Date of Visit: August 2005 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Gaynoryoung 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed here August 2006.  Myself, husband and 3 children had a wonderful welcome from the owner.  The views were wonderful, it was great waking up in the morning with a marvelous view of Loch Ness.  We originally booked for 1 night but ended up staying for 3 nights.  Will be returning to this site again this year.

Reviewer: Rachel + Paul 1 review from this member

 We have just come back from 2 weeks on this site. Yes, the view is fantastic and the owners and staff very friendly.
 
However, we were disappointed about the pitch. There is very little grass on any of the pitches, and in places bark chippings have been used to cover the mud. Also the size of the pitches are not very generous, and you are very close to your neighbour.
 
Their website state there is a shop on site, this is no longer the case. A mobile shop apparently calls each morning, but not every morning while we were there. There is a shop 1 mile away for basic bread and milk, Fort Augustus has more options and is a 10 mile round trip.
 
The bar area is pleasant, but we were never sure if it would be open, the meals in the restaurant are basic - with chips!
 
We did eventually enjoy ourselves (when the weather improved!), but would only recommend this site for motor-homes and caravans. It was very much a one and two night stop over while we were there, so our teenagers weren't able to make friends with others.
 
It is unusual for us to return to anywhere, this site is not the exception.

 Gorgeous scenery, right on the loch front. Nearest toilet block was being refurbished whilst I was there so it resulted in a fair walk to the next one.

I can't fault the helpfulness of all staff there, they made me feel very welcome. The toilet blocks let the site down for me - three of them covering the mile long loch view, with only two stalls and one shower in each of the gents.

Beautiful location, really friendly owner and staff, average priced bar and good atmosphere

Reviewer: Freebird 10 reviews from this member

 Arriving in the afternoon, the manager made an effort to welcome us very friendly. He gave us a nice, level and hard standing on the waterfront with a stunning view over the Loch. We decided to stay for two nights when we encountered such hospitabillity and good humour in the restaurant / pub. Fishing from shore in rather shallow water makes it neccesarry to choose your lure well; I lost a few in the lure graveyard right off from the fish-pitches. Half floating or floats would be recommended. Midges were there but ot to much as we also had the bbq lighted which gave of a little smoke. Nice handycraft (leather and antler) shop within few miles.
We will defenitely return the this site on our next visit to Scotland.

Reviewer: Chris Dunne 4 reviews from this member

 After a journey of 450 miles,I was looking forward to a nice holiday, I was`nt dissapointed. On arrival I was greeted by the friendly owner, who guided me to my pitch, and then helped me to push my caravan forwards on to the pitch, which was on the edge of the loch. Therefore every morning when we opened the blinds, we were greetd by the sight of Loch Ness, what a brilliant way to start the day.

The clubhouse was well used and had entertainment on a regular basis, the showers were spotless with a plentiful supply of hot water. I would recommend to anyone that visits this part of Scotland to go armed with midgie repellant and USE IT. But I have to say that in 13 years of caravanning, this was my most enjoyable 2 weeks, and I shall certainly return to the Highlands on a regular basis. It might be a long drive but it is worth it, and for a good part of the journey one is travelling through scenery that is breath taking

Had an overnight stay in August. Owners very helpful especially as we didn't arrive until 10.00pm. Only stopped for one night as the midges were terrible and it was a very narrow site, near the water and wasn't that suitable for young children.
The site has hook ups and a basic toilet block.

A wonderful location with views of Loch Ness that are second to none. Just a short drive from the beautiful town of Fort Augustus where there are lovely places to eat and drink. RAF planes fly over a few times a day and can be very loud, although I found them to be a spectacular sight also. Only downfalls are the midges that can become quite intolerable, and ticks are a problem if you bring your dog.

This site is the only one on the banks of Loch Ness so it must be busy in the summer - it was pretty busy now although I don't think the tent field was properly open (not all the toilet blocks were). We had elec hook up and two kids and it was Easter week - it was £17.

The toilets and showers which we did go in were tiled - but the tiles in the whole shower area were soaking which meant there was nowhere dry at all to hang your clothes!!! Somehow we and my daughter managed!

The owner is really relaxed and the kids play area is good. You have to visit here for the views over Loch Ness - it is great!!

Camping on the banks of Loch Ness with that view, how can life get better! You are so close to the Loch that Nessie could nibble your toes. This campsite is all about location, location, location.

Ever so sweet ducklings are so tame, they come to visit you for titbits. We found out they like eating Snackerjacks!

Good chippie in Fort Augustus that cooks everything fresh to order.

Only annoying thing is the RAF flying over which is soooooo loud and the mossies.

Stay here, put your feet up and enjoy gazing out onto the Loch - its wonderful.

This campsite is absolutely great for its scenery and location.
The downfalls are the tents are too near to each other and the midges are terrible. I got bit absolutely hundreds of times all over.
The toilet blocks are filthy and are not cleaned early in the morning only cleaned in the afternoon. There are not enough showers and everyone is queuing up for a shower.
The club house is okay if your wanting entertainment.
This campsite is okay for a stopover while travelling through.

Nice location, but dont mention midges!.
Stopped at this site only one night as the place was crammed, backpackers were camping between motorhomes and any spare piece of grass.

Toilets and showers clean but only adequate. To be honest I had a few moans about the site to myself (it is registered as a 5 star and at £13.50 is a fair price), such as waiting ages to get served at the bar, most of the food on the menu was off that night, 15mins wait again to pay for a meal,

The toilet disposal is quite a carry from the road. I will give the site the benefit of the doubt and am prepared to wait until next year for improvements.

This site is PERFECT! Spectacular views across the loch towards the mountains and the Great Glen Walk just across the road.We arrived at about 7pm and the owner Bob,made us feel welcome straightaway."Find a pitch,and if you need help setting up come and get me". Their is the choice of grass or hard pitches each having a great view.Three shower blocks with free hot water,and excellent facilities.A laundry with either a 50p drier or free outside rotary lines was ideal for when the little darlings decided to go in the water without removing trousers first!Free fishing from the shore (about 6 foot from some pitches) and a slipway if you have a boat.On our last night we decided to eat in the on-site bar.Nice and cosy,three pool tables and a large screen tv with Sky (so you can still watch Football!).The beer was cold and refreshing and the hot food was delicious. If i'd have eaten there on the first night the BBQ and microwave would not have been used so often! To keep the kids happy, there are good play areas and the loch means they can get wet if they want (mine did).There is also a resident population of ducks and tiny chicks to impress the kids (aah).
Seasonal pitches, statics for hire under cover shelters for BBQ's or when it rains (it still wasn't cold) I would recommend this site to everyone.Bob only took over this site in March 2003 and he has some plans to make it better.Inevitably this will increase the price (just £13.50 per night including 16A electric) but believe me it will still be worth it.Opening from March til January means Hogmanay, anyone else up for a party?
