This family holiday park is five miles west of Fort William, on the 'Road to the Isles' and Mallaig. Over two generations, the Sutton family has created a holiday park environment within the dramatic scenery of Loch Eil and the mountains beyond.
Flowering trees and shrubs support a variety of wildlife in this idyllic setting, which is ideal for peace and relaxation. There are individual, terraced, touring pitches for caravans and motorhomes, and several small, well-kept grassy camping areas.
The whole park benefits from extensive facilities, including a shop, laundry, barbecue areas, play areas and access to the loch for canoeing, boating and fishing.
The highest mountain in the UK draws your gaze from the site. Ben Nevis (4418ft), along with dozens of other high-level ridges and peaks, are within easy reach from here.
Climbers, walkers, history lovers - almost any group
with an interest in the outdoors will be spoiled for choice. The inland lochs, rivers and hundreds of miles of shoreline provide unlimited scope for sailing
and canoeing.
The West Highland Way and the Great Glen Cycle Route both pass through Fort William. The world championship downhill mountain bike course at Nevis Range is a major international annual event.
The on-site facilities are of the very highest standard. The centrally-heated toilet blocks house spacious cubicles for shower and vanity units, and a bath is also provided. The excellent shop sells fresh bread, rolls and croissants every day
- baked on site. A superb, safe, toddlers' playroom, with large play equipment for children under five is - conveniently for busy mums and dads - adjacent to the laundry facilities.
You may well see steam trains running past the site, on their way from Fort William to Mallaig, but by far the best attraction
is the view of lochs and hills.
Be careful here - you could suffer from aesthetic overload!
