 What a amazing site, with great views across the loch, often fantastic sunsets and rainbows. Great area for walking and also near to Ferry ( much cheaper way of getting to Mull, than via Oban)
Site is well laid out, great facilities, washroom and toilets clean and warm. Local pub within 15 mins walk Fort William within 30 mins drive. Site owners really helpful, will hope to go again as most beautiful site with iconic views

Unfortunately this is the first site I have ever been disappointed with. I made a mistake with the dates and we arrived a day late. We travelled from London to Scotland and arrived with the Warden saying that she gave our pitch away and she could only accommodate us for two nights rather than four. We pitched up & a few of the pitches were out of order. When we asked why, we were told they had no electric. We don't need electric and thought problem solved? No. We enquired and were told we still couldn't use these pitches. Very frustrating that there was absolutely no intent of helping us out.
Overall the site was nice, with good views and clean facilities.
I would never go back due to the extremely non helpful attitude of the member of staff on Reception.

Without a doubt this has to be the best Caravan Club site on the network.
Although it's been stated here that the loch side pitches are in demand, there were plenty available during the 2 weeks we were there. This was probably due to not being able to erect an awning on these pitches, plus the fact that all pitches have stunning views of the loch. We preferred to have an awning and had great views from pitch 54.
The one toilet and shower block was immaculate, with cleaning of the gents from 11:00 - 11:45 and the ladies from 11:45 - 12:30.
Access to the site is via a remote key fob which operates a security barrier and works very well. Access to the site with the fob is 24hrs a day. A traffic light system operates on the single lane entrance without any great problems, but the entrance straight off the main road can be a problem if a unit arrives too early. There's only enough room for one unit on any part of the entrance.
I'm not sure if my new tom tom had a glitch, but I put in the postcode and I ended up turning right off the main road, which was 200yds away from the entrance I should have taken. The entrance to this site is easily missed, it's right on a bend and care needs to be taken.
The main attraction from this site has to be the stunning location. The views of the mountains across the loch are truly breathtaking. We took the Corran ferry, which is 5 mins from the site, to the quiet roads across the loch and spent the whole day cycling along peaceful roads and taking frequent stops at stunning bays looking back along the Great Glen towards Ben Nevis. Just be aware that it's very remote and you'll be wise to pack a lunch and take drinks.
Fort William is only 10 mins away in the car and well worth a visit. The Nevis range is 5 mins further and well worth a visit, especially the gondalas that go up the mountain. For the fittest cyclist, you can take your mountain bikes, or hire them and go to the top of Nevis range and cycle (or throw yourself) down the world championship course. We'd rather watch, but we did see many fall off the super fast course and the ambulances were always in demand!
My only gripe about this site was the uselss wi-fi. It's expensive at £15 for 20hrs, but the connection was very poor. One evening I tried for 1. 5hrs to get on to different sites without success, yet was still charged. 3g was far better (which I pay £2 for 24 hrs!)i certainly won't be using the CC wi-fi facility again until they sort out this poor service.
We had 2 weeks at this site and we didn't have anywhere enough time to take in everything the area has to offer. We can't wait to return.

What a great location, right on the lochside and you don't need to be pitched on the front pitches to get a great view of the loch, pretty much every pitch has a loch view.
Wardens happy to let you move pitches the morning after arrival if you want to, no awnings allowed on the front pitches though. Toilets spotless and lovely warm showers.
The pub in the village at the entrance to the site served great food but also take a trip over on the Corran Ferry to the pub on the other side as that too was great. Easy to reach Fort William where a trip on the Jacobite steam train is a must.
The site was immaculate and would definitely return.
My only complaint would be that on two mornings I was woken by the bin men arriving on site at 7.30am and making plenty of noise collecting the rubbish,
Also the constant grass cutting which was happening during our four days at the site became frustrating as it was always during the late afternoon when you wanted to have a relax and a read of the paper and enjoy some peace and quite before an evening out.

First time I've ever joined a queue to check in at a Caravan Club site, and this was mid-week and not during school holidays! Unfortunately, the chap in front of me got the last lochside pitch, but still got a decent spot.
Everything as you'd expect, wardens pleasant and toilet block very clean and up to scratch.
I do object to the Club's obsession with hard standing pitches but nowt my little voice can do about it! It also never ceases to amaze me how many lazy people cannot be bothered to walk to the toilet block via the roads rather than across other people's pitches, shows a lack of common decency, and my pitch was right on the route.
A beautiful site having said that, with stunning scenery and very well maintained.

The site is fabulous. It is very well kept and the wardens are unobtrusive. The views are stunning and due to the sloping nature of the site, virtually all pitches get a spectacular view.
We have two children and they really enjoyed playing at the play park and on the pebbly beach too. The dog and I enjoyed the beach too. The pebbles are all different types of granite and it was the perfect place to watch the wildlife (oystercatchers in particular) or take some amazing photographs.
When travelling from the South, the site is on a right hand bend and you need to slow down to ensure you do not miss it as there is no sign prior to the bend. The access road is narrow, but the traffic lights ensure there are no problems.
We used the new cycle paths virtually every day. We cycled from South Ballachulish to Kentallen and had a drink at the very hospitable Holly Tree Inn. Unfortunately the cycle path finishes at Kentallen, so the next day we parked in the big lay-by near Linnhe Marine, at Portnacroish and cycled to Appin and then along the quiet road to the picturesque Port Appin. A small passenger ferry runs across to the island of Lismore which is well worth a visit either to explore by foot or on bike.
After several years caravanning, this has to be one of the best sites we have ever stayed on. There is so much to do nearby. However, as the site is such a tranquil place, it was tempting just to stay and sit in the spring sunshine and enjoy the views!
We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Had a great 3 days at bunree for half term. The site was very quiet so got a great pitch with a cracking view across the loch.
Wardens were great and very friendly, small shot on site had only bare essentials, but we had brought plenty with us, so no worries there.
Facilities immaculate, small play area for kids, but more time was spent skimming stones and pottering on the beach. Nothing to dislike at all at bunree.
We went to the local bar/restaurant called the four seasons which was just ok, it really seemed as though it was chefs night off and the waitress was cooking. Couldn't recommend but it could have just been unlucky.
Can't go wrong with the site though

Fantastic! We have visited this site 3 times now and will continue to as there is so much to do when touring in this area. The views from your caravan window of Loch Linnhe and the surrounding hills are breathtaking. A brilliant base for outdoor activities whether it be hill walking, cycling, kayaking or just chilling out and enjoying the scenery. A short drive will take you to Fort William and Ben Nevis, whilst Oban is a 40 min drive away. The nearby Onich Hotel is well worth a visit for reasonably priced, excellent food. The site facilities are always clean and tidy with good laundry amenities. A small children's playpark is on site as is a dog walk. If you are lucky, you may even catch sight of the seals on an evening by the water's edge.

To find site:- South from Fort William on the A82. After about six miles pass Corran Ferry on right. Ignore turning to Bunree and continue across bridge and entrance to site is clearly signed immediately on right. The approach from the main road is single track with passing places and the final section is controlled by traffic lights.
Bunree must have one of the most stunning locations in the Caravan Club network. It is situated right on the shore of Loch Linnhe. The site is slightly terraced with a gentle slope from the rear of the site down to the Loch edge. There are 99 pitches all of which are on hardstandings. The pitches around the perimeter of the site facing the Loch are slightly smaller than those further into the site and awnings are not allowed on these pitches, however they are much sought after. Non-members are accepted but there is no provision for tent campers. There is one single toilet block to a very good standard and it even has a drying room which members can use at their own risk. For children there is an adventure style playground and a games room which has a Pool table. Site wide WiFi is available at normal CC charges. Mobile phone connections seem fine. Reception sells a few essentials. Satellite TV reception can be difficult on most of the campsite because of the mountain immediately behind the site, however digital TV reception was fine using the caravan aerial.
The opportunity for excursions from the site are endless with many of the famous Highland sites being within reasonable travelling distance. Even nearer to home there are lots of places to visit locally including the Glencoe Visitor Centre a few miles away. For shopping Fort Williams is the best bet being about 10 miles from the campsite. There is a Morrison’s supermarket which also sells fuel at a lower price than elsewhere locally. For eating out there are two restaurants within walking distance of the site and a third if you don’t mind using the Corran Ferry, although don’t leave the return journey too late as the ferries stop just after 9. 00pm.

Wow! No other words can express the feeling you get when you arrive at this site. The location is fantastic especially (if like us) you manage to secure a front lochside pitch.
This is our second year at this amazing site and we enjoyed our stay as much this time as last year. The site itself is immaculately kept including the toilet facilities. The wardens are all very nice, friendly and helpful.
Lots to do from the site - walking in Inchree forest (across the road), take the Corran ferry and try the pub there, visit Glencoe and Fort William or just chill out and enjoy the spectacular view across the loch.
Only one small criticism and that is the narrow road leading to the site. We left the site at 11. 30am (as we were only travelling eight miles away and couldn't get onto the new site until noon) and there were four motorhomes trying to get onto the site.
There are traffic lights to try and minimize the flow but beyond the lights the road is very narrow with barely enough room for one vehicle let alone two. It is easy to avoid this problem though - just leave Bunree before 10. 30am and it is quite clear.
Will be going back again next year.
