Holiday park at the foot of 'The Ben'; Ben Nevis, located next to the River Lochy. A short drive out of Fort William, but you cannot see the town from the site. There are a number of lodges and static caravans, from external appearances very well kept.
The area for tents is very large and flat, we didn't have to book in advance as there was a huge amount of space. The facilities are very clean and well kept. I personally didn't like the fixed head showers, you couldn't adjust the temperature yourself and they were automated, shutting off after around 20 seconds, so you had to keep one hand on the button.
The on site shop was well stocked with lots of essential items, and one excellent idea was small bags of soap powder, enough for two or three washes, perfect if you didn't want to buy a whole box.
Staff were very welcoming and helpful, I couldn't have wished for a better reception.
A payphone is also on site.
There is a small playground for young children on the site and there is easy access to the river side, although fishing is not permitted as the river is private property.
There is a leisure centre and swimming pool around 1 mile towards town (which is about 2 miles away).
What stood out most is that after over 24 hours of solid and often quite heavy, rain, the flat site remained intact, no sign of mud or sogginess at all.
Even cars, vans and a coach, all driven carefully across the grass, was not enough to churn up the grass.
Although we have only stayed at around 6 campsites around the UK so far, this is the best one we have stayed at.
The price was also very good, this was a bank holiday weekend, and we had been quoted over £100 at a site in Scarborough, compared with £42 for two nights at Lochy.
Stayed here for just the one night on our way back down south. They wouldn't accept reservations, saying they would have plenty of room and that turned out to be the case. We had a choice of flat hardstanding pitches with electric hook-up. The site was rather bland - everything worked well, the shower / toilet block very clean and spacious but it all seemed a bit soulless after some of the other sites we've been to.
Unfortunately the weather was the worst of our holiday fortnight and rained for two days so we were unable to enjoy the many outdoor pursuits in the area, including the Nevis Range. We walked into Fort William - at least 30 minutes along the main road. I'm sure there must be a short cut or a bus. The town itself is pretty uninspiring - lots of cheap tatty shops and a few pubs and cafes. There was a continental market on while we were there which was fun.
We have just spent a few days here and it was brilliant. Stunning backdrop of Ben Nevis every day with breakfast! I agree with all the other reviews praising the friendliness, professionalism and cleanliness at this well run site. Nothing is too much trouble. It has a well stocked shop where you can buy fresh bread rolls and the daily paper! It has camping items and many things you may need. We were given information freely and enthusiastically on tourism and a problem with our camper necessitating a visit to a Fort William supplier which we found and fixed easily. The showers, loos, dishwashing etc all 10 out of 10, lovely hot water everywhere. Spotlessly clean throughout!
There is a river running along the perimeter of the site which is quite beautiful and has some access for walking along. We were subjected to a lot of rain so it wasn't suitable to walk along it because of the weather. Fort William is a small town with a central hive of activity in it's main street. There are typical Scottish gift shops for tourists and some pubs and lots of places to eat. Parking was easy just behind the main street where the public loos are and can't be missed as have a huge WC in capitals on the building. Disabled persons can park free almost everywhere we went, very different from English car parks where you still pay regardless. We tried to use the library in Fort William for the internet as none on site, that would be nice please? The library was busy and only allows 15 minutes at a time and then you start again in a queue, you must take ID as well. In Peebles we used the library and they had no regulations, on as long as you like, no ID and only sign a visitors form. Apparently all areas vary in Scotland. In the end we used Macdonalds free wi-fi but you need a good battery! There is a big Morrisons next to Macdonalds and a Lidls so the town is excellent for most things and you can walk along the sea front for quite a long way and it is lovely (Boat trips are available.) The campsite is just outside of the town about 2 miles so an easy run. We experienced the Nevis range, using the gondola but really would have loved to do so much more as there is tons to do outdoors If the weather is reasonable. A very good campsite would happily recommend it.
Yet another visit to this wonderful site, children's play area situated away from the tent field, clean toilet and shower block with free showers, there is dishwashing and plenty of stand pipes around the place so no great distance to lug water.
The centre of the tent field seems to attract water if there has been heavy rain so you're best sticking to the edges unless its dry and likely to remain that way.
Just spent a week here. Having travelled from Lancashire on a scorching day arrived tired and a bit frazzled. The welcome we received and the pitch that we were able to choose for ourselves soon bucked us up. The owners cannot do enough to help. Even allowing entrance to the shop via the reception on an evening when we arrived back after the shop had closed and needing to pick up our icepacks. (free by the way) All the facilities were very good although dish wash area was a little small (2 sinks) Plenty of hot water. We had a pitch with hook up at the bottom of the site, nice and flat and very reasonably priced.
Fantastic views of the mountains from our tent. Would certainly recommend this site.
Stayed here for our 3rd time this year however, this was for the Mountain Bike World cup this time so wasn't sure what to expect.
The place was a lot busier than normal however we didn't feel squashed together, pretty much most people had quietened down after midnight and the facilities coped well (just plan when you are going for a shower or for washing dishes and you'll be fine). Although the place was pretty maxed out there was still plenty of room for everyone :) Great location for the buses which picked us up at the school but if you are going for other things you are only 5 minutes outside of Fort William and on the road to Mallaig / Corpach.
After the event place was its usual peaceful self :) great site, owners really are so friendly, showers are great, facilities always clean, ground is great for pitching a tent, would not hesitate to recommend again and will def be staying again next year! Views of Ben Nevis are amazing!
This was an epic site, Loch Lhinnie 2 minutes away where you can go for a walk or fish or just sit and watch time go by. There is a fairly biggish kids area with swings and climbing frame and shoot and fenced in with a door style to take you onto the beach further along. The tent area is nice although we had a trailer tent we managed to get a part where we were half hard standing and other grass. Each space had a hook-up, toilets (were free) were clean and cleaned each morning. The shop was adequately stocked which was beside the laundrette which was big and again beside that was a ball pool and toys for under 5's. The harry potter train goes past once a day to Mallaig and back, the drive to Mallaig is nice and scenery lovely. Stop off at Glen Finnan and further up there is a we church you can go into which is about 3-4 min drive on the left. The site staff are friendly and you see them about tending the site. There are log type cabins and statics with lovely views. There's not much to fault here apart from the other review given is the weather, when it's wet it dreich and drab. 15 mins drive away there is a swimming pool (indoor) in Fort William if your going to get wet get wet there.
Excellent place! There were 15 of us who arrived in a go. We got welcomed professionally, were given advice about the area, and told about the facilities available to us. The site is beautiful, with amazing shots of the Ben. We had no problems with other campers. The site is right next to a river, which has a pebbled bank, where you can go for strolls etc. Easy to get to as well, directions on the website were spot on. Only downside was the weather, but we can't blame the campsite for that! Thank you again, Ian and Anne!
Stay on this site nearly every year. Friendly people. £15 per night with electric excellent value.
Love the toilet & shower block, warm and free showers . Always clean.
Can park where you like which is a good advantage because many parks are not allowing this any more.
My favourite site in Fort William as the other two have become very impersonal.
