Good spot, does the job. Lots of little walks through the woods. Forest ranger didn't mind I stayed a couple of nights.

Schön gelegener Wanderparkplatz. Laut Schild übernachten für einen Camper offiziell erlaubt.

Great little spot out of the way. we came late and there were a few people around so felt at ease. marking down a Star as there were no waste bins and we have a dog so had to take her mess with us.

Super ! Rien à dire ! Nous y avons passé une nuit avec d'autres vans/camping car et c'était parfait. L'endroit est très calme. C'est le point de départ de plusieurs randonnées, alors les marcheurs arrivent le matin, mais ce n'est pas gênant du tout ! Il faut simplement laisser le lieu propre et repartir avec ses déchets. Vraiment un spot royal en van !

Quiet at night (except the wind blowing the trees around and rainwater falling from the trees onto the roof). There was no one else here except us, until around 8am when cars of walkers started appearing. 2bar 4G signal on Vodafone and O2.

Parked here before we started the west highland way. Area gets a bit muddy and still quite busy at this time of the year (5 other campers). Very safe and peaceful though! Take your rubbish with you, also when you have no facilities don't leave toilet paper lying around. Thanks!

Stayed here last night with two other campers. Quite a few late night/early walkers (in the dark) but other than that a good little spot. Quite muddy as was raining pretty heavy. Trees give some protection but not much (we have a tentbox). Fixed sign says you can have a campfire as long as you are responsible but then a different sign said not. Would recommend it for a one night stay.

Really lovely spot in the woods, enough for about 4 vans. Great for a quiet park up

Lovely spot to park up for the night. Was beautiful and really quiet. Was a bit muddy when we visited but nothing too bad. Absolutely lovely little spot for looking at the stars. Would highly recommend this if you're up that way.

Perfect spot! Clean & quiet, hidden in the trees, with lots of nice walks around. There is a notice allowing permission 6pm - 10am until 31st Oct (it is a trial to see if it works)

Forestry and Land Scotland parking area who are trialing MH stopovers. Arrive after 6pm and be off by 10am. Nice walks in the woods. No services or facilities so need to be self contained and respectful. Perfect for wild camping motorhomers.

Very quiet during the night, there were another 4 campers but did not bother us at all. Clean and beautiful. Gets very busy in the morning with hikers and dog walkers but we've enjoyed much. No bins nor toilets so make sure you take your rubish with you Highly recommend this car park

Nice carpark. Very quiet. No facilities. There is a sign that says you are allowed to stay for one night only as part of a trial run.

Peaceful. Quiet. Just a few dog walkers in the evening. Another Scotland Forestry ‘stay for the night’ site. Thanks guys!

Great spot. Sign up saying they welcome overnight stays for one night only. One other camper there when we stayed. Some nice walks. Loads of birds chirping. Lovely.

Lovely spot in a wooded car park with great walks! Lovely and quiet, mainly walkers. Nice and quiet at night. A couple of spots for vans. Really enjoyed our stay here for the night!

Lovely spot, very nice woodland area, quite at night, only had one other camper an stay in the car park that night, there were a lot of dog walkers and hikers in the morning, all very friendly whilst passing, would stay here again

Lovely spot, wasn’t very busy on a Thursday night but got quite busy in the morning with walkers. Nice and flat

Nice, quiet, clean & flat car park okay for an overnight stay. Lots of cars & walkers around until dark as West Highland Way goes through this car park, all friendly. Shared with 4 other camper vans overnight. Nice walks straight onto the WHW and views over the Loch. 4G signal okay. Small clearing by car park where we set up a gas stove to make breakfast.

Stayed here on a Saturday night, quite a few people already parked up when we arrived around 8pm. We left early-ish Sunday morning to make space for walkers and to continue our journey further North. Nice quiet sheltered spot.

Great location with lovely walking with views of the loch nearby. the carpark is reasonably small so could get busy in the summer. Popular with dog walkers and hikers but we couldn't hear a thing, lovely.

Great parking for assisting the wife on West Highland Way , overnight stay allowed in self contained vans / campers at no charge . Unfortunately doesn’t suit all the locals but part of the forestry scheme to allow overnight stays which is much appreciated

Nos gusto mucho, es muy plano y tiene unas vistas bonitas. ademas salen un par de senderos muy agradables. es un espacio amplio, dormimos con otras 3 autocaravanas/campers.

Peaceful night sleep. Part of the Forestry commission overnight camping trial. Lovely walk in the woods and views of the Loch. Small village shop just down the road as well

An sich ein sehr schöner Platz, der gut zu erreichen ist, aber es waren selbst nachts um 12 Uhr, 2 Uhr und 4 Uhr Spaziergänger hier, natürlich sind alle mit ihren Autos hergefahren. Sprich viel geschlafen habe ich nicht... Ab 7 Uhr morgens sind dann alle paar Minuten Spaziergänger angekommen.

Perfect for the night. Quiet at night, some hikers and dog walkers in the evening. No midges, no bins. Rubbish lying around - didn't know that there are still people who eat at McDonald's. These ones definitely fulfilled all clichés. :P

Lieu calme pour passer la nuit. Endroit prisé par les campeurs et les randonneurs, donc quelques mouvements de véhicules, mais c'est un parking donc c'est fait pour ça (!), et les personnes que vous croiserez sont là dans le même état d'esprit que vous, donc pas de souci ! L'accès est cependant étroit pour les gros camping cars. Sans problème pour les vans.

Nice spot, flat ground. No noise and and phone signal, what more could you ask for. Few dog walkers and campers. Road getting there is a little rough and narrow, but A class van found it no problems so not all bad.

Great spot. Very peaceful, but was fairly “busy” while we were there. Two other campervans and 2 campers too, as well as dog walkers and people doing the west highland way, which passes right through this carpark.

Très calme. Possibilité de balade en forêt juste à côté dont certaines parties avec vue sur le lac. Nickel.

Lieu très sympa et nature. Certainement très calme en temps normal malheureusement lors de la nuit passée sur place nous avons été réveillés à 4h du matin par un énorme rassemblement de véhicules (environ une quinzaine de véhicules !) dont les occupants ont oublié qu'ils n'étaient pas seuls. Cette perturbation n'a duré qu'une heure heureusement.

Lieu en pleine nature. Extrêmement calme. Le matin quelques randonneurs. Le jour où nous avons dormi, aucun midge. À conseiller.

El lugar en sí está bien situado y tranquilo pero hay muchos mosquitos (midges) y son bastante molestos// The place itself is great, however it has loads of midges and they're very annoying.
