 An excellent site and under the shadow of Ben Nevis.

Lots of space, though the number of showers could improve even though I went on the peak weekend of the Mountain Bike World Cup.

It closes to access round about 11pm and a security guard mans the main gate giving a feeling of security.

There was also open spaces avoiding that cramped feeling. One of the better ones and would have no hesitation about returning.

 We have been to this campsite several times over the last few years are it is still our favourite. The facilities and location are great.

We still enjoy sitting outside our tent and watching people on the hill starting\returning from there walk up Ben Nevis especially when the sun starts to set.

Pitches are a really good size especially when you have a large tent (7. 5m long) and have never had an issue with drainage.

They are also one of the few campsites that do genuinely appear to be dog friendly and its great having an area specifically for dogs on the campsite so they can go for a run.

Fort William is walkable from the campsite, takes about 40-50 min to get to centre and it has a supermarket and butchers for buying supplies.

The customer service is also good, very quick at getting us in the campsite and always friendly.

 Wow what an awesome site this is, beautifully laid out with excellent site facilities for all shapes and sizes. The staff were very helpful and although we arrived after reception was closed it was very clear what we needed to do. The views of the Nevis range are stunning, we also had excellent weather which of course helps!

The facilities for laundry and ablutions were very well maintained and clean. The camp site has a shop for basic food stuffs and Scottish gifts plus a good range of camping and walking bits and pieces. An on-site food facility in the evenings is available though we didn't try it, there is also a restaurant and bar available only a few minutes walk away which appears relatively new and serves local ales etc. , we didn't eat here as we prefer more local colour.

We drove to the end of the Glen and walked up the Gorge to the waterfalls as recommended, absolutely stunning and a great place for a picnic. Makes sure you have some good shoes/boots on.

As a base to explore Skye, Mull and Glencoe and of course walk up Ben Nevis it was excellent.

 A very beautiful and practical campsite.

We enjoyed very nice and helpful staff, good and clean sanitary and all other facilities. Good space on clean individual really good size. Excellent on site shop and a pub/restaurant within close walking distance near Fort William.

This is a very beautiful natural area for walking tours or cycling.

It was our best campsite we used on our 3 week tour in Scotland.

We will be back!

 We stayed here on June9th for three nights for our first camping trip. My partner and I and our 3 year old twins. Checking in was really easy and staff so friendly. There were 4 different fields to choose from and plenty space to pitch our tent. We chose benview field close to the toilet and shower facilities to accommodate the twins. What a view! Opening the tent every morning to a view of Ben Nevis was fab. Everything was immaculate(toilets, showers and dish cleaning facilities). Swing park was adequate for the girls. We went walking up ben nevis with the kids not far though but really enjoyed it. The entrace was two mins from the park entrance.

Major mistake on my part was leaving kids clothes suitcase at home (extremely stupid I know) after speaking to the girl she told me the nearest asda/tesco was 100mile round trip she appeared at my tent an hour later with two brand new pairs of sock, pants, pyjamas and dresses from her niece of the same age for the next day until I sorted the clothes issue. This was totally above and beyond the customer service I expected and couldn't be more grateful. I did get the clothes late that night thanks to a family member driving up but thank you so much to her for helping me out.

 Fantastic campsite, amazing location, absolute tranquillity. We had perfect weather which made the stay even nicer but couldn't fault one single thing.

Staff were friendly and helpful, facilities clean and plentiful.

Very good value for money.

Lovely atmosphere around campsite with all different campers, families to back packers.

We went to climb Ben Nevis and ended up staying an extra night then on our way back home the following week stopped in again for one night.

Only thing we did find were the hard standing pitches were so deep with gravel, normal size pegs don't stay in so well. We had extra long pegs with us so worked out ok.

Is a definite favourite campsite and will return next year

 A lovely, lovely site. The site staff were excellent. We had an accident on our way to the site in our hired motorhome when a lorry smashed our wing mirror through the cab side window, they helped the hire company with advice of a local company to replace the glass and then lent us a vacuum cleaner to finish clearing up. The site is in a lovely location with Ben Nevis just across the road, you can walk to the visitor centre and along the River Nevis, we also had an excellent meal in the restaurant next door, a little up market, not a sweatshirt and jeans place. The site toilets were clean but no private wash basins and the showers warm and clean, there is also a drive over grey water disposal point. There are plenty of shops in Fort William and a bus runs past the site. Do have a trip on the Jacobite Express form Fort William to Mallaig but book well in advance or you may be disappointed. I cannot comment on child facilities.

 Just got back from a couple of nights at Glen Nevis, what a lovely campsite. When we arrived at reception we were checked in very swiftly and given a map to help us find our pitch. Pitches were large enough for caravan plus awning, plenty of space. Grass was well tended, being mown whilst we were there. Toilet block and showers were spotless, free showers always a bonus. The on site shop was well stocked though Fort William was a very short drive to get anything you needed. The bar/restaurant was very enjoyable with prices being very reasonable, a local band playing some ceilidh music till late, a very nice evening.

 This is one of our favourite sites due to location, situated at the foot of Ben Nevis with views up the tourist path to the summit, there are many walks from easy to difficult from the site, Fort William is a short drive, but could be walked too, so far not brave enough to venture to the top of the mountain, but maybe one day, we love relaxing after a walk and watching people coming and going up the mountain, watching the twinkling lights from walkers descending the mountain after dark is fascinating,

The location is great for sight seeing in the surrounding area,

If I had to make any criticism it would be the power, the site wasn't too busy when we visited in May, and we were unlucky to have cold wet weather, meaning most people needed to have their heating on causing the power to continually trip, mostly while trying to cook, , had the site been full It would've been even worse.

 We chose this site as a stop-over on our way to Skye but we'd love to have stayed longer. Beautiful location with easy access to beginning of path up Ben Nevis. Plenty dog walks just off site. A short walk on paths away from main road took us to a restaurant. We were cooking for ourselves so didn't try it but the menu looked appealing!

Great motorhome service area with water and waste access on both sides. (We have a German van with water and waste dump on opposite side to British vans so this suited us - didn't have to think which way round we were!)

Good toilet and shower blocks, clean and warm - and good water pressure in showers.
