Glen Nevis
Our campsite has a fantastic position in the heart of Glen Nevis with a great selection of nearby walks.
Ben Nevis, the River Nevis, Woodland Walks, Steall falls, Highland Wildlife, Mountain Streams, historic sites - all available from your tent.
Climbing Ben Nevis
We are located at the foot of Ben Nevis and are a short walk from the 'tourist path' to the summit. It's a great climb and the views from the top on a clear day are amazing.
However, it's very important that you follow the safety information in the leaflet below and we recommend that you visit the nearby Glen Nevis Visitor Centre for more information on current climbing conditions before you set off.
Testimonials
"We stayed in one of their pods, so much warmer than camping, walked Ben Nevis for our honeymoon and would definitely come again. Pod has everything you could need and more... Heating and lighting excellent, storage amazing, and the bed turned to table easy to work out. At beginning and end of season I would highly recommend!."
Tripadvisor - September 2022
“The most beautiful camping spot overlooking Ben Nevis. Everything here is amazing - helpful staff, comfortable and modern Pod with everything you need for a pleasant camping experience. Bathrooms are super comfortable, showers with a vestibule for changing. There are also washing machines and clothes dryers. We were delighted with the place and the crew we met there."

Midges
Midges can be a pest in the mornings and evenings of the summer months. Our shop sells a range of candles, skins solutions and head nets that help if you find them a nuisance.
Caravan & Camping Club
We are recommended by the Caravan & Camping Club, but are not affiliated with them so do not offer reduced rates for members.
Bike Storage
We do not currently have a secure shed or storage space for storing bikes although there are plenty of trees, fences etc that you can chain them to.

Glen Nevis Estate
Guests are welcome to explore all 1000 acres of the Glen Nevis Estate during their stay!
Natural 'wild' areas have been created in the park to provide a habitat for our native flora and fauna, with pathways and picnic areas so guests can enjoy these areas at their leisure.
Walking in Glen Nevis
For the energetic, the footpath up Ben Nevis (highest mountain in the UK) starts from Glen Nevis. The West Highland Way also passes through Glen Nevis at the end of a 95 mile walk from Glasgow.
The Gorge is a fabulous feature of the Glen and provides a spectacular walk through to the higher falls.
The Lower Falls is easily accessed by foot and is a favourite point in the Glen for photographs. There are also gentler riverside walks and numerous quiet forest walks within the Glen. Reception staff will be happy to suggest a walk for you.
Camp Fires & BBQs
Open fires are not permitted on the park. We do allow small enclosed fires such as chimineas/braziers provide you can find a spot that is at least 5 metres away from any other tents.
BBQs are permitted and our park benches have a heat proof mat for disposable BBQs.
