Grand parking à 50 mètres de la taverne. C'est un parking assez fréquenté pour les camping-cars. Beaucoup de promeneurs. Endroit magnifique. Juste à côté du début de la voie d'ascension de Nevis.

Spent a very quiet night here, close to Ben nevis inn, so some vehicles passing from 7am,views over fields, 5 minutes from fort William lidl. Nice spot to stay, a few other vans stayed the night also.

Großer Parkplatz 50 Meter von der Taverne entfernt. Es ist ein ziemlich überfüllter Parkplatz für Wohnmobile. Viele Spaziergänger. Schöner Ort. Direkt neben dem Beginn der Nevis-Aufstiegsroute.

Gran lugar de estacionamiento a 50 metros de la taberna. Es un aparcamiento bastante concurrido por motorhomes. Muchos caminantes. Hermoso lugar. Justo al lado del inicio de la ruta de ascenso de Nevis.

    We spent a few days here as we did a couple of the clubs around Nevis. Our 6.9m MH fit but we did have to overhang our back end over the grass to get our nose in. I did have some concerns with the wind and the tall pine trees coming down but thankfully everything stayed as it was. Other vans were also there. The pub seemed busy but we were knackered and could not find the energy to visit.

  • 4/5

    Quiet night spent here with lots of other vans. Road up is very narrow although there are lots of passing places. The parking spots are not very long so more suitable for campervan than long motorhomes

  • 5/5

    A great spot at the base of the Ben Nevis trail. The pub/restaurant is open 12:00 to 21:00. Other campers using the spot but is nice and quiet.

  • 5/5

    Endroit au calme. Tout proche du restaurant mais peu de bruit de voiture même pour un samedi soir. Il y avait 5 autres fourgons avec nous. Au départ des randonnées pour Ben Navis.

  • 4/5

    Spent a stormy night here (19/10/23) sheltering from the storm that swept the Highlands, along with 11 other campervans. Offered great protection but the view of Ben Nevis is a bit disappointing from here. However it's a great starting point to climb Ben. The Inn does not allow parking overnight in their carpark but there are a number of spaces alongside the Inn. Rather narrow road to get their.

  • 5/5

    Stopped here many times great park up lovely views, great pub the Ben Nevis Inn right next to park up very quiet at night being a dead end no passing traffic apart from people visiting the pub.

  • 4/5

    Great we park up for 7m and less vehicles with the Nevis inn for feed and drink, they don’t accept pets unless in the beer garden. Sheltered from the winds even though you’re high up as the hills block the wind. Can be muddy around the park up verges but a lovely one night park up

  • 5/5

    Went in January and was basically empty! Nice quiet spot

  • 5/5

    Excellent quiet spot. The pub is only open Thursday to Sunday this time of year. Just keep following the road down, you will come to it.

  • 5/5

    endroit très calme avec peu de circulation. Nous avons passé une nuit tranquille.

  • 5/5

    Grand parking au bout d’une petite route. Assez tranquille. Le restaurant/pub juste à côté pour se poser et goûter des plats typiques. Nickel pour une nuit!

  • 5/5

    Great spot to spend the night! Very quiet. We did not hike the Glen Nevis trail, but if you wish to, it is right next to its start!

  • 5/5

    Right near fort William. Great spot to park over night. We stayed the night before we climbed Ben Nevis and the night after. Bin at the end of the road. There’s a restaurant right next to the car park to. If you are staying here and looking for facilities there is a leisure centre a few minutes away. £3 for a shower

  • 5/5

    Muy buenas vistas. Lugar tranquilo. Recomiéndanos llegar algo pronto porque se llena rápido a pesar de que hay bastantes sitios

  • 5/5

    Perfect spot to park your van overnight to hike up Ben Nevis. There's a big bin and great 4G on EE.

  • 5/5

    Super parking, avec une belle vue. Cependant beaucoup de Camping car.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here 2 nights, perfect for hiking Ben Nevis. There is a bin at the start of the walk.

  • 5/5

    Hab hier eine Nacht mit einem Kastenwagen gestanden um am nächsten morgen den Ben Nevis zu hochzugehen. Ruhige Nacht gehabt. Morgens früh geht der Trubel los, aber war alles im Rahmen. Die Markierungen zum parken sind schon eng, ein und aussteigen nur über Schiebetüren möglich bei Kastenwagen.

  • 3/5

    Vanaf deze parkeerplaats kan je goed Ben Nevis beklimmen. Gezellig pub ernaast. Verder is de plek niet heel speciaal, je staat allemaal naast elkaar in parkeervakken. Prima voor 1 nachtje. ‘S ochtends werden we wakker van de auto’s.

  • 4/5

    A great location right next to the start to the Ben Nevis ascent and a lovely inn. It can get very busy with side by side parking and it's best to leave quite early so that the parking space can be used by the walkers and climbers

  • 5/5

    Perfect location for hiking Ben Nevis! Had a quiet night here…nice pub! Recommend.

  • 5/5

    Wow, what a wonderful place, spectacular views magnificent walking and a great pub with real ale and superb food. Can’t recommend this place highly enough. Get here early or you’ll be disappointed.

  • 5/5

    Endroit très agréable mais beaucoup de monde et de vans. Belle vue, magnifique levé de soleil le matin ! pas de services sur place en revanche mais une taverne qui propose toilettes si consommations sur place. Le bruit des moutons est relaxant.

  • 5/5

    Nur am Wochenende überfüllt. wunderbarer Blick in die Berge, quer übers Land kurzer Weg zum Visitorcenter, gerade Plätze. Nachts ruhig

  • 2/5

    fantastic parkup! why only 2 stars? well the carpark is intended for those climbing Ben Nevis, and it is so nice to be able to stay after returning down (believe me you will need it after climbing to the summit) But sadly too many vans and motorhomes are using it just as a stopover without even setting foot on the mountain. This really is very unfair to those who need it but find it rammed solid.

  • 4/5

    El aparcamiento es un poco estrecho y al estar muy concurrido con una furgo grande es un poco difícil de maniobrar, pero es salvable. El aparcamiento es ideal para quien quiera realizar el ascenso del Ben Nevis, precios. La taberna también está muy bien

  • 4/5

    Parking idéalement situé au départ du Ben Navis et de l’auberge. Pas de problème pour se garer avec un 7.5m. Pas totalement de niveau mais acceptable. J’ai trouvé que c’était plutôt calme bien qu’assez fréquenté.

  • 3/5

    endroit sympa avec pub à côté pour un repas chaud et une bonne bière mais endroit très bruyant (moutons à côté et bcp de passage de voiture pour monter à ben nevis de très bonne heure

  • 5/5

    Spot sympa, surtout quand on souhaite faire le Ben Nevis le lendemain ! Nous sommes arrivés vers 18h et il restait encore une dizaine de place, mais tout a été pris dans l’heure qui a suivi, donc arrivez tôt ! Le pub est sympa et on y mange bien. Nous y avons fait deux nuits, c’est super calme. Beaucoup de monde, mais on est à côté du visitor center et au pied du Ben Nevis, donc logique !

  • 5/5

    Great for a night, especially if you’re planning a walk up Ben Nevis - you couldn’t start in a better place! Very busy and not much room between vans, but a quiet night and close to the pub (dogs only allowed outside in the beer garden). Beautiful scenery and surroundings.

  • 4/5

    Prachtige plek,gelegen aan de Ben Nevis prachtige klim naar de berg Rustig gelegen,maar gezellig! prima voor 1 nacht

  • 4/5

    Il faut arriver tôt car il y a beaucoup de monde et le parking s'est très vite rempli. Sinon spot très sympa au pied du Ben Nevis entouré de pâturages et un pub très agréable et bon. Si vous voulez y manger le soir, pensez à réserver en arrivant.

  • 4/5

    Vistas muy chulas. Perfecto para iniciar el trekking a Ben Nevis

  • 3/5

    très pratique pour faire le ben Nevis mais nous étions les un sur les autres

  • 4/5

    schöner Parkplatz am Anfang des Ben Nevis Aufstiegs, dadurch allerdings recht stark frequentiert. Pub ist ähnlich gut besucht, aber sehr empfehlenswert.

  • 5/5

    First night of car park camping and what a great spot. Not many spaces left at 8pm. Quiet though, and 50 yards from the pub.

  • 4/5

    Great spot to stay after hiking Ben Nevis and leaving early the next day. Lots of other vans/motorhomes when we were there but still ample parking for Inn guests and walkers.

  • 4/5

    Good spot but I'll echo what others have said, I noticed plenty of rubbish over the wall and a strong smell of urine (toilet emptying). becoming too common, can see this been shut down or rules enforced if it continues. still decent park up at the moment if you can get a spot.

  • 1/5

    Used to be a great quiet spot but now every space is taken with vans, even parking blocking gateways. This means no room for actual hikers which will get us banned. Plus rubbish bags dumped in the hedge! I give it until the end of the summer until the 'No Overnight Parking' signs go up. Sadly another spot ruined by overcrowding.

  • 1/5

    Peut être bien en hors saison. Au mois de juillet le parking était plein entre voitures au pub et camping car. Les stationnements sont en épis et les uns sur les autres type surpermarché. Certains ont quand même réussi à prendre deux places en ouvrant leur auvent. Un emplacement pleine nature mais avec 15 voisins. Le rêve…

  • 5/5

    stayed there last night, nice spot as said at the start of Ben Nevis climb quite night sleep a few cars and walkers passing but no problems beer ok in the pub near by , food looked good but dogs not allowed inside so just had a drink in the beer garden

  • 5/5

    superbe spot, tranquille. nous sommes arrivés à 17h, c'était déjà quasiment plein.

  • 4/5

    bel posto....max camper 7.5 metri.....gratuito. vicino c'è un pub super bello! piazzole strette, un po' affollato. per una notte ok...location molto suggestiva

  • 4/5

    Sehr schöner Platz für eine Übernachtung, von dort direkter Aufstieg zum Ben Nevis. Achtung: Kein Satelliten-Empfang.

  • 5/5

    haben die Nacht hier verbracht. perfekter Ort um den Aufstieg zum ben nevis zu starten. War ruhig trotz pub. Dort sind Toiletten für Gäste vorhanden. öffnet um 12 und schließt 23.

  • 5/5

    Fabulous spot at the start of the Ben Nevis trail - parking for 25 overnighters (although on an incline), great pub / bunkhouse serving gourmet grub, sunny beer garden. Nice atmosphere and buzz amongst walkers. Dead end, no road noise - but to-ing and fro-ing of walkers and diners. Wanna climb Ben Nevis? This is the place to start from and/or return to……

  • 5/5

    Beautiful spot to stop , lots of people climbing Ben Nevis , lovely little pub right next to park ups , scenery is gorgeous

  • 4/5

    Stayed the night before we did the Ben Nevis hike. Was fine, fairly busy with other vans but quiet. Not many completely flat spots .

  • 1/5

    Großer Parkplatz am Fuß vom Ben Nevis und direkt vor einem Pub. Es sind sehr viele Vans und Wohnmobile vor Ort. Man muss sich für einen Stellplatz zwischen andere Fahrzeuge quetschen. Die Straße ist schmal, man kommt hinter parkenden Wohnmobilen nur schwer vorbei. Es war den ganzen Abend BIS 1 Uhr morgens sehr sehr laut! Wir konnten nicht schlafen und mussten verzweifelt in der Nacht wegfahren…

  • 5/5

    Amazing spot, different campervan and motorhome were parked there but there is plenty of space. There is a lovely pub that serves very good food and beers just in front of it. Definitely recommend if you are planning to stay in the area

  • 5/5

    klasse Overnight-Parkmöglichkeit in einer Gegend mit wenigen kostenlosen Abstellmöglichkeiten

  • 4/5

    Très bien pour passer une nuit ! On est au pied du Ben Nevis et du départ de la rando. Les places sont plutôt étroites, et le parking est bien rempli. On peut utiliser les toilettes de l’auberge si on consomme :) très belle vue sur la vallée et ses moutons

  • 2/5

    TOO MANY CAMPER VANS. Even a tent was pitched up. Avoid if possible, unless you really want to hike from there in the morning or you have a reservation for dinner. Try to stay before or after Fort William. We stayed a little down from the parking, and vans kept coming and going till dawn. And this on a Thursday beginning of Mai!

  • 4/5

    Chouette endroit pour une nuit mais un peu bruyant ( quand les gens quittent le pub juste en bas) Les places sont étroites. Nous avons quand même passé une bonne nuit.

  • 5/5

    Really quiet and free little spot, off the beaten track. Right next to the Ben Nevis Inn which had great food at reasonable prices. If you have a dog then it’s beer garden only so wrap up. But really worth a visit.

  • 4/5

    Un parking para pasar la noche genial y el bar Ben Nevis Inn perfecto para una buena cena. Gracias al propietario

  • 3/5

    A really lovely stay, bottom of Ben Nevis. We weren’t hiking but a very convenient stay if you are as the footpath starts at this car park! The pub was fantastic and we had a very lovely meal before staying. No facilities but easy enough to travel back down into Fort William with plenty of shops/restaurants/fast food

  • 5/5

    lovely spot for an overnight. very close to one another mind and a lot of the spaces are sloped but it's free. pub done nice drinks but was fully booked for food. Big bin so please put rubbish in it.

  • 5/5

    Free parking! Parked here really quiet, about 6 other vans. Beautiful pub and food was great! Would 100% recommend. Toilets available in pub until late.

  • 5/5

    Vista espetacular sobre os arredores do Ben Nevis, num parque de estacionamento sem restrições e adequado a autocaravanas. A nossa noite foi bastante tranquila. Há um pub bem perto onde há música ao vivo todas as terças-feiras e comida boa. Uma das melhores noites da nossa semana.

  • 4/5

    Plenty of park spots. Can easily fit vans, though large motorhomes are a bit tight (but can perfectly park). Easy to access but single lane road, so be careful. Good for overnight stay and close to a pub and Ben Nevis.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful quiet little spot, no parking restrictions. We arrived around 3.30 lots of spots available, although would imagine would be really busy in the warmer weather. We had a lovely meal in the pub although the drinks were expensive £9 for a pint of larger and half a cider.

  • 5/5

    Wunderbare Aussicht, sehr gutes Lokal direkt gegenüber. Die Straße zum Parkplatz ist nur einspurig, also vorsichtig fahren. Der Parkplatz selbst ist sehr gerade und sehr gut zum Stehen über Nacht geeignet. Wirklich super!

  • 5/5

    Great view, comfortable nights sleep with no disturbance and plenty of spaces when we arrived. Popped into the pub for a whiskey (lots of choice!) and to listen to some live music (Tuesdays 8 - 10pm). a great evening, would recommend this spot!

  • 3/5

    Muy buen sitio por el entorno y la cercanía a Ben Nevis. Pero todas las plazas, absolutamente todas, están bastante inclinadas.

  • 4/5

    Great spot, very quiet night as road stops 50 yards beyond at the Ben Nevis Inn. What more could you ask for! Well to be honest it would have been perfect if pub had been dog friendly. No facilities but that is to be expected and a good trade for a good nights sleep.

  • 4/5

    Très pratique vue qu'il n'y a pas grand chose sur Fort William pour passer la nuit. Parking simple, pas mal en pente selon la place, calme et très belle vue !

  • 5/5

    Easy place but silent and of course cheap. best: very natural and a great pub nearby. it is a must to have there a drink. wonderful!

  • 5/5

    Amazing spot, would highly recommend. It's a rare find in a place like Fort William - quiet and among nature yet always with other campers and you can leave your vehicle there and start the Ben Nevis trail saving you £8 for parking at the visitor centre parking.

  • 4/5

    Great spot right next to the Ben Nevis walk. During off peak season plenty of spaces available even after 9pm.

  • 4/5

    Einfacher und ruhiger Parkplatz direkt am Fuß des Ben Navis. Super um am nächsten Tag die Wanderung zu mache. Restaurant gleich in der Nähe.

  • 5/5

    Great for a night if you are hiking Ben Nevis. Pub doesn't allow dogs inside unfortunately.

  • 5/5

    Easy and nice for one night. Pub next to the parking with good food. Perfect if you like to make Ben Nevis next day ;-)

  • 3/5

    Perfect for starting Ben Nevis hike, with the bonus of the pub for when you finish, not much else. Plenty of other vans around. Would not stay again unless doing Ben Nevis hike again!

  • 5/5

    Perfect location for walking Ben Nevis. The car park fills up fast so arrive early to avoid disappointment. The Ben Nevis Inn serves amazing food so they’re certainly worth checking out!

  • 5/5

    Very close to start of Ben Nevis walk. Fairly busy with vans, but dead end so no traffic in post 10pm. A few flat spots.

  • 5/5

    Parking avec une dizaine de place. La route pour y accéder est étroite (une seule voie) par contre tranquillité assurée ! Le gros plus est le pub juste à côté où on mange extrêmement bien !!

  • 5/5

    Parking du départ d’une randonnée de Ben nevis. Plat ; vue sur les moutons ; petite auberge au bout du chemin si besoin d’un verre etc . On a très bien dormi ; juste on est pas seul au monde mais aucun soucis

  • 4/5

    Parking gratuit pour la randonnée de Ben Nevis. Nuit calme. Pas de service

  • 4/5

    Il posto non è spettacolare in sé, ma è perfetto per la salita al ben nevis in mattinata, il parcheggio è affollato ma c’è un discreto ricambio, non desistere se non trovi posto subito! Sarebbe il caso di dormire qui solo con l’intenzione di partire presto per l’escursione e ripartire appena possibile, data l’enorme afflusso di persone.

  • 5/5

    Perfect if you want to start for the Ben Nevis tour early in the morning, and very good food in the pub. But please use the place only if you want to do the hiking tour, when we’ve been there last night it was pretty full of campers and not all of them came for hiking. So it’s quite understandable that locals are annoyed if they don’t get a parking space in the morning.

  • 5/5

    Great parking spot, but it's usually pretty busy.

  • 2/5

    We arrived at 18.30. All the places were occupied by "normal" cars. There is also a B&B and a restaurant.

  • 5/5

    Seul parking autorisé la nuit et gratuit dans les environs. Ne pas hésiter à repasser si plus de place car pas mal d'allées et venues en début de soirée. Finalement il est resté 2 places libres toute la nuit. Ultra calme.

  • 4/5

    Parking al lado de Ben Nevis Inn y de la salida de la ruta. Ruido de gente hasta que cierra el bar y por la mañana, de gente que va a hacer la ruta. Durante la noche sin ruido. Útil si subes al Ben Nevi.

  • 4/5

    We went there before dinner to look at the location and came back later. There was more spaces then as this is one of the start of the track to climb Ben Nevis and people . A few other vans there with us. We should have gone and check out the pub restaurant next to this parking. We went there the next day after our walk. It was lovely and we definitely would have had dinner there.

  • 2/5

    Very unhappy locals who come here to walk and run and can not park because it's full of motorhomes. The pub has its own little car park. Very tight spaces, couldn't open windows. We left and paid to park at motorhome car park by Ben Nevis Visitor centre. Much better and no agro.

  • 5/5

    Sehr guter Platz mit toller Aussicht. Normalweg zum Ben Nevis startet hier. Recht viel los, insgesamt 13 Camper. Ich finde max. Länge 6.5m, die Zufahrt zum Nevis Inn ist dahinter und es müssen andere Autos noch vorbei kommen.

  • 5/5

    good spot, spaces long enough for 7.5m

  • 5/5

    Parking OK, plusieurs places assez faciles pour s’y garer. Au pied de la randonnée de Ben Nevis !

  • 5/5

    Great spot, lots of parking spaces and next to a gorgeous pub with mountain views.

  • 5/5

    Good spot for parking. No amenities but there is an Inn nearby. Good cellphone coverage and not too far out of Fort William.

  • 4/5

    a bit cramped lots of campers not a lot of room but excellent position for doing Ben nevis

  • 5/5

    Absolutely amazing spot right on Ben Nevis doorstep with fantastic views, plenty of space, with the Ben Nevis inn 30 seconds walk from car park.

  • 5/5

    Very nice spot. All good there. And: the Ben Nevis Inn is such a great spot to have some drinks and food!

  • 4/5

    Nice quiet spot with no disturbances. Other campers there which I can only say is a bonus! Was a tad windy though but maybe we just had rough weather! Bigger motorhomes may struggle to park unless they get there early!

  • 3/5

    Sehr schräge und enge Parkplätze. Als wir ankamen sehr voll von PKWs und Womos. Für lange Womos nicht zum empfehlen. Max. 6 m. Bei schönem Wetter von Bergwanderen sehr stark verquentiert.

  • 4/5

    Stayed here on 23 05 2022. Lovely peaceful spot. Great views and the Ben Nevis Inn very handily nearby, with great food.

  • 4/5

    Redelijk wat passage tot laat in de avond. Mooi uitzicht over de bergen. We staan hier niet alleen, wat wij alleen maar een pluspunt vinden.

  • 4/5

    Mooie plek wel krap voor een grote camper 6+ maar het is te doen. We verbleven hier 1 nacht

  • 5/5

    Nice quiet spot nearby Fort William with no facilities. Rang pub and they were more than happy for us to stay (without having a meal or drink). Poor signal on Vodafone.

  • 4/5

    bien pour y passer une nuit sans plus ou si vous voulez faire la rando . petit Pub a côté (assez prisé)très sympa. nous y avons dormi un dimanche soir mais les places sont recherchées entre les camping-car et les clients du Pub. nuit calme

  • 5/5

    if your planning to walk the ben nevis its a great spot. direct at the start there are more than 15 places but can be busy.

  • 4/5

    Bien pratique pour dormir près de Fort William, relativement plat et relativement calme, surtout la nuit. Bonne réception 4G.

  • 5/5

    Brilliant place to stay when hiking Ben nevis. Would highly recommend. Very windy but perfect location and free ☺️

  • 5/5

    Had a great night of sleep after the hike to Ben Nevis and a dinner at the Inn. Woke up to the sound of the sheep-neighbours.

  • 5/5

    Nice spot plenty of space for 15 or so vans. Quiet night little to no cars moving around in the evening. The Ben Nevis inn is just up the road bit pricey but a nice pub. Fairly level.

  • 5/5

    At the feet of old Ben this is the perfect site to camp in the van. The pub that is 1 min walk from the parking bays served amazing food with plenty of vegan vegetarian options as well as lots of fish and meats and good booze! Dead quiet at night, little lambs in the field behind with a lovely forest ahead - Ben Nevis climbs up behind her. The only negative is the area is on a slight elevation!

  • 5/5

    Super fijne plek om te slapen. Je rolt je bed uit en je kan de Ben Nevis beklimmen. De pub naast de parkeerplek heeft heerlijke biertjes!

  • 5/5

    great place to start the Ben Nevis Hike. - We had a 8 Meter Camper, with which it was only possible to Park in the beginning of the Parking spot. - So arriving early with a big Camper is recommended

  • 5/5

    Fab park up. Ideal for climbing Ben Nevis. Really quiet as at the end of a dead end road. Was busy with other vans so I'd arrive early. Pub next door is fab.. Doesn't allow dogs inside though, but you can sit in the beer garden.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here in early April and absolutely loved it. Fantastic pub 20 meters away from parking. Excellent stop to rest before climbing Nevis. Only around 4 vans or so when I stayed.

  • 5/5

    Excellent free parking spot for overnight stay. Very quiet night and right at the start of the Ben Nevis walking route. Would highly recommend!

  • 5/5

    Sehr schöner und ruhiger Parkplatz.Des Restaurante ist sehr gut und wenn man dort etwas isst oder trinkt kann man da des WC benutzen (geöffnet von 12 bis 24Uhr). Sehr guter Startpunkt für Wanderungen.

  • 5/5

    lovely wee spot to spend the night. Nice and quiet. we were here late match and arrived later than planned due to road works but was still plenty of spaces at midnight. ideal for those climbing Ben nevis.

  • 5/5

    Great park up, very quiet. Fantastic food and drink at the Nevis Inn, staff very attentive. Handy for the start of the walk up Ben Nevis. Highly recommend this spot.

  • 4/5

    Just waking up after spending a nights here. Arrived around 4pm on a Sunday, plenty of space to park (slight incline) and we headed straight to the Ben Nevis Inn for a meal and drinks. Service was superb, as was the food. Customer toilets only, so be sure to buy a locally brewed pint, and if your lucky, grab a seat by the log burning stove. I’m on O2, and still manage two bars of 4G. Great spot!

  • 5/5

    Really quiet road at the bottom of the Mountain track for Ben Nevis! Great location if you’re wanted to climb Ben Nevis! Lots of spaces and next to a pub/Inn! No facilities

  • 5/5

    Quiet, only one other van all night, right at the end of a single track road. Ideal spot if you enjoy hiking as there is a path to Ben Nevis 20 metres away. Also a pub, Ben Nevis Inn, although it was closed when I stayed.

  • 3/5

    Stayed here for 2 nights in the past, both nights were 40mph gusts of wind. Great spot but absolutely no cover and horrible in the wind as the van gets buffeted and the winds comes in Strong and loud so 5 star on a windless night but no sleep to he had when windy!

  • 5/5

    Super spot for ben nevis

  • 5/5

    Best park up of our trip. Nice and quite and felt very safe with another 3/4 vans parked up alongside.

  • 5/5

    We arrived late one night in the pitch black unaware of where we’d be. No problems getting a space, very very quiet and we woke up to beautiful views. Overnight no problem.

  • 4/5

    Great spot for Ben nevis

  • 5/5

    Fantastic park up for the night next to pub also. no facilities but enough level spaces for five or six vans and then same again if you don’t mind a slight slope or have blocks. No midgies now not sure if they have finally left for the summer or whether it’s just a great spot free of them. Perfect spot if planning on hiking Ben Nevis.

  • 5/5

    Great spot for the night at the bottom of Ben Nevis. Single track in and out but plenty of soace

  • 5/5

    Nous avons passé une nuit tranquille sur ce parking idéalement situé pour le départ de belles balades.

  • 5/5

    Great restaurant - food was delicious and staff were so helpful with squeezing us in even though they were fully booked. Perfect location to Park overnight in the carpark before climbing Ben Nevis. No facilities other than toilet at visitor centre across the river.

  • 5/5

    Perfect for medium or small vans

  • 4/5

    Parked here for a night 9/7/21, had a lovely meal in the Ben nevis Inn less than a minutes walk, slept well, however woken early with walker's

  • 4/5

    Free parking at the start of the ben nevis walk, dead end road so quiet, only other campers and the pub customers, didn't use the pub but definitely would next time. No views or facilities and a few midges.

  • 3/5

    Very pretty views at the foot of ben nevis, bins around but no other services (save for the pub/b&b). pulled in late at night and still found a spot but the place was very crowded and a lot of people were coming and going in the morning.

  • 5/5

    10/10 Ideal camp for Nevis. The path meets with the one from the visitor centre. Also next to Ben Nevis Inn which has a great selection of beers and whisky.

  • 4/5

    Relatively quiet, free parking, great location, lots of spaces. Can walk to the visitor center down the mountain path for toilets. 5 mins.

  • 4/5

    Great little spot. Lovely views, direct path to Ben Nevis and Ben Nevis inn serves good food and drink. probably around 10-15 parking spaces, wasn’t busy when we was there!

    Great spot to park for the Ben Nevis trail. We spent two nights here no bother, I imagine it will get busy at times, however we were ok mid week end of July. Great little pub, keep the beautiful surroundings beautiful people x

    Great spot, we stayed 2 nights. can get busy with hikers for Nevis and other campers, we got woken up by people parking up! The pub is great too, good beer!

    Great spot for hiking with beautiful views. Free, no signs up. Ben Nevis Inn is amazing. Only down side is that you’re totally open to the elements and it was VERY windy when we stayed.

    Not sure what slope the review speaks of I haven’t been this level all trip. Spot on. Free. Ready to hammer Nevis in the morning

    Perfect for hiking in the area. River for swimming too. A bit jammed in side by side but even so you don’t really see anyone. Pub is great.

    Found this by accident - following postcode for Braveheart car park. Ben Nevis Inn great food.

    Lovely and very convenient spot for overnight stays. We stayed 2 nights, before and after climbing Ben Nevis. The path starts right here, so it’s an ideal spot. The pub (Ben Nevis Inn) is great; excellent food, not extortionately priced, very friendly. The visitor centre is only a 5 minute walk away, on the other side of the river, with toilets and taps to fill water bottles. The site itself is quite level for the top few spaces (we were lucky enough to get one) and slightly sloping as you go down towards the pub. Quiet at night. Definitely worth considering if you want a free stopover in Fort William and great for a Ben Nevis climb.

    Lovely views. Great spot at the bottom of Nevis. If you want to eat at the pub I advise to book early. Food and service were outstanding

    Great location for walking up Ben Nevis, and only 50 meters or so from Ben Nevis Inn which is a lovely pub. Nice and quiet, no facilities but can use the pub as long as you have bought food / drinks. Will definitely use this spot again.

    PERFECT location for walking up Ben Nevis. Start of the route AND pub only a stones throw away. Recommend getting the haggis from the pub. Flat ground, no passing traffic and nice views.

    Great place to stop for Ben Nevis, right next to the start of the walk, can see the nevis range. Nice and quiet, felt safe with other campers. Next to pub. Free.

    A very nice and quiet carpark at the foot of Ben Nevis, perfect for getting up early to hike. Saw a few other campers whilst we were there so felt very safe, no one bothered us and staff in the Ben Nevis Inn were ok with us parking there (although the carpark isn't owned by them). Just a car park though, no facilities but good for the night if you're looking to climb Nevis or after a place to rest for the night following a long hike!

    Stayed here for 2 nights. Had car park almost to ourselves. Ben Nevis Inn also good but no dogs allowed in the Inn.

    Sehr ruhige Nacht! Pub hat im Winter von Donnerstag bis Sonntag auf.

  • 3/5

    Parked up on the road just outside the Ben Inn. This is a quiet spot once the pub revellers have headed home- end of a track so there is no passing traffic. It’s a great spot for starting a hike up old Nev. No facilities, but a good enough spot for the night with level parking spaces.

    Parking un peu en pente mais pas dérangeant. Pub/restaurant juste derrière, tres beau et très bon menu. Musique tous les mardis soirs.

  • 5/5

    Parked here for 2 nights. flat ground, free, completely undisturbed, nice views, great pub 50m down the road, and the perfect place to start the hike up Ben Nevis. Good reception (unlike across the river at the Visitor Centre).
