 Spent a week here end of July/beginning of August.
Arrived late in the day after a long day. Only one person checking people in despite quite a few people waiting. People in front were in full leathers yet the girl checked them in as a motorhome. Kind of set the tone. Girl said that I would need to fill a registration card in. I politely asked why as I had already provided the information at the time of the booking. The only info she didn't have on the computer was the length of our vehicle which I gave her verbally. Clearly the staff have had a common sense bypass. Staff local knowledge was worse than useless.
Location of site is excellent and there is plenty to do to fill a week. Site is well maintained and laid out. Our pitch in the corner of the field became a bit of a thorough fare as people kept climbing over the fence as a short-cut to the pub/restaurant. Personally I wouldn't dream of walking across someone's pitch but some people can be quite ignorant. Maybe a sign would help.
Didn't use the restaurant but the pub was welcome after conquering Ben Nevis. Campsite quiet at night/early morning. By Scottish standards this campsite is quite expensive for what you get.

This is a very busy site, which is obvious as soon as you get out of your car. The facilities are all good considering how busy the place was, and the staff fine except they are maybe overworked, One lovely young lady on the night I arrived seemed to be dealing with everything even the shop.
But and this is a big but, I was expecting to pay 8 pounds per night but there is per person added costs and admin so I ended uo paying 14 pounds 20 for a small tent and car, the dearest of all my stays in Scotland. I live in NZ and was home, I stayed here many times times when young and this was always handy for the mountain.
I have been on many camps this time over 3 months but I wont go back to Glen Nevis again.
Way too expensive and I believe overcrowded for the facilities available.

I stayed here as most do whilst climbing nevis. Campsite is well organised, pitches are good as are the services.
We had a choice of pitch. There was plenty of loos and water stations. Only downside was campsite did get quite busy but I guess is to be expected given the location.
Location was perfect within half a mile of nevis and near plenty of other walks also. I would stay here again and recommend it.

On arrival glen nevis looked a clean site very large and busy. First thing my kids noticed was a burger van outside reception which was a big hit.
The staff at reception were very helpful and our pitch was pointed out to us on the map which was easy to find in such a big site. Our pitch has our own water and drainage.
The site lays at the foot of ben nevis the scenery is to die for there are walks in every direction great for the dogs. Although the site probably has about 150 pitches set in different areas it is still very quiet at night not what you would expect from a big site.
The toilet block is one of the cleanest I've came across. The laundry is very clean with plenty of machines so there's never a queue.
Your only 5 minute drive from fort william which has every shop you will need.
The only thing we found a bit poor was the play park was a poor effort and for a site this big I would have expected a bigger play area but if that's the only down fall there doing something right
We will definitely go again time and time again its the kind of site you wouldn't get bored visiting

We stayed here for 2 nights principally to go up Ben Nevis.
We rang the site when we were in the area to see if there was a pitch available and we were advised to just turn up as they weren't full which we did.
This site is very well organised, the woman who registered us was very helpful told us all we needed to know about the site and gave us a few choices of where to pitch leaving the final choice down to us.
Found a great pitch with superb views of Ben Nevis and near but not too near the facilities block. (We were spoiled for choice really, all the pitches had nice views and were well spaced out).
The facilities are excellent loos and showers very clean, plentifull hot water, never had to queue for a shower. (All the showers had a squeegee mop hanging up so you could mop down for the next person which I thought was a good idea). Good pot washing facilities.
Used the laundry - again great facility.
Shop was well stocked.
A short walk from the site to the start of the climb up Ben Nevis, this was particularly appreciated on the return journey!
(The day we went up Ben Nevis the weather was evil! We were dressed for it but we came across quite a few who weren't, including a lad in pristine white plimsolls - well I think they were pristine when he started! I mention this because a few yards infront of us a guy slipped and broke his leg and we had to hang back while he was rescued by helicopter, the next day we saw another helicopter rescuing another unfortunate. I don't know the exact cause of their falls but we saw plenty of people equipped for a walk in the park and no more!)
This is a fabulous campsite the facilities are excellent and all the staff we came into contact with were friendly and helpful. At £23 a night we thought we got value for money.
There is a hot food van on site as well, we didn't use it but it looked good.
On the way to our next stop we stopped in Fort William to stock up on provisions - Morrisons has a separate car park for motorhomes and caravans - very useful!

A small group of us camped two nights at Glen Nevis in June. We chose the site because it was perfectly situated for our walk up Ben Nevis. The site is just over two miles from Fort William on a minor road and has very easy access for caravans and motorhomes.
As we arrived, our first impression was that he site appeared very well run and immaculately maintained. We found the staff, both in reception and out on the fields, very welcoming, friendly and helpful.
Glen Nevis is a fairly large site with several fields for tents and other fields reserved for caravans and motorhomes. There are extensive surfaced roadways and campers can park next to their pitches.
The site is mostly level although some areas slope gently. The ground is good and takes tent pegs well. There are plenty of trees on and around the site so it is reasonably sheltered from the wind.
The facilities blocks are among the best I have come across - modern, well appointed, spacious and spotlessly clean. There are more than enough showers and loos for the number of campers the site holds, a very clean and roomy dishwashing 'scullery', a laundry, and lots of nice touches like hairdriers and large mirrors. I rate the facilities ten out of ten.
The campsite shop is well-stocked (if a trifle expensive) and it also sells cigarettes and tobacco. A bar/restaurant is nearby. There's also an on-site mobile snack bar which serves cooked breakfasts in the morning and light meals in the early evening.
As other reviewers mention, the site has a noise curfew at 11pm. During our first night the site was indeed very quiet but on the second night many youngsters had arrived for a nearby mountain bike 'world championship' event and there was loud conversation late into the night.
We also found the midges a real nuisance but that, of course, is beyond the campsite's control.
Midges and mountain bikers aside, I think this campsite is really first rate. It provides an ideal base for exploring the Lochaber area and for walking up Ben Nevis. I recommend it highly.

Just spent 4 great nights on this lovely site in beautiful scenery.
Clean showers, toilets and launderette, regular emptying of rubbish bins
warden on site kept the noisy campers sorted by politely telling them to be quiet in the early hours or they would be asked to pack up.
Short drive into Fort William and in easy reach of Glencoe and Loch Ness.
Will definitely be returning here. Very reasonably priced as well even for a busy weekend when 18, 000+ descend on Fort William for the UCI Downhill World Cup Mountain Biking.

This was our 2nd visit to this campsite in 4 weeks, the first time to do a bit of munro bagging by ourselves and the second time with our 3 boys for 3 nights (which turned into 4).
We had the same EHU pitch both times which was fantastic, very clean, well kept site, free showers & hairdryers, toilets & showers (with turn on and off TAPS, not push buttons) very clean, dishwashing area very clean.
We went to the pub the first time we stayed for a couple of drinks outside in the sunshine but didn't eat in the restaurant, although it was very busy & had a decent menu. We were very lucky with the weather both times we stayed, the sun shone (although it snowed on the mountains).
We ended up having to stay an extra night due to one of our boys falling and breaking his arm, the lovely lady at the reception couldn't have been more helpful, sorting us out so that we could stay another night on the same pitch. A lovely lady, nothing is too much trouble.
A very well stocked shop, although Fort William is only a 5 minute drive away. Wonderful views & walks, or just a great place to let the kids play(playpark & quiet roads within campsite) and the grown-ups relax. Midges were quite annoying so make sure to take the 'skin so soft' and midge headnets (although the shop does sell these in a variety of colours).
Overall a wonderful campsite, certainly the cleanest and best kept I have stayed at, although it was very busy, as it is a large campsite it was not overcrowded and not noisy(apart from the woodpecker & cuckoo around 5am! We are booked to go back in August. Highly recommended campside 5*.

Stayed at this site for two nights on a tour of the highlands and what a great little site it is, staff are faultless and can not do enough for you,
The site itself is immaculate and very well kept with very spacious flat pitches, don't have to walk for for water, waste etc, ,
Best showers I have used on this tour as they are adjustable, not too hot or cold, ,
Only down side is that there is a ten pound admin fee included on any number of nights that you stay (should just be added to the price if you ask me), ,
There are some lovely walks along the opposite side of the river bank into fort william, ,
Take your binoculars for the wildlife and to watch the fools, sorry I mean the people trekking up be nevis, ,
All in all a great site will be back.

Fantastic site, great position and facilities. Bar / retaurant 200m away and the walk / bike ride down the glen is awesome. Wish I was still there!
The walk into Fort William is ok, but the town is a bit trippy, although the seafood restaurant on the front id cool.
The staff were friendly and helpful and were able to provide information about the local area.
The weather whilst we were there was incredible ( we actually got sunburn!)
Great place.
