Une nuit au calme dans cette rue sans issue quartier résidentiel

Too dark and secluded. Didn‘t feel safe and went somewhere else.

L’endroit est sombre, des voitures roulaient vites et nous frôlaient. Nous étions à cheval sur le trottoir, vers 0h00 nous avons décidé de partir car on ne se sentait pas en sécurité! Nous avons été dans une impasse de quartier de maison finir notre nuit! Je recommande pas du tout ce lieu en tout cas !

Stayed here for one night new to solo stealth camping in my Audi, Old luss road is around a mile long next to the A82 , sheltered by trees, you can park anywhere along the road but towards the end of the road there is an old stone wall with a space to reverse a small camper in, several cyclist and joggers through the day and through the night the odd car might drive up and down.

bon spot cependant il y a le bruit de la route mais pratique. quelque passage sur la route de nuit mais on peut ce garer et faire demi tour facilement en van

OK if you don't mind constant noise of traffic

visited but didn't stay the night. lots of trees covering the road so would have had very little solar power! good signal on 3 network but much nicer spots close by :)

Initially looked at this but as a loan female and nee to campervanning, I felt it was too dark secluded for me so moved to somewhere that felt safer .

You could hear the road but we thought a low rumble was much better than cars driving past close by/rush hour starting in the morning. Very few cars/people came past us. Most other vans chose to stay behind the pub or the visitors centre. There’s a new car park by the bird sanctuary, lots of motor homes there, but we didn’t spot if there were restrictions.

Great overnight stay. Loads of free parking. We were the only ones there. Very close to Loch Lomond. The only thing is that we haven’t come across a bin yet.

If you drive to the top end of this road past the residential houses, it’s out of the way and very quiet and you can park overnight undisturbed save the odd jogger/ cyclist. This part of the road backs into a holiday park and You can’t really see the loch except the odd glimpse through the trees. Short walk into Balloch. Good overnight stop over.

Very quiet spot. Most of the lane has a slight gradient. Parked at the top the following day so we could stroll in to Balloch.

Most of this is outside private homes....just feels rude to be intruding. Couldn't stay here.

A lovely quiet location tucked just a minute away from shops etc. Make sure not to park too close to A82…

Road as described, but very dark with overhanging trees. Cyclists & joggers using road. Met another motorhomer who decided it was too quiet/remote. Both of us went to open public car park by bridge & marina.

We were the only van on this mile stretch of road in sunny May 2021 we couldn’t believe it. Sheltered by trees and with no through traffic due to the road being a dead end it was very quiet. Few joggers etc going passed in the evening but nothing overnight. Very close to walks around Balloch. Had a lovely meal sat outside The Pier kitchen and bar which we would recommend. Macdonalds only a 1 min drive in the morning for a breakfast and toilet break.

Great quiet location and plenty of parking spaces when arriving late at night. Phone reception was good and views across the golf course were good. The reason I have marked this as 4 stars is that the road is a dead end and there were some suspicious cars deriving down to the bottom, spending 10 minutes down there then driving back. This made us quite worried as it was late at night.

Nice quiet spot, only us there for the night. There's a nice pub, the Queen of the Loch you pass on the way in, its within walking distance

Great spot, very little road noise, only one other van on the whole stretch, we parked near to the start but further along is tree lined on both sides.

Relatively quiet road, especially the closer to the start of the road that you park. no facilities and limited views but good and quiet enough for a comfortable night.

No facilities around unless you go to McDonalds (3 min drive ish) but quiet, a couple of late night/early morning walkers and cyclists but no bother to us! Not many bugs or midgies so was nice to have doors open! Very shaded and long road plenty of space for many campers!

Very quiet and wasn’t disturbed. Limited view of lake. Easy place to stop at the beginning of the national park :)

Good spot with tons of parking, definitely allowed to park here as a police car went passed and didn't bat an eyelid (it's a dead end so cars turn at the end) Good tree cover if the weather is bad and close to a McDonald's if you need the loo in the morning.

Functional spot on empty road with plenty of space. Limited views of Loch Lomond. Under tree cover, can hear cars on the main road. Not the most private spot in the morning with joggers and cyclists but good spot to walk in to Balloch for the evening. Would recommend Cucina, a lovely Italian restaurant.
