  • Peaceful holiday park with fantastic views of Ben Nevis and beyond
  • A five-minute drive from Fort William and the Ben Nevis Visitor Centre
  • Great Glen Way within a 25-minute walk; wifi available on site
The highlight of a trip to the Highlands and Islands? Feasting your eyes on the UK’s tallest mountain range – and that’s exactly what you can do the whole time you’re settling in at the scenic (and aptly named) Ben Nevis Holiday Park. This well-maintained site in Scotland, set by the River Lochy and with lots of green space for kids to play and grownups to wander, also looks out across the Aonach Mor mountains. It makes a brill base for day trips by car, bike, train or foot in the Lochaber area as it’s just over five minutes’ drive from the centre of Fort William. Cycling and walking paths are close to this park – including the famed Great Glen Way along the Caledonian Canal (25 minutes’ stroll) – and a selection of shops and restaurants is just down the road. If you’d prefer not to venture far from base to gather supplies, a store on site sells the basics, camping supplies and local produce, while a café and takeaway serve up a range of light bites and drinks. Other conveniences at this thoughtfully run park include electric hook-ups, a coin-operated laundry room, clean toilets and showers, and laundry amenities. Families and groups are warmly welcomed here for hiking hols (or restful trips).

Liked Location was great.
Staff were lovely.

Disliked My only real dislike was that the push button in the shower lasted about 20 seconds. I understand why this is, however if it was slightly longer the experience would be better.

Nigel H.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Location

Disliked Got there late on Saturday. For non electric camping. No pitches allocated so people had parked cars and pitched tents wherever there was space which meant when we got there there was no where to pitch. They should force people to move cars to a designated car park or mark out pitches. In the end we had to squeeze in between 3 tents (after telling the other campers we had no other options) on an area which was a soakaway for the lodges which flooded the next day. Luckily other campers left on the Sunday so we had to move everything to another pitch the next day. Only 1 toilet block for the entire site and by mid morning on the Monday there was no toilet paper in the ladies. I would only go back if I had a touring van or hired a lodge if I wanted to go up Ben nevis and no other accommodation was available else where.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Die Lage ist perfekt für Wanderungen und Radtouren.
Der Campingplatz liegt am Fluss und hat Blick auf den Ben Nevis.
Es gibt ein kleines Restaurant, beliebt zum Frühstücken.

Disliked Reinigungszeiten für die Sanitäranlagen sehr ungünstig ( 9 Uhr )
Ein tägliches Pizzaangebot ab 17:00-20:30 Uhr gab es nur bis 19:30 Uhr an einem Tag und am anderen gar nicht.

Local attractions

The owners reckon there’s something for everyone around this site, but walkers and cyclists are especially sorted when it comes to activities. If you’re up for a trek, challenge yourself to one of the trails up Ben Nevis, getting intel on which ones to tackle at the mountain range’s visitor centre, just over five minutes’ drive away. If you’re after a lazier lope, amble along the Caledonian Canal from the locks at Neptune's Staircase (25 minutes’ walk) or get your RDA of exercise by nipping in and out of the shops of Fort William (five minutes’ drive). The town has plenty of stores selling mountaineering kit if you need equipment to try out the more intense pursuits – think skiing and downhill biking – available in the area. For a family day out, make your way to the Glenfinnan Viaduct (25 minutes’ drive) and see if the kids recognise it from the Harry Potter films – the Hogwarts Express was filmed crossing this oh-so-scenic bridge. Saving perhaps the best activity till last, top off your trip by paying a visit to the whisky makers at the Ben Nevis Distillery (15 minutes’ walk) for a few drams of one of Scotland’s finest exports.
