along the coast and near Oban offer waste disposal as part of their services.

The A83 through Rest and Be Thankful is a significant climb but manageable for motorhomes. The bigger concern is landslip closures -- the hillside above the road has been unstable, and temporary diversions via the Old Military Road are sometimes in effect. Check Traffic Scotland before departing. The alternative A85 via Crianlarich to Oban avoids this issue entirely.

Yes, CalMac accepts motorhomes on all their vehicle ferry routes. You must book in advance, especially for summer crossings to Mull, Islay, and Bute. Vehicle pricing is based on length, so measure your rig accurately. Arrive at the terminal at least 30 minutes before sailing. The Hopscotch ticket offers savings if you're visiting multiple islands.

From mid-May to September, Highland midges can be ferocious in Argyll, particularly in still, humid conditions near water. They're worst at dawn and dusk. Bring Smidge or Avon Skin So Soft (locals swear by it), and consider a midge head net. Wind and direct sunlight keep them at bay, so exposed coastal spots tend to be midge-free.

Fuel stations are widely spaced on the Kintyre peninsula and in the more remote areas around Loch Awe and Loch Fyne. Oban, Lochgilphead, Campbeltown, and Inveraray all have fuel, but fill up whenever you can. Island fuel prices are notably higher -- expect to pay a premium on Mull and Islay compared to the mainland.

The A816 from Oban to Lochgilphead is stunning, passing ancient cairns at Kilmartin Glen and views over the Sound of Jura. The B8024 around the Knapdale peninsula is quieter and beautiful. On Kintyre, the road from Tarbert to Campbeltown runs through wild, empty landscape. Just watch out for single-track sections and go at a pace that lets you enjoy the scenery.
