Bel endroit entre les montagnes au bord d'un ruisseau babillant. calme et de temps en temps quelques cyclistes, marcheurs et voitures, qui ne valent pas vraiment la peine d'être mentionnés. il faisait chaud quand nous sommes arrivés et avons été accueillis par des essaims de moucherons. J'ai merveilleusement dormi pendant 2 nuits et baigné dans un ruisseau. recommandé.

Beautiful place between the mountains on a babbling brook. quiet and now and then some cyclists, walkers and cars, not really worth mentioning. it was warm when we arrived and were welcomed by swarms of midges. Slept wonderfully for 2 nights and bathe in a stream. recommended.

Wunderschöner Platz zwischen den Bergen an einem plätschernden Bach. ruhig und ab und zu ein paar Radfahrer, Spaziergänger und Autos, nicht wirklich der Rede wert. Als wir ankamen, war es warm und wir wurden von Mückenschwärmen begrüßt. 2 Nächte wunderbar geschlafen und im Bach gebadet. empfohlen.

Prachtige plek tussen de bergen aan een kabbelend beekje. rustig en zo nu en dan wat fietsers, wandelaars en auto's, niet echt het vermelden waard. het was warm toen we aankwamen en werden verwelkomd door zwermen muggen. 2 Nachten heerlijk geslapen en gebaad in een beekje. aanbevolen.

    Great spot for a night if you are passing through. Quiet, safe, clean, nature.

  • 3/5

    Good reception and close to the brook. The soil gets very soft with the smallest rain, so it's best to stay on the concrete. In the valley, so the wind is very strong.

    Great spot, next to the brook. Very uneven as you reverse in so be careful if the ground is soft. Great dab signal on the radio and Phn via EE

    Endroit calme et très mignon pour y dormir

    fantastic stop just outside Fort William, seems to be a popular one as a few vehicles turned around and went back after seeing I was here. views are stunning even when it's tipping it down. 4g is hit and miss on Vodafone and BT. there is parts of the stream that you can have a dip in

    Top place ! Great view on Fort William.

  • 4/5

    Attention par temps de pluie, nous nous sommes stationnées sur la partie en dur car les autres places sont vite détrempées et le risque de rester coincé est important. Sinon nuit plutôt calme même s’il y a des passage de voitures régulièrement, même la nuit. Bruit de l’eau et des moutons sympathique.

    Super coin, au bord de la rivière. En bord de route mais très calme la nuit et au milieu des moutons. Le panneau dit « no dumping » et pas « no camping » donc pas de soucis!

  • 4/5

    Très bon emplacement , entouré de mouton en pleine nature , la route est à côté mais le soir très peu de circulation .

    Schöner Ort nur steht mittlerweile ein "Camping verboten" Schild da

    Awesome spot. Surrounded by nature. Perfect for a dip in the river in the morning. Really quiet night. Can fit multiple vans if the weather is dry. Stayed 1 x night.

    Bel endroit au calme que du bonheur!!!!!!!

    Eine ungestörte, schöne Nacht hier gehabt. Der Platz ist sehr gefragt. Kaum standen wir dort, kamen noch einige andere Wohnmobile vorbei. Derzeit passt definitiv nur ein Fahrzeug hier hinein, da die Bereiche jenseits der asphaltierten Fläche aus Matsch bestehen. Es ist zu erkennen, dass hier schon Fahrzeuge stecken geblieben sind (wie ja hier auch zu lesen ist). Top 4G-Empfang.

    Eigentlich ein wunderschöner Ort, um die Nacht zu verbringen. Einige Midgets wegen der Nähe zum Bach. Wir standen etwas abseits der asphaltierten Fläche, die etwa zwei Meter ins Gras hineinragt. Der Boden ist sehr weich und wird bei leichtem Regen bereits zur Hölle. Wir haben stundenlang versucht herauszukommen und zum Glück externe Hilfe erhalten. Lieber etwas weiter oben an der Straße parken!

    This road gets busy with campers so I would suggest getting there early. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings however. There are plenty of places to pull in off the road to park up for the night. Midges can be bad in places. No issues with traffic or sound at night. Make sure you take YOUR rubbish away with you when you leave. Leave no trace people.

    Lovely spot but lots of sheep wandering around

    Prachtige plek tussen de bergen aan een kabbelend beekje. rustig en af en toe wat fietser, wandelaars en auto's, niet noemenswaardig eigenlijk. het was warm toen we aankwamen en werden verwelkomt door zwermen midges. kampvuur deed wonderen. 2 nachten heerlijk geslapen en badderen in beekje. aanrader.

    Jolie vue et spot au calme mais ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ les jours de vent et de forte pluie: ce matin nous sommes complètement embourbés, le véhicule ne peut plus bouger, nous avons du appeler une dépanneuse.

  • 4/5

    secluded, quiet. only space for vehicle. ground isn't level only downside

  • 5/5

    Great wee spot for an overnight in our large 7.5m motorhome. Good ish phone signal and good TV signal. Very quiet and peaceful with no traffic on road. Lovely wee stream beside it as well.

  • 3/5

    It is a nice spot with the wee stream running behind. Unfortunately someone has seen fit to leave their s**t on the open grass along with the tissues they have used. I don't understand why folk do this, just take a wee spade or trowel, or crap in a dog poo bag and dispose of later.

  • 4/5

    Nice spot, although no place to crap as it’s so close to two streams. Very patchy mobile signal.

    Upon leaving this location I feel extreme emotive dichotomy. So much so, in fact, that I've decided to leave this review in Haiku: Towering mountains, luscious greens with serene streams but f**k the midges!

  • 5/5

    Amazing spot, your only neighbors will be some sheep. It has everything you can ask for, view, quite, river… we left it exactly as we found it please do the same, it’s a lovely place. Xxx

  • 5/5

    Great place amazing views and a few cars passing by... We arrived at 10.30 am and was peaceful , local families came and played in the water was beautiful watching the little ones play only stayed for an hour so again peaceful. cleaned up the mess around tissues and drink cans its a shame to make a beautiful place a mess... Staying over night

    Great spot for our roof tent however sad that we found rubbish when we got there. Quite a lot of midges due to being by the river and a few passing cars but died down by around 10pm.

  • 5/5

    Great spot, road is very quiet and the little stream made for a great morning stroll. The space is clearly used by locals for parking while they bike. Two cars asked if they could park up for a bit whilst we were there.

    Lovely little spot. Very quiet and tranquil. Managed to find this spot using this app so thanks for that. Im driving a home built 2005 lwb mercedes sprinter 313. And managed to fit on here with room for another of similar size if u use levelling blocks. No one to disturb you here except the sheep. Remember always take your litter home

    Beautiful little spot off the road, quiet and peaceful. Enough for one camper, but two if you were travelling together! Really lovely little spot, and really close to Ben Nevis and Fort William
