New Campsite building underway !!!
Cumberland’s Campsite is a new camping site in the beautiful village of Fort Augustus on the southern shores of Loch Ness
This historical Campsite was used by the Duke of Cumberland’s soldiers after the battle of Culloden in 1746 whilst his men were on hot pursuit of the famous Bonnie Prince Charlie. These facts were discovered by the architect assigned to our project whilst investigating marker stones on the boundary of the new site. Further investigations and a metal detector survey of the area turned up several unused musket balls along with some other small artefacts which proved the theory right. (Hopefully these will be returned to us for display purposes)
Based in the central Highlands of Scotland it offers the perfect place to stay for camping whilst exploring the hidden side Glens of Loch Ness and hill walks with outstanding scenery.
As this is our first year open we will be taking mainly tents until we become fully operational with hook ups and hard standing for caravans and campers in 2010.
Also for 2010 we will have a brand new toilet and shower block with laundry and camp kitchen and a play area for the kids. For this year we have hired in brand new temporary showers and toilets which are of a very high standard with plenty of hot water.
