One can see that money has been spent on this two year old site. We had not pre booked and arrived mid afternoon. The young lady at reception was not very helpful and was not interested in making us welcome.
The tents are on the large grass area in the centre with the hard standings around the outside. The toilet/shower facilities are located at the entrance and were not cleaned in the time there!
My wife felt a little vulnerable walking to and from the facilities block. With a modern tiled floor, (slippery when wet) and when having a shower, the shower water was throughout the cubicle and coming through from the cubicle next door, as a result, there was nowhere dry to get dressed!
We didn't see any play area for children.
There was one man riding around in his golf buggy checking each pitch as people left. My wife and I enjoyed our morning coffee watching him drive around from one vacated pitch to the next with out getting out of his buggy.
Nice location and a lot of money spent, but the owners need to stay a night in a tent or caravan them selves to realise the short comings of this site. Attention to detail just not there!
This site is basically a field, there's no warm atmosphere here like you get on other sites. When we arrived we were made to sound stupid when we pointed out the sign at the entrance has the wrong name on it.
The woman on reception was dour. She was quite happy to take our money though! there's a man who constantly drives round on a golf buggy, it made us feel like we were being checking up on
The toilets were clean as were the showers but not enough pressure in them to work sufficiently, no signs that we could see for where to put your rubbish but found a bin when we were leaving.
I think most people just use this site as a stop off point then head elsewhere as most people that had arrived the day after us had packed up and moved on on the day we left.
We were intending staying here for a week and touring the area but after 2 days we left, would I stay here again? no
This site is only two years old and I have visited quite a few times. The site is nicely laid out and there is plenty of room on pitches, which are very generous. It was quite away to the toilet block from where I was pitched but that is only a small moan.
The site is well maintained and the toilet blocks are clean. Television isn't bad but the site has got TV points but there for freesat and you require satellite cable as opposed to the normal TV Ariel.
It is a nice walk into Fort Augustus we I could sit all day watching the locks opening and closing on the Caledonian Canel.
There are several nice pubs who serves good mails and they are dog friendly in the bars.
If you are looking for a quiet peaceful time a quiet site close to the local amenities then this site is for you, we love it already and will be returning in the very near future.

We stayed at Loch Ness Holiday park over Easter weekend. Just two adults, sleeping in one of the wonderful hobbits.
We had a brilliant weekend, the hobbits are warm and comfortable for two, but I think might be a bit of a squeeze for four although there are four beds There is no storage space at all. Just a small fridge and heater, perfect for our needs.
Showers / toilets / washing up areas were immaculately clean and well kept. The site is in a beautiful spot and we woke on our first morning at 5am to the sunrise over the loch which was as smooth as a millpond creating stunning reflections and amazing photographic memories.
Location is great for walkers. We visited many lovely local attractions, The Waterfall at Foyers and Urquhart Castle. Had an amazing sunday dinner at The Dores Inn ( on the south west bank of lochness)
Site staff we extremely helpful and friendly and we will definitely visit again
This is our second visit to this site and nothing is very different to the first time. The sign is still wrong on the entrance (At least we knew this time and didn't have to turn the caravan around on the lane!)
The facilities are no different although there are now more hardstanding piches. The reception is a bit like an after thought and we had to search out someone to book us in.
There was a rally on the next field but they weren't noisy. It could be a real gem this place but as others have mentioned its the little things that count.
The toilet emptying point is on the entrance drive - a fair distance from the pitches - you wouldn't want to carry it there. There is one large wheelie bin by the entrance and no dog bins.
We felt a bit uncomfortable there this year as there seemed to be a lot of people hanging around reception, litle lighting at night and no security. Perhaps proper wardens who know about caravans and motorhomes would help.
As I said it could be fabulous as there are very few good sites in this area.
We went up in Scotland for a wedding and stayed at 6 sites within our 2 week break (there and back to Kent)
This site was the best in terms of location with fantastic views over Lochness. Our pitch was right on the waters edge, we spent two nights here
The toilets and showers were clean and tidy and the site is well kept,
The staff were very helpful and friendly.
The only down side was the bar was closed which we were not told when booking, therefore no food or drink on site, which meant after a busy day of siteseeing we then had to go out again to get food instead of relaxing by Lochness,
That said we had a wonderful couple of days here and would go back.
Beautiful setting on the shore of Loch Ness. Clean but basic toilet and shower facilities. We came just before the season officially started so the on site bar/restaurant was shut. The nearest village (Invermoriston) is a good 20 minute walk away - again the local inn was closed, but there was a very friendly and well equipped 'corner store'/post office. Fort Augustus is a long walk on the Great Glen Way - over 3 hours each way (taking into account a long and permanent diversion due to fallen trees in the forest).
A good place for a limited stop over, hard to explore the local area with a motorhome as the roads are pretty tight! Good base for exploring if you have a car or are willing to cycle.
Beautiful site looking over Loch Ness. We were pitched right at the loch side. Pitches are hardstanding with EHU. £18.00 per night, no charge for dogs. The Loo block further in and has 2 loos and 1 shower.
There are also 3 new showers at the end of the block. There is another block just at the gate. The showers are free, push button non adjustable but a good flow and just the right temperature. Only complaint is that the shower tray does not drain quickly and you end up standing in 2 inches of water.
There are 10 new hobbit cabins this year. Busy site even for September, quiet at night. Well lit. Clean and tidy site. The stones of the hard standing are very deep and the caravan mover groans a bit trying to move caravan. I wouldn't like to have to push a caravan.
New childs play area. Fort William 35 miles away and Inverness 28miles away. 2 small supermarkets/shops in Fort Augustus 4 miles away selling all you need.
Also cafes and pubs. Bar open on site serving meals but only in season. Wasn't open when we were there. Very chatty friendly lady showed us to our pitch.Would come again.

Having lost half our tent in high winds, with a mutinous wife and 2 kids, stopped at Loch Ness Caravan Park and booked into a Hobbit. Wow saved the holiday and probably the marriage! The site was clean, staff friendly and helpful. And the Hobbits were out of this world.
A cylindrical wooden cabin sleeping four with heater, fridge, kettle and a great view of the Loch with its own terrace.
The kids took the experience of staying in the Hobbit as a great adventure, as the site also has a purpose built climbing and play park and a beach with the fishing is free! I would fully recommend anyone planning to visit this area to consider the Hobbit option.
Site spacious and clean. Washing facilities also clean with plentiful hot water although sometimes queuing for showers and w.C's.
Very close to the village. Local supermarket and petrol garage in village (not late opening)food seemed to be stopped served at 9pm. Pubs very friendly and serving nice food.
Attractions in form of various cruises of loch ness. You can also watch the boats pass through the caledonian canal early morning.Apart from the annoying midges (head nets available from local garages etc. Pick one up on way ! ) a very enjoyable site
This is a lovely site, in a lovely location, with just a few problems which can be ironed out in time, seeing as it is new.
On the plus side: the site comprises one large level field with EHU aound the very edges, hard standing around the circular road, and general tent camping in the middle and everywhere else. This simple arrangement is great for kids, because they can see all the other campers and quickly run up to other children to play, within sight of the parents.
All around are views of the hills and mountains.
It is only a short walk away from Fort Augustus, with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, plus a few interesting and easy walks. You can take a boat cruise on Loch Ness from here, or just simply gaze at the view up the huge body of water from the shore beside the many layered system of canal locks.
I really loved this site, apart from the niggles.
On the negative side:
The signage is wrong. They still haven't Cumberland Campsite on the sign at the entrance, in spite of them telling a previous reviewer that it would be sorted soon. We went several miles out of our way looking for the place because of this, and we saw other motorhomes doing the same.
The customer service could be improved. We were charged for EHU on arrival, even though I said we didn't want it, and I had to go back to get a refund. Three members of the family faced me and argued with me about it,because my husband had mistakenly asked for it on the phone when booking.
The check out time is eleven. Most campsites have it at twelve - so why does this place have to be different? AND the toilet/shower block is closed and actually locked between 11 and half past, so if you are desperate for the loo, you are stuffed.
(When I went up to the block, I found a fleece top on the muddy ground outside the door and picked it up. The cleaner came to the door and said she had thrown it there because someone had left it in the gents).
On the shore, right on the shore! Little beach access to loch Pitches at front are sloping, so you will need blocks, probably two sets. 20 minutes walk to village of Invermoriston where there is a shop, hotel, coffee shop and craft shop. Invermoriston Falls are lovely too, just avoid the coach tours by walking through the wood to the Summer House. 'Nessies Lair' immaculate facility serving a good standard of food, cooked to order between 1830-2000. Nothing fancy but excellent service. Pool tables, darts, Sky tv. The facility is brilliant. Two shower/toilet blocks, basic and only one shower per sex, currently being extended and if anything to go by standard of bar area will be immaculate when done.
This site is only in its first year of operation with things like EHU and certain facilities coming “on stream” as the year has progressed. When we set out on our tour of Scotland we were unsure if the site would have EHU for our tent, but on arrival found that this had just been installed.
The site is part of the same business that runs the Stravaigers’s Lodge Hostel, as stated previously, and the camping fields are situated beyond the main lodge buildings. The clientèle were mainly vans and small backpacking tents that did not stay long and were obviously just travelling through. We were one of the only people to stay more than a few days.
The facilities consist of a main toilet and shower block that looks like it will house other facilities like washing machines and fridge and freezer at some point in the future. There are three (free) showers and three wash basins in each unit. Pot washing sinks are outside but under a canopy roof. As all this is brand new it is, needless to say, in excellent condition but there are areas around the block where grass needs planting to make good the ground where all the earth moving machinery has been at work.
The main camping field is on the flat and has a hard core track that runs in an oval shape round the middle of the field. EHU pitches and water points run around the outside of this field. There are some hard standing pitches for vans. We experienced the site in the worst of weather unfortunately (torrential rain and strong gale force winds), and with very few campers given the field size, it left a bit of a bleak impression. After a couple of days rain some areas started to become waterlogged, but did drain quickly once the rain eased of for a few hours. There are no kid’s facilities here.
We got hit hard by gales that blew the day before our departure. Upon arrival in rainy, but wind free conditions, I had pitched the tent simply to align up to the EHU and point outwards to the middle of the field. Broken poles later I now realise that paying attention to the direction of the average prevailing winds will be important here.
The site is situated a stone’s throw away from Fort Augustus and it was a real joy to be able to walk to this lovely place for a drink and meal. The site is ideally situated for Loch Ness, Inverness and surrounding area.
This site just needs a bit more time for it to get going. A few more facilities (that look like are already “work in progress”) and a bit of attention to detail: more refuse points with recycling if possible, better visibility of the water points and better signage, grassing over the areas where building work and pipe / cable laying has taken place. I’m sure that all this will be addressed soon and the site will become a good one and much visited considering where it is. And, when all’s said and done, I think the weather dampened (literally) my spirits a bit here, which was no fault of the site.
