6 places · 4 with rooms, 3 camping, 1 with meals on the Drumnadrochit → Inverness section of the Great Glen Way, in Abriachan, Inverness. Phone and WhatsApp numbers are listed so you can book ahead.
Simple campsite and café at Wester Laide, right on the trail above Abriachan, about 12 km from Drumnadrochit. It has no website and its 2026 opening could not be confirmed, so do not rely on it.
Heated camping pods for four or six people and small-tent pitches in woodland above Loch Ness near Abriachan village, about 1.5 km off the trail and 12 km from Drumnadrochit; handy for splitting the long last stage. No open fires; book online.
Small independent hostel on Culduthel Road, about 100 m from Inverness Castle and the end of the trail, with mixed pod dorms, female dorms, twins, doubles and an apartment, plus a kitchen and garden.
Campsite by Bught Park and the River Ness, about 2.5 km before the end of the trail, with 80 backpacker tent pitches, showers, laundry and a small shop. Open Easter to mid-September.
Backpackers' hostel on Culduthel Road, about 100 m from Inverness Castle and the end of the trail. Its website looked poorly maintained when checked, so confirm by phone.
Hostelling Scotland hostel on Victoria Drive, about 1.5 km from Inverness Castle, open all year, with dorms, private, en-suite and family rooms and a large self-catering kitchen. Book online.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear on a public listing (OpenStreetMap, Scottish Canals or walkers' trip reports) but could not be confirmed on their own website. Places on the Great Glen Way fill up from May to September, and Loch Ness is busy with other visitors too; book ahead and tell your host if you will arrive late. Baggage-transfer companies carry bags between overnight stops; book them in advance. The Citylink 919 bus along the A82 links most stage ends, but not Gairlochy.
The Great Glen Way route works offline in Outest, with these places on the map and a trail guide you can ask about water, weather and the next village.
