Lochbuie
Camping area
Lochbuie is a real hidden gem in the southern part of the Isle of Mull. Only reached by following a one way road for over 8 miles, passing beautiful woodlands and mountain views, at the end of the road you’ll find the Old Post Office Tearoom sitting on the edge of the bay, with a camping area a little further around to the right. You can stay here by paying £5 to the Old Post Office and wake up to some of the best views on the island, in a setting that is peaceful and remote.
From the camping area, you have good access to some walks (leaflets can be found at the Old Post Office), as well as historic Moy Castle and beautiful Laggan Sands, one of my personal favourite beaches on the island. There’s no phone service here but the Old Post Office has WiFi and they leave the toilet open all night for users of the camping area.
Getting there: Lochbuie is at the end Lochbuie Road. Turn left off the main Craignure to Bunessan road, continue along this windy road until you get to the village of Lochbuie (this is not really a village, more a group of houses spread out over 1 mile). When you reach the sea and the Old Post Office, you can find the camping area around to the right and then left down a gravel driveway.
