About Glen Nevis Caravan and Camping Park

Set on a Highland estate with access to over 1,000 acres, including scenic woodland and roaming Highland cattle. Enjoy breathtaking scenery with stunning views over stunning Ben Nevis and the surrounding mountains. You can explore Glen Nevis right from the site with many footpaths through the forest and along the River Nevis! For tent campers, there are a range of grass pitches, varying from smaller backpacker pitches for those without a car, to designated numbered pitches with 16 amp electric hook ups. Pitches allow up to seven guests, with plenty of space to spread out. Trailer tents, campervans, caravans, motorhomes and RVs are also welcome, with a selection of hardstanding gravelled pitches to choose from. Choose between non electric, electric and fully serviced pitches with an electric hook up, water supply and drainage. If glamping is more your style, opt for one of the cosy pods. Sleeping two or three, the smaller pods come with either two singles or a double and the larger have three singles or a single and a double. Note you will need to bring your own bedding and towels. All pods have underfloor heating and double glazed windows to keep you nice and toasty even in the winter months. Each comes with electric and their own drying cupboard, plus a small kitchen area with a sink with cold water, an electric kettle and a fridge. The site also offers a generous range of top self catering accommodation, including luxury lodges, cottages and more. Purchase fishing permits from the onsite shop at reception and enjoy access to fish in the River Nevis. Up to two dogs per pitch are welcome and there are also dedicated walking areas for them to stretch their legs. Small fire pits and BBQs are allowed but must be away from other campers. Do note, if there is a high fire risk warning in the area they are not allowed.

Glen Nevis Caravan and Camping Park is open from 08/03 to 04/11.

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesOct 2024

Really nice campsite, beautiful location. We arrived around 5pm but there was no one to book us in and no information pack left. The facilities require a little updating but staff in bar/restraunt were very friendly

Great site

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesOct 2024

A great site for visiting the North West of Scotland, great views of the Nevis range and lots of walks available. The shop and campfire kitchen are excellent, the best we have seen in our travels. Great service, good clean toilets and showers.

Gorgeous place

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesOct 2024

Love this place so much we have extended our stay. The staff are amazing, friendly and very helpful. Will definitely be returning in the summer. The facilities are clean and the water is gorgeously hot in the showers. The washing machines and dryers are quite cheap to use compared to some places. Definitely worth the star ratings.
