Parking at any time in any of the passing places is illegal. Please do not park at any time in any of the laybys so that you do not impede the road improvement works.

No services but park up with a good view, signal flicks between 3G/4G. Okay for a stop off overnight. Can fish off the rocks too.

Perfect spot. The roadworks are complete, so it’s an easy drive in. There is level space for 12 cans of varying size. You’re right on the water, and up 5m so no risk of flooding. And there are 24hr public toilets available in Staffin just a few minutes drive away.

Flat tarmac, seems brand new, flat and great views. Very quiet through the night and morning. Harbour had a vehicle and boat so couldn’t really work out where to position ourselves down there.

This is the best spot on our Scotland trip so far. Great location and right next to the sea. Fisherman from the nearby fishery left by 6pm then very quiet. Only one other van, plenty of space.

Got there about 5pm and shared it with 3 other vans. Good turning area by the pier at the end of the road. Beautiful park up. Don’t forget to find the dinosaur prints!

Amazing spot to spend the night overlooking the sea - road works are now all completed and there’s space for around 8 vans on the free beachside parking. We swam morning and evening, and found the fossilised dinosaur footprints on the low morning tide. Weather comes in quickly so be prepared to batten down the hatches! No facilities at all, so please take all rubbish with you.

Une vue magnifique, tout au bord de l'eau. Des vaches un peu téméraire par moment mais tout s'est bien passé. Je recommande !

Brilliant spot. Plenty of spaces and few wind but not too many midges. We've been able to have a nice walk after dinner and enjoy a lovely sunset. We slept very well there so will definitely recommend.

Buen spot, buenas vistas y Tranquilo por la noche. Cuidado con el aire, orientar la furgoneta de cara al viento de lo contrario no puedes dormir del movimiento.

Amazing spot where you can listen to the waves all night. Great little beach you can access from here easily. Little-to-no road noise, especially overnight. Good cellphone coverage. No toilets or rubbish bins nearby.

Une vue magnifique au milieu de la nature. Un parking plat. Très calme la nuit. Assez rapidement plein. Attention l'endroit est très peu abrité du vent. Nous avons du en partir au milieu de la nuit à cause de vents violents. Allez y en ayant vérifié s'il n'y a pas de météo tempétueuse !

beautiful place at the northern point of Skye. falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the sea is really good. parking area is large. along the road are st least 3 good sized locations for i think about 3 motorhomes each. good 4g connection.

We stayed here for one night, no issues with Road works I think these have now been completed. A 2 minute walk to see the dinasour prints, my partner went for a swim in the sea and as we sat having a bbq we spotted some seals! Brilliant place to stay, very peaceful and stunning views.

Arrived very late and night (after a late ferry from Harris). Seemed fine but had Gale force winds which led to a fairly sleepless night. Nice spot, just not when it’s windy.

Great nights stay in October 2021! Lots of other vans there too. There were some decent sized motor homes too so I think any size could get down. There’s a nice little beach when the tide is out that my dog loved!

Perfect nights stay. room for a good number of vans and it's so quiet at night except for the sound of the sea. no facilities. I went for a lovely dip in the water in the morning as well.

Great reasonably level spot with fantastic views and access to beach. 4g on EE fine…typing this from there now! Although access road is tight, there is plenty of rooms for large motor homes (ours is 7.5m plus bike rack). Highly recommend if not looking for any services.

Amazing spot! fantastic view's, beautiful beach that's amazing for a swim with fossil dinosaur footprints, even saw the northern lights toilet's 5 minutes drive up the road in Staffin at the local shop

Lovely stopover. Easily accessible and to find. We got eaten ALIVE by midges! We had all the gear but had to spend 2 hours inside the van.However, gorgeous breathtaking views, lovely little beach to explore and find dinosaur footprints. No services, few cars passing in the morning due to working harbour. We watched sunrise at630 before exploring the little beach and paddleboarding.Leave no trace.

Nice little spot. Busy during the day with cars. Anything over 7m is going to struggle here. The harbour is busy with fishermen parked and there is a definite strong smell of fishing harbour down there. This spot is much better.

A little more sheltered than the harbour car park at the end of the road, this is a very picturesque overnight stop. Plenty of space and facing east you get the sunrise! Go and find the dinosaur footprints on the beach! There is an hour long walk signposted just before the harbour car park as well. In the shade in the evening but the beach keeps the sun for much longer :-)

Great spot, amazing views. No signs saying no overnight parking. Quite a few other vans parked here and further down in main parking area so probably need to arrive early to get a space.

Camped by beach. Quite spot. Few tents. Beautiful stream going into river. Just round the corner from slipway.

Beautiful spot, right on the ocean. Few other campers, felt really safe. No wind when we stayed so lots of midges.

Accès pas difficile même avec notre camping-car, par contre nous avons eu une nuit remuante à cause du vent et d'une mer assez agitée, et très isolé en novembre. Sinon superbe endroit.

Tout a été dit !!! Superbe spot tranquille !!! accès pas plus difficile qu'un autre car c'est une route goudronnée !!! A refaire !!!

Endroit superbe, vue incroyable sur la mer. Pas mal de passage de van même à cette période mais lieu très calme donc pas gênant. Couverture réseau aléatoire. Encore une fois, merci de ramasser vos déchets il y en avait encore plein par terre...

Merci pour le lieu. Très joli coin. Passage un peu technique pour y arriver mais ça passe avec un camping-car de moyenne taille.
