Motorhome Stopovers in Connel

Connel is a small village in Argyll and Bute, positioned at the mouth of Loch Etive where it meets the Firth of Lorn — a few miles north of Oban on the A85. The Falls of Lora, a tidal rapid beneath the Connel Bridge, are a well-known local feature. It's a strong stopping point for motorhomers — close enough to Oban for services and ferry access, but quieter and easier for a large vehicle to navigate than the town itself.

Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified stopovers in and around Connel — a practical alternative to Oban for overnight stops, and a useful base for those heading east along the A85 towards Glen Orchy or north towards Glencoe and the A82.
