Tarbert

Motorhome Stopovers in Tarbert

Tarbert sits at the head of East Loch Tarbert in Argyll and Bute, on the narrow neck of land connecting Kintyre to the rest of the Scottish mainland. The A83 runs through here — the main route down the Kintyre Peninsula from Inveraray and Loch Lomond — making it a natural stopping point for motorhomers heading to or from Campbeltown and the southern tip of Kintyre. It’s a working fishing village with a sheltered harbour, a ruined castle above the bay, and CalMac ferry links to Portavadie across the loch.
