  • 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

Spacious, clean sites with stunning Ben Nevis views. Well-stocked shop, helpful staff, good food. Clean, plentiful facilities (though dated). Great for hiking. Minor gripes: occasional Wi-Fi issues & shop prices.

Liked Location is fabulous. Beautiful scenery and convenient location close to town. Kids play area was good. Plenty of toilets and washrooms/showers for guests. Pitch was fine in terms of size and upkeep.

Disliked Decor and facilities are dated. Showers were not great compared to other sites.

Liked We loved the location, the cleanliness of the facilities, the layout (prevented us from feeling too overcrowded and gave us plenty of space), the pub and restaurant onsite (very handy!) and the smooth organised way to book, pay, glide onto site and off again. Fabulous!

Disliked The site was really busy but the outdoor food court was not open. I realise this may be end of season but it is the school holidays…

Liked A Perfect Highland Escape!

Glen Nevis Caravan and Camping Park is an absolute gem set in one of the most stunning locations in Scotland. Surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery and just a short distance from Ben Nevis, it’s the perfect spot for anyone who loves the outdoors. The park is beautifully maintained — the pitches are spacious, the facilities are spotless, and everything is clearly well cared for.

The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with local tips or directions for walks and activities. Whether you’re camping, in a caravan, or staying in one of their lodges, you can really feel how much thought has gone into making the park comfortable and peaceful.

The on-site restaurant and shop are both great conveniences, and the walks straight from the park into the glen are simply unbeatable. It’s the ideal base for hiking, cycling, or just relaxing and soaking up the Highland views.

I’d highly recommend Glen Nevis Caravan and Camping Park to anyone looking for a clean, well-run, and incredibly scenic getaway. I can’t wait to go back!

Liked Ease of check in and finding pitch - no waiting around as received clear instructions pre arrival. Friendly staff. Plenty of space between pitches. Toilets and showers very clean despite us visiting during horrendous weather conditions when you’d expect to find wet muddy floors everywhere. Lots of laundry capacity and very efficient dryers. Fully serviced pitches well maintained and this was the first site where we haven’t needed levelling ramps!! Touching distance of Ben Nevis. Reasonable dog walking area. Range of items available in the shop. The breakfast truck was an unexpected but welcome surprise. Will definitely visit again.

Disliked Smell from the chemical waste at side of dishwashing areas - I don’t think all people realised that the chemical waste needs flushing.

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.
