    Looked like an amazing spot but concrete blocks and mud made entrance too tight for a Peugeot Boxer. Might have been doable in a drier season.

  • 4/5

    Beautiful spot. As last post says there are large concrete blocks at the entrance so LWB may struggle. Got a Vivaro through without issue. Easier to get the angle right to get through the blocks if you come down the track from the North. Bin on site & decent signal on EE. Plenty of other cars in the day but empties out around dusk. Ground is hard standing and flat. Plenty space for multiple vans

  • 1/5

    Beautiful spot but concrete blocks prevent access to all but very small campers. I couldn’t get my LWB through the gap :(

  • 5/5

    schöner ruhiger Platz, zwar direkt an der Straße, aber hier ist kaum etwas los, bis auf ein paar Schafe, außerdem toller Platz um mit dem Hund loszuziehen, aber morgens viele andere Spaziergänger mit (meist freilaufenden) hunden

  • 4/5

    Beaucoup de monde pour la nuit. Belle balade autour. Calme la nuit. Poubelles disponibles.

  • 5/5

    Perfect om de nacht door te brengen! Rustig, afgelegen en mooi.

  • 5/5

    Excellent stop over. Plenty of room for vans. Quiet with lovely views and walks close by. Used a lot by locals for meeting and dog walking. Would suggest max of three vans so as not to upset locals. Plenty of bins and mob signal okay. Site of Robert the Bruce first victory over the English!

  • 5/5

    stayed for one night, nice space and a good walk if you're traveling with a dog, only us when we arrived

  • 5/5

    Nous avons eu un très joli couché de soleil, spot vraiment sympa. Poubelle à disposition sur le lieu

  • 5/5

    great, peaceful wee spot, stunning views on a slightly muddy dog walk. Signal for O2 and Vodafone on one side of the carpark, north side very patchy. 2 bins, no other facilities and no litter around only occasional traffic passing, low continuous rumble of aircraft overhead in the day.

  • 4/5

    Secluded car park at the beginning of Loudon Hill hiking trail. Lovely scenery. Full signal on 3. Hike was very muddy in parts.

  • 5/5

    Great spot, flat land to park on, no charge, beautiful views, lovely walks and signal is good too for those who need it. Stayed over night and the sky was incredible, only a little light pollution so gorgeous for stargazing. I was the only van there at night and during the day just a few walkers parked up.

  • 5/5

    So glad we chose to stop here. absolutely perfect for over nights. the views and the walks are beautiful! we will be back again when we come to Scotland

  • 5/5

    Perfect little stopover! Quite and lovely walk up the Hill as well, bin on the car park for any rubbish.

  • 5/5

    Perfect place for a stopover. The walk up to the top of Louden Hill was a bonus and perfect place to take a dog if you have one. We had a very quiet night here and would thoroughly recommend. No services but we didn’t need any.

  • 4/5

    Schöner Platz, man kann eine kurze Wanderung zum Felsen machen. Bis späterer Abend kommen allerdings sehr viele Besucher und Wanderer die hier parken.

  • 5/5

    Sehr schöner Stellplatz/ Parkplatz. Sehr ruhig. Platz für ca 5 kleine Van/ Mobile.... Schöne Wanderung hoch zum Felsen . Aussichtspunkt.

  • 5/5

    Très belle endroit où nous passons notre dernière nuit en écosse, avant notre retour en France. Grand parking avec table de picnic dans le jardin derrière, avec vue sur le monument et sur un mont où il y est possible de faire une belle balade. Terrain plat , avec poubelles.

  • 5/5

    Spot très joli et très calme. Venteux, mais sans plus pour l’Ecosse !

    Stayed overnight in Moho on bonfire night. Local youths coming and going in cars and setting off fireworks. They did knock and ask if it was OK. All quiet by 10pm. Flat, open space with nice surroundings, bins, walks and quiet back roads for cycling. Popular with dog walkers. Within easy reach of main road. Good signal from Darvel.

    27/10/2021 very quiet at night and flat. some signal if you need it. came when the weather was awful so didn't get to appreciate the space properly but still had a good night sleep.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here overnight on 22/10/21. Lovely and quiet. Clean with plenty of bins. Great for an overnighter to the highlands.

  • 5/5

    Popular spot, with lovely views and walks

  • 5/5

    Lots of space for a few vans, quiet spot off a single track road. Busy with walkers and dog walkers but quiet at night. Great views of louden hill with walks. 2 bins . Great location

  • 4/5

    Quiet spot at night, on a single track road so little to no traffic whilst sleeping. Was quite easy for us to get level. Lots of dog walkers in the morning and throughout the day. Beautiful short walk to go on, lovely sunset at the top of the hill. Has a couple of bins too. Overall a lovely spot for a stop over

  • 3/5

    Nice walks and views ok for one night nothing great, cars pulling in and out all evening and night, slept ok

  • 3/5

    Lovely views and enjoyable walk up the craggy hill. Used by dog walkers and we did hear a car drive up late at night and stay for a short while, no idea what they were doing! Overall, nice for a stopover but wouldn't especially recommend

  • 5/5

    A quiet space to stop for the night with a pretty view.

  • 4/5

    Isolated spot on a ridge so can get interesting if the wind picks up. Car park mostly used by dog walkers. Pleasant nights sleep on this 'out of the way location.' Two bins, otherwise no services to speak off.

  • 4/5

    Stayed 1 night. really quiet and peaceful. not very level. dog walkers arrive in the morning but are respectful.

  • 5/5

    Excellent spot, 30 min driving to Glasgow city centre y well located to other amenities.

  • 5/5

    Absolutely stunning, so quiet and safe.

    Nuit tranquille et silencieuse, promeneurs le matin malgré la pluie. arrivés de nuit, très agréablement surpris par le paysage au réveil.

  • 5/5

    Sehr schöner Stellplatz mit toller Aussicht! Der „Spirit of Scotland“ ist zu sehen und auch zu spüren.

  • 5/5

    Wunderschöner Platz. An Morgen sind wir auf den Berg gewandert. Ca 1,5 Std hin und zurück.

  • 4/5

    Quelques voitures la nuit mais nuit calme et mieux avec le soleil le matin.

  • 4/5

    Super endroit au pied de la colline dont on ne voit pas la photo. Dommage car ce piton rocheux est bien sympathique.

  • 4/5

    Très bon endroit, au calme entouré de moutons. 3g. Balade sur Loudain Hill.
