Just got back from Glen Nevis, myself, hubby and 2 friends. Loved the site, views are spectacular, very clean site, well laid out and the pitches are a decent size.
A very friendly site as well. Showers are a bit old but clean and hot, toilets are immaculate. Great shop on the site, a wee bit dear, but it,s handy, tesco isn't too far away. Enjoyed a lovely walk into fort william, about 2 miles.
Couldn't believe the change in fort william high street, lots of good shops, bars, and eating places. The only slight downfall was, the electricity went off for about 1 hour on the Sunday evening, just put the candles on.
Quite surprised at the price, £65 and that was for 4 adults, hook up, and it was the Easter weekend, so very good price, thought it would have been dearer. Lovely place for families.
Stayed here on Easter weekend, not as busy as I've seen it. Great site with views of the hills.
Toilets cleaned every day. Showers adjustable. Separate shower block and loos. 2 miles from Fort William. Pubs and shops. Grog and Gruel pub doggie friendly.
Only £31.50 for a fully serviced pitch for 2 nights at easter, great value. Gorgeous day the Friday rained the next day.
Gates close at 11pm.Shop on site selling everything and morning papers. Burger van at high season open 8 - 10am and 5 - 10 pm except Monday and Tuesday.
Very friendly and chatty staff. A hello and how are you every time you go into the shop. Will come again and again to this site.
Just returned from a fabulous week at Glen Nevis campsite. We left Glasgow very early due to a terrible weather forecast and arrived at the site at 9.15 in the morning. On arrival at reception there was no question of waiting to get a pitch. Margaret, as always, was extremely helpful and booked us in.
We went to our 'usual' pitch which was thankfully free. You can book pitches for a £10 non returnable fee but we prefer one of the areas that are not bookable. Touch wood, we have always managed to get one of our preferred pitches with stunning views up Glen Nevis and the Ben Nevis Path.
One toilet block was being upgraded but the other was spotlessly clean at all times, even though everyone was being directed to that one.
The pitches are incredibly spacious, plenty of room to put up your awning (at no extra cost) and park your car too.
Site was never too busy this week but we have been there during summer months when it was full and even then the park was clean and tidy and noise at night well controlled.
There are loads of things to do in the area, a walk up Ben Nevis, if you are fit and prepared. Please don't think the tourist path is an easy route, we climbed a nearby mountain and carried ice axes and crampons as the snow was extremely deep at points. A much easier option to visit the hills is to take a trip to Nevis Range ski centre and use the gondola to take you part of the way up Aonach Mor - NOT Ben Nevis as many people seem to think! There is a cafe and some lovely walks from the top gondola station. Fort William itself has a swimming pool, large supermarket, many take aways and several restaurants so a great base for a holiday.
We chose this site because of the positive comments left by other users and we agree wholeheartedly that this is one very good site.
It's location at the foot of Ben Nevis is spectacular. It's accessibility to Fort William and the A82 to travel further afield, is excellent.
We didn't book ahead (not paying £10 to anyone in addition to fees) and arrived just before 5pm. Booking on for a week with a tent, two adults and electric was just over £15 per night. Good value. The fact we arrived in the last few days of September meant advance booking was not a necessity. Reception was efficient and we were allocated to the Cameron field, which is the first field on the left as you enter the site and opposite the shop and reception.
Never did quite work out why we were allocated the Cameron field as it seemed to be the field for those staying one or two nights and then it was motorhomes or, strangely, people parking up in cars and sleeping in them overnight. All the other tents were in Deer field. It was not, however, a disadvantage for us at the time of year.
Cameron has the oldest facilities on the site which means just two showers for Men. I assume the same for Ladies but didn't go and have a look. The rest of the block has toilets/sinks, of which there are half a dozen and they are separate from the shower area. To the front is a scullery with three sinks. Two for washing pots and the other for clothes.
Should Cameron field be packed, then you can use the larger and more modern facilities over in Deer but, to be honest, we had the field practically to ourselves so all the facilities including the two showers, one each, was ideal!
We had originally planned to stay for a week but in the end stayed for another. Not just because the site was good, which it is or that we had everything to ourselves, which we did but because it's such a great base from which to explore Lochaber and further afield off the A82.
We have just returned from this site, it is a very clean site, but better if you can avoid the weekend period we found the toilets were not kept so clean during that time. Also we had paid the extra 10.00 pre booking fee for an extra large pitch,but at the weekend we had 3 tents pitch next to us all on one pitch but one tent was only 1 metre away from ours. The rule of quietness 11pm - 8am this was not observed at weekends. They say a warden goes around, but we saw no one. When we noted this,they said we should have reported it, but that is what the night wardens should be doing. We may return but it is a long way as we live 500 miles away.
Fantastic site, perfect for access to Ben Nevis, the much underrated Glen itself with waterfalls, bike trails, hillfort and more, plus the West Highland Way. Though there are plenty of people stopping here there always seems to be space, with four separate areas for motorhomes/caravans and others for tents. Excellent sized level pitches with electric hook-up - certainly can accommodate motorhomes 30 foot or longer. We were charged £19 per night including extra car and electric which seemed quite reasonable for 2 adults and 3 kids, but no discount for stays of a week or more. A good-sized drive through motorhome service unit is available. My only complaint would be that fresh water is not readily available enough; those wanting to be able to refill from their site will have to choose very carefully. The on site shop is excellent for essentials, campin equipment, maps, etc and is licensed and sells tobacco too. The staff at the site were very helpful and knowledgeable about walks, bus routes and weather. WiFi is not available on site but is free in the bar/restaurant only 500m distant. The burger van is not open mid week but is there for early mornings and 5.00pm to 9.00pm over the weekend, which is superb for those doing the Ben or a long hike. The laundry is very good - big and clean, though a bit pricey at £3.00 per wash and £1 for 20 minutes in the tumble dryer. There is a children's playground, dog walking area and the views are exceptional. Fort William itself is about 3 miles away and has a large Morrisons, Tesco Metro, Boots, WHSmith and more outdoor gear shops than you can count! There are also some great cafes, for example Fired Art, with free internet. My only suggestions would be a games/TV room for those inevitable rainy days, a book swap and getting WiFi run down the road to the site itself. Excellent!
Excellent site, the best campsite I would say I have been to. Facilities are excellent and the views spectacular.
Brilliant - hope to visit the site again and again. The toilet blocks were warm and even had 'piped Radio 2' which was a novel change. The showers were always clean whatever time of the day you called in.
We had a bit of a problem with 'lost keys in boot of car!' but the staff were really helpful and were more than willing to help.
The bins were emptied every morning so no rubbish was left laying around.
The pub on site was great although we never eat there. There was also an 'on site' burger/breakfast van!. A great idea for back packers with no cooking facilities.
We have just returned from our sixth visit to this site this year and as always it just gets better. We use it as a home base when visiting the Western Isles and more recently John O' Groats. We have found that we tend to compare all other sites to this one, but the location and staff friendliness are extremely hard to beat.
The toilets/showers and laundry room are always clean. The meals at the restaurant adjoining the site are first class (the steak pie with extra gravy - Yummy).
There is a bus service into Fort William or on foot it is just a good stretch of the legs.We are hoping to visit again later this year - No midgies
Had a fabulous time at Glen Nevis ! Facilities are great. The sockets in the toilet/shower blocks are a great bonus (hair straighteners etc)
Plenty to do in the surrounding area (even in the rain, which there was plenty of)
The children's play area proved a hit with the kids.
We had booked in advance and were allocated a field, very roomy. Although On our last night when the field still had plenty of space, we were slightly disappointed to find a family pitching within 2/3 metres of us.
As it was out last night we never brought it to the staffs attention, although I do feel they would have moved them.
Looking forward to our next visit as our daughter (3 & 9) loved the site!
This is a very large and well organised site catering in equal measure for campers after a relaxing holiday and backpackers, cyclists and Ben Nevis climbers who are just passing through.
The site is generally split into two sections; one for tents and one for vans. There are various tent fields some offering EHU. I am not sure how many tent pitches there are exactly with EHU but there appeared to be fewer than I expected – check if this is essential to you, as one field with EHU points is for reservations only (which cost you a bit of a cheeky £10 charge). Some tent pitches are on a slight slope but the majority are on the flat.
The site has numerous facility blocks (it is a big site) which are modern and kept very clean. There are also washing machines and dryers (coin operated), and indoor pot washing sinks.
The site shop is very large as site shops go and stocks all manner of food items and even some basic camping equipment, if a little on the expensive side. I assume that this is where you can get your ice packs refrozen, possibly for a small charge.
There is also an on site bar and restaurant, but this is very expensive. Those on a budget but still wanting a few pints and some pub grub are better off going into Fort William were there a few pubs and a “Brewers Fare” type place. There is also a large Morrison’s supermarket for the cheapest supplies.
The reason most people visit this site is, naturally, Ben Nevis. The convenience cannot be understated. The site is literally at the foot of the mountain so no travelling is required if you want to attempt the summit. There are also good waking opportunities in the Glen where the site is.
In summary, an excellent site, well maintained and managed and located, and a must for any potential Ben Nevis visitor.
Can only agree with other reviewers. Excellent location, friendly helpful staff. Pitches are flat and plenty of space, many of the hardstanding areas have mains water supply and drainage at no extra cost.
Prices very reasonable especially when you look at the amount of work they do to keep the park in good condition. The showers etc were very good, plenty of hot water and space.
The restaurant (also owned by the estate) just up the road was very good. You can take a lovely walk along the river to the falls in Glen Nevis then back again through the forest where we spotted red squirrels in the trees, also spotted some birds of prey but not being a twitcher (except when OH is navigating) couldn't tell you what they were.
2 mile walk into Fort William, large Morrisons in town for stocking up and cheap fuel.
Excellent location close to the Nevis range and Fort William nestled in the stunning Scottish mountains. Nice flat pitches with plenty of space. No marked pitches.Just turn up and camp where you like.
Excellent facilities including washers, driers and plenty of clean hot showers, all very clean. Friendly and helpful staff and reasonably priced. Well stocked shop on site. Would definitely like to return here.
Can only re-iterate what other reviewers have said about this lovely camp-site. Unfortunately, we were not able to appreciate the scenery as the weather was appalling the one night we stayed - howling winds and heavy rain all night - and we cut short our stay as we were so fed-up with the weather. We'd tried to escape bad weather earlier that week on Skye, but seem to have brought it with us! The only niggle we have is that vehicles are not allowed on the grass right next to tents - we have a small pop-up tent and use our vehicle to prepare food and cook out of the back of, and we store the coolbox and dry foods in the van, too.
We may go back there another time to hopefully enjoy the promising scenery, but maybe then will have to endure the dreaded midgies!
Superb camp site with fantastic scenery. Pitches (for elec hook-up) were a very good size - even for a large tent like ours.
Picnic tables are provided for those travelling without 'furniture' which I thought was a nice touch!
Staff were all friendly and very helpful.
Shower/Toilet block was clean, and hot water was in plentiful supply (and the showers are free).
One of the best sites we have stayed at in the UK - we will definitely return!
Check the internet for the 'midge alert' before you travel - they were out in force during our visit and repellent is necessary. We were advised by the locals to use Avon Skin so Soft (even on our dog) and it did help!
Stayed here when we climbed ben nevis, which is 5 minutes walk away so very handy. Very clean, nice site. Tents can pitch wherever so common sense is required but there was lots of room between us and other tents. Toilets very clean, showers always hot, sockets in the toilet block were excellent for a quick charge up of the mobile and for using straighteners.
Would be handy if they cut the grass a little more often as every time I walked out of the tent my feet and legs were soaked.
We had a 'lads only' tent next to us, who returned at 1am very drunk, lots of noise til 2.30am, we decided to complain on our way out that morning, but were beaten to it by the site manager waking them up at 8.30 and informing them they had 30 mins to get off the site.
Nice to know that this behaviour isn't tolerated and is acted on swiftly.
Would definitely go back as its a good clean site meeting the requirements we needed.
