(G83 7AN) Loch Long Car Park and Picnic Area

Very nice spot to park up for the night. Great views. However, the price is incorrect for the overnight stay. (arrived at 2 pm and left at 7 am) and had to pay £25.50. Toilets were also locked, the poster requested a donation, but did not provide the code, so unable to use them, this may be due to the time of year but was a disappointment.

Ok for a night if you have no other options. We had eaten at a restaurant nearby & were tired so decided to stop here (knowing we had to pay) but £19.50 for a carpark! Ok for a one off but we have paid less for campsites all over Scotland these past two weeks and the fact the carpark is empty shows it’s too expensive and the locals are certainly not using it. Wouldn’t use as a planned stop.

We stopped here last night. Lovely view of the Loch! Car park is £1.50 per hour with no cap. We were there less than 12 hours, arriving around 10pm and leaving just after 9.30am - it was £18. It suited us at that time with tired 2 and 6 year olds on board! Petrol station and shop opposite.

Fantastic views! You have to pay but you you can stay up to 24hrs. it’s not much for what an amazing view you get over the whole Loch. No toilet but there’s a pub and hotel 10 minutes up the road. Great off session spot, no smell this time of year from Loch. Bins on site and loads of space to park. You have to be cheeky if you are 6m+ like us as there aren’t pays for larger vehicles. There’s also a petrol station across the road.

Le sol est stable et plat. La vue fort agréable. La route est bruyante en particulier les poids lourds jusqu'à 23h et reprend vers 4h du matin et le parking est le long de la route. L'odeur à marée basse est assez présente et pas fort agréable. Le paiement se fait à l'avance. Cela fait une nuit très chère pour finalement peu de confort.

£1.30 per hour! Stay overnight for campsite prices with no facilities: other than chemical toilets.

Parking is now 1.5£/hr with no cap. We paid 26£ to stay overnight. Probably not worth a stay anymore. Toilets still there and really clean. No water

No overnight allowed!

Overnight stay welcome. Cost of Parking £1 per Hour up to 6 Hours. Over 6 up to 24 Hours is £12 Community Toilet provision and warden service ends Oct 31st

Argyle Council and Parking Eye have now taken control back of the car park. No overnight stops allowed any more.

Great open location with lovely views. Variety of local amenities & toilets a bonus. Well worth £10 for the night.

Pulled up in the evening , guy came over for recommended £10 donation and gave a ticket for the night. Lovely views and small cafe for bacon sandwiches in the morning (if you don’t want to cook).

Great car park, amazing views, excellent.

Didn’t expect too much but this was a gem as we didn’t get a permit for Loch Lomond. Warden kept the car park and portaloos very tidy and the £10 suggested donation seemed fair. Not the most scenic of spots but the view across the bay was great. Agree with previous post that this is a great example of how the camping and local community can work in unison.

This is a perfect example of how local residents and motorhomers can exist together. The car park warden is a lovely man and he and his wife are doing what they can to help. Take your litter away and pay the ten pound overnight fee. It's really cheap and they even provide five portaloos.

Really nice free park up on a sea loch. I slept well, but others might be bothered by the busy road, this is a logging road. Toilets & bins. Warden came around during the evening suggesting a donation (£10). 90% of car park traffic are regular motorists who use facilities for free. He mentioned future instalation of APNR cameras! I would stay again & pay.

Absolutely cracking spot, no restrictions, level, shaded areas fab views, daytime loos and fuel and shop opposite. Couldn’t find water though. Just to say yes it’s free but please make a donation as suggested to support this great initiative!

Stunning views of Loch long that cannot be beaten! used to camp at Arrochar but the site now has lodges only. Good for campervans to park up for the night and wake up to the lovely views. very helpful gentleman works there keeping the place spick & span.

Great spot and probably the cleanest portaloos I’ve ever seen. There was an occasional rotten smell from the head of the Loch but nothing to bother us. Midges we’re rampant

Lovely view, fish and chip shop and another food place (Ben Arthur's Bothy) a couple of minutes walk away, fuel station opposite. Spoke to a nice guy who was cleaning the toilets (they are locked overnight from 7pm to 8am) and he said it's free but the friends of Loch Lomond group appreciate it if you text a number to donate £2 which I thought was more than fair

Quiet at night, busy during the day. Toilets and hand wash on site. Petrol station next door and a café. Strong smell of rotten sea. Standard car park though, not a "free motorhome aire".
