  • Well-established site only four miles from Inverness
  • Spectacular views over Inverness and the Black Isle
  • Excellent base for exploring the Highlands
A stay at this Scottish site, four miles from Inverness, should tick a lot of your holiday boxes. Ready for the reasons? Read on. First up, the scenery: every one of the pitches at Ardtower Caravan Park comes with clear views towards the Bonnie Black Isle and the mountains and hills beyond, as well as fetching 180-degree vistas of the Moray and Beauly Firths. It's easy to get to yet more Scottish scenery from here too, as the park is only a five-minute drive on the B9006 to the A9 motorway, and set on a hillside between Inverness and the Culloden battlefield (the Culloden Visitor Centre is less than three miles away). If swish facilities are always on your holiday list, tick that box as well, as the site has high-quality amenities and a geothermal renewable energy-powered amenities block with underfloor heating and insulated walls, roof and floors. Shower cubicles, washbasins, loos, hairdryers and shaver points are in the ladies' and gents' washrooms, alongside infant and toddler bathing and a baby changing (up to school age) facilities, including a half-size bath and low-level WC and sink. And yet more: there's a laundry room with a washing machine, tumble dryer, a deep sink, an iron and an ironing board and an outdoor drying area. There's also a covered dish washing area and hot/cold water sinks with easy access. A marine-style disposal with self-pump tank waste is on hand for larger motorhomes, and a standard grey water disposal point covers motorhome services. And even more: the small on-site shop has self-service tea and coffee, a soft drinks facility and snack cabinets.

Guests praise this campsite for its excellent facilities, fantastic views, and peaceful atmosphere. The clean toilets and showers, featuring underfloor heating, were particularly appreciated. While most found everything great with no bad points, one guest noted the shower buttons required frequent pressing.

Liked Excellent site with fantastic views. Was very quiet while we stayed. Toilet and shower facilities were clean and tidy and the underfloor heating was a bonus.

Disliked Having to press the shower button every minute made trying to wash my long hair quite tedious.

Local attractions

A couple of miles from Ardtower Caravan Park is the Culloden Visitor Centre, telling the world-famed tale of the last battle of the Jacobite Rising in these parts in 1745. Heaps is around to see and do here these days, including exhibitions, a battle immersion film, a battlefield guide and accounts from some of the battlers involved. A regular bus service to Inverness runs from the stop ten minutes' walk from Ardtower, so ditch the car and have a day around Urquhart Castle and its gardens, Inverness Castle and the city's many historic buildings and modern shops. Plenty of activities and attractions are in the surrounding area and the Highlands and Islands, whatever your holiday tastes, from boat cruises to whiskey distillery tours and dolphin spotting to getting busy in the outdoors at Fort William. Fishing, cycling, mountain biking and horse riding are all nearby too, and several golf courses are also within easy reach.
