  • Peaceful holiday park with fantastic views of Ben Nevis and beyond
  • A five-minute drive from Fort William and the Ben Nevis Visitor Centre
  • Great Glen Way within a 25-minute walk; wifi available on site
The highlight of a trip to the Highlands and Islands? Feasting your eyes on the UK’s tallest mountain range – and that’s exactly what you can do the whole time you’re settling in at the scenic (and aptly named) Ben Nevis Holiday Park. This well-maintained site in Scotland, set by the River Lochy and with lots of green space for kids to play and grownups to wander, also looks out across the Aonach Mor mountains. It makes a brill base for day trips by car, bike, train or foot in the Lochaber area as it’s just over five minutes’ drive from the centre of Fort William. Cycling and walking paths are close to this park – including the famed Great Glen Way along the Caledonian Canal (25 minutes’ stroll) – and a selection of shops and restaurants is just down the road. If you’d prefer not to venture far from base to gather supplies, a store on site sells the basics, camping supplies and local produce, while a café and takeaway serve up a range of light bites and drinks. Other conveniences at this thoughtfully run park include electric hook-ups, a coin-operated laundry room, clean toilets and showers, and laundry amenities. Families and groups are warmly welcomed here for hiking hols (or restful trips).

What customers say

This well-kept site boasts stunning Ben Nevis views, close to Fort William. Guests loved the clean, modern facilities, especially showers, and the friendly staff. Riverfront tent sites were a hit. Minor drawbacks included shower timer length and spotty WiFi. Some campers noted noise during busy times. Highly recommended overall.

Helen W.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked The lovely welcome. The toilets and showers were clean, modern and warm. The site was well maintained. Cafe with cakes and drinks. Breakfasts and pizza 5.30/8 some nights. The friendly, if slightly cheeky, campsite chickens. 1.9 mile walk into the town. Close to Aldi, m&s, b and m and mountain warehouse.

Disliked We were sold some logs on our first evening despite the shop being closed, but another staff member then said no to us buying some the following night… a bit confusing. Top tip… buy yours from b and m on the way!

Liked The setting was obviously amazing being so close to the mountains. The site was well laid out and the toilet block was central. The cafe was open most of the day and after our jaunt up Ben Nevis, we got a well deserved and delicious pizza. Overall a lovely and well kept site.

Liked View and dog waling areas, Cafe was pleasant.

Disliked Well away from the only shower block on the park, highly inadequate for number of people on the park. Expensive for what you get with poor facilities especially for kids.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Absolutely gorgeous scenery. Lovely, helpful staff on reception.

Disliked People/whole families constantly walking over our pitch although they are clearly marked out. They actually walked under our awning when we were inside our motorhome although being asked not to when we were sitting outside.
The toilets close between 9.30 - 10.30 for cleaning. This is a large site with lots of tents as well as caravans and vans. Not a great time to close the toilets.
Some of the toilet area /showers were covered in mud and really untidy with toilet paper lying in clumps on the floor. I had to clean a shower stall before using it as the floor was filthy. My husband saw a man cleaning his muddy shoes in a shower stall in the gents. Perhaps extra signs might help but you cant always ensure people will clean up after themselves.

Local attractions

The owners reckon there’s something for everyone around this site, but walkers and cyclists are especially sorted when it comes to activities. If you’re up for a trek, challenge yourself to one of the trails up Ben Nevis, getting intel on which ones to tackle at the mountain range’s visitor centre, just over five minutes’ drive away. If you’re after a lazier lope, amble along the Caledonian Canal from the locks at Neptune's Staircase (25 minutes’ walk) or get your RDA of exercise by nipping in and out of the shops of Fort William (five minutes’ drive). The town has plenty of stores selling mountaineering kit if you need equipment to try out the more intense pursuits – think skiing and downhill biking – available in the area. For a family day out, make your way to the Glenfinnan Viaduct (25 minutes’ drive) and see if the kids recognise it from the Harry Potter films – the Hogwarts Express was filmed crossing this oh-so-scenic bridge. Saving perhaps the best activity till last, top off your trip by paying a visit to the whisky makers at the Ben Nevis Distillery (15 minutes’ walk) for a few drams of one of Scotland’s finest exports.
