Reviewer: Gicharlie17 4 reviews from this member

 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.

Reviewer: Adasb 20 reviews from this member

 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!

Reviewer: Pauli925 3 reviews from this member

 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!

Reviewer: Angef 28 reviews from this member

 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.

 Stayed at this campsite in a large tent with electric hook up. Ideal as a base for climbing Ben Nevis - wonderful location and scenery.

Toilet block was fantastic and showers were free and hot. Very good reasonably priced on site shop with a good stock of camping accessories.

Pub within walking distance although staff there were a little grumpy.

Highly recommended!

Reviewer: Coastcamper 38 reviews from this member

 Excellent site. Superb location at the foot of Ben Nevis. Very efficient check in service. Very reasonable prices. Spacious level pitches, with hardstanding and grass. Well stocked shop with very courteous staff. Excellent toilet facilities and separate shower block.

Pub / restaurant a short walk along the road at the start of Ben Nevis ascent.

Had 2 night stay as part of fortnight round Scotland trip. Would definitely use again.

Reviewer: Bight Idea 1 review from this member

 I can only reiterate the comments on the vast majority of the previous reviews for this site. Superb location right at the foot of Ben Nevis the site is large but doesn't feel so with several smaller areas making up the whole with great facilities that where always clean.

We (2 adults and 3 kids - 13, 9 and 2) arrived on saturday afternoon on the recent bank holiday weekend after reserving a non electric tent pitch. This turned out to be on the 'Spruce Field' and after a swift booking in procedure made our way to the area.

We had been somewhat apprehensive as we have a Hartford XL and wondered how cramped the pitches would be. However there was loads of space on the large flat field serviced by several water and refuse points that were emptied twice daily. The views where spectacular and throughout the weekend could not believe how despite the site filling everyone had plenty room.

The toilets where always clean and the individual shower cubicles had plenty room to sort the kids out with plenty hot water.

The site had a great atmosphere with families, walkers and motorcyclists all soaking up the sunshine (believe it or not) during our week long stay.

The restaurant and bar on site served great pub grub and we paid on average for 2 adults and 3 kids to eat 3 courses with plenty soft drinks and 2 bottles of wine around £100. Not cheap but that said if this place had been in the Lake District you could add another £50 onto that and not get as much or as good.

We did the Harry Potter train ride from Fort William to Mallaig crossing the viaduct in the films. The kids loved it but I enjoyed the drive along the same route much more.

The beaches at Morar just before Mallaig around 40 miles from the site are breathtaking. Pure white sand and turquoise water with the place almost deserted. We had a beach to ourselves on a sunny day during half term.

Likewise turning right out of the site leads to to plenty spots to stop by the river with small pebble beaches that you had to yourself. We also did the Loch Ness Experience. It was £18 for the 5 of us but was basically a large gift / tat shop with a brief info tour beforehand that essentially dispelled the myth.

The only other issue were the dreaded midges! Basically I think we were lucky with the weather but when they did arrive Avon's Skin so soft and the citronella candles seemed to work well.

The Highlands are spectacular and the site is superb. We will certainly return. 


Date of Visit: May 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Alisons 2 reviews from this member

 The staff were extremely helpful and it was nice to see wardens on bikes just quietly checking all was well as the evening drew to a close. We were on the Holmfield area for reserved pitches and had a super double sized hard standing in the far corner, next to the gate which led to the dog walk and the mountain access path. It was nice to chat to the passers by.

The toilet blocks - of which there are many, were spotless and the showers also, never had to queue, nice music to listen to as you shower, and separate cubicles self draining so you are not standing in a flow of water from other showers.

Good laundrette, clothes baskets provided, dryers and ironing boards.

This is a large site, but in no way did I feel that space was compromised. We had loads of room and all of the other caravans seemed to have also.

I biked across to the tenting fields (as an ex-tenter I felt I had to check out what I was missing) What a great atmosphere! little bbq's and raised fires dotted around, seemed very chilled out with people chatting and laughing.

The site is to die for in my book, and cheap. At less than £130 for 6 nights for 2 adults, 4 children,(13,12,10&10), full awning, fully serviced pitch (waste, water) extra car, you can not fail to look up at the Ben, which was covered in sunshine for almost the whole week, and say 'I'm in heaven' Our girls spent all their time cycling around on their bikes and going to the park making friends.

Great base to do so much, we spent a day on the white sands at Morar - an absolute must, then drove down from Lochaline to get the Corran Ferry back to Onich. Went to Oban, visited friends in Fort Augustus, went horse riding in Torlundy, just so much at your fingertips.

Reviewer: Scrapsmum 4 reviews from this member

 We were in the reserved tent area with EHU which cost £10 extra on booking. We had an 8 man tent which fitted fine in the pitch, we had 2 dogs and were not far from the dog exercise area, but was not always accessible to us because of a bark path and a small awkward gate that couldn't fit a wheelchair through.

The shop was very handy and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Toilet facilities were good but the disabled toilet / shower was very basic, no shower curtain, no obvious heating, as well as a very loud noise when you pulled the light cord! on our 7th and last day it still didn't look like anyone had been to clean the floor it, still had tyre tracks.

The burger van was available Fri to Sun and the food was nice, we visited the restaurant / Pub on our first day. The restaurant menu was a bit fancy for us so we opted for the pub, the menu wasn't much better and all four of us opted for the same thing which none of us enjoyed.

The scenery from the park was amazing and plenty of roads to go exploring, Fort William itself was lovely. Unfortunately because of its age lots of the shops were not very wheelchair friendly. We did visit lochaber hydrotherapy pool and was much enjoyed.

This site was used largely by hikers and bikers and is well suited for this from its location to Ben Nevis, do expect weird weather conditions though as we experienced sunshine, rain, fog, hail, sleet and snow in 1 day.

Reviewer: Stocky13 24 reviews from this member

 I can only agree what others have said about this site.

It is fantastic, the views spectacular.

The site is the best that we have been on. Very clean and well kept.

We paid £36 for 2 nights, with electric hook up.

We had plenty of room. They even provide a picnic table, we went with friends so we pithed next to each other and put the table between the 2 tents.

We will be going here again. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Date of Visit: April 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Hovis26 5 reviews from this member

 A very nice site with friendly helpful staff in a great location.

Toilet blocks were always very clean and water nice and hot. Blocks are not heated though which meant you can get cold very quickly when getting out of the shower.

We booked our pitch in advance which meant we were allocated our spot. Good thing about this is you get fully serviced facilities and all pitches are good, bad side is it costs you £10 and you are the furthest pitches away from the toilet block

So would we return to this site - I think that's always the strongest test and without a doubt the answer is yes. In fact we haven't been on a better site for the price. High recommended.

Reviewer: Mandy12 1 review from this member

 A perfect location in breathtaking scenery! Facilities are superb - in fact some of the best I've seen on my camping and sailing adventures between Wales and Estonia! I've just got home having spent 2 nights there and if not for severe weather conditions I'd still be there!

All staff were first class but Margaret deserves a special mention as she's one of those people who just goes the extra mile. This site is a must for anyone who appreciates excellent service, good facilities and a range of activities within easy reach.

Will definitely be back - but when the blizzards are no more and the only adversary is the notorious Scottish Midge! 


Date of Visit: February 2010 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Davspat 5 reviews from this member

 We enjoyed snow and cool weather but reliable electricity and TV made this a very acceptable site for us. We live in our motorhome (travelling from OZ) and this was one of the best sites to date in 5 months around Scotland.

Everything clean, available, and convenient. Staff are great and helpful - would that all sites matched this! Access to easy walks and great views are a bonus. 


Date of Visit: October 2009 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Dharma5 2 reviews from this member

 Arrived late at the site had rung ahead so not a problem. We made very welcome, lady on reception very friendly and helpful. Its a beautiful site, lots of level pitches, non-metered hook ups, absolutely stunning surroundings, toilet blocks etc. Excellent. In a good location as just outside Fort William, so ideal as a stop off or as a base for longer stay. Will definitely return - oh, and cheap too!

Reviewer: 3peaks 3 reviews from this member

 Great location and excellent facilities including lots of clean and free showers plus industrial tumble dryers that are essential after a day in the Scottish hills. The on-site shop and bar/ restaurant are all very good and friendly.

Perfect location for a climb up the Ben.

The only downside is the camping pitches were a bit 'damp' you had to choose from flat and wet or sloping and damp.

Overall would definitely use again if I was in the area.
