Visit Salen in Ardnamurchan

Salen is a tiny community set around the shore of Loch Sunart

Salen is a tiny community set around a quiet bay by Loch Sunart, a large tidal sea-loch, on the Ardnamurchan peninsula. A picturesque spot on the road out to Ardnamurchan Point. The Salen Hotel is a good place to stop for coffee, a meal or an overnight stay. The area is very peaceful and completely rural with grazing croftland and an interesting coastline. Sometimes a sheep might wander over to an island in the bay at low water, not knowing much about tides....

You can visit Salen on a day trip around part of the peninsula visiting Ardgour, Stronian, Salen, Kilchoan and Glenuig. The road is incredible scenic and a delight for a drive through one of the most remote places in the UK. If you are "touring" please pull over regularly to allow local traffic to get past you on all those single-track, narrow and windy roads.

Glen Nevis Caravan & Camping Park
Our award-winning, family friendly caravan and camping park is set in the midst of spectacular Highland scenery at the foot of mighty Ben Nevis. Ideal for cyclists and walkers, Glen Nevis offers captivating paths and tracks that wind up through forests and alongside the River Nevis. This is also the perfect base to access the Nevis Range and mountain Gondola, the Harry Potter Jacobite steam train, the Silver Sands of Morar and Arisag; or just as easily, why not relax on our park and enjoy the fresh mountain air whilst watching others scale the mountain.   We manage a peaceful park with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere and pride ourselves in the quality of our infrastructure, facilities and landscaping. Our generous tent and caravan pitches easily leave you plenty of space to find the perfect pitch before heading off to our restaurant and bar to plan the next day's activities over a mouth watering menu of delicious local food and drink. If you prefer to self cater in something more luxurious, book one of our camping pods instead or why not choose from one of our self catering holiday lodges, cottages or top branded static caravans.   Staying with us you get much more than our campsite. We also have our own Highland Estate extending to over 1,000 acres which is home to iconic Scottish wildlife such as red squirrels, pine martens and also the stags a'bellowing in the annual Autumn rut.  We also welcome keen fishermen to book a day's fishing on the River Nevis which threads a scenic course amidst the landscape.  Glen Nevis has lots of interesting walks where you trek through time, both historical from the iron age, vast geological time, and also through locations where certain famous movies have been filmed.... Glen Nevis is a beautiful natural habitat that we are excited for you to discover and share with us soon!      Visit our website (glen-nevis.co.uk) to find out more about our campsite including our SEASONAL OFFERS, and to book your pitch!
