We went there for 3 nights (2 adults + 2 children) and it was just great.
The customer service was great, very friendly staff, they did everything to help. I just had to call them or go to reception and they did everything to resolve any problems I had or answer any questions.
The overall location of the caravan park is just astonishing. You can see the Loch Linnhe to your left and Loch Eil to your right, where the view to Loch Eil I found better. In the background you can see a lot of mountains.
There is however no facility of transport there. You either have to take your car with you or get a Taxi every single time you want to go out. Especially if with small children, because the only way out is to walk on the grass next to a fast road and the nearest place is Corpach, which I would estimate to be min. 30min walk. The buses also go from Corpach only.
There is a small shop in the caravan park, which at my time (end October) was closed, so make sure you bring your own food with you. A laundry and a centre for children is also available, where children can play indoors. In the same building there is a WiFi hotspot, where you can use the Internet. However, you need to bring your own PC (or phone) since there are no computers there. The cost of £3 per day is also very reasonable.
A small playground for younger kids is located near the loch.
A place to park your boats is near the loch as well, so you can bring your boats with you, however they clearly state that there are no rescue arrangements in that area, so any swimming or boating is of your own risk.
I stayed in a Platinum caravan, and I cannot make enough complements about that. The kitchen is fully equipped with plates in all different sizes, bowls, normal glasses, wine glasses, cups, mugs, and a full draw with cutlery.
To my surprise there were 3 bedrooms, while I was only expecting 2. Each could sleep 2 persons and each had a wardrobe with 2 draws. Also there were 2 toilets, one having a shower as well. Hot water was available.
The living area was very great and there was a TV with DVD player, which I knew, and for that reason I was able to enjoy the nights watching DVDs with the family. There were heaters in every room, so in the cold, we had no problem.
The view outside the window of this caravan was great. The Loch Linnhe to my front. I strongly recommend the Platinum caravan, because the others will not give you that view.
There is hardly anything I can criticise except the transportation, but bring a wall clock with you because there was none in there, so we had to have our watches on all the time to know what time it was. This however is hardly any problem for most, so you can see yourself how great this accommodation is.
Campsite on shores of the lake, with direct access to the beach. Beautiful views, including Ben Nevis, when the weather is good. Amazing sunsets. Facilities on site very clean. Burger Van welcome.
Only downside was poor pedestrian and public transport access towards Fort William. Only walking route is along grass bank of a 60mph road, which is not lit, and nearest bus at Corpach. On site shop staff very helpful.
Nearest supermarket is co-op in Corpach which is about a mile away. Train ride to Mallaig recommended, also pub/hotel food by Neptune staircase.
Not the sort of site we would normally use being so big, but after several hours drive we would have stopped anywhere! Oh, how supprised we were. We had a friendly welcome and although we hadn't booked they managed to fined us a spot. The site is divided into little areas so you don't feel you are on a big site. The toilets, showers etc were very clean and the shop well stocked. Direct access to the loch was great for an evening stroll. The site manager, Woodie, I think (sorry if I got the name wrong), stopped by for a chat and went into great depth about the local area, where we were going to next and what to see while we were in Scotland. Him taking the time to talk to us made us feel really welcome. Thank you Woodie.
Would recommend without a doubt and would go back today if it wasn't so far from home
Spent 2 nights at this campsite with friends and will definitely return. Kids ranged from 4 to 17 and there was plenty for all to do. Toilet facilities are excellent and the on site shop is well stocked and priced. We picked this site because it has direct access to the loch for our kayak but because of the really strong current around the site were limited to who could use the boat. It took 2 adults to be able to control it. Would be perfect for motored boats but not for ours. The views from the caravan were beautiful and where we pitched our tent was perfect, just next to the boat park. Staff were very helpful and accommodating as because of the weather our friends, who were originally supposed to stay in their tent, changed their minds when we arrived and booked a static. The staff couldn't do enough to help and even gave her an upgrade for free because the site was not full. The women and kids ended up in the caravan and left the men in the tent. Fantastic!
Spent two nights pitched here for an ascent of Ben Nevis which is only a ten minute drive away.
I was permitted to pitch on a small area next to the boat park to avoid midges, although there were still quite a lot of midges and I received half a dozen bites even with insect spray applied.
The view across the Loch and hills was excellent. Great for bird watching - I think I saw an eagle, but it may have been a buzzard.
Facilities are good. Decent showers, toilet and washing up facilities.
Well stocked shop open until 8pm and they happily freeze your ice packs over night.
Good reception with plenty of information about the area.
Good value for money. Less than a tenner a night for one adult and tent.
We were pitched in the 'narrows' right on the loch shore on a fairly level pitch with direct uninterrupted loch views. I cannot comment on the other tent areas. You cannot park next to your tent which may be an issue for some. For us it was fine but was a bit of pain unloading and loading the car. We resorted to loading the car by passing the items up an embankment behind where we were pitched.
The price was reasonable and the man behind reception was extremely helpful. He placed us on the 'narrows' so we had direct access to the loch shore for walking the dogs. He gave us masses of help on the next step of our holiday (after we would be leaving Linnhe). There is a huge amount of information in reception including maps and leaflets and even a wildlife update board.
I can imagine that the site is great for families. There is wi-fi and toddler room etc (none of which we used). The facilities were very good. There were lots of showers / loos etc that were always clean and warm with plenty of hot water. For such a large site the facilities were very quiet and usually empty.
The site itself is on Loch Linnhe and is very picturesque. We had an amazing view and the walks along the stony shore were lovely. The water is very clear and dogs loved swimming in it. There was lots of wildlife nearby for nature lovers. On the evening we even saw an otter playing in the loch.
We had hot sunshine and then a light shower in the evening which unfortunately brought out all the midges! We were badly bitten prior to applying some Avon skin so soft. All in all a great site and recommended.
This year was my second visit to this site. We had a fabulous time last year (despite awful weather) and I was not disappointed when I returned this year.
It is a really nicely laid out site with lovely small camping areas for tents rather than just a big open camping field. All of the camping is by the water side with lovely views of the loch. There is a pebble 'beach' on the lochside with lovely views of Ben Nevis and really peaceful.
All of the facilities are good. The toilet block is clean and the shower cubicles are spacious and never too busy. There are sink cubicles as well which I personally think are great for a little privacy.
There is a nice play area for children, a shop that stocks all the usual items and laundry facilities. There is also a toddlers indoor playroom which is great if it's raining!
A fantastic location if you want a quiet location with lovely surroundings, but not far from the amenities of Fort William and surrounding area.
We stayed in a tent on this site for 7 days from the Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May.
The site itself is well signposted & easy to find on the A830 out of Fort William through Corpach & towards Mallaig. The entrance is over a narrow railway bridge that some caravans may find a little bit of a squeeze.
The grounds are beautifully kept & there is plenty of access to the loch side. The reception area is large & they have plenty of information on places of interest. There is a small shop on site that stocks most of the essentials, for anything else there is a small supermarket in Corpach (just about walking distance) or you would need to go into Fort William.
The toilet/shower blocks have an unusual layout. They are split into two parts, the first part has four or five fully enclosed units consisting of a shower (1 has a bath) & sink unit, the second part contains the toilet cubicles with enclosed sink units on the other side from the toilets. We understand that one of the blocks is closed during low season & the other becomes unisex. The showers are hot & free & they are kept reasonably clean but I have seen cleaner on sites that are not as well regarded as this one.
There is not particularly a lot for the kids to do on site. There are a couple of small playgrounds but there are no amusements or entertainments to keep them occupied.
For the adults, there is nothing really much do in Corpach (although there is a small bar frequented by locals which seems to get rowdy & usually spills out onto the street) so the best bet is to make the short drive into Fort William.
Having said that the scenery is around the site is superb, Ben Nevis broods over the site & on a clear day the view is exceptional. Skye, Oban, Inverness, Aviemore & Loch Lomond are all well worth a visit. If you are planning on going to Ardnamurchan (the most westerly point on the UK mainland) take a flask in the car with you, its all single track road with passing places. It makes for a long trip & can become quite tiresome but it is worth it for the view & the beaches.
The are also some beautiful walks round here two, not just up Ben Nevis, but for those who are a little less energetic, try Glen Nevis. You wont be disappointed.
Just one word of warning though, stock up well on the insect repellent as you will definitely need it.
This site was okay and brilliant for it's location alone. The views all round are stunning, with Loch Linnie on one side and Ben Nevis on the other. We stayed here for about 10 days. The entrance is well sign posted and tarmac road all the way in over a small rail bridge. The hardstanding was tight to get into with a twin axle but once in, it was okay, but not very private. The hard standing surface is horrible grey gravel which reminded me of running track cinders of old. This stuff got everywhere and left a muddy film on the floor of the 'van after rain - and being Scotland it did! Drainage was poor. Caravans seemed crammed in elsewhere although the service pitches are bigger. The children's play park / area was slippy and muddy in the wet. The wash block and facilities were modern and very clean, there is also a small shop on site for the very basics. Fort William isn't far away for a good shopping centre and there are other shops in the small village of Corpach which is closer. A fish and chip van visits the site from elsewhere but the chips were the worst There are lots of places to go in the area but I would recommend the ski lift up the mountain which just up the A82. This is also the site used for the Mountain Bike World Cup and the view from the top is amazing and the restaurant at the top serves good food at reasonable prices. There is a good tourist information centre in Fort William.
Myself, my mother and her partner stayed at Linnhe Lochside Holidays in August of 2007 or 2008 (such a long time ago now).
I climbed Ben Nevis during my time up there. Quite a hike.
I remember on entering the caravan the tv did not work and it was replaced immediately.
Lovely views, peaceful and quiet. Helpful and considerate staff.
There is not much if anything to complain about, it's a very quiet, beautiful, serene wonderful part of Scotland to visit.
