Place plane en retrait de la route en montant en direction de la pointe de dunnet head. Superbe vue sur le loch, la lande et la mer, tout en étant en retrait et à l'abri des vents dominants. Observation privilégiée, en montant à la pointe des espèces rares d'oiseaux Arctique : Flumar, macareux... quelques autres places de bivouac en montant.
Flat place behind the road uphill towards the tip of dunnet head. midges crazy in august. Superb views of the loch, the moor and the sea, while being set back and away from the prevailing winds. Privileged observation, climbing to the tip of the rare species of Arctic birds: Flumar, puffin ... some other bivouac places up.
Flacher Raum, der von der Straße bergauf in Richtung Dunnet Head zurückversetzt ist. Hervorragende Aussicht auf den See, das Moor und das Meer, während Sie zurückgesetzt und vor den vorherrschenden Winden geschützt sind. Privilegierte Beobachtung bis zur Spitze seltener arktischer Vogelarten: Flumar, Papageientaucher ... ein paar andere Biwakplätze auf dem Weg nach oben.

Intended to stay at another spot down the road but thought this one looked a little more sheltered, so we stayed but hadn’t checked the reviews. Couple of kids drove by around midnight and threw eggs at the van. Was half asleep so we stayed the night but I wouldn’t advise it to others. Clearly not welcome here. It’s a shame such a hostile environment has been built between the locals and visitors.
We parked up here, it's quite slopy but not too bad, the view is beautiful, if yoh go up the dirt track then you can see lots of ruins Then we were egged by locals :( we didn't feel safe, especially with the weird vibes we got off them in the towns and the comments we've seen on parkups around the area. So we moved to the carpark at the tip, there are a few other campers here so felt much safer
I work on the moors & use this Car Park. I swept up the shattered glass b4 it got in my dog’s feet. Half of campers leave no trace, the other half not. Any trace is bad, even orange peel. When foliage dies back more trash is revealed & local dogs regularly find human waste nearby. Folk often park in entrance blocking all 4 spaces, expecting their own CarPark at most northerly point of mainland UK
someone has put a load of broken glass and rotting potatoes in this space. We managed to park at an angle but an angry local blocked us in with his van while he went for a walk. There were loads of other parking spaces available for him. Obviously campers are not welcome here! We certainly did not feel safe, as when he eventually left he threatened to come back.
Local van owner disgusted with the state visitors are leaving this carpark in. this and nearby spots absolutely reek of toilet waste. every few metres along paths there is chemical waste and shit. please dispose of all toilet waste at proper disposal facilities. a previously pristine environment, saturated with multiple campers every night. Digging a hole will only find more waste.
amazing views! flat hardstanding but not level. dead quiet overnight, a bit of traffic up to Dunnet Head in the morning
Toller Platz, der Wind hat zugenommen, trotzdem geschützt. Für 2 ausreichend Platz. Man kann hier ruhig ohne viel Lärm schlafen.
Schöner Platz, leider haben wir Müll gefunden.
Wonderful, no wind, really quiet, but unfortunately was a nightmare for us with midges yesterday.
Schöner Stellplatz mit toller Aussicht. Etwas abschüssig, mit Keilen o.ä jedoch kein Problem. Wir hatten hier eine sehr ruhige Nacht verbracht.
Excellent spot. We stayed here for the night and were undisturbed from the wind. Walked to the lighthouse and saw some of the birds. Puffin, oystercatcher, shag. Was lovely and tidy when we found it so keep it that way!
bien abrité du vent, sur une petite place en macadam. belle vue sur la lande et le loch... dans la brume. parfait pour la nuit.
Wow what a park up, hard standing elevated position but nicely sheltered from the a wind and so so quiet; quite a few nice park ups on this road, thank you to all previous comments for the recommendations.
Le plus agréable du secteur, plat , sol ferme, assez spacieux pour manœuvrer en tout sécurité pour un gris CC., dans un beau cadre. Gratuit et pas d'interdiction.
Nice park up. It was very windy when we stayed and it did wake us up, but it was blowing a mad one, ridiculous wind but that’s what you get then you go to Scotland in Feb!!! Beautiful views and relatively flat! No mosquitoes as early in the season and they would probably freeze. Would stay again!
nice and flat and tarmacked and very quiet
Quiet night, not a lot of wind cover, but then again cover is very hard to find. Large flat area though
Lovely spot, no midges at this time of year (Oct) loads of room for two. Ranger turned up to clear up other people’s mess, nice guy. Very quiet and out of the wind.
Tucked away and hard standing, but on a slant. As others have said there is evidence that people have stayed here before and lots of midges.
OK and pretty nice spot, however, people need to learn how to clean up after themselves. there is a sh*t of the side and lots of toilet paper in bushes around. if you are going to do your business, take the toilet paper away with you, dig your hole and bury it. very slight incline, concrete, slightly sheltered with ferns, lovely view. no sunset, lovely sunrise.
nice spot, flat, bit sheltered, good view, little over 1 mile walk to lighthouse
Super spot, avec jolie vue. Route très peu passante. Lieu plat.
Great spot, thank you, nice and quiet and out of the wind
Perfect, thank you for sharing this space. I’ve arrived in the dark and excited to go for a walk with my dogs in the daylight.
Étonnamment à l'abri du vent, in peu en pente mais nuit très calme et belle vue au réveil !
lovely peaceful night here, shared the space with one other camper but could be space for one more! relatively flat and sheltered from the wind. good signal 4G on O2 but not great on 3 and EE. annoyingly some people leave their litter behind in the shrubs but otherwise a great spot with nice views
Stayed here one night, was very quiet. Flat, good phone signal, and relatively sheltered. Sadly a lot of rubbish in the surrounding shrub!!!!
Great spot but sadly people have been dumping their chemical toilet waste. Such a shame! Please dispose of your shit responsibly, literally!
29/9/21 You could have fitted two motorhomes/vans in this layby but one very selfish vanlifer took up the whole spot by parking across it instead of facing in/out so no-one else could park there. It's people like this that give the vanlife community a bad reputation. Selfish people like that rarely think of others, no wonder locals hate those that travel in vans/motorhomes.
Arrived after going to the lighthouse and space for 2 large vans. Windy but a little sheltered compared to some others I've seen. Hard standing so no worry about getting stuck. Peaceful night and lovely sunrise in the morning.
Arrived one van here, by morning there were three of us. Exceptionally windy overnight (check wind speed/direction as it is exposed somewhat on one side. No issues overnight. Would have walked to the lighthouse in the morning but it was so so windy! We would have moved overnight but sheltered spots generally in this area thin on ground. Stayed 22.09.21 after returning from Orkney islands. 3G internet on 3 okay. No bins/toilets.
Good spot only one that really is hard standing. can easily fit two large motohomes. ours is 8.4m long and still space for another. Good views over the many lochs. get there mid day otherwise will be gone and then left with top of hill outside lighthouse car park or for smaller vans plenty of little spaces. 20 minute walk from here to Dunnet head lighthouse
Secluded spot only a few minutes drive from Dunnet Head. Looked like the dumped toilet mentioned below was in a corner and we just avoided that area. Lovely place to spend the night in the wild.
Good little stop over, space for two vans. Full of midges and someone has dumped their toilet waste(and also tried to burn it) so we didn’t get out of the van. However, the views are still amazing and it’s so peaceful overnight.
Shame it's been used to dump the contents of chemical toilets dirty pigs
Lovely spot for a Motorhome. Even better is that it is hard standing. The views are stunning and less than a mile from the most northerly point in the UK. Probably enough space for 2 units.
We stayed here last night it was very quite and didn’t get disturbed also great views
Gorgeous view of lochs, came at the end of May and was really quiet. Very convenient if you want to catch the sunset up at Dunnett Head and catch the moon rise!
Easy access, fairly level and other stops close if occupied
Great spot, stayed here for a few days due to the concrete park up area, it being sheltered and away from the road. Went for some lovely walks to explore the area and maybe due to local down or Covid, hardly any traffic by day or night.
Well worth finding this little pull in. Out of the wind, ideally use levelling blocks but very quiet while we were there. One other van joined us on this spot, wouldn’t advise more than 2 during COVID but could fit 3 otherwise at a push. Great for Dunnet’s head and the nearby distillery for amazing gin.
Great little site. 3 vans at a push. Tarmac with a very slight slope but we managed without any chocks. We found it very sheltered as its very windy at the moment. 1 lot of boy racers went past about 9.30, obviously heading to the lighthouse carpark but otherwise very quiet site until about 8am. Fab view of the lochs and moors.
Good spot. space for two comfortably, three at a squeeze. Nice walk up a track just a few metres up the road. Slghtly sloping but I managed without chocks. mental note to get some though! Set back from the road and its a quiet road at night. leave no trace so we can keep spaces like this going.
Guter Platz zum übernachten, fester Untergrund auch für größere Wohnmobilen geeignet. Nachts sehr ruhig.
Quiet Place by the road, solid underground (no mud), nice view
Endroit pratique. Route peu fréquentée. Évitez de faire comme plusieurs : ramassez vos crottes et votre papier ou enterrez-les !
Dia de.mucho viento. aquí estabamos un poco resguardados. Más que en el parking del faro.
Beau et calme. Mais envahit par les midges. Terrain plus stable juste après
Beau et calme mais midges +++. Un peu plus le terrain est plat et en béton. Pas de service
