In an area of outstanding natural beauty

Scenic Highlands site by the shores of Loch Ness
A 25-minute drive from Urquhart Castle and 55 minutes from Inverness
Restaurant and shop on site; watersports and archery nearby

If you fancy spending some of your holiday trying to spot Nessie from lakeshores, and some taking in the scenic Scottish Highlands, take a look at Loch Ness Highland Resort, a family-friendly site in the village of Fort Augustus. Just five minutes’ walk (less than half a mile) from the shores of the famed Loch Ness, there are no prizes for guessing what the biggest draw is around these parts. The site’s also about five minutes from boat cruises on the loch, and from the Caledonian Canal (which runs from Inverness to the west coast at Fort William) and the 79-mile Great Glen Way that largely follows its route. For those in need of rather more activity, the site team can recommend local activities such as whitewater rafting, kayaking, gorge walking, river rafting, rock climbing, abseiling and archery, so staying busy is a cinch. The site itself also spreads across 40 acres of countryside, so kids (and excitable grownups) will also have plenty of space to run about in. All this could possibly be hungry work so it's handy that there's a bar-restaurant right on site to sort meals, and a handful of local eateries in the pretty Fort Augustus. After making sure everyone is fed, spend the long evenings during high season keeping eyes wide open to spy out eagles, ospreys, red stags, pine martens and red squirrels.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Great location just a short walk to the village

Disliked Toilet and shower facilities need improvement. There are only three toilets for the campsite. There are no hand drying facilities. There is no changing area in the showers so not easy to get undressed, dried and redressed. The pitches are a good size however it is all gravel, basically has the feel of a large car park and hard to walk on. The restaurant and bar is advertised as being open 7 days a week, however it was closed Monday and Tuesday.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Spacious plots and location close to town centre. Quiet.

Disliked Looks like it is unfinished as a site. Toilet/showering facilities appear temporary and inadequate if site is busier. Poorly lit. (no lighting on motorhome site at all)
Too expensive for what was on offer. I think when finished to an acceptable standard it has the potential to be a great site and currently looks like early days of a 'work in progress!'

Strange setup well described in other reviews. Shame because this site…

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The pitch was a good size , the site was well placed for easy access to the town .

Disliked This site is still under development, and is not ready to have paying customers. The facilities are very poor, there are only three toilets and three showers plus a small bathroom that are unisex for the whole site . The showers are on a slope so all the water spills on to the fake grass so it is sodden. With so many people using the facilities they are dirty and wet. The chemical waste is a hole in the ground and we didn’t find a waste water facility. It’s a shame as it could be a great place

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Nice big facilities.

Clean.

Disliked Toilet black was a long walk away.
A lot of fencing that makes you take long walks around. A few gates would go a long way.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The enormous, spacious campsite. It looked very fancy as we pulled in which in comparison to the place we had the misfortune of staying the previous night- let’s say we were over the moon!

Very lovely site, staff and views! The pitch was spacious. We could see you are working on your site as a whole and it seems new. Will be great when all the new trees have matured etc.

Disliked The fact there is no cut through to walk out of the camping area to get to the front of the site or the village. I had to walk all the way around and I’m disabled, the gravel is hard to walk on and it’s a long way round! Please make some exits in the fences to make it easier!

The loos and showers are lovely and new, however you need twice as many because the field wasn’t even half full and we still had to queue for facilities. The one washing up station is totally inadequate.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean showers and toilets. Large pitches.
The location is excellent with near vicinity to the village and canal locks. It's a beautiful area of Scotland. Plenty of pubs and restaurants.

Disliked Whilst the toilet block was clean and quite new it was small and the facilities are mixed. The cubicles are like portaloos in a wooden shed. It is a new site and has loads of potential but needs some work.
No tv reception or WiFi. This could be a plus as we played dominos and talked to each other. I won most of the games and my husband gave up and went to bed.
We could not find a supermarket.
The advertised bar and restaurant seven days a week was shut Monday and Tuesday.

Local attractions

Explores of Loch Ness are an absolute must on any stay here. Make immediate tracks from base to the spectacularly placed Urquhart Castle (25 minutes’ drive), then continue onwards to the Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition (30 minutes) to learn about 500 million years of the lake’s history and to find out where all those Nessie stories started. Travel the length of Loch Ness to reach Inverness (55 minutes), where there are botanic gardens to wander, dolphin-spotting tours to take, a cathedral and castle to visit, museums and arts centres to traipse through, and plenty of shopping to be had. Just outside the city, a stop at Culloden (an hour and five minutes) comes highly recommended to learn more about the battle that ended the Jacobite uprising of the 18th century. Heading south instead, a 50-minute drive will land guests in Fort William, the starting point of hikes up Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest mountain, as well as the home of the Ben Nevis Distillery and the West Highland Museum. Further afield, it’s a little over an hour to the edge of Cairngorms National Park, explores of which should include stops at Dalwhinnie Distillery, the Highland Folk Museum, RZSS Highland Wildlife Park and Landmark Forest Adventure Park, among lots else.
