 This is one my favourite sites in Scotland. The mist that cover Loch Linnie and the mountains across the water is unbelievable and is worth a trip just for this magical sight.
It is a short bus ride to either Fort William or Glen Coe by public Transport which runs regularly.
The is immaculately keep and nearly all the pitches are excellent. There is two near reception that should be avoided because of the slope but unfortunately at this site beggars can't be choosers.
A short walk from the site is the Corrin ferry which is free for foot passengers and there is a pub where the ferry docks that does a great meal.
I would recommend this site to anyone who wants peace and quiet but within short distances of other activities.

Our second visit to this site and its still one we rate in our top 5.
As with other reviews all facilities are top class and site in general immaculate.
For eating out try.
Four Seasons - opposite the site and only a couple of minutes walk. Or take the Corran ferry over to the pub on the other side of the loch.
The ferry is less than 10 minutes walk from the site and the crossing is free both ways for pedestrians and cyclists - a great afternoon or evening out.
The only minor niggle for us is the use of leaf blowers on CC sites - used to blow roadways clear but we saw grit being blown onto units.

We have just returned home today after visiting this site and it is without doubt the most picturesque we have ever been to! We managed to get one of two lochside pitches left and the view was stunning. It is such a quiet site and we were content wandering on the lochside and watching the oyster catchers feeding at the water's edge.
The Site - The wardens were helpful and friendly and the toilet block and facilities were up to the usual excellent caravan club standard. There is a play area for children and some dog walks on the site. Pitches are all hard standing and well spaced. There is a very good information hut on site which I always make a beeline for!
Around the site - This area is know for its outdoor activities and Ben Nevis and Glencoe are a short drive nearby. Fort William is a 10 mile drive away and has a morrisons and a number of shops in the high street. We didn't eat out while we were there as we enjoy cooking in the caravan but there were a number of restaurants mentioned in the site info hut.
We would definitely visit again and are already missing the mountains and the Lochs!

Wonderful site, with stunning views across the loch to the mountains. This has to be the most beautifully placed campsite in Scotland. We live not too far away, and have already stayed at the site at the foot of Ben Nevis, which was great, but thought we would chance an impromptu couple of days without booking. We were very lucky to get a place, and the next day managed to move to one right on the shore (when we left, there was a queue of vans waiting for a pitch. )
Our stay was so relaxing, and I really didn't want to come home. We visited Glencoe village, which has a fascinating small museum, and the best coffee shop ever (on the way to the museum when parked in the car park, you can't miss it).
We then drove over the mountains to Kinlochleven, and had a nice meal in the hotel there, where I was delighted to find out that there was a way back which hugged the edge of the loch rather than the clouds! (The views from the top were spectacular, according to my entranced husband, but I'm not much of a one for heights and I was driving anyway, so I'll take his word for it).
Fort William always has plenty going on, and there are free boat trips across to the peninsula from a pier close to the campsite.
But the scenery is the star here, and despite us being relatively used to it, we were totally enchanted by the beauty.

This is a beautiful site situated right on the shores of the loch. The road approaching the site is very narrow. It does have traffic lights to ensure that you don't meet someone coming the other way.
The hardstanding pitches are massive with plenty of room for our caravan, awning and car. It was busy when we arrived and there were no pitches near the shore. We ended up near the toilet block but still had wonderful views across to the mountains beyond.
The toilet block is not as modern as many I have seen on a club site. The showers seemed cramped compared to some. It was however cleaned thoroughly every day. It just seemed a little dated. Everything else about the site was immaculate.
The club has done well by not squeezing too many pitches in and there are large areas of grass which give a feeling of space between pitches.
We spent four days here and were blessed with good weather. We spent a day at the Ben nevis range and took the cable car up an adjacent mountain. The views were great but we felt the price of £29 for a family of four was a bit excessive.
The cafe at the bottom of the cable car is much nicer than the one at the top! The following day we did the waterfall walk which is in a forestry commision park on the opposite side of the main road from the site. A bit of a climb but worth it for the waterfall and view of the loch and coastline.
Another day we cycled from the site to the Corran ferry which is less than 1/2 mile away. It is along the main road but as we have children we kept on the wide pavement all the way. The ferry is free for cyclists (£6.70 for cars) and the roads are much quieter on the other side of the loch. We spent a morning exploring by bike before taking the ferry back to site.
We also visited the Seal Sanctuary on the way to Oban. There is a fantastic cafe on the main road there, just by Castle Stalker (from Monty Python days). We happened on it completely by accident but it serves wonderful local homemade fare. We also took a drive out to Glencoe which has the most beautiful scenery and is only 10 minutes from site.
Overall a great site and well worth a visit. We looked at the C&CC site in Glencoe whilst we were there but it's location cannot touch that of Bunree's. We hope to visit again soon.

Absolutely fabulous site, great views over Loch Linnhe and the best sunsets ever seen and only 10 mins dive from Fort William.
We stayed at this site with our 2 young children, there was a park for them & hours of crab & shell hunting on the pebbled beach at the Loch side.
The toilet block was very clean with plenty of free hot water & considering the heating had broken is was considerably warm enough to have a shower & not be dithering when you got out.
The shop was very basic & only sold a handful of items but there was a very large Morrisons in Fort William & also a MacDonalds which was a nice treat for the kids.
The staff were very friendly & extremely helpful.
We took a day trip to the Isle of Mull which is a 45 min drive from Ardgour to the Lochaline ferry, with stunning views on the way & the kids got to see the wild deer, which was a bonus.
Tobermory (Balamory) Mull is definitely worth a trip & Calgary Bay with its golden sands.
The only bad thing I would say is DON'T eat off the regular chip van that visits 2 days a week because although the food is cook fresh the batter on the fish & sausage was like eating sponge & the chips were cooked in fat that tasted like it was 6 months old.
All in all, this was one of the loveliest sites we have ever visited & would definitely go back.

Congratulations CC on this wonderful site, it's now probably our most favourite. We stayed on what was the most frostiest weekend of the autumn so far where we witnessed the loch looking like glass, glimpsed an otter and seal and watched the most perfect red sunsets.
It's all been said before but we just can't extol the virtues of this site enough.Stunning location with captivating views, excellent clean facilities and very welcoming and helpful staff.
A drive down the coast to Oban is a must, vista after vista round every bend and make the effort if you can to walk to McCaigs Tower, the view is amazing.
Also recommended is the Sea Life/seal sanctuary on route to Oban. It's a wonderful informative and fun day out for adults and children alike.
Back to beautiful Bunree and one little gripe. Am sure this is not exclusive to this site but it seemed quite the norm here. Some fellow campers seemed to think the rules didn't apply to them.Dogs left off their leads to wander, noise until the wee small hours (surprised the wardens didn't pick up on this one) and people seemed to think it was ok to wander through fellow campers pitches, big sigh.
Can't wait to return here though.

This is a great site, we arrived from Fort William to find it well sign posted from the main road with a nice wide access off the main road. The access road between main road and the site quickly narrows to a single track road but this section is controlled by traffic lights so there is no chance of you needing to back up to allow passing.
The site reception is small but covers all of the basics and was manned by helpful and friendly staff who explained the pitches they thought would be free and suggested we take a walk/ drive to find a pitch we liked the look of and then let them know at reception so they could issue us with the appropriate barrier fob, it was great for us and allowed us to locate a pitch was just on the water front with a fantastic view across the sea to the Peninsular on the other side.
Overall layout great pitches well spaced out to allow clear unobstructed view of the beach and sea. The facilities block was great not too far away very clean at all times and well thought through in its design.
There is a small children's play area which kept our 6 year old occupied for a short time. The site has a great stoney beach and benches on the grass area that separates pitches from beach so it makes for a lovely stroll with the opportunity to sit admire the views, which are stunning, or just contemplate life.
A fantastic site to which we will return and this time we will pick a non waterfront pitch so we can have the benefit of our awning. We would highly recommend this site!

We love it here; it's beautiful surroundings and a clean, well run site with a nice play area for little kids (as well as all the joys of playing on the beach.)
Minor gripes - some of the tap fittings at the motorhome fill points don't come off which means unless you have their end you need to wait for the one that does shift. There can be a queue for showers at busy times.

Well we visited this site at the end of July / early August (wife and I plus 2 kids aged 14 and 12) and we had a great time, despite the pretty dire weather! Last time I was in this neck of the woods I was doing the West Highland Way walk, and we had one day of rain, in an otherwise gloriously sunny week. Unfortunately, the opposite weather applied this year but it didn't put us off.
Weather aside, the site is marvellous. The location is fantastic (right on the lochside), the facilities are clean and well maintained and we found the wardens friendly and very helpful.
Out and about, you can walk or cycle to Corran Ferry; less than a mile away, and cross for free. We then cycled on the far side of the loch, in the direction of Fort William, along a relatively quiet road, before coming back for a quick pint (not cheap mind) in the pub prior to boarding the ferry back home again.
Further afield, we (me and the kids.Wife too scared!) went on the high ropes at the Nevis visit centre which was fun, and visited Oban and the Glencoe visitor centre, where we saw a very entertaining presentation about traditional highlanders, culminating in a musket firing!
For the fishermen (or fisherwomen) amongst you, this was for me, the best bit. We fished from the car park wall in Fort William (on left as you go in. Costs £1.50) either side of high tide, using feathers and I managed to bring home 9 good sized mackerel, which tasted great on the bbq! Also went trout fishing at the very scenic (even if you don't fish and just fancy a nice walk out) Glencoe Lochan. As you're entering Glencoe you turn left then immediately right, follow the road until you cross a small bridge, then turn left at the signpost. The car park is straight on, but bear left to buy your permit. It costs £7 per day for a 4 fish limit and they average 1.5. To 2lb. My son and I caught 7 between us using powerbait (the bait of choice here) fished about 6 feet down. If you don't catch for a while move on. It's by far the best way to fish it and you see more of the scenery.
As for the fishing on the site, you can fish the loch for free. Best area is as far away as you can get from the site entrance, near the tree line. It's a little deeper here with less weed and you lose less spinners, than the area near the river mouth. We used kosters or other silver fish type lures and had small pollock, codling and mackerel, plus a very tasty sea trout! Chaps fishing on the bottom mainly caught dogfish.
The site has a small play park and an indoor pool table near the drying room. Awnings are not allowed on lochside pitches which is good as you still have a view if you're behind them, and if you've got sky (for when it's really wet!) you can get a reasonable signal if you're nearer the loch.
In summary, a very enjoyable holiday in a beautiful location, on a friendly, well maintained site. Just be prepared for all kinds of weather.It's the price you pay for such scenery! Will be visiting again.
