Dog Heaven ??

Had planned on visiting here for a while because of the write up in the guide , and used it to break my journey back down the country from the far North , my conclusion is that it is really only useful for a stopover even if the following points were resolved . The views are pretty good , yes , but the Loch is mostly inaccessible , and any of the local walks require leaving the site , and crossing a busy road . When I see the sign "Dog walk" I read "Dog Toilet" , which would be bad enough but even though the rules state to only walk dogs on designated area it is ignored by most , and on both my mornings there I was treated to watching 5 or 6 dogs fouling the grass in front of the Loch while their owners stood and let them ---while I was having breakfast ---YUK !! Some people brought up to 4 dogs with them , so this place is pretty much infested with them --what is going on here , it's more like Crufts than a holiday park for people .The staff here are more or less unapproachable too , and to top it all I witnessed someone parking their car on an available pitch to reserve it for someone else who arrived much later ---this needs nipping in the bud before it becomes like the "Towels on sun-beds" arrangement we know so well , if not by the staff here who seem to turn a blind eye to infringements of the rules then by the club itself . Oh yes , and there was wind and rain --and midgies ! Very disappointed and glad to leave for home , and before the furore about my comments starts , remember a review is to say what you see --this is what I saw .

Wonderful Location

This site is in the most beautiful location and in a great position to visit the Highlands and Western Scotland. We stayed for a week and for half of that time it was wet, cold and windy while the rest of the UK basked in a heatwave, so I would suggest that you check the long range weather forecast before you book. In the week we were there we had two good days, one of which we used to visit Ben Nevis which was amazing. The site is kept to a very high standard and the toilet block is kept immaculate. The wardens are really helpful and friendly - this has to be one of the best sites we have visited.

WOW!

We haven't been to this site for a few years and had forgotten how spectacular the views are. We had a loch-side pitch and just spent hours transfixed by the beautiful scenery. It must be THE most picturesque site on the network for its majestic mountain views. The facilities are up to usual Caravan Club high standards and the whole site is kept perfectly spick and span by the lovely wardens. The only gripe we have is that there is a designated dog walk on site which is a large area right by the lochside and as directed in the site leaflet, owners must not walk their dogs in any other part of the site. But yes, you've guessed it - selfish dog owners think that rule does not apply to them and insist on using the grass in front of the outfits pitched facing the loch, to exercise and allow their little darlings to use it as a toilet. We all love dogs, but don't want to watch an animal defecating in front of our caravan windows!! This problem has to be controlled and perhaps a sign directing these people elsewhere would help? Otherwise, a fabulous location and one that stays with you for a long time.

Reviews live up to expectations

All the reviews said it is the perfect location and we were not disappointed, spent 3 nights in mid May for a trip on Jacobite rail journey to Mallaig (a must do) booked again mid August for 3 nights. My only gripe if WiFi was a waste of time and money

On Tour Of Scotland

Stayed at this site to visit Fort William, The site met our expectations with great views. we found the wardens very friendly and the site well maintained. We would recommend this site for touring the west of Scotland, Isle of Mull and the Grampians. But we found Fort William a dump not as we remembered it being like this in the 70s when we camped there.

Lovely location - just need to sort some details

Superb location. Shame that the grass remains uncut and the Wifi either does not work at all, or if it does, it is so slow as to be nearly useless. Certainly not gold standard.

Fantastic views and they have a drying room!

I'd heard great things about this site. The location is stunning. My pitch was right on the edge of the sea. The facilities are good and the drying room is essential in such a location! All sites should have one. No need for wasteful tumble driers! However, I'm a dog walker. I walk around 8 miles a day at home. I look for sites which advertise dogs/walks etc. The " dog walk" was very poor. The "beach" was made up of huge pebbles and rocks but I used that rather than the somewhat dubious provision for dogs. I chose to go to Bunree as it claims it's good for dogs and walkers. It isn't in my opinion. Apart from the forrest walks across the very busy main road there is little else straight from the site. I did all 5 published walks in 2 days. You have to be prepared to drive by car or move your motorhome which I didn't really want to do given the distance I had driven to get there. Mine are specific requirements so may not affect the majority of campers without dogs. However it may be time to review the criteria for an adequate "dog walk" given the ever increasing number of people turning to caravaning and motorhoming who have dogs.
