    Amazing views and only £10 which goes to the up keep of the park up. Great pub just 5 minutes walk away. Would use again.

  • 5/5

    A great spot with a lovely view. There is a nice pub serving food within walking distance. The price is £10 via an honesty box at the entrance. A friendly and helpful gentleman came around in the morning to check everyone had paid. Thank you to the community for providing such a nice park up.

  • 5/5

    spot super sympa au calme, juste à côté de la distillerie Talisker. relativement à l'abri du vent. très belle vue, toilette et douche à proximité et possibilité de faire le plein d'eau. 10 livres la nuit, via PayPal ou dans la boîte à dons.

  • 5/5

    excellent spot. payed 10 in the honesty box. amazing views. lovely local community. Great pub nearby. Used the shower up by the distillery carpark (next to the coffee shop). loved it!

  • 5/5

    Amazing spot, paid £10 on the app. Locals who run it all come by in the morning, all lovely to chat to! Toilets and showers local (contactless for toilets coins needed for shower) right next to the distillery so great for a tour! Says max 5 campers however out of season (checked with the guys running it) and we’re happy for more as people moved on quickly. Would stay again!!

  • 5/5

    Excellent - very easy. I paid the £10 via PayPal - perfect for whisky tour, evening in the pub and stunning views - please support this as can only work if people use it.

  • 5/5

    Amazing spot. Showers and toilets nearby. £.50p for toilet entry. £1/2 min shower. Hot water. The Old Inn is incredible. PLEASE pay honesty fee. Locals came around and collected in the morning. Enjoy a chat with them if you get the chance.

  • 5/5

    Please be HONEST folks! Pay the very reasonable £10 and don’t steal from the community who run this place. Had a wonderful stay here. Quiet, flat, decent toilets/shower down the road, water tap £1, distillery, pub, cafe!Talked to one of the friendly locals who help manage this. There are plans to expand the facilities to black waste etc but we need to pay for what’s currently provided first!

  • 4/5

    Great view and not busy in the winter months

  • 5/5

    Great spot with awesome views! Short walk to showers which are 1 pound for 2 minutes and a short walk to the Old Inn which had great food and live music.

  • 5/5

    Super Spot! Sauber und ordentlich, wird täglich mehrmals kontrolliert. Haben hier 2 Nächte gestanden. Sehr gut, um eine Destillerie-Tour zu machen. Sehr ruhig und windstill. Tolle Aussicht!

  • 5/5

    We arrived at 10am wanting to stay the day and night in our campervan. The pricing is quite confusing and asked one of the staff members. He confirmed it would be £10 and asked us to put the money in the donation box. The view is amazing and it’s very quiet all day and night. There are also paid toilets and showers a 5 minute walk away in the village.

  • 5/5

    Betalen in de honesty box. Mooie plek dichtbij Talisker. Daardoor een goeie plek om na een Wiskey proeverij te blijven slapen. Wij hadden heel mooi weer en hebben ‘s ochtends zelfs gezwommen in het water.

  • 4/5

    Decent little park up for the night. Facilities are really well maintained at the coffee shop near the loos is the best I’ve had on Skye. Water can be filled at the end of the pier for £1 but you cannot park in that spot. It’s wide enough to turn large van easily and hose already attached to filling station. Good phone reception and good spot for a morning swim too. The Old Inn pub does fantastic food (Chowder by far the most delicious) has a great vibe and live music

  • 5/5

    On 13/9 the very clear signs were in place at 4pm saying 5 campers only - sorry full tonight. Some campers either have great difficulty in reading or counting. This facility that local volunteers have provided gets regularly abused with over crowding & non payment which spoil it for the honest campers who come to enjoy the facility. Please adhere to the rules.

  • 4/5

    nous y avons passé plusieurs nuits lors de notre séjour sur Skye. c est la tranquillité assurée.. ne pas oublier de payer 10 £ dans la honnesty box. tout cela est bien surveillé. très sympa comme lieu, il est aussi possible de pecher depuis le ponton, les maquereaux sont souvent présents.

  • 4/5

    Got the last spot at 6pm. The guy let 1 or 2 campers stay after us but kicked out the other ones who tried… he is well verifying the payement. Great place but he started to mow the lawn at 8:30am, 2m from the campers… toilets and shower near distillery : you need to pay 50p by card to enter the block, and then shower at 1£ for 2min

  • 5/5

    Toller Platz, vielen Dank an die Freiwilligen, die das Angebot möglich machen. Man steht dort wunderbar ruhig. Morgens kommt ein freundlicher Mensch zum Kontrollieren. Das “Old Inn” im Ort ist sowohl für Dinner als auch Breakfast sehr zu empfehlen.

  • 4/5

    super Platz! direkt am Wasser und prima zum Makrelenfischen. 5 min entfernt sind Toiletten und Duschen jedoch zum Bezahlen und nicht sehr gepflegt - in der Dusche war der Abfluss verstopft sodass nach kürzester Zeit alles im Duschbereich unter Wasser stand. aber Aussicht und Standplatz toll

  • 5/5

    Perfekt! Toiletten und Dusche 2min zu Fuß - auch nicht anders als auf einem großen Platz! 1a

  • 4/5

    Would have been the perfect stop for us, had the weather been nice, or we had 4G (needed for work). Unfortunately due to neither we only stopped for lunch, but I wanted to rate it so others are aware of the lack of 4G - I am aware this is also a good thing for lots of people ☺️

  • 5/5

    Parking right on the waters edge. Only allow 5 motorhome a per night, and then they close the car park. On the night we stayed, the car park was full but each van left one space between, so there was plenty of room around the van. Peaceful at night. Short walk into the village, to the pub, Talisker distillery, shop and toilet block. Oyster Shack, up the road, is a must too.

  • 3/5

    Nous n'avons pas pu dormir par manque de place. L'eau se situe sur la plateforme d'accostage des bateaux à environ 150m du parking. C'est un distributeur d'eau à pièce, il faut prévoir des pièces de 1 et 2 £. Nous avons eu besoin de 3£ pour remplir un peu moins de 100l.

  • 5/5

    Très joli petit spot près d’une jetée. Il ne faut juste pas être le 6e à arriver car seuls 5 fourgons/camping car autorisés. Arrivés à 17:30 nous avons pris la dernière place. Midges le matin par temps brumeux. Tristes d’avoir ratés la bicoque à huîtres qui fermait à 17h. Eau sur demande.

  • 5/5

    Great place for 5 motohomes/vans, enforced. Short walk to a restaurant/pub with fantastic atmosphere. Toilets/showers close for a small fee. Didn’t find fresh water though as some others mention…

  • 4/5

    Beau spot au bord de la mer, tout au bout du village de Carbost. Parking pour 5 van maximum. tarif 10 livres. Une personne passe au van vous réclamer la somme en liquide. Il y a de l'eau au bout du parking, les WC et douches face à la distillerie sont payant. Beaucoup de vent, mais pas de Midgies

  • 5/5

    Très agréable port et très tranquille. Nous avons pu pêcher sur le ponton. A recommander

  • 5/5

    Ein so schöner Übernachtungsplatz! Toller Blick, nette Menschen. Zufahrt über Single-Track-Road, ging aber auch mit unserem 7,90 Womo gut. Achtet auf die Begrenzung von 5 Campern, damit der Platz zur Übernachtung erhalten bleibt.

  • 5/5

    What a great little stop over..... Great views, fresh water, pub up the road with great atmosphere and food. Gentleman came round to collect money as he was emptying the honesty box. We honesty didn't know when to put money in so was more than happy to pass our money directly to him. We need more places like this especially as there is a toilet and shower facilities just 2 minutes walk.

  • 4/5

    Très bel endroit, calme et vues magnifiques sur le loch Harport et les montagnes environnantes. (10£/24H) à remettre dans une boîte située à l'extrémité du ponton flottant où à la sympathique personne qui surveille. Pub à proximité avec table extérieure surplombant le loch. possibilité de s'approvisionner en eau (1£/50L). Dommage qu'il ne soit pas possible d'évacuer les eaux grises et noires.

  • 5/5

    Sehr schöner Platz, die 10£ wurden von einem freundlichen Mann eingesammelt. Platz für 5 Camper. Wasser gibt's gegen Bezahlung. Direkt am Platz sind keine Duschen oder Toiletten. Dafür sind öffentliche Einrichtungen in 5 min Fußmarsch zu erreichen. Direkt gegen über von Talisker. Toilette 0,30£ Dusche 2£

  • 5/5

    Fabulous spot with stunning views, and ample space for multiple vans. Very close to nice shower facilities (contactless) and The Old Inn, which has a stunning terrace looking onto the loch. Pub had the best chowder I’ve ever had, and great atmosphere with live music - didn’t want to leave! Had to rush off early but would come back for the seafood hut and Distillery.

  • 5/5

    Sehr schöner Platz direkt am Wasser, alles wie beschrieben. Freundlicher Empfang durch den Besitzer. Er kommt regelmäßig vorbei, um die Ehrlichkeitsbox am Eingang zum Parkplatz zu leeren. Wer nicht bezahlt hat wird freundlich dazu eingeladen.

  • 5/5

    Super Platz für 5 Wohnmobile. Betreiber kam Nachmittags/Abends vorbei um die Ehrlichkeitsbox zu leeren. Sehr netter Mensch. Auch bei uns haben mehr als 5 Camper versucht, diese wurden dann aber weggeschickt.

  • 5/5

    A great friendly facility, what a find. Only allowed 5 vans. Signs reads Sorry we are full, shame it gets abused & people ignore sign. Shame if we loose this lovely peaceful setting.

  • 1/5

    Mur für fünf Fahrzeuge. Wir wurden nach dem wir bereits 4 Stunden dort standen gegen 22:30 vom Platz gebeten.

  • 3/5

    Plek met een fijne parkeerplaats waar je vlak staat. Prijs wel wat hoog, op terein zelf geen voorzieningen. Let op: Mogen max 5 campers staan, ben je de 6e wordt je weg gestuurd. Eigenaar beetje bijzonder, maakt er echt zijn werk van om te zorgen dat iedereen betaald en je er niet met te veel staat. Op loopafstand toilet en douches tegen betaling. In het dorpje kan je evt. wat eten of afhalen.

  • 4/5

    Nice place, close to distillery (5 min walk), 10 min walk to an nice oyster bar. Good view on the loch, Just 10 pounds a night in the honesty box or collectedby a friendly man with a Brown envelope...

  • 5/5

    Vue magnifique, le parking est au calme, au bout du village. Carbhost est un petit village très sympa, le Old Inn propose de bons petits plats, et quelle ambiance. Nuit sous la pluie et le vent mais quelle vue au réveil !

  • 1/5

    Not open all year! We just got there (March) and it was closed for the winter

  • 4/5

    Stayed for one night. Initially a local walking their dog told us it wasn't a campsite - however when we got ready to go a gentleman showed up with a brown envelope and told us we could stay for ten pounds a night, put into the honesty box. We stayed the night without issue after that and it was a lovely view. Didn't get a chance to use the toilets but looked like they were contactless.

  • 4/5

    Stayed there last night, no facilities but only a short walk to local toilets and a ho5 shower £1 for 2 mins. Honesty box is being abused. The other van took off without paying a tenner, which is nor clever and unhelpful when volunteers have made an effort to create a decent stopover with a morning view to die for. Please pay if you stay.

  • 4/5

    Es war super stürmisch daher mussten wir wieder fahren. Ansicht wirkt der Platz total in Ordnung. 10 Pfund pro Auto etwas viel Geld ohne Mülleimer/Klo/Bezahltes Wasser. Idee der Ehrlichkeitsbox aber ein gutes Konzept.

  • 3/5

    NO water (which you pay for) is available as it is shut off for the winter already. (8 November). So £10 just to park seems expensive. However maybe in the summer this is acceptable?

  • 5/5

    Hatten eine ruhige Nacht. Es scheint wirklich inzwischen erlaubt zu sein - haben alle bestätigt, die wir in Carbost gefragt haben. 4G vorhanden, keine Toiletten direkt am Pier, aber im Ort. Sehr sauber!

  • 5/5

    please dont take any notice of no parking signs. the local pier committee have just authorised the parking and are in the process of replacing the signs to welcome campers .i know this to be correct as i contacted the pier committee chairman and they are supporting this new venture

  • 1/5

    Überall Schilder "No Overnight Parking!"

  • 1/5

    Very confused. signs everywhere saying No Overnight Camping. Honesty box is for mooring a boat not camping in a van.....
