What visitors say
Very clean, well-organized campsite that has everything you can expect and what you'll need. The service was perfect - one of our tent poles broke and one staff member kindly went to the workshop with us to find a solution. The fix saved our tent! Even though the location was very nice, located within walking distance of Loch Ness, there's a busy street directly next to the camping. All in all very recommendable.

We stayed here for one night and it was a really nice campsite. Even being a busy campsite, it felt clean and peaceful. The lady in the office went out of her way to help us when we had a small incident with our dog and we really appreciated that! Would definitley reccomend staying here you are within walking distance to Lochness and the views around are beautiful!

This was our favourite stop of our Scottish tour. The facilities were clean and constantly being kept on top of. The staff we met were so friendly and accommodating. The setting itself is absolutely perfect for those wanting to explore the origin of Loch Ness. We stayed for three nights and enjoyed the short (25 minutes with two young children) walk into the village, a 30 minute walk down to a beautiful part of the Loch through the woods where we paddled and played. A beautiful scenic walk up to the castle. The campsite was quiet despite being busy but didn't feel crowded or overlooked. We would one hundred percent stay here again if we come back. Thank you for a lovely stay!
