This site is fantastic in every way. Spotlessly clean facilities at all times, spacious pitches, excellent shower cubicles with free showers. There is a free hairdryer but there are plugs so you can take your own electricals. This site is in a stunning location, without being too far away from anything. 1 thing - take some midgie repellent (they do sell Avon Skin So Soft in the site shop if you forget). I will definitely go back to this site the next time I am in Fort William - without a doubt.
Fantastic location for a campsite. Right below Ben Nevis. Reception very helpful and lots of information about surrounding attractions and climbing Ben Nevis which I'd definitely recommend!
Good shop on campsite, but also various supermarkets just down the road in Fort William. Also, restaurant just down the road (Glen Nevis Inn I think) which was a 5 min walk and good food.
Showers were always clean, hot and powerful, with various blocks all over the campsite. Freezer in reception for ice blocks (coats 20p each). You also have to park on the track / gravel bit adjacent to your car, which is good as it keeps the grass nice, especially if it's been raining a lot.
We also visited Glen Coe, Glen Etive, Steall Falls (at end of the road the campsite is on), all of which had good walks and sights to see.
Quiet after 11pm in the week whilst we were there, however, come Friday night, the rule keeping tents 4m's apart was not enforced and we were kept awake by various groups past 1am, which was a shame as the rest of the stay was brilliant and one of the best we have stayed on.
Would definitely stay here again, during the week and other that this we had a brilliant stay, with lots to see in surrounding area.
Wow - what a stunning campsite! Spent 2 nights here but wished we could have stayed longer.
The good points -The view, stunning! very friendly staff, we had paid the £10 to reserve a place (think it must be worth doing peak season although there were spaces when we were there). Toilets and showers very clean and lots of hot water,didn't have to wait as I used them in the evening rather than the morning! Rubbish was cleaned regularly -site was immaculate. A good shop and not too pricey although there is a Morrisons about 2 miles down the road and a Tesco in Fort William.
Bad points - none really! If I was being really picky, it was a bit annoying that the pitch was all gravel as our kids sleep in the campervan awning and the ground was rock hard but I am sure they would have let us move to a grass pitch if we had asked! Didn't even get bothered by the midges (but we did use Avon skin so soft!)Will definitely go back
Busy site, with clean toilet block. Stunning views. Pub ok, but never tasted the food. Maybe I like smaller sites because I didn't really like the amount of people about. It felt overcrowded. Thought it expensive at £25 per night though. Nice enough site if that's your thing. Not my cup of tea though.
What a stunning location for a campsite! Right at the foot of ben nevis surrounded by mountains, woodland and a river. Being a naturalist as well you can't ask for more than cuckoos and willow warblers waking you up in the morning.
The site was clean, the showers were hot and powerful and there are even electric sockets for hairdryers/straighteners in the toilets!
The shop on site stocked some essential goods and the nearby bar was good for a drink in the evening-didn't eat there though so can't comment on the food.
If you've come to Scotland for mountain walking there are so many routes to choose from from the campsite.
Think we were particularly lucky with midges as they only prevented us from sitting outside one night out of 6.
Only thing I would say is try to avoid coming here for a peaceful camp when events are on in Fort William-such as the downhill mountain bike championship, which was on when we were there. The campsite got full of mountain bikers who just wanted to get drunk all night-rightly so! The earplugs were a godsend but the wardens were really good at keeping on top of the noisy drunks!
I'm just home from a 5 night stay at this caravan site and may I say it was my 1st caravanning holiday
It was very clean and tidy, loads of space between each plot, free hot showers which were very clean, a supply of toilet paper at all times (very important for us girls lol), a socket for hair straighteners in the toilet block (again very important!). It was very peaceful and had no problems with any rowdy folk. Prices very reasonable for site. Esp with the view of the 'mountain', having it watching over you all day is very magical!
The on site bar and restaurant (about a 5 min walk away) is really good, whether it be bar meal or in the restaurant itself the food was great and great value for your money. Approx £15 for 2 mains and 2 sweets plus 2 soft drinks.Not bad in my eyes.If you go you have to try the warm chicken caesar salad. Its amazing! The fish and chips in the bar is great too.
If staying in Fort William you have to go on the Steam Train to Mallaig, it goes over the Viaduct that features in the Lord of the Rings films, it also gives you a view of the white sands of Morar which looks like some tropical island! Fish and chips by the harbour in . Mallaig is FAB!
I wasn't brave enough 'this time' to go up 'Ben Nevis' but did go through the forest behind the caravan park which was lovely,and great for the dog, also a walk along the river was really nice, the dog also had a wee dip in the crystal clear water.The views are spectacular!
I used to live in Fort William when I was little and it was nice to wander round and see how much has changes (not been back in around 31 yrs!). And that's a lot of changes!. But had also forgot actually how beautiful the West coast of Scotland really is!
So on the way home we drove to Urquart Castle and was really disappointed to find that you now have to pay to wander round it! And £7 per person I think is a bit steep!.You didn't have to pay when I was a kid!.The drive up the West coast past Loch Ness was magical and so beautiful it was breathtaking!.I would recommend the drive for anyone, and we were towing a caravan, and still had plenty of space on the road!
I give the caravan site 10 out of 10 and we are now going for a bigger caravan after my 1st successful weekend and do some touring.But my 1st stop over will defo be Glen Nevis!
One more small thing. I'm never bothered by midgies (or mozzies abroad), but the shop sells Avons Skin so Softly which is worth buying, my Bf gets bitten but didn't this time. Whether its because I was next to him or not I'm not sure lol lol, but they weren't much of a problem. And I seen loads of folk walking around with loads of bites round their legs etc!
My husband and I stayed at this site for one night with two friends as we travelled from Lands End to John O'Groats (they were cycling .).
This site was by the far the best site we went to during the trip and for my husband and me the best site we have ever been to. To start with the location is fantastic at the foot of Ben Nevis. The facilities are among the best we have seen, there are ample showers and toilets and every kind of facility you could ask for at a camp site and all very good quality and clean.
The pitches are level and you have a lot of space for each pitch. There are dedicated dog walking fields which we thought a very good idea. There is a very well stocked shop (the best we've come across so far) and the staff are very helpful and accommodating, they managed to give us a pitch for the motorhome as close to the tent field as possible as we had a motorhome and tent in our group.
We definitely plan to go back to this site, it's just a shame it's such a long way from London or we'd go regularly! Can't recommend this site high enough. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Visited this site on many occasions over the last 15 years. Site is always clean and tidy, showers and toilets clean as usual, good launderette. Site located about 3 miles from Fort William, shops restaurants etc. Site has its own shop selling most items required,bonus is the pub/restaurant is 200metres from the site.
Site location is second to none at the foot of Ben Nevis. The downside is the facilities, showers, washbasins and toilets are now looking a bit worn out.
This is the fifth time I've been to this large site and the first time its ever been full. There was the world mountain bike championships on over the weekend and the place was packed. No spaces available saturday for either tents, caravans or motorhomes. The site was still quiet at night. There is a 24 hour warden in season. It cost us 16.50 per night for a fully serviced pitch. I love this site, it's surrounded by the mountains and separated into parks, 3 parks for motorhomes and caravans and 3 parks for tents. For caravans and motorhomes 2 of the parks have EHU and one park has fully serviced pitches round the edge of the park. Some pitches are hardstanding. Pitches are large, no sitting on top of your neighbour here. There are a certain amount of pitches in another park which you can book but they hold back 150 pitches for people on a first come first served basis. Very clean, tidy site with trees and hedges separating parks. Friendly efficient staff. Shop on site selling papers, rolls, bread, tinned & frozen foods, milk, juice and some camping gear and souvenirs. There are 4 toilet blocks dotted around the site, always clean, showers separate from toilets, no charge to use showers and hairdryers. Barrier to site closes at 11pm you have to park in the outside car park after that. Usual facilities, chemical toilet disposal, motor home service point, scullery, laundry room, children's play area. There is a restaurant next to the park, a bit pricey at £20.25 for a 8oz sirloin steak. Looked at menu but didn,t go in. Morrisons supermarket is 2 miles along the road in Fort William. Plenty pubs and restaurants in Fort William most serving food. Dogs are welcome on site and there are 2 dog walks. It rained a bit on Saturday but no problem with drainage. We will return soon.
This site is beautifully located at the bottom of Ben Nevis, ideal for the intrepid to hike up from. Pitches aren’t marked – just pitch where you find a space, which gives a lot of freedom, and leave 4 metres between yourself and the next tent. Facilities are comprehensive, clean and excellent, prices are reasonable for all that’s included in the price (showers, scullery, hairdryers etc) and the shop offers pretty much everything you could possibly have forgotten, short of an actual tent and any emergency supplies or gifts you might want. Staff are friendly and mostly keep the noise of other campers down at night. There are plenty of toilets, sinks and showers, and if they are ever too busy there are other facilities elsewhere on the site. It is an excellent base for visiting other nearby attractions and doing plenty of walking, depending on your interests. Fort William is only two miles away and has a big Morrisons.
Not many downsides; in early June there were increasing numbers of midges so this could be bad in the height of summer (the shop sells netting and hats though). There aren’t any family cubicles that I could see in the washrooms, and cars have to be parked on the hard-standing areas which in some places can be some distance from where you pitch your tent. This does protect the grass and reduce mud at a site which clearly gets plenty of rain, but it does make unpacking a bit more of a trial. The ‘4 metre’ rule did not seem to be policed very firmly either, as many tents were clearly nearer to each other than that.
Despite these very minor concerns however, this is an excellent site and I would not hesitate to recommend it, or visit again (though less likely in midge season).
Stayed at Glen Nevis with my wife and in laws in my caravan in 2009 not 2010 but I'm late entering my report and it would not go back to the date I was there.
This is a lovely part of the UK and what views.
Climbed Ben Nevis with the wife and I'm just getting over it now. Ha
It’s quite a big site and has a nice little shop on site.
No louts here. Lots of Main land Europeans here which make a great mix.
Restaurant just up the road which was bloody fantastic. Not cheap but I don’t mind when I'm getting that sort of service.
I will go again one day and I highly recommend it.
My partner, son and I visited this site at the weekend having read lots of good reviews about it. The staff at the reception were lovely, the lady that works in the adjoining shop was especially nice, chatting to our three year old and really including him in the conversation which was appreciated.
We were shown the best field for us to choose which would be handy for the toilet block and the play park for our sons sake.
The ground was flat but a wee bit stony but we managed to get the pegs in without too much fuss. There was plenty space between the tents, however we knew as the day went on it would fill a bit, did it ever!
The toilet block was huge and well laid out, unfortunately it was a bit of a mess, maybe it was due to be cleaned.
There was electric hook ups for tents in areas of the field, these were separate from the other tents and looked very spacious.
The play park was really basic, couple of swings, one for babies, a see saw and two climbing frames but our son loved it.
By the time it got late our area looked like T in the Park with the amount of tents, so close in fact that even the ear plugs I had in didn't take away the noise from snorers in the tents next to us!
The campsite was faultless in the fact that our experience wasn't particularly good, the site facilities and the staff were fantastic, I just don't feel this is a site for a family holiday, not in the tent section, its for hill climbers and backpackers. Too much noise through the night.
Its a good site with such great potential but the undesirable things that were lying around on the grass where we were trying to pitch our tent, used wet wipes and discarded teabags etc. from the previous occupiers of that area mean we wont be back to the site. Its a shame because the staff and even the guys on the snack bar were brilliant, a really good laugh. Maybe a wee bit more regulation, separating the family tents from the others would make this site second to none.
What a great site. First time in Scotland and after a disastrous start at another site further south we started our stay here early. Great customer service, very helpful and friendly. Booked initially for 5 nights and stayed for 7. Location is out of this world and the wonderful Ben Nevis is on your doorstep. Everything they say positive about this site is correct. Lovely clean showers, lots of hot water, well maintained and spotless site. The restaurant just 5 mins down the road may not be the cheapest but we spent our anniversary there and were treated like kings. Great staff again couldn't do enough for us. Everything was as it said in the writeup and we couldn't fault the surroundings, amenities or staff. Want to be back there now. Go and enjoy.
Visited this site for the third year and it's still fantastic. Clean showers / toilet block, lovely, spacious and level pitches, great shop and the most amazing views of Ben Nevis. Plus a superb pub/restaurant within walking distance. What more could you ask for?
Can only add to what everyone else has said, superb site, friendly and helpful staff, excellent and clean facilities. Plenty of room on pitches and hard standing. Reasonably priced for quality site, set in fantastic area and scenery great position for walking up Ben Nevis (make sure to allow for a recovery day afterwards) and Fort William, dog loved it! Only one very nit picking criticism the chippings on the pitch hard standing get brought into van on feet.
Would recommend to anyone and would be more than happy to visit again. Marvellous
