Loch Ness...with pictures Forums

Stayed at Loch Ness camping and caravan park last week and thought I would give you some information about the site and the people that now own it.

Arrived at the site Tuesday 5pm, we had already booked in advance so there was going to be no problem getting a space.

We met Rob (son of the owner) and he told us to choose a pitch and not to worry about paying, as this could be done in the morning, very easy going and accommodating person to deal with.

I then had the pleasure of spending some time with his father also named Rob, what a friendly and informative man he is, we got talking about motorhomes and his site, it turns out that he is a experienced motorhomer of 20yrs, having had several motorhomes and travelled extensively.

He bought this site only 3 seasons ago, and is in the process of making many alterations to the site.

When I said informative, he was a mind of information about other campsites to use and also wild camping, I did not need to ask, and he just volunteered the information freely.

To sum up this site, the toilet and shower facilities were very good (even my teenage daughter commented how good they are), very clean and most seems as if it was only recently installed, the pitches have plenty of space although I did have some problem with levelling the van (there was a JCB working on flattening out the unused pitches though).

It was a quiet site while we visited and because of the size of the site I don’t think anyone would be disturbed, even in the summer months when it gets busier, they have a bar and also serve food, they have a waste area dedicated to grey and chemical which you reverse into (looks new) plenty of fresh water dotted around the site and beautiful views.

Some pictures of the site.

These two pictures are the view from the motorhome.

The next picture is of the mountain we cycled up (well pushed most of the way) just so you could get a better idea of the site, the things I do for MHF’S.

These are the views.

Thought I would show you these, they are Thursday morning with the mist surrounding us, the pictures don’t really do it justice but I hope you get the picture.

If anyone is travelling to Scotland I can recommend this site.

Hi Raine,

Yes we got the obligatory nessy, only thing is his head is missing, it comes in 4 parts, head, 2 parts of the body and the tail, or supposed to, ours as I say, is headless. Shocked

Thanks Jacqui,

We were charged £19.00 per night, that was for 4 persons, myself, wife, daughter 18 and son 14, I think most places now charge 14yr olds as adults, so 4 adults.
No did not see the monster (well except one morning, when I looked in the mirror) Laughing

Hi peedee,

You won’t be disappointed, there is plenty around you to see and visit, only wish we had more time there, we were moving on to Dornoch, further up the Highlands.

Hi Mat how are things,

Yes the bar was open....would you believe, me the generous guy I am, when service is good I tend to reward it, well I offered Rob the owner a drink the one night, to my amazement he just had a soft drink, was fully expecting whiskey.

Hi Dave hope all is well, read about your travels in the newsletter, sounds like your having a good time.

Rob the owner of the site seems to have a passion, not just for making money, but also for people who visit there, to really enjoy themselves.

MHS...Rob Very Happy
