    Stayed here very quiet just walkers, lots of signs to stay over night pay at machine or by Ringo app £12 plenty walks and the town 10 minutes to walk lovely coffee shops, it wasn’t busy lots mountain bikers in the area car parking could do with resurfacing big pot holes but ok for the night a bit of rubbish left by people so we did a litter pick no bins till after the bridge on your left

    I contacted FLS about the no overnight parking sign. They checked on the ground and confirmed that there are two stay the night signs within the car park but they are often hidden behind mountain biker vans and the like. They acknowledge the no overnight parking wording on the entrance sign and will look at fixing it. Looks like an OK place and convenient for the town but very busy.

    Sign now says „no overnight parking“. Fine if £50 to be expected. Otherwise great location

    Good flat parking with beautiful views.

    Currently closed to overnight parking. Emailed Forestry Scotland and the reply was a follows. Sorry about Innerleithen at the moment and we are hoping that this will not be a permanent thing.

    A great spot that is busy with mountainer bikers although is quiet by 5pm. For clarity, payment is made via Ringo App (machine is broken). On arrival you pay £4.40 up until 2359. Then the next morning you must pay another £4.40. Great walks, cycle paths and the town is 1/2 mile walk away.

    One of many Scottish Forestry Commission overnight stay sites, where you can park overnight from 6pm to 10am. Pay through the app and costs £7.40. Perfect place for us to stay as we travel back south into England.

    Young couple. 2 other MHs here but the car park is massive and could accommodate loads. No facilities. Around 930pm 2 cars came in and were here about 5 minutes driving up and down and skidding (boy racers no doubt), but they soon left and we slept peacefully all night.

    Quite quiet when there aren’t lots of mountain bikers. You’re meant to park in the tiny separate parking area at the end, apparently, but by their own rules (which demand a minimum of 4m between vans) there is only room for 4. Pay by phone - 3 days grace to do so. If you arrive before 6pm and are not away fairly early, you have to pay for extra time, so a total of £11 is the more likely cost.

    Stayed overnight. Plenty of space, not busy on a weekday. Level gravel car park. Paid to stay via app - £7.40 overnight and £4.40 for all day. 4G on EE pretty good. Can’t understand why there isn’t even a bin here though…

    Rustige parkeerplaats waar je mag overnachten, maar je moet betalen terwijl er geen enkele faciliteit is. Geen toilet, geen vuilbak, niets. Betalen kan ook enkel via app of per telefoon, de automaat was stuk. Wel rustig en niet ver van een leuke koffiebar in het dorp.

    A note for regular motorhome tourists - this is next to world famous downhill mountain bike trials - although a nice ‘quiet spot’ - this is a car park next to mountain bike trials, expect mountain bikers - enjoying time with their friends especially if the weather is good, riding, maybe some post ride beers (and possibly even music)

  • 5/5

    Excellent quiet spot for the bike trails. Fairly flat and spacious. Five minute walk into town where there’s a couple of pubs and a Coop. £7 for the night via app- which won’t let you pay until after 6pm. Got to leave by 10am (or pay for an extra day ticket) The stay the night scheme also restricts staying to one night in 7.

    Glad to see "Stay the Night" program on again this year. Stayed Thursday 30th April. Payment via the Ringgo app was very easy for the £8 overnight fee. We're not cyclists but the area looked great for those who are and the uplift service looked very useful. Small path by the field to walk the dog. Site unusual based on the few we've visited in that it was very open. No facilities but did get 4G.

    Really good. Bit bumpy from potholes and will be muddy in the rain but nice and flat gravel, plenty of space, toilets in town so no facilities on site. Purchase two day tickets from machine (card and contactless) £8 no hassle.

  • 4/5

    Stayed for 1 night simply for convenience of using the uplift service first thing. Large stony level car park with plenty of spaces. £4 for all day parking or £8 to stay overnight by buying 2 day tickets as suggested on park for the night signs. Was rainy and windy (typical for first night in Scotland) but no road noise
