  • 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).

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Pizza
Convenient spot for stop off

Showers needing constant button pressing
Toilets running out of paper
Speed bumps poorly marked and viscous- even at dead slow hit towbar
No wifi on pitch

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Lovely clean, very well managed site. Great facilities including Laundry services, pizzeria, and very new and clean toilet and shower facilities.

Disliked: There wasn't anything to dislike about the site. Only gripe if I had one was we couldn't connect to the Wifi for my older son to watch the football, as the codes written down for us didn't work.

Jill G. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The site is beautiful, peaceful and has great facilities. The river and views of Ben Nevis are breathtaking. The toilets/showers were clean and modern. The added bonus was having 5G ! I loved the chickens wandering around the site.

Disliked: My only gripe was significant, I only realised just before I left to travel , that I couldn't park on my pitch, as a solo parent, setting up camp is challenging, but especially so when I was quite far from the carpark. My main tent is an air tent, which I inflate with an electric pump that runs off the 12v port in my car, which meant I couldn't erect it. I ended up buying a pop up tent which saved the day. I think the lack of access should be made clear before booking.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Everything about the holiday is perfect, we had a lovely time, been able to walk out my tent with the beautiful Ben Nevis right in front is something everyone needs to experience, weather your walk Ben or not. Facilities are very well maintained and are very well modernised as well. Little pizzeria restaurant on site with pizzas hand made and are top quality.

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.
