    Spent Saturday night here and cars coming and going, loud music until gone midnight. Good cafe with friendly staff and a nice walk by side of the loch.

  • 3/5

    Visitor centre and amenities closed this evening (Tuesday in October) and seems mostly closed so don’t rely on them being available. Good access to cycle network and village close by for shops and eateries.

  • 3/5

    Endroit accessible à tout gabarit, mais 3 places seulement pour les grands. Aucune commodité. Le lieu est assez fréquenté la nuit, mais nous avons tout de même été relativement tranquilles.

  • 2/5

    Très bien pour se caler devant un coucher de soleil avec un apéro. Toutefois nous venons de passer une horrible nuit : trafic de voitures jusque 3h du matin avec gens qui crient et à 5h essai de motos… et nous sommes en semaine. plus jamais !! Dommage car lieu très sympa avec petite balade. Ok Canoë Kayak.

  • 3/5

    Großer Parkplatz am See ruhig gelegen. Aber auch Treffpunkt für Teenager die bei laufendem Wagen gerne Musik hören.

  • 5/5

    Great stopover with lots of activity during daylight hours from dog walkers etc Toilets and cafe open from 10am but no hot food and small gift shop Parking bays are really only suitable for VW type vans but we managed to get our 7.5mtr long moho in a spot near the entrance backed into the bushes with no problem.

  • 5/5

    Excellent park up, communal showers and toilets, car park quiet after 9/10pm, 5G and great phone signal.

  • 4/5

    Didn’t stay the night but called in for fresh water. Tap isolated so no use. Place looked quiet and like it would be a good place to stop the night if we weren’t moving on.

  • 5/5

    Turned up at dusk and as other users have said a few cars in and out during the evening, no issue and by 11pm perfectly silent. Woke to the birds and a great view of the swans and ducks on the Loch. Toilets opened around 9ish, very clean and hot water was a luxuary. Cafe looked good but didn't use.

  • 5/5

    Parked up on a quick trip up north, made some food and chilled! Few cars around with steamy windows but no disturbances!

  • 5/5

    Great place to spend a night, and only 20 minutes or so from Glasgow. So peaceful. There's a water tap on the toilet building.

  • 4/5

    Wir haben nach Wasser gefragt und uns wurde gesagt, dass der Außenwasserhahn nicht funktioniert. Aber Übernachten dürfen wir gerne im vorderen Bereich des Parkplatzes. Da wir nur Wasser brauchten sind wir weitergefahren

  • 5/5

    perfect spot for a night , even has electric vehicle chargers (evolt).

  • 5/5

    I was a bit concerned by reviews mentioning ‘dodgy dealings etc’ but was pleasantly surprised. Suggest you park closer to the entrance, away from the facilities. Yes, youngsters and cars came and went but there was no ‘racing’ or use of horns or loud voices. Our experience was definitely a positive one. We stayed on a Sunday night

  • 4/5

    Great spot. Rainy day. Did some hiking. Loved the view. No disturbances overnight. Joined by a couple other campervans. Everyone was night. Cute little town to walk or drive into. A great if you need to stop near Glasgow.

  • 4/5

    We stopped over night arrived 4pm left 9:30 29/9/21 our camper is 6 m long quite a few cars coming and going until about 11:30 pm, we didn’t have any problems,toilets closed at 3:30

  • 4/5

    Loads of space to park up, arrived after 5pm and left before 10am. Was a lovely quiet night looking out over the loch, will use again next time we are in the area.

  • 4/5

    Fine for an over night stop. Car park on the shore of Lochwinnoch. Sailing school next to it. Public toilets, but strange opening times - 1115 to 1545hrs. Car park was quite busy and quite a few cars turned up in early hours. Spar shop and pub a short walk.

  • 3/5

    Pleasant enough area but not really suitable for vehicles longer than car length.

  • 5/5

    Perfect, socal lake, very busy

  • 4/5

    Love this spot and the local village and pubs. Nice view and great for water sports and also nearby bird reserve. Spoke to staff on site. Cafe/shop is now open during the day but takeaway only as they can’t facilitate Track&Trace while it’s a requirement. Unfortunately the toilet/shower block suffered a burst pipe during lockdown and it’s also closed for repairs for the foreseeable.

  • 5/5

    Amazing views to wake up to over the loch, a lovely village & lots of nice walks.

  • 5/5

    As with other visitors lovely location. Cafe at the top of Church st with toilet for cost of a coffee. Visitor centre open but toilets closed due to virus. Busy all day on a lovely day Cycleway tarmac. I would stay again.

    Wir sind abends im Dunklen angekommen und haben nicht viel erwartet. Der Ausblick morgens direkt am See, mit Sonnenaufgang und wunderschöner Landschaft im Hintergrund hat uns absolut überrascht und begeistert.

  • 4/5

    Gute Möglichkeit für eine Übernachtung. Allerdings bis späten Abend noch etwas laut, da doch einige PKW‘s gerne mit laufendem Motor hier stehen. Durch die Hygienebestimmungen waren die Toiletten natürlich geschlossen. Ansonsten angenehm!

  • 4/5

    Super spot au bord de l'eau. Très calme et à plat. Robinet d'eau potable devant le bâtiment. Toilette ouverte de 9h15 à 16h15.

  • 4/5

    Angenehmer Platz zum Übernachten; ab und zu Fluglärm, Toiletten untertags bis etwa 18 Uhr geöffnet

  • 4/5

    Ok for one night. especially if you need to be close to the airport.

  • 4/5

    Parking tranquille et agreable. il n'est pas possible de vider les toilettes chimiques.

  • 5/5

    Great place for an overnight and lovely walking

  • 4/5

    Good spot on the loch side, few kids in cars late at night, but not loud, it's midweek and -2 though.

  • 5/5

    Update 2018 August: this place is great. Clean bathrooms open 9am-4pm and a fully stocked Cafe during those hours. The lake is beautiful. Be aware that kids come to party here late at night (it was a Friday night) and one car had their music too loud but when we politely asked them to turn it down they were extremely polite and did so.

  • 4/5

    Calme. Nous étions nombreux sans pour autant nous marcher dessus. Nous avons passé une très bonne nuit !

  • 4/5

    Parking très calme (peut être grâce à la période) face à un plan d'eau... Toilettes et café à côté... Seuls bruits : les canards et autre oiseaux qui peuplent l'endroit ?

  • 5/5

    A nice quiet place to stop overnight but be aware that the toilets are only open between 9.15am and 4.15pm. No height barrier. On the edge of the Loch.

  • 3/5

    Personnel du centre très accueillant, demander pour remplir en eau (potable) le robinet se trouve au fond près de l'établissement. Douches pour 2.5 £ /personne. Point de recyclage carton, métal, plastique, verre.

  • 4/5

    Je confirme un bon bivouac calme et agréable, par contre les toilettes ne sont ouvertes que de 9H30 a 16H30 en ce moment et je n'ai vu aucun service.
