Very beautiful spot at the foot of Ben Nevis in an open valley. Spacious facility, very quiet. Everything is very clean and well-maintained. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Despite the 'Scottish rain', we felt very comfortable. Highly recommended!!!

The size of the space is well concealed by many hedges. The sanitary facilities are good, and for a deposit, you get a "Reserved" cone, which is great for motorhomes if you want to go out again (no fixed spots are allocated). There is plenty of space for dogs to run around.

Beautiful campsite at Ben Nevis, which, however, hides in fog for 300 days. The site is well-maintained, the sanitary facilities are old but clean. The staff is friendly, internet costs £5 a day and works perfectly.

Beautiful site. Spacious pitches with views of Ben Nevis. The site is very well maintained. Toilet facilities clean but in need of renovation. The shop on the site is very expensive. The reception was a bit tedious and unfriendly. It depends on the person. Good place to climb Ben Nevis.

Frequently asked questions about the campsite Glen Nevis Caravan & Camping Park

What is the location and the pitches like at Glen Nevis Caravan & Camping Park?

You will be camping in a beautiful, open valley directly at the foot of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Great Britain. The spacious pitches for motorhomes and caravans are mostly gravelled, while the tent areas are located on partly flat, partly gently sloping grassy terrain. Hedges and trees divide the area into cosy sections.

Can I hike directly up Ben Nevis from the campsite?

Yes, absolutely! The start of the hiking trail up Ben Nevis is only about 500 metres away. The campsite even offers guided hiking and mountain tours. If you want to explore the Scottish Highlands on foot or by bike, this is the perfect place for you. Bicycle and e-bike rental is also available directly on site.

Are there any special tips for motorhome travellers or the Scottish weather?

A brilliant service for motorhomes: you can get a "Reserved" cone at reception for a deposit. This allows you to secure your pitch if you drive away for an excursion during the day. Since Ben Nevis is often hidden in fog and it rains frequently in Scotland, you should definitely pack weatherproof clothing.
