The view from Hotel Alba carries the scent of pine and open water, with Ben Nevis standing watch to the east — the kind of morning light that reminds you why people come to Fort William.

This one's a flexible base for walkers tackling the Ben, couples exploring the Great Glen, or anyone chasing the West Highland Way without full canvas commitment. The camping pods suit those who want a bed and a roof after a long day on the hill, while the guest house rooms offer a proper indoor retreat. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing one along. Fort William's outdoor capital credentials mean you're well placed for trails, peaks, and the drive down to Glencoe.

Facilities aren't detailed, so it's best to check what's onsite when you book — campfires may be allowed depending on conditions, so ask on arrival. The year-round opening makes this a solid winter option when many sites close up. Expect a straightforward, no-fuss stopover rather than a farm-style campsite — more about location and shelter than bells and whistles.
