  • Pop-up site half a mile from Spean Bridge in the Highlands and Islands
  • Nevis Range Mountain Resort 10 minutes’ drive; Ben Nevis 20 minutes
  • Self-serve coffee; food on weekends; shuttle bus to Nevis Range
Heading for the Highlands and Islands? Then you should be pleased to hear about Glen Spean Camping, a pop-up site with a family atmosphere half a mile east of Spean Bridge. This site might be simple – facilities include portable toilets, sinks, picnic benches and a common area (no showers) – but the views to the Grey Corries and Aonach Mòr in the Nevis Range are spectacular. The site is on the road to Skye and Inverness, a short drive away from the Salomon Skyline Scotland trail running event, and 10 minutes from Aonach Mòr. Shuttle buses to take you up to all the action in the Nevis Range Mountain Resort (10 minutes’ drive) will be running a couple of minutes’ stroll away from the field. Meanwhile, Fort William and Loch Linnhe are just a 20-minute drive away from the site; check out the West Highland Museum, Ben Nevis and the Ben Nevis Distillery. Back on site, there is an on-site brewery with a bottle shop running events on some evenings; it's open on Fridays and weekends only, as well as the occasional Thursday. Self-serve coffee is provided for those who would like a morning or afternoon brew, and there's also food available on weekends from the Hebridean Larder food truck.

What customers say

Top spot with amazing views & friendly owner. Great value! Unique toilet & brewery a hit. Basic but functional facilities (compost loos, shared kitchen). A few found it tricky for longer stays, but showers are coming. Dog fees sorted.

Liked Firepits with a nice vibe

Disliked No proper toilets - some boarded up wooden cubicles with a pile of sawdust and no sinks or flushing water - bit steep for £24 a night and an extra £10 for the dog.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi! We are a simple campsite, and that might not suit every sort of tourist. Our toilets are quite conventional compost toilets, besides the camera obscura toilet which is one of a kind. On a practical note, we do have two sinks and a tap about 15m from the compost toilets, and charge £5 nightly for dogs rather than £10. Showers are pending.

Really excellent campsite with great views.…

Sarah D.

Unpowered grass campervan or tent site

Liked Great location and price, really friendly staff, superb facilities despite it being a "basic" campsite - compost loo, tap, outside sink but also a little kitchen shed with fridge, kettle and air fryer.

Disliked The only downside is outside their control - as someone arriving by train, I had to walk about 1km along the grass verge of the busy main road to and from Spean Bridge.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the comments Sarah, I'm really glad you enjoyed it here! Also if you come back next year, there should be picnic table exactly as you described.. Do come again! :)
