Parking du point de vue du Bealach Na Ba. Superbe vue sur les montagnes, en pleine nature. Grands emplacements de chaque côté. Route très étroite et escarpée pour arriver tout en haut. Nous y avons passé une nuit très calme, avec d'autres camping-cars.

Parking from the point of view of Bealach Na Ba. Superb view of the mountains, surrounded by nature. Great locations on each side. Very narrow and steep road to arrive at the top! We spent a very quiet night there, with other motorhomes.

Parken vom Aussichtspunkt Bealach Na Ba. Herrliche Aussicht auf die Berge, umgeben von Natur. Große Stellplätze auf jeder Seite. Sehr schmale und steile Straße, um nach oben zu gelangen. Wir haben dort mit anderen Wohnmobilen eine sehr ruhige Nacht verbracht.

Parcheggio dal punto di vista di Bealach Na Ba. Splendida vista sulle montagne, circondata dalla natura. Grandi posizioni su ogni lato. Strada molto stretta e ripida per arrivare in cima. Abbiamo passato una notte molto tranquilla lì, con altri camper.

    Leider auf dem Campingplatz keinen Stellplatz mehr bekommen, dafür durften wir auf dem bis jetzt schönsten Stellplatz auf unserer Reise übernachten. Abends angekommen im dichten Nebel umgeben von Rotwild. Am Morgen wurden wir dann mit einer wundervollen Aussicht belohnt!

    Toller Platz! Einige Camper, die hier übernachten aber es war sehr ruhig und alle nett. Tolle Aussicht mit super schönem Sonnenuntergang.

  • 5/5

    Sehr schöner Platz mit grandioser Aussicht. Um Mitternacht gabs leider Besuch von betrunkenen Jugendlichen, welche die Camper versuchten zu provozieren. Kommen aber sicher gerne wieder.

    Het is hier erg druk met dagjesmensen. S avonds werd het stil en liepen de herten rondom onze bus. Heel bijzonder

  • 5/5

    we had a peaceful night here, although the weather wasn't the best for August... Great views and a good walk upto the communications tower where the view just got better

  • 5/5

    Lovely views with the sun going down a fair crawl up to the top from the Lochcarron side, but we’ll worth it

    La carretera es una locura, si eres un conductor que sufre de vértigo, no vengas. Es de un solo carril y además hay que hacer maniobras en los puntos de paso, y todo esto mientras subes o bajas y ves el precipicio. Y además pasan muchos coches. Es la única carretera que atraviesa la península como dicen los carteles. Por lo demás las vistas son muy bonitas y es tranquilo.

    Amazing spot we parked up and had the spot to ourselves it's about 4c cooler then sea level! We watched the northern lights dancing too!!

    One of the best stops in scotland when the weather is nice and there is no wind. Nice Ranger came on the evening to ask if everything is alright and if we had a toilet on Board, don’t know if Campers with no toilets would ne allowed. Deer came on the evening, wonderful views.

    stopped here for a quick tea break, we had planned on staying here the night but the cloud came in with rain and wind so decided to carefully descend back down. I can imagine it being an amazing park up during clear days and nights, the area is large enough for quite a few campers, and you're able to have a level parking place if early

    Great spot with incredible views! Saw lots of deer too! There where 3 other vans there, but plenty of space and some on the opposite side of the road too. Would stay here again.

  • 5/5

    Ontzettend mooi uitzicht als het niet mistig is. We stonden er met 2 voertuigen. Vlak voor zonsondergang 3 hertjes kunnen spotten! Het kan snachts wel koud worden.

    Schöner Platz für eine Nacht. Sehr sauber hier. Man kann das Wild beobachten und hat eine tolle Aussicht.

    There are a number of campers using the viewpoint car park as a toilet and fires which is anti social and risks wildfires. This is likely to get the council to bring in no overnight parking enforcement .

    Sehr ruhiger und ebener Schlafplatz, perfekt für eine Nacht.

    Wonderful views on arrival. Lots of flat ground as we were the only ones that stayed. Saw a couple of red deer which we enjoyed, but had only intermittent 4G with O2. Surprised no other review mentions, but as this spot is at an altitude of 626m, the weather is much colder than down lower and we woke to clouds, no views. Think we might’ve been happier at one of the gorgeous spots before Applecross

    Great location to spend the night if the weather is good. Peaceful once the bikers are gone. No facilities so wild camping only.

  • 5/5

    Perfect quietly night and great 4G connection.

  • 4/5

    Great spot, amazing views, level, spacious, good phone signal but very windy as so exposed.

  • 3/5

    Could be lovely, 4G excellent, we got level and then... 25mph winds!!! Thought we were going to take off, our van was rocking so much but had nothing to do with us inside!! we attempted to leave at 3am but both roads up and down felt nothing short of treacherous in the dark and fog! I would stay again but check the weather before you do! Applecross pass was okay (6.1m) but glad we did it early

  • 4/5

    Quiet night spent here. Can find level easily. No amenities at all. Keep an eye out for the Red Deer as we saw some.

  • 5/5

    4G! Does make me laugh the random places you get signal in Scotland. Pretty much every space on both sides taken. Lots of vans, some motorhomes. It is on the famous Bealach na ba which is not accessible to motorhomes, its a challenging single track drive with a weight limit and extremely steep hairpin bends. Motorhomes MUST follow the alternative route on the nc500 (for the safety of others too!)

  • 5/5

    Great spot, even in the rain. Quiet and peaceful even with 4-5 vans in the car park. The road up from the East was not a big deal in a 6m campervan, plenty of passing places and not really any "scary" bits.

  • 5/5

    Perfect spot to stay overnight. The views were breathtaking . Even found time to have spaghetti bolognese tea outside watching the sunset. The road up is not to be underestimated, but the rewards are worth it

  • 5/5

    Amazing view, flat carpark. Parked on a Wednesday and were the only ones here.

  • 5/5

    fabulous views on a clear day! Helpful map illustrates all the peaks and islands. Very exposed.

  • 5/5

    A local man asked us politely to move off the grass which he said could invite a fine. Lovely spot but very exposed

  • 4/5

    Fantastic views over to Skye, quiet at night

  • 5/5

    Amazing flat location. Views from this spot are insane. Few local deer to keep you company. If you enjoy driving then the road up to this viewpoint and down into Applecross are very fun to drive.

    Un pur bonheur. Certes pas un bonheur de monter en journée, mais les paysages sont grandioses et la vue en haut à couper le souffle. En plus c’est la route la plus haute d’ecosse et il s’agit du point le plus haut d’ecosse. Il y a certes beaucoup de vent mais faire pipi le dos au vent est une expérience unique. (Vous aurez compris pas de toilettes).

    Die Aussicht ist atemberaubend. Der Weg hoch zum Sendemast lohnt sich in jedem Fall. Die Aussicht dort oben ist phänomenal. Wir sind gegen 16 Uhr hoch gefahren von Applecross aus und am nächsten Morgen um 11 Uhr auf der anderen Seite runter. Länge 6,50m kein Problem. Es fahren 10 Meter lange LKW auf der Straße und die schaffen es auch.

    I can’t really believe the previous comment... to clarify things, it’s one of the best place we ever visited so far, the road to come here is just amazing, we have seen 3 groups of hinds in 20 minutes just before us. It’s wild ! As we like ! And Rocky Mountains with grass as well <3 the spot itself has a view over mountains and water :) we were alone on a Friday night. Enjoy !

    Unica parada en una porqueriza de carretera de 18 millas, peligrosisima y nada señalizada, con un solo carril, por lo que hay que ir cediendo el paso constantemente, apartandose a arcenes peligrosisimos, sin vallado y con barrancos a ambos lados. Totalmente desaconsejable con AC. El final de la carretera es un pueblo pequeño de 4 casas donde solo se puede pernoctar en el camping, si no llueve, porque es de cesped y si llueve las AC no pueden quedarse. FATAL!

    Wir hatten bei wunderschönem Wetter eine gewaltige Aussicht.

  • 5/5

    Accès possible avec un camping-car de 7,4 m, mais je conseillerai de faire cette route magnifique tard en soirée d'un côté, de passer la nuit sous les étoiles au sommet, et de descendre l'autre côté tôt le matin, pour limiter les croisements sur cette route étroite, qui doivent vite devenir éprouvants en haute saison touristique
