Nevis Range Campervan Park Reviews

Drying facilities

Great location, good hook-up and near to the main centre. But lacking in drying facilities. Give it 8-10.

It’s ok

The drive up to campsite is riddled with potholes. The site itself is very confusing with the way it's marked out. The showers and toilets are clean but a little bit far away from parked vehicles.

10/10

First and foremost your receptionist, sure she was Australian, before we even arrived she helped us so much over the phone, so friendly. On arrival she was very welcoming, very helpful. I I am aware this is her job but she didn't make it look like it was just a job (she needs a pay rise!). Massive thank you to her as this was our first time trying this. I wish we had booked both our nights with you and she would have been the reason. We already booked the Saturday night elsewhere before finding you. Facilities were clean, the little extras I noticed in the ladies were appreciated even though (thankfully) I didn't need them. The road from reception was a bit bumpy with pot holes, one big one, our camper thankfully handled these easily. I was worried about falling into them on the walk to the toilets. Some lighting along that path/road would be so useful. The café in the morning, sadly wasn't the greatest. The young lady serving us was less than helpful, when asked for brown sauces, she flung her hand over in the direction of a table where, actually there was no brown sauce. We ordered link sausage rolls, these were served dry with the sausage on them, wouldn't have been as bad if the sausage was on the side to give options before we had to deconstruct our roll. The sausages were cold. Yes, I could have complained but I wasn't actually sure what more, other than microwaving my bitten sausage, could have been done. Also had to go back and ask for sauce again where the same girl mumbled and walked away to a young gent who actually went to get us the sauce. Unusually, the prices were quite fair! I genuinely expected them to be more expensive. Had the sausages been hot, it would have been acceptable. All in, we'd definitely stay again. The campsite was lovely and quiet, there was a bright light on the little building opposite us which was a little annoying. Easy to find too and the best price we found for the night.

Okay

A nice enough site, which looks like it may be a work in progress. Great shower facilities. No grey waste drain. Bar on site was fab. Road into campsite has very large holes that need filled and there is foul smell from septic tank next to the facility block.

Not value for money

Said toilet and shower but they were in another part of the complex. Expected a view but all you could see was trees from campsite. I think it's best parking in a car park, unless you need electricity but I don't think £13 for electricity is worth it.

Quiet place close to Fort William

Well-developed environment close to the camping site.

1 Night

Good and beautiful place. Unfortunately, the sanitary facilities are quite far away from the pitch. Cleanliness of the sanitary facilities not good and of 4 hairdryers only 1 worked. Showers also not clean and glass broken.

Forest setting

Really quite when we stayed even though you are next to the downhill and gondolas. Facilities were great, practical and clean.

Nevis range

A quiet place, it was clean and sanitary.

Just passing through.. a place en route

Friendly, helpful staff. Good, clean amenities. Easy to book. Good options as to on site restaurant etc.

Good

A good place for a stopover on my journey, excellent luxury facilities

Park in car park

The campsite is nice but basically, you are paying about £15 per night for electric and in a campervan, you would struggle to use £1 per night. Would go there again but not in the camping area.

Great location

Great location. Relaxed site.

Good for site access but pricy

Very convenient for Nevis Range, but quite pricy given the lack of facilities. An enclosed dishwashing, kitchen area and drying room would be appropriate for the cost. Paid less at many sites in last two weeks that had these.

Site's response

Hi Nicholas, thank you very much for your feedback. I'm really sorry that you feel this way about our prices, we try and keep our prices within the same price range as other campsite here in Fort William. In regards to our washing up area; this facility was damaged during our last storm, but we are in the process of fixing it. I will happily pass your feedback onto our line manager as all feedback is welcomed and we do want to be able to provide the best experience possible to you all.

Ace

Lovely area plenty for the kids to do. Clean and quiet. Facilities and shower were spot on 👌

Pleasant stopover

Last minute stopover - used the camper site site rather than the overnight option in car park as we wanted EHU. Jazz was really helpful despite us arriving late. Easy set up, great facilities, showers were great! We ate in the bar, food was great and staff were lovely. Fab spot for cycling, walking and running! We will defo use this site again.

Great showers and toilets

Great showers and toilets, pitches could do with grass areas to make it easier for awnings to go up. Overall, great site, stunning location, and beware the midges.

Very helpful staff in the hotel reception. Extremely clean facilities would definitely use again

Very convenient for the Nevis experience

Perfect for an overnight stopover

Great place for an overnight. Level spots though some people seem challenged on where to park as even though they were well laid out, the wood markers did cause an element of confusion. The toilets and showers were close by and clean, though the hairdryers weren't working at the time. Only negatives, nowhere to dump grey water, though there was a place for black water and maybe a short term element but there were two skips at the entrance full of rubbish not a great advert! Otherwise, the receptionist was super friendly and helpful.

Not the best experience

I recently stayed at Nevis Range Campervan Park, and unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. Here are some of the main issues I encountered: Mountain Biker Focus. The park seems primarily geared towards mountain bikers, which might be great if you're into that, but for those looking for walking hikes directly from the camp, it's quite disappointing. There are no clear walking trails accessible from the campsite itself. Inconvenient Facilities. The toilets and showers, although clean, are a three-minute walk from the caravan park, which isn't very convenient, especially during bad weather or late at night. When we arrived, the showers were out of service due to lack of fresh water. This issue was fixed during our stay. Lack of Essential Amenities. There's nowhere to drain grey water, which is a significant drawback for campervan users. Additionally, the bins provided are small and not emptied daily, leading to overflowing rubbish and an unsightly mess around the park. Poor Customer Service. The customer service at Nevis Range Campervan Park leaves a lot to be desired. There was minimal support or assistance offered around the caravan park, which was quite frustrating when issues arose. There was no clear place to speak to someone in charge of the campsite. Gondola Experience. On a positive note, the gondola ride up the mountain provides access to beautiful walking trails with stunning views. However, this doesn't compensate for the lack of on-site hiking options. Beware of Midges. Lastly, be prepared for the midges. They were everywhere, making it difficult to enjoy outdoor activities around the campsite.

Nevis Range observations

Just a few words about our stay. To be clear we came up for the British Cycling Nationals race so were not surprised about the amount of people that were on site this weekend. Showers - Nowhere near enough hooks, shelves or stands to put things on. Floor inside each shower cubicle is soaking wet as would be expected, but only 1 hook on the back of the door was not adequate. I think the amount of access cards for the shower block were over sold. Not entirely sure how it works in terms of hotel guests and whether they have en-suite facilities but there were not insignificant queuing times / waits to have a shower. The showers were cold/cool at some point on Saturday evening. Not sure what happened. System not able to cope or something went wrong? Water - Showers and bike washes out of action on Sunday. Really not sure what the "Low Water" message that was put on the signposts meant. Is the entire facility fed by tanks perhaps? Other guests - We met a few other motorhomers that were staying in the hook up area who had no idea about the bike event. They weren't particularly happy as had trouble parking their motorhome as others, directed by Nevis Range staff, had parked in their allocated spot. These people were also upset by the shower issues described above. Campsite hook up area - It's not entirely clear where to park and whose camping area was whose. We were ok as we were on plot 4 so had plenty of space, but I noticed lot's of other people not really know what to do, where to park, where to set up gazebos and tents adjacent to their camper vans. Water supply - It would be good to have more fresh water supplies dotted around the hook up area. Very inconvenient to have to move the van to fill the on board tanks with water. Grey water - Unless I missed it, I couldn't see a location where campervans and motorhomes can drain the grey water tanks from their vehicles. This needs to be provided if not present.

Sporty place

Nice place full of downhillers. Got help from a very freindly lady at the ticket desk.

Great campsite with lots to do

Excellent all round. Enjoyed the location, the restaurant and a forest walk and then went up the gondola in the morning which was great. Will definitely go again. Thanks.

Great site for visiting Gondola and for downhill biking

On check-in we were allocated Pitch 1. It was immediately next to a skip which was full of rubbish. The skip was being used for rubbish because the bin facilities are very restrictive (i.e. tiny holes). We were moved without any issue. The showers are terrific. Spotlessly clean and hot. Only complaint is that there is nothing to hang your clothes or towel on other than the floor. We felt the layout of the pitches is very confusing. Difficult to know where to sit outside. And finally, a grey water dump would be great. Would stay again.

Not recommended

We paid for the night at the campsite, but had to pay to leave because the fence would not open without it. It was too early to find someone to help solve this problem. At the reception of the hotel and the ticket office, it was either that no one there or it did not open for another hour. Would not recommend.
