This caravan park lies about three miles north of Fort William, along Glen Nevis itself. Its wide, flat, entrance road leads to the modern and well-appointed reception buildings, with a roomy waiting area for motorhomes. This large and exceptionally well-run park provides separate fields for caravans, motorhomes and tents, and is screened by trees, hedges and shrubs to give a cosy atmosphere.
The camping and caravan park is part of a larger complex which includes holiday homes and chalets, which are located in separate fields.
On the park, you'll find yourself surrounded by mountains, tall forests and lush meadows which contain a wealth and variety of wildlife. You can enjoy a stroll by the River Nevis or explore winding forest tracks. If you are feeling energetic, you can follow mountain paths and enjoy spectacular views from the top over the whole area.
A variety of pitches are available for motorcaravans, including grass or hard standing, and from basic to fully serviced (electricity, water and drainage) with car parking beside each unit. Additional services are discreetly positioned around the park.
The needs of motorcaravanners are well catered for with the provision of a purpose-built drive-over service point which offers facilities on both sides of the vehicle for the disposal of waste water.

The park has its own spacious, comfortable, restaurant and lounge bar, which is not far, even from the furthest pitch. Or, if you prefer, there is a snack-bar trailer, which serves a variety of take-away food.
Glen Nevis Park enjoys a magnificent location in one of Scotland's most famous glens at the foot of Ben Nevis, and offers all the ingredients for an ideal touring holiday.

Practical Caravans Top 100 Parks Awards 2003

As you would expect of a site which rests beneath Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain, Glen Nevis Caravan and Camping Park enjoys some terrific scenery. It’s perfect for those in search of active pursuits, or those just wanting to do a spot of sightseeing.

Sheltered in the glen just outside Fort William and surrounded by rugged peaks, the site is made up of eight fields covering 30 acres, with separate fields for caravans and tents. Of the 250 touring pitches (all of which are level), 200 have electricity (13A) and 100 also have their own water and drainage.

Four modern toilet blocks are placed discreetly around the park, with excellent washrooms including hot showers that cost 20p a go. There are well-equipped laundry facilities, and a scullery for preparing food. Disabled visitors are well catered for, with good facilities in the toilet blocks. Super-pitches with their own water and waste, as well as electricity, can also be reserved.

The site is incredibly popular during peak months, and the atmosphere can be somewhat bustling, but it is never noisy or intrusive. The reception staff are fantastic, and we found them very helpful. They all know the area inside out, so you’ll never be at a loss for something to do.

Visitors can explore the Glen Nevis Estate’s 1000 acres with its miles of walks, best of which is the eight-hour round trip to the top of Ben Nevis. Among the glens are waterfalls and an Iron Age fort. Other local attractions include a whisky distillery, animal parks and Neptune’s Staircase, a system of locks on the canal connecting Lochs Linnhe and Lochy. You could also take the delightful road to Mallaig where there are ferries to Skye. Glen Nevis is a most attractive location. If you can’t find peace and quiet and spectacular scenery here, you won’t find it anywhere.
