  • Luxury site five miles from the outdoor activities of Fort William
  • Surrounded by spectacular scenery
  • Baths and adventure playgrounds
Off to the Highlands for outdoor pursuits? Flocking to Fort William to climb Ben Nevis, pick your way up sheets of ice, have a hill walk or hurtle down a mountain on a bike? More power to your padded elbow – you’ve picked quite the place. Fort William calls itself ‘the outdoor capital of the UK’ and has all sorts of sporty options on offer, from hair-raising ice climbing and whitewater rafting to quad biking and snowboarding; if the thought of these is making you a little faint, there are plenty of placid pursuits round these here parts too. Either way, you’ll be looking for a luxury berth to come back to, so hightail it to the centre of the Highlands and Linnhe Lochside Holidays, a four-star park five miles from Fort William. There’s stunning scenery around Loch Eil and the surrounding mountains, hedges and shrubs set around to support local wildlife, and a particularly impressive private beach with free fishing and boat launch… The park amenities include baths for those who might have staggered down sore-muscled from Ben Nevis, a launderette, a drying room and wifi across the entire park with free access for the chalets. Toddlers have their own playroom and there are adventure playgrounds for the bigger folk (no, not parents: presumably you’ll be burning off your energy ice-climbing instead).

Liked: The location of this site is spectacular with breathtaking views across the loch. Staff onsite were really friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Facilities were quite basic however they were clean. Also, at no fault of the site or its staff but beware of midges! We will definitely be more prepared if we stay again.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (medium)

Liked: Lovely views when your pitch allows , reception open and able to get in no issues, warm showers
Close to fort William and us going to the Jacobite

Disliked: Showers , far to small U can't even have a shower without a face full of shower curtain or shower pole was highly infuriating mouldy showers that stink soaking Floors as the showers spray everywhere especially if U have to leave the curtain open so U don't smash Ur face on the pole for the shower or get attacked by the curtain, no information about needing to ask for bath tokens at reception had we have been told about this while in reception we would of asked before reception closed
Asked to move pitch as our original had zero view other than the back of all other vans in front was told the pitches we asked about were not available however all were and had no one in them all evening which was frustrating the pitch we did move to had a nice view so not a total bust
WiFi barely worked

Non-electric grass tent pitch (four person)

Liked: The site had everything we could ask for as a mother and son on a paddle boarding trip. Water taps by the camp sites. Showers were amazingly hot and lots or room in cubicles for drying. Even a bath! Multiple access points to water. Site was very well kept, clean and tidy. And has it's own dog exercise area . Burger van do a great breakfast for an early start.dish washing facilities were on point. Staff were very kind and very friendly and shop on site for nessesities (and freshly baked pastires) when asked in advance to be near the water was given multiple options on arrival.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (medium)

Liked: Very well organised site, lovely clean shower and toilet block ( with a bath! ), the visitor centre/shop looked nice, and it was a nice quiet site in a beautiful lochside location. The 10min taxi ride into Fort William was £15 so not too bad.

Disliked: Nothing, apart from the Scottish midges, but I don't think these are the owners fault!

Route directions

From junction 10 on the M9 motorway at Stirling, turn left onto the A84, following the signs for Callander, Crianlarich and Fort William (A85 and A82). The site is about 5 miles from Fort William. To get there, continue on the A82 for about 2 miles in the direction of Inverness. At the traffic lights and mini roundabout (next to the BP garage), turn left. Follow the directions to Corpach and Mallaig on the A830. Go past Corpach village for about 1 mile until you see a big signpost and the entrance on the left-hand side. From Fort William station you can jump into a taxi (usually about £10) or on a bus (destination Corpach). Buses run every 20 mins throughout the day and every hour or so in the evening. From Corpach bus stop it is a walk of about a mile. There is also a local bus (Shiel Buses) which operates from Corpach Village; however it only runs three times a day, each way. It will pick up or drop off outside the park entrance. Fort William has regular coach and rail connections from most major UK towns.

Local attractions

Activities on land, sea and in air are the order of the day in Fort William and the Highlands, with almost every outdoor adrenaline-focused activity possible catered for. Get an overview of it all at the Nevis Range Mountain Centre, which has high wires, snow sports, the Mountain Bike World Cup each summer, and the country’s only mountain gondola for scenic sights. More sedately, the glens around this area are prime fishing spots to land brown trout and Atlantic salmon, and there are mackerel and herring shoals off the coast. If you’re new to the art, local excursion companies provide all tackle, training and equipment. Go out on the water less hair-raisingly than in a raft or kayak with a cruise down Loch Linnhe, on the Sound of Sleat, on the Caledonian Canal or down Loch Shiel to Acharacle. There are boat trips from Fort William pier to Seal Island and its breeding colony of grey seals, with seal spotting and birdwatching trips available from several other nearby islands including Skye, Craigleith and Colonsay. Within an hour, beachcombers can reach the famed silver sands of Morar; look out for Nessie’s cousin Morag at nearby Loch Morar. Several indoor activity centres and attractions are within easy reach too for rainy days: that ice-climbing can be had at The Ice Factor in Kinlochleven, or see how Highlanders used to live at the living history Highland Folk Museum at Newtonmore (there’s a West Highlands Museum in Fort William too). The Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary at Oban and the Kincraig Wildlife Park at Kingussie are both just over an hour’s drive away, or take a stroll to the award-winning Treasures of the Earth a mile and a half away from Linnhe Lochside Holidays with its caves displaying crystals, gemstones and fossils. (Grownup concerns can be met by a tour of the Ben Nevis Distillery.) Loch Ness, the Isle of Skye and the other Hebridean islands are all easily reachable for day trips, and Inverness is about an hour and a half’s drive away. For golf – another Scottish essential – four golf courses are around Lochaber and Fort William, all in seriously scenic locations: Fort William, Spean Bridge, Traigh and Fort Augustus on the shore of Loch Ness.
