The towering mountains that surround us seem to reach up and touch the sky, while the tranquil waters below reflect their every detail. It’s a scene straight out of a fairytale, and I pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming.

The Best Spots to Pitch Your Tent
Now, I know what you’re thinking – with a view this breathtaking, how do you even begin to choose the perfect spot to set up your tent? Fear not, my friends, for I’ve scoured the grounds and handpicked the crème de la crème of camping spots just for you.
First up, we have the Loch View Pitches. As the name suggests, these prime locations offer unobstructed views of the loch, allowing you to soak up the serene beauty of your surroundings from the comfort of your own campsite. Imagine waking up to the sound of gently lapping waves and the distant calls of birds – it’s enough to make even the most hardened city-dweller swoon.
But if you’re looking for a bit more privacy and seclusion, why not try the Woodland Pitches? Nestled amongst the towering pines and fragrant foliage, these cozy spots offer a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Here, you’ll be lulled to sleep by the rustling of leaves and the gentle hum of wildlife, with the added bonus of being just a short stroll from the loch’s edge.
And for those of you who crave a little bit of adventure, the Loch Shore Pitches are the way to go. These prime waterfront locations put you right in the heart of the action, with unparalleled access to the loch’s shores and the opportunity to explore the surrounding trails and hidden gems. Just imagine dipping your toes in the cool, clear waters after a long day of hiking – pure bliss, am I right?
Amenities Fit for a King (or Queen)

From modern shower facilities to a well-stocked on-site shop, the team here has really thought of everything to ensure your stay is as comfortable and convenient as possible.
And let’s talk about the communal fire pits, shall we? These cozy little gathering spots are the perfect place to swap stories with fellow campers, toast marshmallows, and soak up the serene ambiance of the Highlands. Trust me, there’s nothing quite like gathering around a crackling fire under the stars, with the sound of Loch Ness lapping at the shore in the distance.
But perhaps my favorite amenity of all is the Loch Ness Trails that wind their way through the campsite and beyond. Whether you’re in the mood for a leisurely stroll or a more challenging hike, these well-marked paths offer endless opportunities to explore the stunning natural beauty that surrounds you. And who knows – you might even catch a glimpse of the elusive Loch Ness Monster along the way!
A Feast Fit for the Highlands
Now, no trip to the Scottish Highlands would be complete without indulging in some of the region’s famous cuisine, and Loch Ness Shores does not disappoint. From the on-site cafe serving up hearty, locally-sourced fare to the nearby villages and towns brimming with charming pubs and restaurants, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to satisfying your culinary cravings.
One of my personal favorites is the traditional Scottish breakfast, complete with sizzling sausages, crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, and of course, the ubiquitous haggis. Trust me, there’s nothing quite like starting your day with a plate of this savory, filling goodness, especially after a night of camping under the stars.
And for those of you with a sweet tooth, you’ll be delighted to know that the Highlands are also home to some of the most delectable baked goods you’ll ever taste. From the buttery shortbread to the rich, crumbly scones, every bite is a testament to the skill and passion of the local bakers. And don’t even get me started on the incredible selection of jams and preserves – they’re the perfect accompaniment to your morning toast or a mid-hike snack.
Exploring the Wonders of Loch Ness
Of course, no visit to Loch Ness Shores would be complete without venturing out and exploring the wider Loch Ness region. And let me tell you, there’s plenty to discover – from the historic castles that dot the landscape to the charming villages and towns that are brimming with local culture and character.
One of my favorite spots to visit is the village of Foyers, which is just a short drive from the campsite. Here, you’ll find the stunning Foyers Falls, a cascading waterfall that tumbles down a dramatic cliff face. It’s the perfect spot for a scenic picnic or a refreshing dip in the cool, clear waters. And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can even hike up to the top of the falls for a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding countryside.
Another must-see destination is the Loch Ness Exhibition Center, where you can learn all about the rich history and mythology of this legendary body of water. From the stories of the Loch Ness Monster to the fascinating geology of the region, this interactive museum is a true treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration.
And of course, no trip to Loch Ness would be complete without taking a boat tour out onto the loch itself. Whether you opt for a leisurely cruise or a more adventurous expedition, you’ll have the opportunity to soak up the stunning scenery and maybe, just maybe, catch a glimpse of the elusive Nessie.
