- Eric P.September 2023AdvantagesMany - Super location - good restaurant - friendly staff - clean sanitary facilitiesNegativesNoneTop placeBeautifully situated course in Glen Nevis. Offers many walking routes from the site, for experienced walkers as well as beginners and seniors.
The sanitary facilities are getting on in years but always clean!
But it's also down to the campers!!! Everyone is considerate and friendly!
The catering on site... is good and sufficient, the restaurant offers a variety of dishes that are very good for the Scottish price-performance ratio!
Pitches are generously laid out. The site is very well divided into several areas for caravans / WOMO and tents.
There is also a small store for the essentials and a small stand for breakfast (English/Scottish).
We will definitely visit this site again due to the location and the fact that dogs are also very welcome there. There is also a large exercise area for dogs on the site.Automatically translated. - Klaus-Peter A.July 2023AdvantagesGreat location, very clean, friendly staffNegativesnoneGreat start for Ben Nevis and GlencoeBeautiful site outside Fort William right at the entrance to Ben Nevis. Several hikes start directly at the site or lead past it.
Friendly and well-organized reception. The pitches are spacious and very well maintained. Washrooms and toilets are sometimes a little away from the pitches, but very clean and always available without waiting.
There is a food truck and a store on the site, but we didn't use either of them.Automatically translated. - Manfred v.August 2022AdvantagesThe site is located at the foot of Glen Nevis and is the ideal starting point for outgoing. hiking and mountain biking activities. The area is also ideal for walking. Access to the site is easy. The paths are wide and stress-free for larger caravans and mobile homes. and mobile vehicles. The site makes a functional and clean impression. The snack bar opens at 5 pm and a small supermarket stocks the essentials. The pitches are mostly level and for the most part, as is usual in England, hard pitches. The site is divided into regions with their own disposal points for waste and chemical toilets.NegativesThe site is large and has around 250 pitches, plus tents and camping spots. However, the facilities are quite small, e.g. 6 showers for the men. The frequency on the site is quite high. Most guests stay a maximum of 3 days and then travel on. Accordingly, there is no camping feeling. The site is more of a base camp for hikers and climbers. You can see that in the morning when hordes of enthusiasts in professional equipment disappear into the mountains.Functional space in a beautiful landscapeGlen Nevis Camping is certainly worth a stop, if only for the scenery and the fantastic mountains.
As a non-alpinist, a longer stopover requires stamina. The site is more like
more like a larger and better place to spend the night. The sanitary facilities have their age but are
clean as far as possible,... even if the quality is declining due to the small number.
The neighboring town, Fort William, is nice but very touristy.
Incidentally, the region is heavily frequented by tourists. A reservation is strongly recommended.
recommended. We had planned to stay 5 nights but left after 2 nights. During this
the campsite was fully booked.Automatically translated. - Arvid P.August 2019AdvantagesDirectly on Ben Nevis, very well equipped.NegativesIt's a bit far into the city.Really goodGreat, very large site. There is electricity and water for caravans, plenty of space for tents and garbage cans to rent. The price is slightly above average. The sanitary facilities are very good and very clean. You can shower without having to shower with your clothes and towels. There is a snack bar at the reception. The site is just outside Fort William, directly below Ben Nevis.Automatically translated.

- Eric K.June 2019Advantagesdirectly in Glen Nevis, near Glen Coe, near Fort William, clean, free pitches, not overcrowded, cheapNegativesCamping garbage cans should be booked one week in advancePerfect start on Ben NevisDirectly opposite Ben Nevis in Glen Nevis is this larger but well laid out campsite. There are garbage cans, pitches and pitches. Despite the season, it is not overcrowded and affordable. Fort William is just around the corner and it is an ideal starting point for all activities in Glen Coe or Glen Nevis. Highly recommended and very uncomplicated.Automatically translated.
- Heiko G.September 2018AdvantagesVery well maintained, spacious and in a great location directly below Ben Nevis.NegativesExpensive and the city is a bit too far to walk.When it rains endlessly...... even the most beautiful course can't really inspire. But it's not the place's fault that you can be unlucky in Scotland. It's certainly a great hiking area, and not just because of Ben Nevis - unfortunately we didn't see any of it. The site is of a great standard, the sanitary facilities are solid... and clean, the pitches are very spacious, laid out like a park and very well maintained. Unfortunately, in the weather conditions we encountered, the path to the toilet block is full of water. The reception is more professional than friendly due to the plastic size. Our most expensive pitch in 2018.Automatically translated.
- John M.August 2017Great place for couplesIt is a nice camping. Our overall impression would be 4,5. Everything is clean, and for couples is ideal. The only problem that we found was the shop. A part from that is great.
- Jürg B.June 2017AdvantagesDESPITE THE LARGE SPACE, YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE BECAUSE THE PITCHES ARE DIVIDED INTO DIFFERENT ZONES.A PLACE FOR EVERYONEWe had already visited the site in June 2011 and had fond memories of it. The site is beautifully situated at the foot of Ben Nevis. We arrived on Sunday from Bankholiday and despite being very busy we were able to choose a pitch. Friendly staff, quick check-in, the pitches are parceled out, large and... partly hardstanding, with water/waste water on request, 16 A electricity. Large, separate meadow for tents. The site is well maintained, sanit. Facilities always clean despite many guests, very good washing facilities (washing machine + dryer). ideal for hiking, mountain bikers. Gondola station to Ben Navis approx. 10 KM, as biker slopes. To the camp. Restaurant 5 min. on foot, good food To Fort Williams approx. 5 KM. Nice little town, car-free pedestrian zone with small stores and large supermarket.Automatically translated.
- Matthias G.August 2016AdvantagesLocated directly on Ben NavisBeautiful campsite close to Ben NavisVery nice large campsite. If you arrive early, you can choose your own pitch. Then you have the chance to get a very nice pitch, e.g. under trees. Otherwise very structured and functional. Large area for tents. Price for motorhome + electric + 2 adults + 2 children of just under 30 GBP is ok. Sanitary... facilities are good and reasonably clean. The store has everything you need. No infrastructure for children except a large meadow. The site is ideal for hiking on the Ben Navis. Otherwise too remote to walk to Fort William.Automatically translated.
- Heike P.May 2016AdvantagesSufficient space, good starting point, many possibilities, very good infrastructureNegativesVery large space, very well organizedGood basic pitchThe site is beautifully situated and has a very good infrastructure, sanitary facilities and overall handling are very good. We also felt very welcome there with 4 dogs. The site is perhaps a little too structured for our personal taste, not really something for individualists :-)Automatically translated.
- Herbert G.May 2015Very large place with lots of nature but little entertainmentVery large site at the foot of Ben Nevis, very clean, including the sanitary facilities. The staff at reception are very friendly, there is a small store on site and a restaurant nearby. For breakfast there is a snack cart that sells bread rolls with eggs or bacon. Otherwise, lots of nature (good for the dog or for hiking), but too far to walk to Fort William town center.Automatically translated.
- Friedhelm K.August 2013Really great campsite, also for tents. Exemplary sanitary facilities. Ideal as a base camp for hiking and sightseeingAutomatically translated.
- Henryk K.June 2013A good base for Ben Navis and other mountain trails. Despite the large area and large number of guests, it is orderly and peaceful. Ice-boxes can be frozen, hotdog kiosk on site. It is 3 km to the town of Fort William.Automatically translated.
- M Z.July 2012Very good location for climbing Ben Nevis. Large pitch. Washroom for the tent meadow unfortunately with few showers.Automatically translated.
- Jan S.July 2010Beautifully situated in Glen Nevis with a view of Scotland's highest mountain and the associated mountain range. This makes the site an ideal starting point for climbing the mountain as well as for other excursions into the Highlands. The River Nevis right next to it offers anglers the chance to indulge... in their hobby, while further up the valley hikers and climbers will find plenty of opportunities. The site itself is huge and divided into many smaller ones, each with its own name. However, it is not allowed to drive up to the tent by car on every pitch. Most of the areas are flat and often have trees and bushes. You will find dining sets everywhere which you can carry to your tent - provided it is not the vacation season and everything is already occupied. The sanitary facilities are all in top condition, there are fully equipped washrooms and kitchens. The small supermarket at the reception has everything you need - a little more expensive than in the city, of course. There is a snack van that offers hot snacks daily from 8.00 am to 9.00 pm and a restaurant with bar 10 minutes walk away. Buses to Fort Williams stop right in front of the entrance - it's an easy 45-minute walk to the city center.Automatically translated.
