 We visited this site on a tour around the Highlands and it was our favourite of several visited. Immediately on arriving you are overcome with a sense of peace and tranquillity as the surrounding views and scenery work their magic. Pitches are far apart and give the impression that you're the only people there.
There didn't appear to be much in the surrounding area, a small shop, pub, but we were happy to enjoy the beauty of the site. In fact we loved it so much we extended our holiday so we could squeeze in another night here.

We visited Faichemard Farm twice on our recent tour of Scotland (one scheduled in advance, the other, not) and I think it’s fair to say that of the nine sites we stayed at, this was our favourite. We loved the way the pitches were dotted about, each one with its own picnic table. As a result, there was LOTS of room between pitches. We made use of the laundry; £2 for the washing machine token and 20p for the tumble drier for 15 mins. Although being up near reception it was a bit of a climb up the hill. (Still, we were here for the walking anyway!)
As previous reviews have mentioned, there’s not much in the way of shops nearby, although there is a general food shop a mile or two outside Invergarry at the well of the 7 heads. There’s a rather nice butcher further away at Fort Augustus where we bought two very nice haggises. Fort Augustus is a good place to see the locks along the Caledonian Canal where it goes into Loch Ness. We had a nice but pricey pub lunch at “The Bothy” whilst we were there.
Invergarry Hotel had a good range of food too, but we only popped in for a drink when coming to the end of a walk that we had done from the campsite. The best real ale place we found up to this point on our tour was the floating pub and restaurant at Laggan Locks, called The Eagle. The food was excellent too. You had to book and order your food a few days in advance so that they could be certain to buy the correct quantity of fresh fish each day. The result was worth it.
Back to the site; it really is as picturesque as in the photos, with the lake and Monet type bridge being particularly pretty. My wife had great fun painting that! The drawback to having the lake was, of course, the midges, which meant we couldn’t sit out comfortably at certain times of day. I would also agree with a previous reviewer who mentioned the waste water disposal, which was a little difficult due to the lifting involved. There could usefully have been a few more water points, but at £15 a night this was excellent value for money.
All in all then, a beautiful, very quiet site (no road noise!) and an excellent base for exploring the superb lochs and hills of the surrounding area. If we’re ever back in this area we would stay here again without a doubt.

Superb location with masses of space between units. Great views. Toilets and showers are clean with plenty of hot water.
Nearby Invergarry Hotel has great atmosphere and serves excellent food using mainly local produce.
Handy also for a trip into Fort Augustus and the impressive canal locks. The road around Loch Ness is much quieter on the eastern shore.

A lovely site with spacious pitches around a lake with lots of hungry ducks. The site is well signposted & in a lovely location with views around the valley - they even looked good in the rain. As there was rain & lake the midges were out in force in the evenings which didn't bother us but we could see the campers in their midgy nets. Don't forget to arrive with plenty of food as very few shops with anything other than basics.

Can't fault this site, beautiful location and nice people. Be sure to have supplies with you as no shops locally. TomTom took us to end of road. Only slight problem was disposal of grey water waste, this is difficult due to height of drain, otherwise fully recommend a stay here.

Can't speak highly enough of this site. Mrs. Grant was very friendly and welcoming. Pitches are unregimented, dotted about the large site, rather than in rows. The best layout of the six sites we visited, plenty of space. At £15 a night, great value.
Facilities all clean and tidy, showers, toilets, dishwashing, sanitary disposal etc.
Take your supplies with you, you will be well and truly in the countryside, peace and quiet in spades. The Invergarry Hotel is only a couple of miles away and serves excellent meals.

This was our first visit to Scotland in our Motorhome and we choose Faichemard Farm, because of the reviews and the location being close to Loch Ness. All I can say is that this was the perfect campsite for peace and tranquillity, we could not have chosen a better place to stay.
There was a toilet/shower block with 2 male and 2 female units and although the campsite was full it was never a problem using them - they were kept very clean. The stunning scenery surrounding the site was breathtaking, with beautiful walks within a stones throw. We did however have a little car that we used to travel around and explore in.
The owners we extremely friendly and helpful. Only downside, nowhere close by for doing any real grocery shopping, apart from a local garage with limited stock, so make sure you take everything you need. All in all would definitely return again (and again!)

Well - you feel as if you have your own little plot of land in the Scottish highlands here. You have so much individual space.
Toilet blocks and showers superb - loads of room.
Really warm greeting by hostess.
Scenic views all around. The natural beauty is wonderful, but the effort put into making the campsite a pretty one shows. With the most magnificent duckpond and bridge, well mown and lush pitches, you each have more than enough space - plus your own picnic benches too.
Would highly recommend.
Not a sight of a midge.

This really does have to be the best site we have stayed at in winter time. Nearly all the pitchs are on a different elevation and you have absolutely plenty of room between pitches. If it wasn’t for the travelling distance (and midges in the summer) we would come here more often. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The views were fantastic; I can’t praise this site enough. Toilets were clean and modern. The only negative point was as someone else previously mentioned, the water pressure was on the low side so you needed to allow quite a few minutes to fill a 40 litre water container! – However, this gave you more time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. We will definitely go back to this site when we can overcome the thoughts of the agonising 10 hour drive!

A very nice incredibly quiet campsite. Quite basic and our pitch was a way from the toilet block, but overall very nice indeed. Not a campsite if you like to sit and talk into the night as the site warden told us off as we got him out of bed at about 10.30pm for being a bit too noisy!
Lots of room in the showers, and generally very nice indeed.
The only downside would be millions of midges which seem to be impervious to every known brand of repellent available!

What a gem! Lovely location, great for exploring, we did 600 miles+ and saw some amazing scenery. Two toilet blocks always very clean, lots of hot water, chemical disposal and fresh water points. Also laundry facilities and freezer up by the house. All pitches very well spread out allowing peace and privacy.
Resident ducks and some pigs and piglets add to the back to nature feel about the place. Pub about 20 minutes walk away and Fort Augustus is best for local food shopping-the store has fresh French bread and a deli, also a butcher.
Would highly recommend getting out and about if you can, we did the Applecross drive, well worth the hair-raising mountain pass, fresh seafood lunch at the Applecross Inn. Would go back for sure, wish we would could have stayed for longer!

A lovely campsite would recommend for those seeking peace and quiet. Lovely pitches in a spectacular setting! only £12 per night. Downside was that it is out the way but this does add to its charm. Nearest pub 2 miles away. Midge was a problem but remember it is Scotland and they are everywhere.

We stayed here for 3 nights last week. It was really easy to find, well signed posted from the main road but off the beaten track enough to keep it secluded, which suited us perfectly. Large area with small number of pitches all level with well cut grass and a picnic table each. Single toilet and shower block which was always clean with plenty of hot water and free to use. Also a small washing up area. At the reception there was a washing machine/dryer as well as a freezer, we didnt use them as only here for a few days but sure will be useful for others. Really nice to be an adult only site, very peaceful and fellow campers all friendly. Also a couple of dead cute little ducklings!
The area was quiet with good views and good access to all the main areas of the west coast as well as Loch Ness, Inverness and Aviemore. Good hotel about a miles walk down the road. Food was excellent and staff were friendly also has its own unique beer which was very good!
Fort William about 30 mins away by car with supermarket and other shopping and take aways etc.
Overall a great little site with everything you could want for a holiday without kids! 12 a night we thought was reasonable. Only one downside, I have 87 midge bites.So get some repellent before you go!

Great site only problem was 2 week holiday over all to soon. Best site I have been on in the 2 years we have been touring. Looking forward to going back next year. On the down side Fort Agustus is the closest shopping while you have to travel to Fort William for a Supermarket

If there was a site that I had to live on permanently then this would be the one. It's adult only so nice and quite. Situated on steep hillside overlooking Glen garry all the pitches are spacious and private and the views over the mountains are fantastic. Electric hook ups on most pitches and all seemed to have own table and seating.(by the way if you are using a tent the pitches for these looked excellent, plenty of space and close to facilities)
Fresh water supplies are handy and there's a nice little lake in centre of site. Plenty of hot water in loos, dish washing area and showers and whilst the buildings are basic they are all clean. Didn,t see any facilities for emptying chemical loos but we had only booked in as stop over on way to Skye so didn't need it. (We went out of our way to revisit on way back though and were sad to leave)
If you need entertaining then this site is probably not for you but if you travel to Scotland for peace, beauty and to be close to nature then you have found your niche.
