Adjacent to the Blackwater Hostel and looking out over the River Leven, this site is a haven for tired feet. Situated along the West Highland Way, with Kinlochmore villages pubs and shops within a five minute walk, it is a perfect stop for keen hikers. The site has a total of 35 camping pitches set on grass without electric. These small 2m x 2.4m pitches suit only small tents for one or two people - sorry, no space for larger tents! If you're a camper who fancies a touch of luxury, treat yourself to one of 12 glamping pods. The pods all have a microwave, fridge, electric heating and a TV for your evening's entertainment. There are four mini lodges sleeping up to two people in single beds and three micro lodges sleeping up to four in two single beds and a double. For anyone wanting some added space, there are then three mega lodges, also complete with two single beds and a double for up to four people, but with the addition of a dining table and chairs. With stunning mountain views and ideally located next to The Ice Factor National Climbing Centre, this is a lovely Scottish Highlands retreat. Ben Nevis is just a 40 minute drive away for keen climbers and the glorious Loch Leven Viewpoint is just a 15 minute walk away. Raised BBQs are welcome for anyone wanting to enjoy some al fresco cooking. Please note, open fires are not permitted. Dogs are welcome onsite just please keep them on the lead.
