In the shadow of Ben Nevis across the river, the site is well laid out in hedged "rooms" with neat, fully serviced pitches. We arrived when it had only been open for the season for a couple of days and it was very quiet.
There is dog walking available from the site and from a previous visit to the nearby Ben Nevis Visitor Centre there is much more walking available there.
A restaurant sits adjacent to the site but we did not try it, there is a well stocked shop at reception and the recycling facility behind the reception/shop building was excellent with all types properly segregated.

Fantastic site in a wonderful location. Very well maintained and staffed, loved it.
It has a mixture of hard standing pitches for campervans etc. And some (small) grass fields for tents, the hard pitch area is very well maintained and set out, the grass area you can pitch where you like and there are a number of toilet/utility blocks and on site chip/burger van and shop.
Sited near the town and by Ben Nevis. Loved it, have recommended it, will be going back, 10/10

This was my 2nd visit to this site and I must say that it is one of my favourites in the whole of UK.
The drive through Glen Coe to get there is stunning and when you arrive you enter an airline type check in desk which shows it's professionally managed - the site is quite frankly massive and even when full never seems busy. Facilities are all very good - there's a shop on site for essentials, a burger van just next to it which does chippy type food and is even open for bacon baps and coffee in the morning although this may be only at weekends.
Ben Nevis towers above the site and it's a 10 minute walk from the site to the start of the route up the mountain. If you don't fancy a climb there are walks along the river close by. If you don't fancy a walk at all, Fort William is a couple of miles away with town facilities and Loch Cruises available.
As for eating there is a burger van on site until about 7pm, then there is the Glen Nevis Pub/Restaurant next to the site - on my last visit they did pub food in the bar area and slightly more a la carte in the restaurant. Sadly it's all pub food now which although quite palatable was a bit of a disappointment. The other option without driving is a 15 minute walk to the Ben Nevis Inn at the start of the route up the mountain - again it's pub food but the reviews are quite good

We came here in July, the site has good access.
Booked into reception, you can then go and choose your pitch. Pitches are large, we were on a hardstanding pitch with leccy.
The site has a well stocked shop, a large laundry room (which is more like a launderette), it has 4 commercial dryers, 4 washing machines, 2 large sinks, 3 ironing boards with irons - and the best thing (and I wish more sites had these) a spin dryer for when you do some handwashing. They also had machines where you could purchase a cup of washing powder and conditioner.
The shower/toilet facilities are clean and the shower cubicles are large, not like some which are no bigger than a single wardrobe! So plenty of room to get dry.
There is a fast food trailer on site selling stuff like chips and burgers etc.
A 5 minute walk along the road is the sites restaurant. We went there a couple of times for coffee (and free wifi) the menu was pretty uninspiring and the full cooked brekky was £9. 00, very expensive, and the fact that both times we went there the place was practically empty seemed to back this up. A full brekky at the local Morrisons a 10 minute drive away was less than a fiver. If you go to the local supermarkets, go early as parking a large Moho (we need 2 spaces) is difficult.
This is a huge site, it's well kept and clean. I think at least 70% of visitors were from overseas. It's a transient site, people seem to come here to do 'the climb' then move on after a couple of days. It's definitely not what I would call a holiday site.
If you're not an 'out doorsy' person this area is not for you, everything revolves around, hiking, walking, cycling, climbing etc.
Fort William is a 10 minute drive away with some shops, 10 minutes in the other direction, is a Lidl, Home Bargains and an M&S food hall.
When we first arrived on this site, bearing in mind it is very large, I was concerned regarding the noise at night, but it is in fact a very quiet site at all times.
So to sum up. Fantastic scenery, quiet clean site, great for outdoor stuff.
Just one or two thoughts.
Nothing here for young kids I think they'd be bored after a day. If you don't do the outdoor stuff there's not much else to do.
OK for one or two nights.

Excellent site in a stunning location; busy but large so that there is plenty of room to spread out. Good flat pitches on most of the site. People from many nationalities stay so there is a nice cosmopolitan feel to the site.
Facilities are adequate for the quantity of people staying; showers are good. Well stocked site shop.
I didn't try the restaurant/bar, but the nearby Ben Nevis Inn serves good food and beer, and is within easy walking distance.

I have visited this site before and the standards here are very high. A lot of people come here to walk the Ben, and if not there are still lovely local walks. Fort William is about a twenty minute walk and the mainline station is situated in the town centre. The site facilities are well laid out and kept very clean. The bar and restaurant on site are a significant plus and the food is excellent.

We stayed here for one night, on our travels around the West coast. What a beautiful site, probably the largest pitch we have ever stayed on, very open and spacious feel to the site, with beautiful views of the mountains all around.
I cannot fault this site, would loved to have stayed a few more nights so we could explore.
There is a site pub which is 5 minutes walk away. We didn't eat there but were told that the food was very nice.
Fort William is about 10 minutes drive from the site if you need supplies. We didn't stop there but it looked like a nice town as we drove through.

Touring around the west coast we both agreed this was our favourite campsite. Good welcome by Debbie who explained everything. Dog exercise area at the end of the campsite. Large space for the van. Toilets/showers immaculate. Good walks along the side of the river. Great views of the ben but also the mountains close by. On site restaurant recommended. Well stocked shop. Love to go back.

A well maintained site in a beautiful location with view looking out toward Ben Nevis and the surrounding mountains. Located near the West Highland Way, long distance walking route, it offers a good deal of forested tracks for hiking. A short distance from the town of Fort William there are plenty of shop, pubs and restaurants to choose from.
The site is divided up into number different areas depending on whether you are camping, glamping our caravanning, all well provided with suitable facilities for that particular activity.
On site facilities are good with a number of separate toilet and shower blocks for each area and are well maintained and cleaned daily to a high standard. There are on site laundry facilities as well as dish washing facilities for those camping. The grounds are kept well-groomed with a selection of trees and shrubs. There is a small on site shop, a take away caravan serving hot food and a licenced restaurant all on site. There is reasonably good Freeview reception on site.
There are a number of “Super-Pitches” that offer electric, water and water waste hook-up, in order to secure one of these you are required to telephone and make a reservation which cost a non-refundable £5:00. To make a reservation cost £5:00 anyway. Every forth night of your stay in the low season is free.

This site is clean, tidy, great facilities. But beyond that, this site has the most spectacular views of the Ben on a clear day.
And even when shrouded in cloud you get the impression of the imposing peak from the rugged slopes that lead up to it.
Great restraint a few minutes walk from site and direct access to paths up the Ben and around its Lower slopes.
Also great base from which to visit the Glenfinnan Viaduct and watch the 'harry potter' train go past.
Looking forward to visiting again soon.
