  • 5/5

    One of the best park ups in the area. No signs preventing overnight stays. Ground can become soft towards the edges. No bins or facilities. Good 4g. Would recommend.

  • 5/5

    Très calme et sans interdiction. Beaucoup de cerfs à côté en ce moment.

  • 5/5

    Super Stellplatz direkt am flachen Fluss. Sehr ruhig. Hat uns super gefallen

  • 4/5

    Toller Platz, idyllisch am Wasser gelegen. Sehe ruhig. Vorsicht, es lag viel Toilettenpapier (und dazugehörendes..) herum.

  • 2/5

    Beautiful but fuuuulll of midges! Close you van directly! 7 motorhome/ van / car mid-may 2023. Very close to the Harry potter's train

  • 3/5

    Endroit stratégique pour arriver tôt au viaduc ! Place pour 5 véhicules si on est bien garé .

  • 5/5

    Endroits, plat très calme loin de la route principale, facile d'accès

  • 4/5

    Great spot, a bit muddy when staying after rains.

  • 3/5

    Bei schlechtem Wetter nicht zu empfehlen. Viel Verkehr und die Aussicht mäßig. Aber Ausgang zu einer netten Wanderung. Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass es bei gutem Wetter und weniger Matsch ganz nett ist.

  • 5/5

    Super Platz. Natürlich ist das Symbol falsch...es ist kein Gebühren pflichtiger Parkplatz. Platz mit Parzellen aufgeteilt und sehr schön. Direkt am Bach. Nur drauf achten unten auf dem Platz zu parken! Nicht oben auf der straße. Da kommen wald arbeiten mit großen Maschinen nicht durch und wecken dich morgens

  • 5/5

    lovely spot by river just off of the road that takes you to the viaduct about 3 to 5 minutes drive away and lovely spot for a bit of fishing

  • 4/5

    bon emplacement dans la nature mais sur un sol plat et stable. beaucoup de moucherons mais juste à côté de la rivière.

  • 3/5

    A nice place to camp for the night close to the water. limited space if you come by caravan. but nice little areas to make a little bonfire and enjoy the evening. midgets around!

  • 5/5

    Nice and quiet place close to the river.

  • 5/5

    What a lovely spot this is, really peaceful.

  • 4/5

    Great spot. Beautiful. Quiet. But looots of midges.

  • 4/5

    superbe spot en bord de rivière. possibilité de faire un feu. 4-5 places sur le petit parking et sinon d'autres place le long du chemin juste au dessus.

  • 4/5

    Really nice place, calm, but lots of middges when we woke up

  • 5/5

    Great spot. Quiet and far enough from the main road. Space for 3-5 campers. But more space available a bit higher on the road. Very close to Glenfinnan. Just before entering the main road again there is a bin.

  • 5/5

    Nice, quiet spot, no complaints. Can get a little bit muddy as others have said. Also quite a few vehicles came through between dog walkers, kayakers, etc. But all were respectful.

  • 5/5

    Great location on the river and wonderful walks straight into the mountains. It is very muddy in places and a van was stuck when I arrived. The midges are about but not too bad so far.

  • 5/5

    Prachtige plek, heel rustig. Ik ben wel bang dat het binnenkort verboden wordt want het stond helemaal vol met campers. Zelfs langs de weg. Terwijl er gewoon grote vrachtwagens in en uit moeten kunnen rijden overdag. Wij stonden op een plekje vlak voor de borden, daar was precies ruimte voor 1 camper. Oja en mensen: leeg niet je toiletcassette in de bosjes, dit kan ECHT niet!

  • 4/5

    Ein sehr schöner und ruhiger Platz. Leider können wir uns nicht im Auto aufhalten daher haben uns die Mücken wirklich sehr genervt und mussten sehr früh abreisen

  • 5/5

    Fantastic quiet little spot. Just off the main road and a 3 minute drive from Glenfinnan Viaduct. Loads of stags and Does. Room for maybe 3 or 4 campers. Signal a plenty.

  • 4/5

    Stayed in March 2022. Great little spot, very secluded. Path to Glenfinnan was closed unfortunately but a walk along the loch gave great (but distant views) of the viaduct. No bins. Joined by two campers.

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot, currently quite muddy (Jan 2022). Level and next to a river.

  • 5/5

    Easy journey from F.W. Quiet, sheltered spot. Firm ground. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5

    Lovely wee spot. Arrived when it was dark and it was easy enough to find. One other camper was parked there. Woke up to snow and a beautiful view of the forest and river. Very quiet as well.

  • 5/5

    Mooie rustige plek. Toen wij er stonden waren er nog twee andere campers.

  • 5/5

    Our first stop off on a west coast road trip in our campervan. Arrived 5pm and no one else here. Lovely riverside park up and very quiet. Gentle rain most of the evening, but the midges have gone now, so all good. Did a mini litter pick in the morning to remove a few bits of rubbish. Lovely spot.

  • 5/5

    Great little spot. No bins or facilities. But saw a great stag and was very quite us and another 7 other campers. Good 4g on o2

  • 4/5

    Good spot to get to Glenfinnan viaduct. Down by a shallow river. Not too much hassle in a MH but some potholes. We arrived fairly late but managed to get a spot, though a couple of people had to turn back.

  • 5/5

    Perfect little spot, off the road nice and quiet, plenty of room for around 8 campers and MHs. right by the river and not far from Hogwarts Bridge too. would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5

    Great free spot by the river. Room for around 5 campers. Peaceful night. We parked here before driving to the Glenfinnan visitor center parking (£6 for motorhomes) to see the viaduct as you cannot park overnight there. We followed the latitude and longitude directions as the postcode took us to the wrong place. No facilities but toilets at the visitor centre down the road open at 10am.

  • 5/5

    Nice little spot, in some woods well off the main road. Room for 2-3 campers in the lower parking area and a couple more in the upper area. Currently the footpath to the Glenfinnan Visitor Centre is closed due to bridge repairs.

  • 5/5

    Einer der ruhigsten Plätze auf unserer England/Schottland-Tour. Pferde-Besitzerin von der Farm daneben hat Gespräch gesucht und war sehr freundlich, hat unsere Kinder gleich an die Pferde auf der Koppel herangelassen. Wir waren in dieser Nacht die einzigen auf dem Platz. Grillen war möglich bis mit der Dämmerung die Stechmücken kamen. Optimaler Platz in der Nähe des Glennfinnan-Viadukts.

  • 5/5

    Our first time doing this but a fab little spot. No passing traffic there was 4 others also parked up. Just over a mile away to the viaduct.

  • 5/5

    A great spot, very quiet, but lots of midges (it is next to a river!). Beware, currently the track through the woods to the monument and viaduct viewpoint is closed where you cross the river due to a dangerous bridge!

  • 5/5

    Lovely night, plenty of game nearby too.

  • 5/5

    Great spot for the night if you want to do the viaduct. You can walk from here if you want to save on parking, there’s a trail all the way. Peaceful nights sleep, although we stayed here the night England lost the Euros final so not the happiest memories...

  • 5/5

    Stayed for one night, lovely and quiet buy the side of the river. Quite a few midges but to be expected. Nice walk down the lane to the viaduct off the main road.

  • 4/5

    Midgets. Located very very close to the viaduct view. Next morning We were bored waiting for the train until 10.45 am. There are some half hour walks nearby, but tbh the midgets were unbearable today.

  • 5/5

    Excellent and popular spot right by the river. Filled up early (6pm ish). Very quiet. Can walk the forest dirt track to the right to the Glenfinnan viaduct and Shiel loch. Much easier than trying to find a parking space in the main car park when crazy busy!

  • 4/5

    Lovely spot, easily accessible from the main road but far enough to be quiet. Easy cycle to Glenfinnan. - Very popular spot. No other campers stayed the night, but some local kids spent the evening there drinking etc., then took off leaving all their rubbish behind and their campfire unattended.

  • 5/5

    Agree with the remarks. The ‘what three word location’ is afterglow.stunt.novelist

  • 4/5

    Great spot by the river but very popular I was on my own for a while and then was surrounded! Great phone reception but nothing else so take rubbish home

  • 4/5

    Nice views of callop river. Quiet location, bit muddy in the rain. Great woodland walk close by. Would advise to get here early if your planning on camping as it gets very busy, we arrived just before 5pm and there was only 2 other vans. Woke up to 5 vans

  • 3/5

    Seemed a nice spot, but had about 5 vans there (in a space only comfortably suitable for 3) when we got there with not so quiet people so moved on.

  • 4/5

    Good spot for one night and if you need to find something quick as not far from main road but far enough not to hear. There were two other units but we felt private enough as on other side of lot. Surface was flat. Lovely walks nearby.

  • 5/5

    Very popular, there was 4 units here last night and another 3 in the road way. Lovely location next to river, very quiet. Evidence of camp fires. Cycle path all the way down the nearby Loch, with views of the aqueduct. Fairly flat.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful place to stay. Very quiet. Right by the river. Very popular when we were there with campers and tents. Some lovely walks and bike rides nearby.

  • 4/5

    Lovely spot to park up. lots of other campers around so felt very safe but obviously wasn't silent. Plenty of room and far enough off the road to relax. Very local to Glenfinnan Viaduct (Potter fans!) and as all the other local spots are closed, I was half expecting to not find a space. Thank you Glenfinnan.

  • 4/5

    Stayed here for the night brilliant little spot we parked down the little ramp next to river no noise great spot . Yes the midges are about but it is the west highlands

  • 4/5

    Unglaublich viele midges letzte nacht (10. aug 2020). man konnte die tür kaum öffnen und war sofort umschwärmt! achtung dass sie nicht ins fahrzeug kommen, sonst hat man einen kampf, dir wieder rauszubekommen!!! parkplatz war voll, wahrscheinlich grad hochsaison beim viaduct. haben uns gegenüber des parkplatzes in eine kleine bucht gestellt. super ruhig und angenehm.

  • 5/5

    Great location and very quiet overnight. The train on the viaduct passes at 10:30am and 15:00pm.

  • 5/5

    Endroit super calme, au bord de l'eau, il n'y avait personne d'autre en ce début du mois de janvier !

  • 5/5

    rustig plekje aan een riviertje.

  • 4/5

    Joli petit espace. Très calme durant la nuit, juste un autre Van a notre passage (14/11/2019). une poubelle a la sortie de la route, ce qui est un gros plus ! Il faisait trop froid pour profiter de l'extérieur a notre passage, mais nous avons vu des restes de feux de camps. Pour la visite du Viaduc, un petit café se trouve a quelques minutes à peine et permet d'avoir des toilettes !

  • 5/5

    Bliss. We had this space to ourselves. Lovely forest walk right at the parking spot.

  • 5/5

    Coin très sympa au bord d'une rivière. Plat, isolé de la route et à l'abri du vent. Nous étions 3 véhicules ce soir là. A deux pas de Glenfinnan.

  • 4/5

    Brilliant campsite with a running river. Plenty of space and away from main road. Lorry’s go past extremely early waking the whole campsite thus the campers were extremely unhappy but don’t let this put you off. Well worth the visit

  • 5/5

    There were 6 or 7 other cars and it was quiet full so come early. We didnt had that much midges (Not more than usually). The viaduct Is a must do on the next morning but be there early

  • 5/5

    Buen sitio para pasar la noche. Un poco concurrido ya que está muy bien situado para al día siguiente acercarse al viaducto. Muchos mosquitos cerca del río.

  • 5/5

    Super emplacement proche de glenfinnan.a l'écart de la route au bord d'une rivière.terrain plat pour au moins 4 gros CC

  • 3/5

    Schöne Platz, waren eine Nacht dort. Würde aber nicht mehr hin. Da der Platz ist einer Senke liegt, ist er sehr Windstille. das bedeutet gegen Abend so viele midges. Man konnte Abends und Morgens kein Fuß, aus dem Auto setzen ohne zerbissen zu werden.

  • 5/5

    Magnífico lugar a la orilla del río, pasamos una noche muy tranquila con otros 3 autocaravanas. La única pega los mosquitos... Sitio totalmente recomendable.

  • 5/5

    Bel endroit, à recommander, commentaire précédent parfait.

  • 4/5

    Good location but beware the midges...

  • 5/5

    Perfect spot nearby the Harry Potter Bridge (go there by bike is the most easiest way). Directly on a river, fits for around 5 - 6 camper vans.

  • 5/5

    Very quiet night. The little road next to it is used by lorries bringing timber, but they only start after 8am. Kids loved the stream next to it.

  • 4/5

    Très pratique pour être rapidement à Glenfinann. Nous avons eu la chance de voir des cerfs et d'entendre leurs brames pendant la nuit et au petit matin.

  • 4/5

    Great spot! Stayed here for one night and had two deer visitors

  • 5/5

    Endroit tres calme au bord d’une riviere

  • 4/5

    Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen! Viele Midges, aber ideal, um früh am Glenfinnan Viadukt zu sein. Zwischen 8 und 9 Uhr zum Visitor Center Parkplatz zu fahren, macht Sinn. Vom Stellplatz sind es nur 5 Minuten mit dem WoMo.

  • 5/5

    Great spot to stop for the night. 40min walk down to the Glenfinnan visitors center and jacobite memorial

  • 5/5

    Had the place to ourselves, absolutely perfect. Saw many deer, and a great walk for dogs directly from the van. A great night sleep! As good as it gets.

  • 5/5

    Nuit au calme. Ruisseau à côté. Facilement accessible. Parfait pour aller voir le viaduc le lendemain matin (4 mn en voiture). Début janvier.

  • 4/5

    Stayed Monday night. had the place to myself from 7pm to 7am. level area.

  • 4/5

    Accessible pour les plus de 7 m, petit coin bien tranquille, avec départ de randonnées, effectivement beaucoup de midges !
