 Excellent site. Very well set out. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Views are stunning. During our month-long touring holiday we stayed here on two separate occasions as it was so well located.
It is a fair walk (about 2-3 miles into centre of Fort William). Take the signposted footpath it is a pleasant and quiet walk.
The Grog and Gruel Pub in the town is dog-friendly but expensive for food. The Indian Garden does an excellent takeaway.
The Morrisons store is the best ever, you can buy anything in there, great for topping up the fridge, etc. Before setting off on your travels again.
Will definitely return many times.

Our visit to Fort William was rather forced upon us when my husband took ill and was admitted to the Bedford Hospital. I was left with a car and a motorhome which were parked in a town car park. The hospital was extremely helpful in trying to locate a Caravan Park for me and I was unbelievably lucky to be sent to Lochy Holiday Park. I had to drive the car out to the Park as they do not accept telephone bookings, but the welcome I received and the concern shown was outstanding. We have had the motorhome for only a few months and I was worried because I had never driven it or set it up on site before, however, the charming lady on Reception called the wonderful Dennis who was despatched with me in my car to drive the motorhome back to the Park where he pitched it on a hardstanding pitch, big enough to take both the motorhome and the car. When I arrived back at the Park in the evening, I collected the keys from Reception (which is open until about 10pm every night – how good is that) and Dennis came along to ensure I was able to connect electricity, gas, etc. The following day he got the TV up and working for me too. I never did find out the names of the other 3 very helpful and charming people who manned Reception, but they too went above and beyond the call of duty. Each day they were keen to know how my husband was progressing, stressing that he was in an excellent hospital (he was) and offering reassurance at every turn. I ended up having to stay 5 nights before he was transferred to a hospital nearer where we live. I will never forget the help I received from complete strangers at a difficult time. As well has having the best owners/wardens Lochy is a beautiful site, nestled as it is in the sight of Ben Nevis with easy access to Fort William. It is very well maintained and the toilet/shower blocks were spotless, laundry facilities were first class and the shop was so well stocked. When my husband has recovered we will certainly be visiting this 5 star ++ site again.

We stayed at this camp in July with the intention of climbing Ben Nevis.
The camp was fine and clean although a little noisy at night but we didn't really mind that. Toilets and showers are very clean with plenty of cubicles. I never had to wait for a shower. There is a laundry and drying rooms for washing and also a little shop.
The park is spacious and tents don't have to be too close. One little complaint though: On arrival the staff didn't know if there were electric hook ups available and that we would have to search ourselves. It would have been nice if they would have known and shown us to our pitch.
We paid 19. 00 per night for two adults and a child including electric which is exceptional value for money. We recommend it and we will come back again.

This was the first ever time I had camped and I was wary of camping but from the first second of arriving at this site I knew I was going to enjoy camping.
We had not planned to stop here but as it was late we decided to stop here. Arriving at 10. 30 pm was not a problem for the owners of the site and they welcomed us in with no problem despite having to ring the bell to their home to make sure it was ok to stop.
The site itself was pristine. The location was just superb.
Driving to a location to pitch the tent was allowed and we found a spot no problem. Located just trees away from the river made the camping feel even more rural.
The toilet and shower blocks were spotless and there was certainly enough of them.
Access to Fort William was easy enough, I am just disappointed we could only stay for a short while.

Residing at the Lochy Holiday Park in our newly bought tent was an absolute pleasure. Its relaxed and welcoming feel made our 3 day break a complete joy.
We were staying at the camp while climbing Ben Nevis in July 2011. The location was excellent, being approximately 5 minutes from Fort William town centre made it easily accessible from the train station, as well as having lots of shops/supermarkets around the town (Morrison's).
As for the camp itself, I was delighted by the overall cleanliness of the area, the grass where we were camping was top notch as well as the showers and toilets. The only negative I can possibly pick out was the toilet doors have no hangers on the back for when you get up in the night and need to take a coat, apart from that, I was pleased with the cleanliness.
The staff are friendly and willing to help with information about the area, calling taxis etc. There is a small shop based within the camp selling heaters and basic camping supplies and food. This is brilliantly priced and the staff very friendly and polite which adds to the general relaxed feeling of the area.
Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is in the area. Although my uncle paid, I was told its very good value for money and was a pleasure to spend my 3 days there.
Thanks to everyone who plays a part in running the holiday park.

We were very impressed with the Lochy Holiday Park, nestled beneath the awe inspiring mountains and beside a river.
We found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful; even when their shop was closed, there was no problem getting us some tea bags - which I was desperate for after our walk up Ben Nevis!
The shop itself is extremely well stocked with a wide range of food (including meat for barbecues) and even parts for tents and cooking stoves.
The site is large but it wasn't very busy when we were there, it was very easy finding a pitch and the site was very quiet.
The toilet facilities were very impressive; they were clean and, importantly, there were lots of toilets and showers. However the temperature is not adjustable.
We found the site to be excellent value for money in a good location (5 minute drive into town). We were very impressed. Well worth staying there.

This was our first camping trip to Scotland. We had a very friendly reception from the owners. The site facilities were well maintained and always found to be very clean. The site offered fantastic views of the Nevis range.
Very well situated as a base for exploring the area. The camping area was flat and there appeared to be plenty of room and it was very quiet.
A couple of things could have been improved eg: Recycling bins for glass, tin, plastic etc also brushes in the toilet cubicles as sometimes you were greeted with skidpans which stayed until the cleaner got round to removing them. A
ll in all a great site would definitely go again and would recommend to anybody.

We have been to Fort William many times, and always used the other sites. Our mistake!
We arrived without booking, and when I said I hadn't been to the site before, the friendly lady on reception invited us to have a look round first.
What a gem, with a good view of Ben Nevis and a nice riverside walk on the edge of the site.
We were able to use a drive through hard standing pitch although it meant parking on the grass beside the caravan. There might not have been much room had we wanted to put up the awning.
Plenty of clean toilets and showers although the shower bases seem to be one large communal drain!
The shop was well stocked and the general appearance of the site was immaculate.
All in all a great base for exploring the Lochaber area.
An 'Eaglewatch cruise' on Loch Shiel is highly recommended

Just come back from a week at this site and have to say what a fantastic time we had. This is quite simply the best site we have stayed on with fantastic views of Ben Nevis.
Staff all very welcoming and helpful. Very reasonable charges. Charged for the number of occupants not the capacity of our tent. Despite our tent being marginally bigger than the max allowed, no quibbles and allowed to pitch where we wanted.
Toilets and showers very clean and lots of free hot water. No charge for freezing ice packs.
Modern laundry facilities, again reasonably priced.
Only four minor improvements could be made namely:
At present showers switch off every 7 seconds requiring you to constantly press the button.
Dish washing facilities a bit cramped with only two sinks in a very tight space.
Laundry closes at 8.30pm a bit too early if you have been out all day.
No recycling facilities for rubbish.
I must emphasise these are only minor irritations and I recommend this site without hesitation.

We stayed here for the third time on our annual trip up to Skye. We find it really breaks the journey up. The welcome is very friendly when you arrive and nothing is too much trouble. The site itself is peaceful, clean, spacious and in the most beautiful surroundings, right at the foot of Ben Nevis.
The view is wonderful! The drive to Achintee farm (a starting point for the climb) is about a 5 minute car journey away. Fort William is about 10 minutes drive away, and has a huge Morrisons and a MacDonald's. There are plenty of outdoor shops and gift shops, and some nice bars/restaurants that we have found to offer good value food.
The journey from Fort William to Mallaig by train is a must do, and there are lots of other things to explore in the area, such as Neptune's Staircase, the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre and Glenfinnan monument which is about 15 miles away. Incidentally those who stay here before getting the ferry to Skye will find Mallaig is about an hours drive away, but very easy to get to from this camp site.
The facilities on the site are spotless, and in the few times we have stayed here (usually two nights at beginning of the holiday, and two nights at the end)we have found it to be very consistant. There are lovely hot showers, plenty of loo's, a dish washing room and a laundry.
There is plenty of room on the camp field to pitch up and even when it's busy it never feels crowded. The grass is flat and soft and easy to pitch a tent on. You can also park your car right next to the tent so loading and unloading is very easy. As previously mentioned, when it rains the water drains away quickly so it never becomes a mud bath! There is a lovely river walk next to the site which offers some interesting rocks and pebbles for those interested in geology.
There is a very well stocked shop on site that is open throughout most of the day selling essentials and newspapers etc, and in reception there is plenty of local info and updates on the weather etc for those wishing to go walking or climb Ben Nevis.
As with any campsite in the highlands, midge repellent is a must, we found Avon's Skin So Soft worked a treat!
This is a camp site we will always return to for friendliness, good value for money and excellent facilities. We paid £29.20 for two nights in a large tent for the two of us. :-)
