More about Cot House Caravan Park

A practical Cowal baseCot House Caravan Park is a small caravan park and campsite on the Cowal Peninsula near Kilmun,…

Cot House Caravan Park is a small caravan park and campsite on the Cowal Peninsula near Kilmun, about five miles from Dunoon. It combines static-caravan accommodation with a touring area for caravans, motorhomes and tents, backed by wooded hills. I'd use it as a low-key base for exploring Cowal or as a sensible overnight stop, not as a place to spend your sightseeing time.

What makes it usefulThe touring side has electric hookups, hardstanding pitches, toilets, hot showers and laundry.

The touring side has electric hookups, hardstanding pitches, toilets, hot showers and laundry. The filling-station shop beside the entrance is a real convenience for basics and fuel; visitors specifically mention its range and prices. Dunoon and the Holy Loch are close enough for eating, ferries and shore trips, but this is a practical campsite rather than an on-site attraction.

Know the trade-offThe park runs year-round, with seasonal touring pitches.

The park runs year-round, with seasonal touring pitches. The road and filling station sit alongside the site, so daytime traffic and forecourt noise can be noticeable; the touring area is functional rather than polished. The clean facilities, helpful management and easy access are the reason to choose it. Book it for convenience and a quiet Cowal base, not for a secluded wilderness stay.
