Reviewer: TENTER3 4 reviews from this member

 Excellent site. Clean and modern showers and toilets at no extra cost. Plenty of hot water at all times despite it being high season. Well stocked shop. Excellent dishwashing facilities. Well worth the money. Well maintained and lovely setting. Staff friendly and helpful.

Reviewer: Jonnmedds 79 reviews from this member

 Glen Nevis has great facilities that are well looked after. The staff are very friendly and the location is breathtaking, as soon as I opened the door to the tent I was surrounded by mountains.

The only gripe I had was noisy neighbours, the site rules state that after 11pm there is to be total silence, on quite a few nights there was noise until 12.30am.

Reviewer: Fenboy 17 reviews from this member

 Once again a great few nights here. Prices are slightly high for my liking but I keep coming back. This is a site that has a number of tarrif bands instead of just low and high so check it out first if you can.

Site very well kept, facilities very good, site layout is good and not confusing for kids like some others. Snack bar for breakfast and evening snacks. Good shop on site for odds and ends, be it food or clothes or repairs.

Pitches are a good size and not cramped even when busy.

Good base for Road to the Isles, Great Glen, Ben Nevis, Glen Coe, Ardnamurchan, Caladonian Canal, West Highland Way etc.

Lots to do locally or travel out a few miles for loads more 


Date of Visit: May 2008 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Rudy-de-Cologne 2 reviews from this member

 This campsite is rather large! - But whilst staying there, you never feel like getting lost or so due to the perfect park-like architecture and large old trees on-site.

Having been there about 10 years ago, this is still the same good campsite as we knew. Check-In was friendly and fast. Finding a pitch hasn't been a problem because we travelled outside any school-holidays or bankholidays.

Midges were a little bit a problem, but if you avoid to camp beside shrubs & bushes or near hedges, then you might escape most of the mosquitoes. Otherwise we recommend to buy some 'AVON SkinSoSoft' at the campsite's shop!

For tents the ground is partly a bit hard and stony. So bring enough special steel-pegs with you! (Or buy these in the shop beside reception).

The facilities were okay (not yet 'state-of-the-art', but clean at any times!).

All in all we had absolutely no complaints and we will definitely come back to this well-maintained campsite whenever we'll be in Scotland again!

The nearby restaurant / pub has good food to offer and is fully licensed (with a good choice of beer and whiskies).

The site is ideally located for exploring the Nevis-Range, the Grampians, the 'Road to the Isles' and Fort William itself.

Enjoy your stay!

 Booked here for 3 nights Bank holiday week, first impression was really good, and the lady at reception was very smart and booked us in with no problems at all. We were staying in the Spruce field which is booked in advance. Found that there was plenty of space available round us not many tents for Bank holiday week. Best thing was the toilets and showers excellent, the cleanest I have ever seen on any campsite. There is also a bar 5 mins down the road, bit pricey on drinks though! but this is a tourist area. You have great views of Ben Nevis from the campsite with snow still on top of it in May, I found this campsite really good value for money at £13 pounds a night for two of us with a large tent. Would definitely go back to this site next year.

Reviewer: Brassir 6 reviews from this member

 We've been to this site loads of times, and really love it. Its a super base for the area, which is truly stunning. The facilities are reasonable, and we like that there aren't huge restaurants / games rooms / karaoke - who needs those when you've got rivers, forests and ben nevis on your doorstep?! Its always busy when we go (and frequently I've heard them say its full to others), but its never felt over-crowded to us. The tent area feels completely separate to caravans. Reception area is professional, and there are amenities very closeby, like a family restaurant.

Would highly recommend this site.

Reviewer: Lewcon 2 reviews from this member

 We have visited this site for about 5 years now and still think its brilliant. The toilet / shower facilities are always clean - free hot showers.
We were there on the last May holiday weekend, weather scorching and the park was very busy but still felt you had loads of room. Like it when you are left to find your own space not given a specific plot to pitch your tent.
The restaurant / bar next door serves lovely food. All the staff we met, in shop, campsite and restaurant were all very nice and couldn't do enough to help.
As you are at the bottom of Ben Nevis the scenery and surrounding area is lovely and the walks you can go are great, even our 2 year old loved the gorge walk.

 Excellent site and facilities, stayed here on the 1st May Bank Holiday friday. The weather was ok, a bit windy on Sat, early start hillwalking on Sat morning as I coudnt sleep for noisy neighbours but glad to see and hear that the on site ranger did his job and by the way the noisy crew were not young hoodies or base ball cap wearing neds but adults who should know better.
I have used this site a lot of times and it ticks all the right boxes ,would reccomend for every one from groups to singles

Reviewer: Freyja 56 reviews from this member

 Our second time at this site. Large site, don't need to book even at peak times, there always seem to be spaces. Lovely site divided into 4 sections for caravans and motorhomes and another section for tents. 3 large shower and toilet blocks. No queues even at peak times. Clean toilets. Hot adjustable showers.
There is a shop on site with friendly staff selling everything you need. Obviously a bit more pricey than a Tesco but not too bad. Morrisons 1.5 miles along the road in Fort William.
Quiet site after dark. Well lit site. Decent sized pitches plenty room for caravan and car. Barrier at entrance. Was a bit windy our second night the caravan rocked a bit. Small stream running through camp site. Dog walk on site.
Fully serviced pitch, with 2 adults and a dog (free) £16.00 per night. We will be back again soon.

Reviewer: Arty Collins 5 reviews from this member

 Without a doubt one of the best sites in Scotland. I am a regular visitor. Spent one night here on my way up to Assynt and a further night on my return South. Very few campers about but plenty motorhomes. Excellent shower and toilet facilities. Very helpful staff. No midges, although it was early April!. Lots of snow on the Ben, views incredible as usual.

Reviewer: Lurkanator 4 reviews from this member

 All I can say is if you have not been here then go as it is the best caravan site I have ever been to. 5 STAR IN MY OPINION. . . . I have been every year for 20yrs sometimes for 2weeks. It only gets better. You can spend all day looking up ben nevis. BRILLIANT

Reviewer: Fenboy 17 reviews from this member

 Been here many times but first time in a tent. Great shower, laundry block in tent field. Electric hookups available as well.

Well stocked shop for the necessarys or 2 supermarkets in Fort William for more of a range.

Great bar and resturant about 100 metres or so up road. Useful after walking The West Highland Way! spent 3 good nights in there! good range of whisky some are a bit more expensive, be prepared.

What more can I say. I will be back next year as usual. 


Date of Visit: October 2007 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Tiggarsmum 22 reviews from this member

 What a fantastic site. Having just purchased a wee campervan we were not too sure where to pitch for the night but this is a site to to remember.

Just a few miles from Fort William, it boasts stunning views of Ben Nevis, excellent pitches, good Motorhome refill and waste points, immaculate facilities including piped music in the loos, plus the showers (also immaculate) were open 'till 11pm. There is a small shop on site which supplys all the basics.

At £12.70 a night in low season for a camper with hook up I can highly recommend this site. 


Date of Visit: September 2007 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Gm4pgv 5 reviews from this member

 Spent two nights on this very nice site, reception is first class, sites are mostly hard standing, you will need rock pegs!Toilets immaculate with lashings of hot water, showers probably the best I have ever used. Ever so handy for those hell bent on scrambling up Ben Nevis, the access to the mountain is only a hundred meters away!

The only negative I could level at the site is that the after hours warders area little too officious, we were sat in our awning having a chat at 10.00 O'clock in the evening when we were visted by them and told to keep the noise down! as we are both rapidly approaching our 70's I suppose we should feel proud that we can still cause uproar!. I did ask for an appology next morning at reception but had a notice pointed out to me that said if I did not agree with being visited my their 'noise police' then perhaps Glen Nevis site was not for me!

I shall probably not return.

Reviewer: Glyderau 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed at the Glen Nevis site for two nights to climb the Ben. We actually arrived just after the reception block closed at 7pm, but saw the signs telling late arrivals to pitch and pay in the morning.

We pitched in heavy rain and wind though managed to find a sheltered spot close to a shower block in the Benview Field. The wardens woke us up bright and early the following morning chasing our overnight fees!

The site is very well laid out with more than adequate provision of toilet and shower facilities. It was by no means full while we were there though still quite busy and the toilets, free hot showers and scullery areas were never crowded.

The location of the site is enviable being part way down Glen Nevis, well placed for an attack on the UK's highest mountain. There's also a handy public bus that runs down to Fort William and back, though it was a bit pricey given that the town centre is only a couple of miles away.

It wasn't too loud at night though some guys in a tent close to us were having a merry time settling for sleep and complaining about the pond inside their tent - all in good humour though and they soon quietened down.

Overall this is an excellent site - just beware of the evil midges!
