General
- In a Highlands forest with spectacular mountain views
- Close to the Great Glen Way and near Loch Ness
- Modern facilities including shower rooms and small shop
Might you know what 'coille' means in Scottish Gaelic? It means forest – which as you'll see is a mighty fitting name for the Highlands site of Inver Coille, tucked into in its own surrounding woodland with spectacular mountain views from most areas of the site.
This is definite hiking (and Nessie spotting) territory: have a short evening stroll to the local viewpoints or pleasant hike along the Way to the nearby villages of Invermoriston (two miles) or Fort Augustus (four miles), all while keeping a beady eye out for the famed Loch Ness Monster...
To keep things peaceful and safe on site, the owners ask that cars remain in the parking area once guests have offloaded their gear; just ask if you need aid and the team will be happy to help, or you can grab a wheelbarrow to shift all your kit. Either way, call into the reception area on arrival, to pick up tourist info on the area or ask the knowledgeable owners for their top tips on what to see and do. You can charge your phones and other electrical gadgets in reception too, in exchange for a few coins into the site's charity tins.
Also on site is a shared amenities block with a washing-up area, drinking water supply and shower rooms. Water is filtered from the burn which runs alongside the site (through UV and coil filtration, and tested by the Highland Council environment department).
As befits such a wildly handsome Highlands setting, campfires are allowed here, so pick up your logs and firelighting kits as well as grocery items from the ‘Highland’s smallest shop’. Local shops, post offices and pubs are a few miles away.
Dogs are most welcome; the owners have three dogs of their own.

Many thanks for leaving us a review. We are really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the site, facilities and showers and that you would recommend us to others. We are aware that in the summer months that the highland midges can be a real nuisance, we do our upmost to keep them under control including having a midge machine working on site, our on-site shop sells midge repellent and nets. We also hire out fire-pits, as smoke from a wood fire can deter them. So yes, being prepared is good advice, and please speak to us about the midges, as we can help advise all guests staying here on what to do.
