Tell us about your park

Located south of Inveraray, Scotland, our 50-acre park is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year and holds the distinction of being one of Scotland's longest-standing licensed parks. With its prime location, our park offers spectacular views of the picturesque Loch Fyne.

With 220 private holiday home pitches, 35 touring/motorhome pitches, and 11 seasonal touring pitches to choose from, you can staycation in your own way. We take pride in providing a range of facilities to enhance your stay including children's play parks, a spacious indoor play area with a snooker table, a badminton court, and an onsite laundrette.

Indulge in a delightful dining experience at our onsite bistro, which features a covered beer garden which allows you to enjoy the outdoors regardless of the weather.

Our park also has a rich history and once served as a covert D-Day training camp for the Combined Operations during World War Two. On Remembrance Day, we honour this heritage with a brief ceremony in our memorial area, which is lovingly maintained by the local British Legion Scotland. 

It's worth also mentioning that our park has been a cherished holiday home destination for four generations of families, and we are proud to have an owner who has resided here for an impressive 60 years!

What entertainment, amenities and facilities are on your park that make yours stand out from the rest?

Our Scotland location offers stunning views and plenty of hiking trails, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. We have an onsite slipway for launching boats and jet skis, while swimmers can enjoy the water sports in our serene surroundings. 

During your stay, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of our resident family of seals, along with a wide range of birds, deer, red squirrels, otters, and porpoises. As a dog-friendly park, your furry friend can also enjoy our surroundings and roam freely across various areas of the park.

What made you choose Victory homes for your park?

We’ve enjoyed a longstanding partnership with Victory since their inception, and our rental caravans have exclusively been Victory models for quite some time. We even have a special area of our park called "Victory Square” where we showcase some of our favourite homes.

Victory has proven to the perfect partner, consistently providing an excellent service to smaller parks like ours. Their commitment to us has remained unwavering throughout the years and we are delighted to showcase Victory lodges and holiday homes on some of our remarkable shorefront pitches.
