In Scotland, wild camping is generally allowed under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, which permits responsible wild camping in most unenclosed areas. However, it is important to follow the guidelines and respect the environment and local landowners. When wild camping, make sure to camp at least 100 meters away from roads and buildings, leave no trace, and avoid staying in the same spot for more than two nights. Keep in mind that specific rules and restrictions may apply in Oban and nearby areas, so it's always a good idea to check for local rules and regulations before setting up camp.

Hipcamp has the perfect pitch to match your camping style.
