Ferry parking, early port noise
Shore Street, PA34 4NT, Oban
Been here?
This small pay-and-display car park is beside Oban’s ferry port and close to the town centre, making it useful for ferries and exploring on foot. It costs £7.50 for 24 hours and is best suited to vans around 6m; a 6.5m motorhome can fit at the far rail-side end. Trains, ferries and early-morning port activity can be noisy, but nights are generally quiet.

Great secure carpark for Puffin trip, safe and very quiet at night. 6.5m MH ok on the rail side down the far end
Very handy for the ferry and it is only a short walk into town. Bit of train and port noise but quiet overnight. £7.50 for 24 hours.
Good spot to stay. Near town centre and quiet through out the night. More catered to van 6m but a few spaces that fitted our 6.4m van
Small carpark beside Premier in, not suitable for large vans as spaces are short, really only one space suitable for 6m van on slight slope. Quiet with regards to traffic but a few people about around 3am. Had breakfast in premier inn, £10.99 they were very welcoming. £7.75 for 24hrs
Practical for the night before the ferry. £7.50 for 24 hours. You are immediately in the town and at the harbour on foot. It is relatively quiet at night. If you are lucky, you can also find free street parking nearby on Saturday evenings (during the week, on Sundays, and during the day it is also paid). At night, if you arrive late, there is enough space for the motorhome. Too crowded during the day.Translating
Perfect for visiting Oban as right in the centre. 24hr fee of £7.50. Some noise around 6am as people were getting on the ferry but to be expected as the carpark is at the ferry port! Not suitable for big campers, Vauxhall Vivaro LWB only just fit in a space at the back of the carpark!
Only for small campers, van-sized. We could not possibly stay there (7m). A better option, though more expensive, is Rockfield Car Park for large campers.Translating
no spots big enough for a 7 m motorhome
Great spot for visiting Oban / getting the ferry. Pretty quiet overnight but noisy from 7am as it’s right next to the train track / port
Parking at the harbour, a 30-second walk from the town centre, convenient for visiting Oban on foot. Paid: £7.50 for 24 hours (card payment machine). We were worried about noise, but it was actually very quiet; you can just hear the ferries a little in the morning, but really nothing too disruptive. Otherwise, there is another car park on the other side of the harbour with a better view.Translating
