  • Family-run touring park five minutes’ walk west of Fort Augustus
  • Loch Ness five minutes’ walk and the Great Glen Way 10 minutes
  • Hardstanding pitches for stopovers; pubs and shops five minutes’ walk
If you’re looking for a handy overnighter in the vicinity of Loch Ness, the location of Loch Ness Caravan Park takes some beating in terms of convenience. This welcoming and family-run touring park is alongside the A82, just outside the lively waterside village of Fort Augustus. Currently operating as a stopover for motorhomes and self-contained caravans, the park offers level hardstanding pitches with optional electric hook-ups, charging facilities and disposal points. It’s set on former farmland adjacent to the owners’ working croft, so from time to time you may see Highland cows grazing in the field next to the park. It’s a family-friendly five minutes’ stroll into Fort Augustus, where you can explore the shores of Loch Ness (10 minutes’ walk) and exercise any four-legged companions along the Caledonian Canal towpath. There are pubs and cafés in the village, and a supermarket where you can pick up barbecue goodies to grill and eat back at your pitch.

What customers say

This tidy, quiet park has big, flat sites, a 10-15 min stroll to Fort Augustus & Loch Ness. Owners are super friendly & helpful. Fresh water & waste disposal are handy. No toilets/showers, but it's clearly advertised & great value for campers with their own. Playground & local walks are a bonus.

Power optional concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Lovely spot with scenic views all round. Friendly owners greeted us on arrival. 10 mins walk to Fort Augustus (cut through golf course for beautiful walk down the canal to the town. Ended up staying an extra night as we loved it.

Disliked Not a dislike as per se as we knew before arrival, but would definitely be boosted by having toilets.

Power optional concrete and grass caravan site

Liked What an absolute gem of a campsite. Very much like a French Aire. No showers or toilets but fresh water, chemical and grey waste disposal. A short walk to the village. You can cut across the golf course and follow the Caledonian canal. Large pitches, some with picnic tables. We loved it.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Power optional concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Great to find a real aire type site in an aire type location.
The UK needs more sites like this to enable easy trouble free motorhoming as is possible in Europe.
A well laid out park-up with services within easy walking distance of the village amenities.

Liked A friendly welcome to the park. Really handy for motorhomes to fill up with drinking water and to empty waste water and toilet. Clean and well kept. A great location - 10/15 minute walk into Fort Augustus and viewing point of Loch Ness.

Local attractions

The famed Great Glen Way (10 minutes’ walk) runs through Fort Augustus, and from there you can follow sections of it along the Caledonian Canal, or get high into the surrounding glens for hikes through pine forest up to waterfalls like Allt na Criche (45 minutes). As well as giving access to Great Glen Way rambles, Fort Augustus (five minutes) is home to the flight of five locks built by engineer Thomas Telford in the 1820s to unite the Caledonian Canal with Loch Ness. It’s also a departure point for boat cruises along the loch, during which you can look for Nessie. You can carry on your search for the elusive monster at The Loch Ness Centre (35 minutes’ drive), and then get down to some serious history at Urquhart Castle (half an hour), scene of centuries of battle and today a peaceful ruin overlooking Loch Ness. Heading north you'll hit Inverness (an hour) for tours of the castle and the tropical glasshouse at Inverness Botanic Gardens.
