Called into this fabulous site for 3 days (7/10th July 2014) on spec and could not have been happier!
Originally only going to stay a couple of days, we stayed on a further night and would quite happily have stayed longer had it been possible.
The site staff were genuinely friendly (especially the elderly gentleman (Tom) who zooms around on his golf buggy ensuring everything is hunky dory for your stay. At over 80 years of age, he is AMAZINGLY sprightly!
The large toilet block was very clean & tidy with oodles of hot water, powerful showers and it would appear they are tended to on a regular basis throughout the day.
The site is level, dry and ideal for touring caravans, motorhomes or tenting alike & in one of the most idyllic places we have visited in our many years of touring in The Highlands!
The grass was immaculately trimmed and, to be honest, there was nothing to have a moan about.
A bonus for the biking fraternity is a large open shed to park their bike in of an evening should the weather be inclement. There is also an area for drying your wet clothes in the shed! There's a hostel building for non-campers also.
Another big bonus for us was the on-site bar and restaurant for a 'wee dram' on the short walk into town for the evening.
Being such a short walk (less than 3 minutes) into town is ideal & all you will need is there for you in the various shops.
The Caledonian Canal goes clean through the town and is a lovely place to while away a couple of hours on a sunny evening, watching the boats, some of which can be huge, climb the locks. We even witnessed a Viking Longboat come up through the canal locks, spectacular.
Fort Augustus is a very cosmopolitan little town, having visitors from the world over while we were there, mooring their boats for the evening and having a stroll through town or a light refreshment in one of the many Inns or Hotels.
All in all, I would say this site in particular, but even the location is a must for a stay on your travels through The Highlands of Scotland.
A large site with many hsp''s separated by grass all around a large field. There is a restaurant on site but we have not been there. The facilities are more than adequate. It' s very close, a 5minutes walk, to the interesting cascade locks of Fort Augustus. There are shops and restaurants, one restaurant is located at the boards of Loch Ness, where it flows into the Caledonian Canal, just before the locks.
Was using this site as a couple of night stop over to break up the journey. From the moment I booked it I regretted not adding more nights and this view didn't change whilst we were there! Easy to find. Went into reception to get checked in. Site layout and facilities explained nice and clearly so off we set to get pitched up. Location was absolutely superb. We were very lucky with the weather as it was sunny all the time so we we able to just sit and relax at the loch side whenever we felt like it.
On site the facilities included two toilet / shower blocks, motorhome point, bar and kids play area. The toilet blocks are a little old and could do with a refresh. First time use of the shower and it was cold. The light sensor in the toilets was too short and went off before completing!
The bar was well stocked with a variety of drinks. Food was ok if not a little overpriced, but not too bad. About a mile down the road is invermoriston which had very little to do but is picturesque with some nice walks about the area. The shop of note was the local craft shop making leather goods. Worth a visit.
Overall the fact that this is by Loch Ness was more than enough to outweigh the negatives and I wouldn't hesitate stopping again.
Very nice site, man at reception friendly and welcoming. Requested pitch which had TV reception, seemingly 1/2 the pitches don't get TV. Very large pitches, with electric and water supplied (no lugging water bottles). Site is beautifully kept. Toilet block is ok, no major complaints, although the shower cubicles are large, it's difficult to get dressed without your clothes getting wet. It's a very large site and wasn't too busy when we were there but I suspect there would be queues for the 3 showers in high season. Water was hot, although you couldn't regulate the temperature. There appeared to just be 2 industrial bins close to the toilets. I think it would be helpful if there were extra bins placed around the site. There is a lovely new club house, well behaved dogs are welcome. Would definitely return. I think wifi was available sometimes.
I have stayed at this site for the last 4 years when we tour on our motorbikes around Scotland. I therefore get to see a lot of other campsites and this one is probably one of the best. It has a bar and restaurant that open at 5pm each night, toilet facilities are very good, always clean and more importantly warm. This is a godsend after a sometimes cold and wet bike ride. Staff are helpful and friendly, I particularly like the older gentleman who patrols the place on his golf buggy. The views may not be great, especially after staying in Durness, but it has everything you would need for a couple of nights of hassle free camping.
For bikers, we used the site as a base in 2013, staying for 3 nights then riding to Skye or Inverness, both outstanding roads for bikes.
Set at the foot of Ben Nevis in the midst of spectacular Highland scenery. Pitches with fantastic mountain views, for caravans, motorhomes and tents with EHU option, or choose a cosy camping pod or self catering lodge. Showers and toilets, dishwashing, small shop, WiFi, and children`s play park. Explore over 1,000 acres, including woodland, roaming Highland Cattle, fishing rights to the River Nevis, and a multitude of walks and cycle tracks. And afterwards relax in the onsite restaurant and bar! Find out more here
Second visit to this site, but this time staying in one of the 'Hobbits'
This is a great little site on the shores of Lochness, the views is stunning and the park is clean and tidy. We booked online which was easy and fast really.
When we arrived we checked in with ease at reception, then on the night we visited the on site bar which was nice and tidy also. Drinks were good priced along with the meals, which were of good quality. Good friendly staff. We had another meal on another night it was great as well.
As for the hobbit it was nice and cosy also with loads of room inside. Also they have been moved back a bit from the shore side so sitting out in front you get the sun but not the wind.
The toilets were clean and tidy and kept like that for our stay. Would say the taps are big of a pain with the push type and low water pressure, but only a small thing really.
Fantastic site in an excellent location, the facilities are superb, the shower block is probably the best on any campsite in Scotland.
The camping field is great, flat, soft and quietly sheltered with easy access to the village amenities, when the on site bar and lounge opens this site will be very busy so book ahead and maybe see you there, I will definitely be going back
We stayed here with friends from Canada doing a tour of Scotland for a bit of 'Nessie spotting'. We stayed an extra night. It was so peaceful and the twin 7 year olds LOVED the 'hobbit houses', especially when we told them that Nessie used them like lobster pots and she emptied them during the night to eat the occupants.
Yes, it is basic but the showers were warm and efficient, the microlodges were clean, warm and comfortable, it was a convenient stop for the top leg of the tour and the management were friendly and helpful.
It felt private and looking at stars and the calm of the water was wonderful. Well worth the money.
We were on a tour with the kids and found this site by accident. Huge site but it was largely shut down because it was the end of the year.
We only stayed for one night. It all looked fairly new but must have had a pounding. The showers certainly had a wiff of damp and bad water. The shower baskets attached to the wall were just rusting off the wall.
The site is picturesque. Would be interested to how big the queue would be for a shower if the site was full. Albeit a big site there are no real areas for kids to play. Which is hard with a 10 year old who gets board easily.
Must see the lock gates of the canal in the village.

Really good, hadn't booked too much in advance, and was told if no one in reception to just pitch up anywhere until the reception was open. Which is great if you are arriving but worth bearing in mind if you are moving your van for the day. Leave something behind to show that the pitch it taken
Hard standing pitches are massive, felt lost in it! but would be great if you had an awning as you would have plenty room still even after the awning was up.
Having just stopped at a very overcrowded site at Loch Ness, and left early, this site was a breath of fresh air. The friendly staff and freedom is what we love. Pitch anywhere you like we were told, just let us know.
The facilities were great, everything you need and all clean. We loved that you can walk in to Fort Augustus in 5 mins and watch the boat go through the locks.
We loved this site if we are back in the area we will be stopping here.
I can only apologise for not leaving this review earlier, myself and good lady only spent 3 nights there but could have stayed for ages.
A cracking site with everything you need.
I was puzzled about other campers who obviously don't ask questions, they didn't know that you get very good Wi-Fi and in my case very good TV reception and excellent views.
Lot's of bikers use this site but they are so good, well organised and quiet. Plus you get to see some fantastic bikes from all over the world.
The village is really so good, so much to see and do, good shops, butcher, pubs and restaurants.
Last but not least the staff - very friendly, very helpful, not in your face but there if you need them.
We did not book this site just popped in on the way past. The views from the site are spectacular it has to be said however the site is not so great.
Pitches close to the Loch are on a steep slope(2 caravan's were having real problems when we were there), water pressure is very low. Showers, taps and dish washing facilities use the press system which only lasts seconds - very annoying.
Bar/restaurant was closed even though it was July and was advertised as being open!
The half mile pebble beach they advertise is a bit of a con! One entry point and you only get a tiny bit of cobble beach, the rest you have to risk life and limb to scramble down to (I have the bruises to prove it!).
Lots of complaints about all of the above and the response from the guy in the 'NESS 1' white transit (who clearly owned the site) was a shrug of his shoulders and said he only worked there! Not very customer friendly.
Positives: site was clean, lots of power points, 2 ladies shower's and cracking views.
Negatives: water in showers and dish washing area was a real pain, no bar, no restaurant as advertised, no where to exercise a dog, very small beach, price £22 a night is very steep for what you get and the most important point which I think sums things up - No refunds (this is posted in all toilets just so you are aware!).
A very nice site with a drive over drain to empty grey waste and hard standing pitches with electric hook up. When we arrived a pitch had been reserved for us but we were told if we didn't like it to go wherever we fancied which we did. The toilets/showers were spotless, the wash-up facilities are outside under a canopy, no other facilities on site but within walking distance of Fort Augustus and pub, fish and chip shop, local shop and post office. Friendly helpful staff, Wi-Fi not good. Did not see any child facilities but plenty of space to run around when we were there but the site wasn't busy.
