 This is the second time we had visited this site and, whilst the views over the loch are fantastic, the facilities on offer were less so. In particular the site offers bar and food facilities in peak periods. The last visit was in September and this time in June - which I consider to be peak periods but the bar was not available because 'the numbers on site did not warrant opening' - even though the site appeared to be about half full. If the site cannot provide these facilities they should not advertise them. Pitch size also were cramped with units quite close together and leaving little space to put out chairs etc. Otherwise the toilet facilities were just adequate and the cleaning regime for outside water sites seemed to consist of another coat of whitewash. Disappointed, we shall not use this site again.

Stayed here on the first night of a Highlands tour so we didn't have anything to compare it to. The site is convenient for Fort Augustus which is within easy walking distance. There is a convenience store, pubs and restaurants plus a takeaway in the village. Also a staircase lock which lowers the Caledonian Canal down to the level of Loch Ness. This is quite interesting in its own right. The site itself was well maintained with a clean modern toilet block. It is essentially a large grass field with pitches around the edge. It did have a bit of a soulless feel to it though. There were a couple of unattractive bunkhouses which you passed on the way to the camping field. It certainly served its purpose for a one night stay on the way to more interesting parts of the Highlands. However I wouldn't like to spend a week there.

We stayed here overnight whilst touring Scotland. We had a hard standing pitch right at the edge of the Loch. Gorgeous views. It was freezing cold and very windy but we enjoyed our stop over. We found the wardens very pleasant and helpful. We took a walk up to the waterfalls which were beautiful about a mile up the hill. There were only a couple of us braving the conditions at that time of year so we had the pick of the pitches. The toilet and shower block were immaculate. Would definitely return. No we didn't see Nessie although we were advised that this was more likely if we drank more whisky!

Using the Great Glen Canoe trail in our sea kayaks we were getting good at wild camping. Consternation when just before Fort Augusta we were told the camping area beside the locks was closed.
We were sent on to the commercial site which when towing boats on trailers wasn't easy. Caused traffic problems on the bridge. But no one seemed bothered.
At first the £8 seemed rather steep but to find a shelter to dry kit, cook food and sit and read was just brilliant. Rain lashed, winds gusted and kit dried under the generous eaves.
At night the grass was soft and well drained despite the downpours and a request to leave the car for a couple of days whilst we finished the paddle was regarded as quite usual.
The shower / toilet room was 5 star, clean, warm and most welcome. As much hot as you could want and washing up sinks outside.
Money well spent
I paid the same amount for a field in Pembrokeshire with no showers and a cold toilet. Wild camping is ok but this was class.
And I personally think a per head fee is fair.

Great location in the middle of nowhere on the Loch Ness shore. Staff are friendly and the site is very well maintained. Nice bar/restaurant. We didn't eat there but the meals looked reasonable and were of a good size. Drinks no more than you would pay in a pub.
If you are into your water activities then there is probably quite a lot to do from this site as they have their own pier.
I was hoping that there would be some cycle tracks around the Loch but sadly there wasn't. The only cycle track there was, was over a busy road and then a steep 100m climb. Sadly the climb was of the pushing bike variety to get to the start point. Not really feasible with two children of 8 & 11. Going for a walk would take you the same way but you would be in woodland and have no view of the Loch.
We visited the Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition but felt a little ripped off by the experience and would not recommend it to anyone. It is informative in the form of 5 or six short films that take about 30 minutes to see. You then say to yourself what next for that £20 for a family of four. The sad answer is, is that there is nothing else other than retail outlets. It gets a 5* rating from the Scottish Tourist Board and for the love of me I cannot see why unless it is being awarded for being one of the best ways to extract money from the tourists.
I probably wouldn't return to the campsite as there just isn't enough to do for our family in the area. At £26pn we also thought it was quite expensive for what it was. It was also the only place in Scotland where we had midges this year and so remember your repellent.

You really can't fault the location of this site. It is, quite literally on the banks of Loch Ness as its name suggests.
The site itself is good with generous and level hard standing pitches. Units are in two rows facing the Loch so roughly half of the pitches are right by the water. There are also some 'Hobbits' that you can rent as accommodation which look like fun.
We were just there on a stopover and it was a Sunday evening so there was no food on in the bar. A shame as this was the only site we stayed on that had a bar.
Toilets and showers were OK.
Reception was efficient and there were plenty of information leaflets on offer. They were selling a VERY limited range of food (a few tins of soup from memory) so go prepared - especially if its a Sunday.

The site is now well sign posted so should be easier to find. The pitches are plenty big enough for big units and awning. Water and power at each pitch. Clean toilets. I find this a very quiet site.
The village has two shops which have most things one might need. Very relaxing sitting by the canal. Good pubs, chip shop and eating places in the center. I have visited this sight several times and would recommend it for a chilled out weekend. EHU seemed a bit steep at 4 quid compared to one fifty or two quid at other sites.

Stayed for 5 nights in July 2012. Lovely site with fantastic views over Loch Ness especially from a loch side pitch.
Site kept nice and tidy. Only down side is the shower block - very poor showers as, if more than one person having a shower water has no pressure and runs down the back wall. We used the shower in our motorhome.
Lovely walk into Invermoriston where the hotel serves lovely meals - a little expensive but very nice food. Small shop in Invermoriston but very limited on supplies probably the nearest big shops are Port Augustus.
Food on site is okay. Overall a good site and I will be back just needs toilet/shower blocks updated.

The site is fairly new (taking over from another site a little further out the road to Fortwilliam).
It's a short stroll into the town of Fort Augustus, which is a pleasant enough place to visit. There's not much in it, but activity around the flight of locks is interesting, and certainly not the sort of thing you'll find in the middle of many towns.
The site has about 40 hard-standing pitches with electric around the outside of a large field, with plenty of space in the middle for more touring units.
It also has a separate field for tents for walkers and cyclists, and as it turnedout canoe-ists!
It also houses a hostel, the the site caters well for a range of tourists.
Very plush facilities, though the tiled floor looks like it could be very slippery when wet.

We stayed here with our touring caravan for 1 week and had we not pre-booked the week we probably wouldn't have stayed that long. All pitches are hardstanding and it is on the shorefront of loch ness which was beautiful. A small campsite with 2 toilet blocks. It also has a small bar which isnt open all year.
We went with our dogs and this park, although it allows dogs, is not dog-friendly. There is a small beach just off the site which dogs aren't allowed on, they are not allowed in the small bar area and there are no dog walks available directly from the site. We had to take the car whenever we had to walk the dogs! During our stay, no attempt was made to fix the dish washing facility where there was no hot water at all during our stay and we had to wash our dishes in our caravan. The showers, although newish, were not maintained or cleaned to a good standard. The plughole kept pushing up hair etc. As it was not draining and we were standing in a puddle with other peoples hair! Also, no washing machines were available during our stay as it wasn't working and although we were offered that the owner's wife would do our washing if we required, at a cost, we really did not fancy handing over our smalls so we just waited till our next site to do the washing. When we complained to the owner about this he was extremely rude and raised his voice when we and fellow campers complained about the same issues.
A bit of advice, if you are given a space on the shorefront and you have a touring van, only attempt this if you have a motormover as we didn't and we got stuck! The brother of the owner and another staff member gave us a push out thankfully and they were very polite and helpful. The pitches are on a slight slope towards the loch so suit a campervan or caravan with a motormover. Also, you will need blocks to prop up the van due to the slope.
We enjoyed the scenery and the peacefulness but due to the other problems experienced, we will not be returning. The nightly cost, I cannot remember but it wasn't cheap and definitely wasn't worth it.
We would not recommend if you have dogs and in general would not recommend this site for a long stay, overnight stay would be ok.

Our first visit to this site. Struggled finding the site to begin with. As previously mentioned, the sign does not say 'Cumberland's campsite' so we ended up having to drive a mile or so to turn round and then ask a local.
Lovely little site. The reception was closed so we found a pitch and got set up (we had our pick of the pitches as there was only 1 other tent there).
Toilet block is very nice, new and clean. There were only 3 showers though, which I can see being a bit of a problem when the campsite is full.
We went into town (a 5 minute walk) and had a mooch around. Watched a boat being taken up the locks. Coincidentally it was a fishing boat from Pittenweem, only a few miles or so up the coast from our home town! Fort Augustus is pretty much just a tourist town though, so be prepared for lots of them!
When we came back the reception was open and we paid our fee. To be honest, at first we thought they had charged us incorrectly. £16 a night for 2 people in a 2/3 man tent seems a bit excessive. Especially considering the time of year. We did end up spending 2 nights at this campsite, costing us £32 in total. I don't think we would return because of this. Usually campsites charge by tent size not per person. By this theory, if there had been 3 of us in the tent it would have cost us £24 for a night! Something doesn't seem right there!
Apart from that it is a lovely site. Perhaps as it is new they will iron out some of the problems and re-evaluate the pricing.

Spent one night here on the way home and was not impressed!
Firstly, there are no signs for Cumberlands on the main road! It would be helpful if the site was properly signposted and/or some mention was made on the website that it's attached to Stravaiger's Lodge.
The lady who got us checked in at reception was friendly enough - when I asked how close our allocated pitch was to the toilet block (I was travelling with someone with limited mobility) she moved us to (and these were her exact words) 'pitch 28 or 29 - whichever one you think is best'.
We initially chose pitch 29 (a grass pitch with EHU) as it was the closest to the toilets, only to be chased off by the man who rides around in the golf buggy! He didn't want our campervan on the grass (fair enough, but we were told to pick our pitch) and then made a point of watching my every manoeuvre while I moved. Not amused and did not appreciate being made to feel as if I was breaking the rules.
The regular 'patrols' by the guy in the golf buggy are a tad excessive in my opinion.
The pitches are level and a good size but the campsite is essentially just a big field and totally lacks atmosphere.
The toilet block was clean.
We paid £3 for wifi that didn't work - reception was awful and made it completely worthless.
The site is handy for walking into Fort Augustus and there are a few ok-ish restaurants nearby.
It's a nice site but overpriced.

Stayed one night on this site. Pitches are large with water and electric.
No water waste disposal at pitches only one point near entrance to site and is the same hole in the ground (literally a piped hole in the ground)as chemical toilet disposal.
Very unhygienic in my opinion. The village, five minutes walk is very, very expensive and clearly designed to extract as much money as possible from tourists.
It is interesting watching the boats navigate the locks but in my opinion not worth the cost of staying on this site.
I would not return

We received a warm and friendly reception upon arrival. The caravan area is behind Stravaigers Lodge.
The first field behind the lodge is for campers without cars and the second field is for caravans, motorhomes and tents with a car. The pich was gravel and quite big.
We had our own water tap on our pitch. There is no shop on site but it is only a 5 minute walk into Fort Augustus.
The toilet and shower block is immaculate. The showers are huge and clean and there is underground heating. The best showers we have come across so far (and this is our 29th site on a round UK tour).
Fort Augustus has lots of shops, pubs and restaurants. The Caledonian canal with its locks are quite a tourist attraction.
It is fascinating to watch when they open the locks to let the boats through.
There is quite a nice walk along the canal towpath to Kytra Lock.
