Stunning Location

Spent two mercifully midgie free nights in late August. I know the general area quite well having used the Corran Ferry a few times and toured Oban/ Fort William area quite regularly without ever staying here. What a mug not to! - this is an absolute peach of a site with outstanding views - even bonny in the approaches to the gates with good highland burn running down the right side as you approach. Once sited, the pitches offer great views across the Loch to the mountains beyond - gorgeous changes of light and shade as time passes and weather/light alter accordingly. Facilities are excellent - clean comfortable, fully functioning and although the site was gie near full one night and completely full the other, I never had to wait or queue for anything. Some say the facilities block is dated which I take to mean there are patterned tiles in it . I suppose modern fashions have moved onto different wall and floor coverings but they were in very good nick and it would be a great waste to change then simply to conform to some fleeting notion of modernity. Staff were attentive and welcoming. Can't wait to return

Tranquility Base

This was by far the best club site we have been to. Far from the maddening crowds, but close to the small town of Fort William. Situated a good way from the main road, peace was all around us, even when the kids were running around daft, the sound seemed to be swallowed up. The views were spectacular, regardless of the weather. Others have written of the scenery, and my words cannot do it justice. Close to the waters edge, and surrounded by mountains, inspiration is all around. The grounds were immaculate, the staff friendly and very accommodating. The only black spot was the length of our stay. I could have sat in my rig for days on end, relaxing and enjoying the views. But alas it was not to be. This was certainly a site to return to, and I will return as soon as I can.

A site you don't want to leave

We had a short notice 3 night break in August. We are from West Coast so weren't looking to visit Fort William or Glencoe just a peaceful break. Weather was mixed but we were captivated by views and changing landscape. Had a lovely pitch on corner by river. We visited Ardgour via Corran Ferry and Inchree. No shops but 3 nice pubs. Reception sells milk and rolls. Recommend Inchree waterfall walk.This is type of site you can happily spend all day on without getting bored. Toilet block getting a bit tired looking although very clean and functional. A little gem that we will definitely revisit.

Alainn (Beautiful) Bunree

Just come back from two weeks at this site, a bit of trek for us as we live in Wiltshire, but well worth it. As previously stated, very very busy site, but quiet, noise wise, we had a choice of four pitches when we arrived, the warden pointed out which ones were free which saved us looking for them, we found a nice spacious pitch in the 'cul-de-sac', about three rows back, still had views. which are without a doubt magnificent, anyone visiting this year is in for a treat, I understand this is not normal, a local told us that they usually get two weeks in the Spring and two weeks in the Autumn where they see the sun, so this has been an extraordinary year. We did the touristy things, Ben Nevis..to the top!!, Nevis range cable car...and the short walks at the top, nice restaurant up there too, Ben Nevis distillery...they had run out of the Ben Nevis whisky...had to get some from Fort William. Rode the Jacobite train aka Hogwarts Express to some, visited Glefinnan Monument..Bon Prince Charlie and all that...you can use your English NT card here. When you visit Forte William don't forget look for the Forte, or what remains of it, it is easily missed, its opposite Morrisons, very interesting story to tell. This is a very beautiful area, I must say though I think we will avoid the touristy bits in the future as these are very busy with noisy, demanding, well um tourists.

A room with a view!

Arrived here on 27th June for 6 nights. Later than anticipated as we had a little trouble with one of the caravan legs. (don't ask..... it was all my fault!). Being June & hot & sunny we were not surprised to find the site full so we didn't get the option of choosing a pitch as there was only one left! No 2 just as you enter the site. Well what a view to wake up to each morning, not only wall to wall sunshine but a view over the Loch and surrounding mountains. Bliss! It is a fairly big site & being full you would expect it to be a little noisy but it wasn't. I noted from the comments book that people all liked to moan about the slightly dated toilets! For goodness sake, some people! They were very clean, tidy & perfectly adequate along with the washing up area. A short walk out of the site to the Corran ferry takes you over the Loch (free to foot passengers) where there is a very nice Inn for some welcome liquid refreshment. We treated ourselves one evening to a trip over for an evening meal. Dogs were made welcome in the bar area & in fact he was given a bowl of water & biscuits before we got our drinks! Our meal was excellent fish & chips.....well the size of the fish! it hung over the side of the plate. Then you just look out the door to see if you have time for another beverage before checking if the ferry is on its way back! Fort William is about 8 miles away where there is a Morrisons for petrol etc & just up the road a little way is a new Aldi & M & S foods so you are spoilt for choice. We did the cable car up to the Ben Nevis range which was worth the views. We also had a drive round Glencoe & visited the Ben Nevis distillery which was worth a tipple! It was sad to leave & congratulations should be given to Angus (who was just such a friendly helpful chap) & the other wardens who all do an excellent job. My only one moan was to other members who can't read that the speed limit is 5mph & have to drive around at unacceptable speeds! After all we are all on holiday so what's the rush!

stop over site

This is the 1st time we have used this site, mainly because we were using it as a stop over for a trip to the western isles. the site is located by the loch,with views all around you, the facilities are good and the site was busy ,but you didn't feel that you were in a site that was full ,we went over on the Corran ferry as foot passengers to look at island over the loch and we did a small walk (you can get a walking map from the reception at 20p which covers this walk and some walks near the site). we didn't get attacked by the midges ,due to the after marks of the last storm ,which meant that all the west side of Scotland was suffering from cloud and wind for a week. We were in a motor home ,so we used the public transport to Fort William , to which the bus stop is not far from the site. this is a nice site either as a stop over or a week visit ,as you can visit many place locally

Best site I've been to

Excellent site with amazing loch views. Cleanliness was impeccable as always. All the staff were friendly whenever we saw them. Loch views were lovely with mountains on the other side. Midges are a pain but not a lot you can do unless you wear a net and use spray. Citronella definitely helps keep them at bay. Brilliant base for the area. Glencoe mountain range, the chairlift, Inchree Falls and red squirrel feeding station. Glencoe lochan is a small but stunning loch to visit. Venture down the single track roads, the rivers and falls you find are well worth it. Breakfast in Crofters Bar at Fort William is delicious, the staff were lovely and the price was average. Jacobite train was nice too, but if you want that viaduct shot, you need to visit Glenfinnan and walk up there you will definitely need to book in advance for this. You could spend months there and still not see it all. But everything around there is amazing.

Lovely peaceful but busy site. We managed a full week this time and arrived shortly after noon so there was a good selection of pitches, arriving later and selection is much reduced. The only down side is the midges, they are in biblical swarm proportions this year. Make sure you have plenty of midge cream/spray etc.

Beautiful location with a few " Buts "

Bunree is in a beautiful location with so many wonderful places to visit in the surrounding area but if you can't book well in advance and sometimes it is not possible, sadly it is becoming difficult to get more than an odd night. I find so it becomes nothing more than a stopping off enroute rather a base location from which to explore and enjoy the surrounding area. For such a busy, well used site I think it is in need of new facilities, the showers are in need of a refurbishment and could benefit from a layout rethink to give more room with a bench seat . The dishwashing area could benefit from an update and I would prefer not to have to walk past everyone using it to get to the ladies facilities. And Yes , perhaps a few more service points as they're all close to the centre and it can be a long walk in the pouring rain! As another review mentioned, THE MIDGES are rarely far from this site , so be prepared.! Despite the need in my opinion for a refurbishment the site is well kept and very clean thanks to the Wardens, It can't be easy running a busy site and coping with the Midges too! So 5 stars to them. Perhaps the club could consider obtaining another site nearby as this one is so busy . ??
