Welcome to Bunree Caravan Club Site Get to know Bunree On this Caravan Club Golden Jubilee Site, your caravan can be parked almost at the water’s edge of Loch Linnhe with its beauty and the splendour of the mountains across the water. This award-winning site must be one of The Club’s loveliest in scenic terms: it is, quite literally, breathtaking. You’ll spend a day or two acclimatising to all this natural beauty before you even want to explore further afield. Visit Glencoe - you’ll find it eerie and exciting and everyone should know the story behind the Massacre, still legendary after three centuries. On another day take a cable car to the upper terminal (2,300ft) of the Aonach Mor Mountain, for fabulous views of the mountains, the Great Glen and the islands of Skye and Rhum. If you wish to try to climb Ben Nevis (4,406ft) please allow approximately 7 hours to reach the summit and descend. For a really scenic drive, visit Ardnamurchan and Moidart and carry on to the White Sands of Morar near Mallaig.
