  • Peaceful park managed with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere
  • Spectacular Highland scenery at the foot of Ben Nevis
  • Enjoy the views and fresh mountain air
What spectacular scenery is this, set in the Highlands at the foot of Ben Nevis, with fresh mountain air and forest footpaths winding... yes, we get a tad poetic when scribbling about the scenery of Scotland. But. Have a look at those site pics. The vibe at Glen Nevis Caravan & Camping Park is of the peaceful and relaxed sort – pretty much a cert among scenery like this – and is in an award-winning, friendly and popular place about five minutes' drive from the town of Fort William. This is a topping location whatever your tastes: clambering mountainwards, biking through forest, walking by river and sifting through Scotland's history and heritage are all close by. The Glen Nevis team takes pride in the neat landscape and tidy facilities of the park, which is set over 30 acres of grounds flanked by trees, hedges and shrubs. And, as you like to see after a day clambering mountainwards, biking through forest etc, Glen Nevis Caravan & Camping Park also comes with a roomy and comfy bar and restaurant (pore over the old photos and the collection of antique kettles while you're there), and a cafe for guests to partake of an appropriately filling breakfast before a day out exploring or a lighter lunch before an afternoon stroll. Cakes, scones and pastries are always on sale too – something else we always like to see...

What customers say

Great spot below Ben Nevis with awesome views & hikes. Clean site, spacious pitches, helpful staff. Shop & food good, pub handy. Showers a bit old, occasional noise/midgies, but overall a top choice!

Liked Good value for money campsite. Showers are free to use and were always hot, good shop onsite and food stand.

Disliked Toilets can be dirty, but are generally good considering the number of people that use them.

Liked Fantastic site, huge facilities block per section of the site, pitches well maintained. Toilets always clean no matter what time of day. Shop and restaurants on site which was super! The site was so peaceful at night and the view of Ben Nevis was stunning. I asked for a pitch close h near to facilities due to mobility issues and the site manages to get me really close by.

Disliked Being really really picky, it would have been good to have some more bins dotted around.

James H.

Powered grass tent site

Liked We knew the site well from previous use many years ago but felt that this time around, things were slightly chaotic. The weather did not help but we were advised just to find a space where we could, which worried us as we had booked a spot with electric, had the children and the site was very busy. We stayed for 2 nights, changing spots twice having compromised the first night, and booking the camp site for 6 nights. Not great TBH. Our camp site before and the one we had to pay again for had designated spots with power, which is what we expected and much safer. We did not feel welcome by staff and their food van also advised their chips were gluten free, which an evening of sickness and diarrhoea conflicted with that advice.

Disliked Allergy advice.
Abrupt member of staff (female) in an electric van.
Seemingly very little structure or safety considerations.
Seemed a 'free for all' approach to spaces.
Not so child friendly. Perhaps that is the nature of the site.

On foot It is roughly a 45-minute walk to the park from Fort William - just follow the road up the Glen. It's paved all the way. By bus Fort William - Glen Nevis Stagecoach operate a daily service from Fort William bus station to Glen Nevis, which runs 2 or 3 times a day in the summer.

Local attractions

Indoors, outdoors, relaxed and active types are sorted here, with activities for all sorts easily accessible within a short drive. Heading outdoors first (there's a reason why Fort William is nicknamed 'the outdoor capital of the UK'), walks, bike rides, snowboarding, watersports and a whole heap more are all close by. Glen Nevis and its surrounds are crisscrossed with forest and riverside walks for all levels and abilities – and don't forget there's a mountain to climb for those so inclined too...? Cycle trails are also close to hand, as Fort William is a popular stop for cyclists and has nearby forests with networks of tracks as well as many purpose-built cycle paths. If you want to pedal further, lots of quiet roads leading to remote Highland communities are reachable on day trips. Snowy pursuits? The slopes of Aonach Mor are open to skiers and snowboarders in the winter and have some smashing runs for snowy sorts of all levels. Watery and more pursuits? Mountains, forests, lochs and the North Sea are all easy to get to from Glen Nevis Caravan & Camping Park, so curious Georges could try kayaking, go-karting, canyoning, salmon fishing or quad biking in the area among many more... Less manically, take a Nevis Range Cable Car or visit the West Highland Museum a few miles from base to see the area's scenery and history, or go nature spotting in the surrounding area to look for red deer, pine martens, otters, red squirrels, dolphins, seals, grouse, golden eagles: the Highlands have a nicely diverse range of wildlife and boat tours/guided walking tours are available to spot it in several areas. Also have a trip on the Jacobite steam train – yes, the one in the Harry Potter films – from June to September and from Fort William to Mallaig; and take a hike to Glenfinnan Monument, the viewpoint and visitor centre at the head of Glenfinnan telling all about the monument and the 1745 uprising. (Glenfinnan Viaduct is viewable from here; you might recognise it from the Harry Potter films too.) For castles, have a look at Eilean Donan Castle on the road to the Isle of Skye and Inverlochy Castle, the ruins of which date back to the thirteenth century; and for canals, go to Neptune's Staircase and the Caledonian Canal linking Fort William to Inverness, with paths on either side to stroll along.
