Date of Visit: May 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Freyja 56 reviews from this member

 Our second time at this site. Large site, don't need to book even at peak times, there always seem to be spaces. Lovely site divided into 4 sections for caravans and motorhomes and another section for tents. 3 large shower and toilet blocks. No queues even at peak times. Clean toilets. Hot adjustable showers.
There is a shop on site with friendly staff selling everything you need. Obviously a bit more pricey than a Tesco but not too bad. Morrisons 1.5 miles along the road in Fort William.
Quiet site after dark. Well lit site. Decent sized pitches plenty room for caravan and car. Barrier at entrance. Was a bit windy our second night the caravan rocked a bit. Small stream running through camp site. Dog walk on site.
Fully serviced pitch, with 2 adults and a dog (free) £16.00 per night. We will be back again soon.

Reviewer: Arty Collins 5 reviews from this member

 Without a doubt one of the best sites in Scotland. I am a regular visitor. Spent one night here on my way up to Assynt and a further night on my return South. Very few campers about but plenty motorhomes. Excellent shower and toilet facilities. Very helpful staff. No midges, although it was early April!. Lots of snow on the Ben, views incredible as usual.

Reviewer: Lurkanator 4 reviews from this member

 All I can say is if you have not been here then go as it is the best caravan site I have ever been to. 5 STAR IN MY OPINION. . . . I have been every year for 20yrs sometimes for 2weeks. It only gets better. You can spend all day looking up ben nevis. BRILLIANT 


Date of Visit: May 2006 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Fenboy 17 reviews from this member

 Been here many times but first time in a tent. Great shower, laundry block in tent field. Electric hookups available as well.

Well stocked shop for the necessarys or 2 supermarkets in Fort William for more of a range.

Great bar and resturant about 100 metres or so up road. Useful after walking The West Highland Way! spent 3 good nights in there! good range of whisky some are a bit more expensive, be prepared.

What more can I say. I will be back next year as usual. 


Date of Visit: October 2007 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Tiggarsmum 22 reviews from this member

 What a fantastic site. Having just purchased a wee campervan we were not too sure where to pitch for the night but this is a site to to remember.

Just a few miles from Fort William, it boasts stunning views of Ben Nevis, excellent pitches, good Motorhome refill and waste points, immaculate facilities including piped music in the loos, plus the showers (also immaculate) were open 'till 11pm. There is a small shop on site which supplys all the basics.

At £12.70 a night in low season for a camper with hook up I can highly recommend this site.

Date of Visit: September 2007 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Gm4pgv 5 reviews from this member

 Spent two nights on this very nice site, reception is first class, sites are mostly hard standing, you will need rock pegs!Toilets immaculate with lashings of hot water, showers probably the best I have ever used. Ever so handy for those hell bent on scrambling up Ben Nevis, the access to the mountain is only a hundred meters away!

The only negative I could level at the site is that the after hours warders area little too officious, we were sat in our awning having a chat at 10.00 O'clock in the evening when we were visted by them and told to keep the noise down! as we are both rapidly approaching our 70's I suppose we should feel proud that we can still cause uproar!. I did ask for an appology next morning at reception but had a notice pointed out to me that said if I did not agree with being visited my their 'noise police' then perhaps Glen Nevis site was not for me!

I shall probably not return.

Reviewer: Glyderau 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed at the Glen Nevis site for two nights to climb the Ben. We actually arrived just after the reception block closed at 7pm, but saw the signs telling late arrivals to pitch and pay in the morning.

We pitched in heavy rain and wind though managed to find a sheltered spot close to a shower block in the Benview Field. The wardens woke us up bright and early the following morning chasing our overnight fees!

The site is very well laid out with more than adequate provision of toilet and shower facilities. It was by no means full while we were there though still quite busy and the toilets, free hot showers and scullery areas were never crowded.

The location of the site is enviable being part way down Glen Nevis, well placed for an attack on the UK's highest mountain. There's also a handy public bus that runs down to Fort William and back, though it was a bit pricey given that the town centre is only a couple of miles away.

It wasn't too loud at night though some guys in a tent close to us were having a merry time settling for sleep and complaining about the pond inside their tent - all in good humour though and they soon quietened down.

Overall this is an excellent site - just beware of the evil midges! 


Date of Visit: August 2007 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: MJ Spice 9 reviews from this member

 This is a commercial site ( we normally use Camping and Caravan club sites) and it was delightful.
 
Very quiet (no screaming chav type kids/families which are a feature on some commercial sites) - toilets and showers were spotless all the time (again unlike some commercial sites I have been on where the aforementioned chav types seem to take great delight in messing them up) and there was an excellent motor home service point.  The site shop is well stocked but a little pricey, Morrisons is only just down the road in Fort William.
 
Reception staff are mostly foreign but are very good.  The local people are friendly.
 
There is a restaurant and bar but it's about 200 yards down the road.
 
Downside? - midges, midges and more midges - that's a feature of the Scottish Highlands I'm afraid - plenty of mozzie repellent is essential.
 
Fantastic location at the foot of Ben Nevis.  The train ride from Fort William to Mallaig is a must, the local train service is a quarter of the price of the steam train and takes exactly the same route - there is a wonderful view of the viaduct used in the Harry Potter films which the Hogwarts express goes over!
 
If you're going to hike up Ben Nevis then get fit! (unlike me.)

Reviewer: Brotherboard 2 reviews from this member

 Had a two night stay here, in order to climb Ben Nevis. 
 The reception staff were friendly and helpful. We got a nice EHU pitch which was flat and level. I was impressed by the large purpose built washroom /toilet facilities which were spotless.
It rained heavily overnight but there was no flooding under our tent, drainage was good there, though there were a few boggy spots in other areas.
Being such a large site there  was naturally lots of activity, pleasingly this settled down  around 22:30 and by 23:00 the site was peaceful. We did our own cooking, but made use of the burger van after coming down from the mountain !
 
A large busy site, but surprisingly quiet ( a plus point for us)
 
Will use it again. 


Date of Visit: August 2007 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Panda67 4 reviews from this member

 After a 3 night stay at Glen Nevis, we can only echo a lot of the other comments. Very impressive site, well run and organised.
The shop was well stocked and the on site burger van was  welcome, quite decent fish & chips as well.
A short walk to the site pub/restaurant. Only grumble was that children are not allowed in the bar after 7pm, but they could go into the restaurant.
Considering the size of the site, we were  impressed by the consideration of our fellow campers. On our part of the site anyway. We never heard any noise after 11pm which was great.
A great site with great facilities - highly recommended. Beware the mozzies!
