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).

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We loved the immaculate grounds and facilities on site. Grass cutters, litter pickers and cleaners seen regularly throughout our stay. Warm and welcoming staff. Lovely cafe. Free WIFI although didn't use too much due to signal being so good (we didn't expect haha) Handy Laundrette. Stunning heated bathroom and shower facilities with the Highland Soap Co hand-wash and cream for use. Great dishwash room. Wild chickens roaming the grounds. Finally, the stunning location, with Ben Nevis backdrop and river next to our electric tent pitch was just Beautiful, tranquil sounds.

Disliked: Grass electric pitch site could use some TLC however this is expected given tent set up for hook up sites.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The views alone was worth staying for. Group of 5 on a MTB holiday the camp was located 4 miles from Ben nevis base camp so was ideal, The staff are friendly and helpful and the best thing was how clean the toilets and shower block are.

Disliked: The pitch we stayed on wasn't completely level so was slightly uncomfortable

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.
