With a variety of quality Scottish food and drink, and with Ben Nevis on its doorstep, it’s safe to say you won’t be short on fun things to do and try when visiting Fort William by campervan.

The great outdoors 

Outdoor activities are what Fort William does best. Walks, mountain biking and sightseeing are great ways to see the surrounding areas if you're eager to see the sights on your campervan stop-off in Fort William. 

For something with a little more action, you can try your hand at mountaineering, which lets you scale the mountains with trained instructors. Alternatively, choose to relax while you canoe along the area's beautiful rivers.  

We couldn't mention a Scottish holiday and not talk about golf; Fort William is close to the Traigh course, named by many as the most scenic golf course in the UK, giving tourists and golf enthusiasts another reason to stop here on their motorhome holiday.  

A breathtakingly beautiful way to see the sights is to take a small break from the road and walk The Great Glen Way, which connects Fort William and Inverness. Along the way, you can visit some fantastic spots including Loch Lochy and the forests on the bank of Loch Ness. 

Annual events and festivals  

If you're visiting the Fort William area at certain times of the year, we highly recommend you take part in some of the fantastic events being held.  

For example, each year the Ben Nevis race is held, so you can join in or sit by the side of the mountain and watch the runners pass by.  

Alternatively, every February there is the Fort William Mountain Festival where you can celebrate the culture of the Scottish Highlands. Another event packed with things to see and do is the Glenfinnan Highlands Gathering held every August which has athletics, piping, food stalls and traditional highland dancing to keep you busy.
