Mountain View Campsite and Retreat

喜欢: Views are amazing. Great options available, hotel, campsite, bell tents and spaces for camper vans. Andrew the host was really friendly and was always available if you have any questions. Plenty of free wood available for the camp fires but take take something to get the fire started.

不喜欢: Need to update the postcode in the pitch up website to G63 9AW. We ended up 2 other places before we found the correct post code.

喜欢: The campsite is pretty. Owner really friendly. Dog friendly. Breakfast possible and also lunch.

不喜欢: Toilets/Shower were a little bit dirty.
Dogs of owner were unleashed and the younger ones really intrusive. Difficult if you have a reactive dog.

Please be aware! The address isn’t correct. You have to drive to “the West Highland Way Campside”.

喜欢: Beautiful surroundings, lovely walks, good facilities, host was very helpful. The glamming tents were comfortable with clean bedding and towels provided.

不喜欢: Continental breakfast was included and drinks (tea, coffee, hot choc and juice) were provided 24/7 which was great.
The foods menu was very expensive , which was a shame as we would have eaten on site if it was more reasonable.

来自经理: Hi Aaron. We apologise about the fridge. We will change that on the site. As you know we are a new campsite and we had an issue with flooding earlier this month. Continental breakfast is included for free. Cooked breakfast is £10. Thank you again for everything. Danuta and Jacek

喜欢: View

不喜欢: Costs. Not worth the money charged owner was meant to give me 6.00 change after paying him in cash. We booked a hardstanding with grass. We were put into a car park for the night. It cost £40 per night but cost us £46. We weren't told where to get water. Or where to dispose of our chemical waste/grey waste. This site is not ready for guests. The cost of meals on offer were over priced as well £30 for a dinner £15 for dessert restaurant prices. The smell of dogs in the dining room alone put us off.

来自经理: Hi

Yes we are a new site. The £6 was for the Pitchup Commission and not charged by us. All you had to do was to ask a member of staff where the water and waste disposal units were and we would have happily showed you. Meals are always optional and not compulsory. As a consumer you always have a choice. Yes we are pet friendly here and guests do bring dogs. Thank you. We wish you well. Aleta

喜欢: I travel a lot around Scotland, so I’m always on the lookout for favourite spots - and this is definitely one of them!

The owner and staff were really friendly, and the site itself is relaxed with plenty of shared spaces, so had a real ‘community feel’. If you want peace, you’ll have it, but if you want a little social interaction, it’s there.

Breakfast was fantastic and a real communal affair, sat around a huge table in the main house (John Muir’s original home) and chatting with other visitors. My morning cuppa became an engrossing 2-hour chat about life, the universe and camping spots :D

There was plenty of space for my camper, with EHU and and rolling farmland views; private shower/toilet (basic, and shower door was a little temperamental, but included in the price); washing machine and tumble drier, lots of picnic benches, free Wi-Fi, BBQ, campfires and dogs allowed.

Things I really liked:

- Ample woodland walks (you’re in the middle of the countryside)
- Takeaway window at the house with good food on offer, and a restaurant. Cafe, too, but was being refurbished during my stay (May 2023)
- A 24/7 supply of free tea and coffee, and a breakfast of toast, cereal, fruit, breakfast bars, waffles and jams, served ‘hotel style’ in a cosy dining room
- Cosy TV room with a real fire (probs in the winter) and books to read
- Covered area with comfy rattan couches outside
- Price - £20pp. With breakfast, Wi-Fi and showers included, I think it’s good value for couples, but amazing for me as a solo-traveller.

If you’ve ever been to the US/Canada, you’ll have come across ‘Trail Angels’ - people who show kindness and generosity to people passing through. That’s the kind of feel this place has. Definitely worth a visit.

不喜欢: Really nothing I can think of, other than that the shower/toilet could do with a little TLC. However, they were doing a lot of improvements during my stay, so maybe that’s on the list.

喜欢: A fantastic and helpful welcome greeted me and showed me to a great level viewpoint pitch with power. Convenient full facilities and the offer of dinner and breakfast was commendable.
