Fort William

Morning all

I'm looking to do a mini road trip up to Fort William in two weeks time and looking for tips and local knowledge of camping grounds in the area that aren't necessarily on the normal Google results.

Will be taking a few days to go mountain biking and just chilling out in the evenings so any insider knowledge, so to speak, would be great

I was at Fort William a couple of months ago, the town has been cleaned up quite a bit in recent years.

The Glen Nevis campsite has stunning scenery all around but is popular and no doubt this will have shown up on your Google search. There is another not too far away called Linnhe Lochside Holidays, I've never camped there but it looks really nice.

Hope you have a lovely time!

This would be a first time visit so I'm hoping for a good experience The Glen Nevis site did indeed pop up but I'll keep it in mind as.

Aside from the Nevis range there is a really nice mtb ride starting from the Braveheart car park near the Glen Nevis campsite. Goes up the forest road, takes in some of the West Highland Way and comes back over Cow Hill. A nice remote change from the trail centre.

As far as camping goes, I usually use the Glen Nevis. Easy walk into town, there is a restaurant/bar right beside it, good facilities and big enough to not usually feel crowded.

Try Glencoe on the way... Amazing scenery with a chair lift taking you up to the top of the mountain biking course.

You can get a pod there and food... this may help.. have fun

outside your bedroom window ;-)

Was up Ben Nevis the other week mate. There is a park at the foot as across the road from the starting point that looked lovely.
