Simply stunning

Probably the nicest site we've stayed on so far in our travels! Fabulous sunset views and plenty of boats and bird life on the water to keep me happy for hours. Great location for many attractions in the area and biggest bonus, just a couple of hours from home near Inverness so will be re-visiting 'out of season' for the odd week or two in the future. Gave it 5 stars for all ratings, but cannot really comment on the 'good for families' one really as it was just us 2 semi-retired people! However, it had a play area, water, beach and rocks to climb on so we would definitely take our grandchildren there. Most amusing part was every morning watching people frantically putting items on vacant pitches loch side as they were vacated before relocating their caravans or motorhomes! Personally, we preferred being one row back as still had fabulous views, but no people walking too closely past our windows with or without a dog.

Fabulous highland site

We stayed here for 12 nights in April. With the exception of just three pitches (which sadly overlook the toilet block) every single other pitch has a fabulous view of Loch Linnhe. It really was fantastic to open the blinds to such views every morning. We were so lucky with the weather, cold but sunny mostly and very little rain or wind. I imagine in poor weather it’s probably not a great site to be on, so it would be worth checking the forecast before you come. The site is well maintained, with friendly and helpful wardens, and clean facilities. There is a games room and play area, and a laundry room. Over the road from the site are some lovely forest walks and it’s a great base for exploring the highlands including fort William and Ben Nevis which we climbed whilst there. The only thing lacking for us is a local village or shop to walk to, there is a local restaurant but we didn’t like the look of it. Would definitely return to this beautiful part of the world.

First outing of 2019

Just home from 6 nights on this great site. Initially we couldn't decide where we wanted to go. Looked at site at Connel but the reviews were pretty damning so came to Bunree. Right decision. fabulous views, friendly wardens, spotless warm toilet block, and excellent wi-fi. Weather was a bit cold overnight but the during the day, lovely. we considered staying a further night but sadly we had things to attend to at home. We were pleased to find the site wasn't particularly busy considering the school holidays, but that was only to our benefit. Highly recommended.

Sensational location

Arrived at Bunree for our first visit and WOW!!! Incredible views. Easy check in, perfect facilities and perfect for families. We got lucky with the weather, im sure at times it could be harsh there, especially if windy but its a 10/10 from us! We will certainly be returning in the future!

Be prepared - if out of season!

We stayed for 4 nights in late March 2019 - the site is in a great location but can be exposed when the wind blows up Loch Linnhe! Usual CC site facilities as you would expect - some dog owners did not seem interested in using the dog walk and instead walked in front of loch side pitches - we do not like to eat and watch dogs doing their business - wardens please remind dog owners about their responsibilities! Fort William has seen better days - the main street (mainly pedestrianised) is a bit run down, so depressing and with a lot of empty shops and others in need of improvement. We ate at the Ben Nevis Pub which had been spruced up and offers good value bar meals and a log fire! There is also a Wetherspoons here. There is a Morrisons supermarket, MacDonalds and heading north out of town is a M&S Food Hall & Aldi so plenty stores to stock up - you may need it - we found a number of eating establishments were not opening until Easter!

Absolutely Beautiful

Arrived here on a beautifully sunny day an because it was the last week of the season we were lucky enough to get s lochside pitch. To be honest all the pitches will have some sort of loch view as it’s a tiered site. The views across Loch Linnhe are simply stunning and I could sit for hours watching the ever changing sky. We had decent weather until our second last day when a Storm Oscar arrived. We were buffeted during the night but in the morning asked the wardens who couldn’t have been friendlier and helpful if we could move and they recommended where would be more sheltered. We were virtually right at the back of the site but still had a gorgeous view. We enjoyed the ferry A’s foot passengers. Walking to Inchree Waterfalls and the Four Seasons Hotel. Lots of touring around here. Beautiful part of the country. We went to Glen Nevis for a mooch around. Just about to make our booking for next year. Totally loved it. Thank you to all the wardens. We hope you enjoyed your visit to Newcastle.

Lovely location but winds rocked caravan nightly

Stayed in October. Was please to get a loch side pitch though on the first night realised perhaps not so lucky after all. Th location and scenery are spectacular but I would not return. Spent 3 nights here, left early and lost money as I simply couldn’t sleep a wink, even my young kids who would normally sleep through anything were waking in the night. The caravan shook all night long and I couldn’t even hear my tv the winds were so loud. Can’t fault the staff or site but it wasn’t for me. However I imagine in summer and good weather it’s glorious.

Another good visit

Bunree continues to surprise, weather was windy and very wet, but this meant the waterfalls on the opposite side of the loch were brilliant. The site is very well maintained by hard working and very helpful staff. We were most impressed by the way the Wardens dealt with those people who don't understand the rules. Whether it was dogs off lead in the wrong area or people speeding, a polite but firm warning was given, all that is needed to maintain a well run site. This is one of the top sites on the network, ideal for touring or for staying longer as we do every year. Needless to say, we will be back.

Fabulous site

We stayed here in October 2018. This is a fabulous site but when we were there, the weather was very harsh with Storm Lesley lashing us with wind and rain for all the time we were there. With the sea lock, this site has on occasion the ability to consum awnings given the right conditions to do so. Facilites are great, including drying room which is handy. Fort William is a short drive and has all the necessary supplies and eateries. We travelled as foot passengers for free on the nearby ferry to Ardgour to eat at the Inn which is just a few meters from the ferry. Not cheap but the food is good. On our final day, the wind, rain and clouds disappeared to reveal the true beauty of this place.

Superb

What a beautiful and well kept site run by excellent staff. The site location is cracking with splendid views, the pitches are a good size and facilities are very good and clean. The staff are very helpful and pleasant and always took time to talk to you, there was a chemical toilet point at every area where the bins and water are which is very handy. Oban, Mallaig and lochness are within easy reach and we even went to mull for the day via the Corran and Lochaline ferries, most enjoyable. We will be back again.
