Stayed here for 6 nights and loved the site.The site is right on the edge of the Loche and has stunning views so even when the Scottish weather let us down we enjoyed exploring the camp and had a walk down to the pebble beach.
The campervan pitches are all hard standing and a bit of a squeeze to get into because of the way they are organised but once in we had ample room for our camper, awning and trailer with motorbike.(the grassed area for tents was very picturesque but the tents did seem a little squashed in and were the furthest from the shower block) The drainage on our pitch, however, wasn't good and we did get a bit of flooding but then we did have a LOT of rain. The facilities are great.Clean and spacious toilet/shower block.Shower rooms with shower and sink and plenty of space to get changed.Sinks in cubicles which were great for a bit of privacy.There was even a room with a bath but you had to pay for a token to use. Well stocked shop, helpful and friendly staff,washing up room and facilities for clothes washing.10 minute drive from Fort William, 40mins from sky and an hour from seeing nessie - definitely a good place to tour out from.
Stunning site, would highly recommend and would definitely visit again.Watch out for the midges though - pack the repellent!
The view was spectacular right up the loch. We were put in a corner, beside the amenities block with our trailer tent and it was quite a squeeze to fit the tent and the car into the space provided. We watched someone with a caravan try to manoeuvre into the same size space and knew we had it easy. We had no view of the loch, but I felt on a last minute booking, during Glasgow`s annual 2 week holiday slot, I had to gracefully accept what I was given.
Toilet and showers very well kept and very clean, plenty of hot water at no charge and the showers had a washbasin with them and a stool, so plenty of space to get dried and dressed without rewetting the clothes. Dishwashing facility was good. Waste and water facilities, were up a steep set of steps a bit of a problem with a bad back. Although the touring Caravans seemed to get a pitch with a standpipe for their own water.
The laundry room, I felt, was inadequate for the size of the camp - 2 washing machines and 3 dryers, and seemed expensive it cost me £3 per token for the machine and the dryer - the small load I washed wasn`t dry after the 2nd dryer token - £9 for a wash seemed too much - I had to hang the towels etc., on the provided drying screens outdoors to finish them off.
They do have a children's play area but it was at the opposite side of the park beside the chalets and the statics, so our kids didn`t visit it as it was too far away for unsupervised visit - even though they are aged 11yrs and 9 yrs. There definitely wasn`t enough room beside the pitch even to let them play with a swingball so we were out and about all the time.
We had a wonderful outing to the beach at the silver sands at Morar (1hr away) well worth the visit. The exhibition on Crystals and Minerals at Corpach was interesting and afforded a cool place to go on a hot afternoon with the kids.
They do accept tents, although it seemed a squeeze them in, where ever there was a space kind of set up to me. They have warren camping, and forest tent pitches as well for those who want the experience.
The cost for 2 adults and 2 children and the trailer tent was a reasonable £22.50 per night.
The biggest problem for me was the midges, swarms, hordes, unbelievable, eaten alive, and on all of our three nights and during the day from the tree above our pitch. Maybe we were more unlucky than most. This said from someone who lives full time in Scotland with midges at the back door.
What a fabulous site, a credit to the staff. Right on loch eil and spotless clean accomodation and no noise apart from the birds. Central for touring crannog seal island cruise in fort william is a must as is the nevis cable car The only fault we had to come home. The setting of this site is beautiful you`ll be wowed by the beauty of the area
Firstly the site…well laid out and has a nice country feel to it. It has a large number of Chalets and Static’s and a touring area set in various “terraced” areas, and that is where it falls down. Touring pitches are obviously not a major concern.
The touring areas are somewhat basic in that they have nothing more than some “Red Blaze” covering which, if you have not got a groundsheet, will destroy your caravan floor…and the drainage is something they forgot.
We had pretty poor weather for our week, with heavy downpours at night, every morning the awning was flooded,about 80% or so. I have never had this happen on any other site. Seems they did not think that it might rain in the North West area of Scotland.
The grass at the back of our pitch was very long on our arrival and was strimmed the day before we left…still trying to get the grass stains out the awning…
When we arrived we were allocated pitch P10…avoid like the plague…I would insist that P6 to P10 be avoided………they are the “after-thought” pitches IMHO
As for the facilities, they are clean, heated, and the usual things are there but nothing special, although not sure you would need anything else.
Access to the beach is easy and is worth an early morning / late evening walk for the views alone…but NO safety devices evident at the area accessed by the tourers.
Warning to parent, very strong currents at the tourers access to the beach.
All in all, not the worst site for a tourer, but easily not the best…
Lovely site, very friendly staff, we had a pitch on the top terrace, with magnificent views over the loch. I loved the showers, with shower and sink inside of one cubicle, so you could do everything you needed to in private! The motorhome service point was the best I have ever encountered, park in the bay, fill with fresh water, empty waste and also a hose to wash down the van, it was fantastic! The lady in the shop was very helpful with local and fishing information. You can fish in the loch and launch boats from thier private slipway. Well equipped laundry, with handwashing sink and a free spinner, which was handy for few small items. As keen sea fishermen, we enjoyed a few hours fishing in the loch, and watching / hearing the seal! Also in Fort William, we went on a boat trip to see the seals which was very good and then caught fresh Mackerel in the loch, which we enjoyed on the barbecue that evening. Dont forget the insect repellent though as there are millions of midges! I have already booked for next year!
Just had third visit here twice in lodge once in caravan.Lodges are outstanding with excellent views and equipped to a very high standard only complaint would be lack of basic cleaning stuff ie only 1 dishwashing tablet provided for a 1week stay !Staff have always been very polite friendly and keen to help.Overall the site is beautiful and obviously well maintained ,would not repeat the caravan stay as although adequate caravan was basic and fairly well used ! Will definitely return to a lodge and maybe even take the tent sometime although pitches looked too small for our large tent and did not see any electric hook-ups for tents.Overall great holiday location.
We have just stayed a week at this campsite and we enjoyed our holiday and even the bad weather (and blown off roof vent) didn't put us off.
The facilities on this site were excellent. The toilets and showers were immaculate and it's one of the best we have been to.
The staff were also helpful too when we had a problem with our electrical hookup and they also let us borrow a screwdriver to put our new roof vent on.
We also liked being by the loch (and so did the dog, he couldn't resist swimming in it) and by the Jacobite Railway (ideal for Harry Potter fans).
The only gripes we had were that the pitches were a bit too small and had hard standing only (no grass at all!). The drainage on our pitch was also non-existant and we got flooded.
We had also noticed that the tent pitches were further away from the toilet blocks than the caravan / motorhome pitches were (which a lot of them had toilets on board).
The site is stunning, the views and the site itself are lovely. They man at the reception when we booked in was helpful and gave us plenty of help in where to pitch our tent.
The shower/toilet block is big. Each loo/shower and sink has it's own cubicle. I think this is a really nice touch if, like me, you like a wee bit of privacy to get ready for the day (putting your face on etc).
Unfortunatly the shop wasn't open when we were there which was a shame. But the shops in Corpach had everything we needed and more!
I did notice that the campervans nearest the toilet blocks were pretty close but I'm not sure if it looked worse because they all had awnings. In the tent area we had lots of room and a few areas to pick from, although one of the areas marked for camping was very slopey.
Would go back but this was the dearest campsite we stayed at.
1st night of our holiday and wow what a beautiful location. Right by the loch and lovely to walk down to at night. Very clean toilets and very informative and friendly staff. Midges were a nightmare but it was worth it for the view - even better first thing in the morning. Will be back!
We stayed at Linnhe Lochside with some friends for a week. It is a beautiful clean site, and very well maintained. Several play areas for children. Clean toilets and showers with the most powerfull blast of water I have ever had on a campsite! Nice walk onto loch with fantastic views. The shop stocked essentials! (even wine and beer!) The laundry room had a play area for toddlers which I thought was a nice touch. The only downside is the midges! They eat you alive! we tried candles, spray and constant smoking. Nothing worked. Also there was a few buses pulling up with foreign tourists on all queing for the toilets and showers. Not sure where they slept but the bus left in the morning again. There is a fish and chip van that comes around the site twice a week but we didnt really enjoy it the batter could be tasted long after the meal was finished. All in all a fab site though. Within easy reach of Ben Nevis, Fort William etc.
