    Great place with accessible walks around the NNR and also longer hikes up 3 munros. Beauitful swimming spot at the lochan about 5miles up an easy track through Coire Ardair. Flat parking area, bbq area, orchard to pick your own apples, gooseberries etc in the season. access to the beach at Loch Laggan across the road and don't forget to buy venison at the farmhouse 500m up the track.

    Nice place very nice

  • 5/5

    Popular spot - there must have been 15 vans there on the rainy night we stayed! Quiet location set back from the road with a toilet about a 5mins walk up at the farm. Nice place to walk the dog in the morning. Plus took away some fresh venison burgers from the farm for dinner.

  • 5/5

    Brilliant space, thank you! Great hiking trails and really good for dogs. Beautiful starry sky at night and super quiet.

  • 5/5

    Super Platz direkt neben der Straße. Läuft man ein paar Meter Richtung Berg hört man die Straße nicht mehr. Sehr schöne Wanderwege und dass alles kostenlos. Viel Platz

  • 4/5

    Parking un peu en retrait de la grande route. Nombreuses places de stationnement, tables de pique-nique et barbecue possible. Pré attenant avec quelques tentes mais attention aux midges !

  • 5/5

    Schöner Platz. In der Nähe gibt es ein Farmhaus Dort können Hirschburger gekauft werden aus Eigenproduktion.

  • 5/5

    Très bon spot dans la nature, calme.

  • 5/5

    lovely spot, please leave it that way and make a donation to help. one other small van there when we arrived so we picked a spot on the other side of the car park, then despite there still being lots of space, a very large motorhome parked right next to us, yes, sadly they drive amongst us.

  • 5/5

    Loved this spot. Stayed overnight and was treated to an atmospheric thunderstorm in the mountains. Really lovely walks here too. Plenty of space, even for renovated buses. The house on this land sells meat too. Make sure to leave a donation!

  • 5/5

    a wonderful place to park on a nature reserve. really quiet. A donation is requested which I think is well worth it. toilets in the vicinity, benches, BBQs as well as nature walks.

  • 5/5

    Very nice and quiet!

  • 5/5

    Sehr schöner Platz. Etwas staubig. Hat uns aber nicht gestört. Abends gerne die alten bekannten Mücken. Trotzdem 5 Sterne!

  • 5/5

    Well situated in the nature reserve car park for a night before climbing Creag Meagaigh. Level parking with little road noise. Although no bins, it was refreshing to see no litter. Donations voluntary - please donate as the parking and toilets don’t maintain themselves. Great spot.

  • 5/5

    Great views, nice and flat, perfect parking for a night

  • 5/5

    Stopped here on route to Skye. Lots of space and lovely walks. Toilet was a short walk away at the farmhouse. Free to park for a great nights sleep. There are donation boxes at the car park and at the toilet. Just wonderful to have a reliable park up like this in such a beautiful spot.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful and safe site set back off the road. Highland cows in the field with picnic benches to have a meal overlooking the gorgeous views. Lovely nature trail with stream to paddle in. Really quiet. Donations welcome but otherwise free. A must!

  • 5/5

    Varied walk lengths. Lots of local & nature information. Venison available from farm. Toilets up at farm. Great wee spot.

  • 5/5

    brilliant place flat and quiet, pity I had to start my stay by getting out my spade and bury human waste we need to keep places like this clean before they all become non existent it's not hard de

  • 5/5

    lovely flat car parking area. only two vans when I was there. toilet seemingly a 5 min walk up the path. information/ leaflets in the small shelter. bin beside the entrance.

  • 5/5

    A large flat car park on the nature reserve that welcomes vans. They have a donation box at the information sign. Fantastic views and well worth donating a few quid to help with the upkeep of this place. Great long and short walks,straight from the carpark. Toilets are about quarter of a mile up the track but are clean and well stocked. We had a lovely quiet night there on a Saturday evening.

  • 5/5

    Stumbled across this place when the nearby bothy was full, woke up to snow everywhere which was amazing. 5 minutes walk up the hill to toilets and can carry on for a great walk up the hill.

  • 5/5

    Great spot to overnight and a walk from, venison burgers and steak available from the house.

  • 5/5

    As people have said before. Good level parking with signage that says ‘Campers Welcome’. Large area. Plenty of space. Pretty flat. Recommend the walk up to Coire Adair’s. 8 miles but well worth it. Also bought the farmers venison burgers and made a donation. Leave no trace.

  • 5/5

    Large flat car park for the fabulous nature reserve, toilets a short walk up to the farmhouse. Handmade venison burgers for sale at the farmhouse, £3 for 2 burgers.

  • 5/5

    A perfect spot set back from the road. Level and plenty of space. Good public toilets a short distance from the park and lots of trails to explore. Very quiet and peaceful.

  • 5/5

    Nice Location, starting point for some smaller walks, enough space for parking, offers free and clean toilets. 5/5

  • 5/5

    Great spot. It is quiet with full signal and toilets. They ask for a donation. Lovely landscape and walks around.

  • 5/5

    Great place with plenty of space. Not too busy despite being high season. Only about 6 vans. The place asks for donations and we’ll worth it. It was a pity that a couple of users were abusing the otherwise pristine place by dumping their waste water - you can do better people.

  • 5/5

    meilleur parking de notre voyage je pense. très spacieux, belles promenades au alentours. Toilettes à qql min à pied. Je recommande. N'hésitez pas à faire un don, des endroits pareils il n'y en a pas des masses!

  • 5/5

    Precioso. Es un parque natural, senderos para pasear. Se paga la voluntad.

  • 5/5

    Nice quiet & spacious area. Hard standing level parking, it perfect for an overnight stop or a daytime visit. Theres walks nearby with a small booth providing maps & guides. A donations box is next to the main information board. EE & Vodafone have good 4g signal. O2 & Three mobile pretty poor

  • 5/5

    Superbe spot. Le parking est super grand, plat. Les randonnées au départ sont très belles. Les toilettes un peu plus loin dans le parc sont propres et pratique.

  • 5/5

    Brilliant stop over place. Huge car park pretty much level everywhere. Stunning views. Toilets is about 500 meters away but it’s a nice walk so worth it. Leave a donation. The walk up past the toilets gives amazing views of the lochs and mountains. By the road but very quiet at night, we weren’t disturbed at all. No bins

  • 5/5

    Wonderful night stop. Plenty of space and campers welcomed. 4 other vans with us last night but loads of room and very peaceful. Some road noise but not loud at all especially if you park further back. Please donate in the honest box to support for the Creag Meagaidh Nature Reserve. Definitely worth a walk up to the reserve. We took the longest trail up to a hidden Lochan, absolutely stunning.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here one night, lots of space. One of the best off grid places I’ve been .Will definitely be back.Left donation in box

  • 5/5

    Stayed here last night was a nice stop over and it says all donations greatly revived I put in a fiver.

  • 5/5

    Excellent park up for campers. Plenty of spaces. Flat ground. Also a nature reserve with a gorgeous woodland walk. Very clean and well kept. Great starting point for many mountain walks. Very quiet away from the road. Stayed 1 night but will definetly return. Please remember to leave a donation for upkeep of grounds!

  • 5/5

    Great place to stop the night for climbing surrounding mountains, please remember and leave a donation to support the facility.

  • 5/5

    Such a beautiful spot to sleepover. We stayed the morning and took a walk around the area! 5 Stars! Really big carpark away from the road and was just us and 1 other van. Toilets are a little walk away from carpark but not end of the world as was a really pretty walk. And they were heated & clean!! Don't forget to donate - really beautiful place!!

  • 5/5

    I parked here yesterday, hiked up to Lochan a’ Choire, and stayed the night in the car park. I spoke to a ‘Nature Scot’ Reserve Manager who was emptying the Donations Box. He commented that there were 13 vans in the car park and only £15 in the Box. £10 of that was from me. He said that while it’s a voluntary donation, if people take advantage, it will likely lead to the gates being locked.

    24/9/21 . Amazing spot, vans and campers welcomed, close to loch and great views, gets a thumbs up from me.

  • 5/5

    Overnighted here in motorhome. No problems. Just small donation. Good walks from car park. Large car park. 6 vans last night.

  • 4/5

    Very nice car park welcoming campers, many walks starting there, but the toilets and visitor center are almost 500m away.

  • 5/5

    Stopped for lunch and a walk. Fantastic place, committed to re-establishing natural flora and fauna. Spoke to member of staff who says up to 14 vans the previous night. Very welcome, and encouraged to make donation. Toilet at main house 400m up the drive. We did not overnight as booked in site at Loch Ness, but next time!

  • 5/5

    the gate is never locked and the car park is open 365 days per year.

  • 5/5

    Great large car park off the road, nice and quiet, a few vans overnight. watch out for the midges mid summer.

  • 5/5

    Super clean and well maintained local nature park. Three nice walks are signposted straight from the car park which is level and perfect for a night. There is a toilet facility 500m up the track. Watch out for midges. Aside from that, it's a perfect wild camping stop

  • 4/5

    Ottimo posto per passare la notte in piena tranquillità. Il terreno è abbastanza piatto mentre il segnale telefonico scarso. Ci sono anche i tavoli per mangiare all' aperto, clima permettendo.

  • 5/5

    Looks like a great spot for overnighting. We didn’t stay as the road was being resurfaced overnight and they were using this parking as their HQ so was going to be noisy. No facilities.

  • 5/5

    This is a spotless, well maintained nature reserve with some excellent walks. It has toilets but they are a long walk. The youth hostel beside toilets seems nice. All run by Scottish Natural Heratige. Site was busy 1st thing with walker's but but not crowded

  • 5/5

    Perfect. Safe free, fairly large carpark. pretty flat. Picnic tables. Amazing walks. what's not to like!

  • 4/5

    Nice place near a lake and stream, not completely level. toilets are far away from parking. full of midges !

  • 3/5

    Ce soir 4 camping-cars. Toujours aussi propre. Attention... MIDGES.

  • 4/5

    Parking simple. Penché d'un côté. Des toilettes de dispo et couverture réseau bonne. Une très belle balade (max 4h) jusqu'à un loch. Un peu bruyant le soir mais calme la nuit. Des midges au petit dej, miam !

  • 5/5

    Lovely quiet place to stay with some good walks.

  • 5/5

    Avons passé la nuit sur ce parking. Bon endroit calme. Environnement exceptionnel

  • 5/5

    Big gravel carpark. Mostly level. Lots of room for many campervans, even tents. Off the main highway so very quiet. Great 4G mobile reception.

  • 5/5

    It was meant to be a quick overnight stopover, but we ended up spending two nights there. Large and flat carpark for a beautiful hike, clean toilet 400m up the trail, off the main road with minimal traffic. Perfect spot for free camping.

  • 3/5

    Sehr schöner großer Parkplatz. Sehr gepflegt!

  • 5/5

    Quiet overnight stay at the hill walkers car park. Toilet 0.5 k up the track. I have stayed here a few times and it's a perfect stop for the night with a few short walks. A long walk over the hills if your able !

  • 5/5

    Parcheggio lungo la strada, ma ben distante dal traffico. In mezzo "al niente". Come compagnia le montagne e.. le pecore. Traffico pressoché inesistente.

  • 5/5

    Großartig! Auch wenn man nicht dort schlafen möchte: Kurze schöne Wanderungen (0,7/1,8/5 m.) Der 1,8er geht auf einen Aussichtspunkt und an der Farm wieder vorbei durch ein Märchenwald. Alles sehr gepflegt! Zahlreiche Tiere zu sehen. Nacht: Super schön ruhig, auch LKW Fahrer nutzen diesen Parkplatz.

    Un emplacement très au calme avec table de pique-nique sur gazon vert et bien tondu, troupeau de highland et proche du loch laggan.
