what an excellent service as it is a bit of a nightmare to get cassette toilet emptied. we see so many self contained motorhomes that Scotland/ Uk should be a bit more accomodating. We are sooo lucky in New Zealand to not have that problem. Thank you very much for making this possible
Présence de midges +++ au coucher du soleil et au lever. Parking sans grand intérêt mais pratique pour s’y arrêter une nuit.
Handy to have black water disposal in the area! Didn’t stay here but stayed at a free spot further out the way for many days on our last trip to Scotland. Loch is stunning and there’s some good stargazing here!
Now part of Motorhome overnight parking scheme, need to buy 2x £4 tickets to stay overnight. Drove on few hundred metres to free lay-by overlooking the Loch.
No overnight parking sign now in place.
Chemical disposal is super handy. Cafe staff super lovely. Had a nice breakfast in the morning and some lovely walks.
Fab flat site. Visitors centre,well priced cafe and toilets. Heads up,over zealous, not rude/ not very friendly forestry employee arrived 9.45am checking tickets & waited until after 10am to see if left or not. Don't park longways along the Loch side, she mentioned that as a no no. we moved 30 secs onto a lay by & walked back for breakfast/loos
As everyone has said it’s £6, payable by the machine or in the cafe. Some road noise. Great views of the lake.
Good spot, as expected busy during the day, loads of room. Has toilet emptying point, water tap at visitors centre. Had afternoon tea at visitor centre which was excellent. Only the occasional traffic on nearby road.
A nice, level car park with a beautiful big Loch and nice walks. Free toilets outside the cafe, I think they shut when the cafe does. We were treated to a beautiful sunset over the Loch. There were midges at dusk but they weren't too bad.
Lovely spot with great views, but the midges were very bad. The only downside of our stay.
Fantastic views and great food in the visitors center. Toilets during open hours and a chemical toilet emptying point. No height restrictions and £6 for the night. Felt very safe. Midges. Never experienced midges as bad as this anywhere in Scotland before! Absolutely swarmed the van. To be fair the staff were shocked too, apparently never usually this bad. Had to move on very early hence 3*
Lovely view, excellent cafe and facilities (chemical waste disposal and toilet block (we are self contained so didn’t need) but we got absolutely attacked by midges (constantly topped up midge repellant, used citronella and incense and had a bug zapper light.. still covered in midges and bitten terribly!
Excellent spot to park overnight for £6!! Only downside is you have to pay in coins ….. beware of the midgies
We didn't used the site for the night, but Elsan emptying Station is very convenient
Great idea - having these Forestry Sites. Now up and running so need to buy 2 x £3.00 tickets after 6pm and leave by 10.00. 6 vans total. Overlooking the lake. Road reasonably busy, but little traffic overnight. Very friendly in cafe with good simple food. Is a Dark Sky Park, although cloud meant we saw nothing. Nice bike ride a mile down the road.
Motorhomes can park overnight here at a cost of £6, you need to buy 2 day tickets after 6pm until 10am the next morning. We have a 7.4m motorhome parked for 1 night no probs 2 other MH along side us, only a slight noise from the road and quiet after 9pm. Nice view of the lake, elsan point in the car park there is no water here.
Brilliant facility! Didn't stay here as signs say no overnight parking. But chemical toilet disposal and fresh water tap are still open despite end of the overnight parking trial (and covid-19 lockdown). Toilet block is closed. Great view across the lake
Arrived at midnight on a Friday, car park full so parked in the coach area and left pretty early. No issues and beautiful view to wake up to to!
Lovely spot by the Loch. Only services available at night is chemical WC emptying. Price is still £3 per day at moment. If you stay past 10a.m. you have to pay the parking charge again. Road noise from 6a.m. About 6 vans were there the night we stayed.
Very pretty location. just a shame they didn't put a drinking water tap in the carpark. Sadly a few campers had chairs etc out (camping behavioir) and I hope that doesn't damage the forestry commission trial.
Beautiful spot by the lake, however downsides are also directly next to main road and traffic passing at 50mph from 6am, and toilets are closed at 4pm. There is water and chemical toilet facilities though. It’s was busy with campers (about 9 overnight )
Free parking between 6pm-10am! Lovely view of the loch. Chemical waste disposal on site. Very nice, easy stay, half way up to Ben Nevis for us. Only negative is passing traffic on road that’s very close.
What a beautiful little spot. They are doing a trial for campers and motorhomes so its free for August. has a lovley view over the loch. there is fresh water and chemical disposal. toilets are locked after 4pm though. really quite. There are spaces for about 10-15 vans and about 9 vans at the moment.
Free overnight parking, Arrived late in the evening to get a view of the night sky, we thought it was cloudy but got a really good view. There was already 4 Van's parked up and it was a quiet night stop over before moving on. Wish we had known about the dreaded Midges as they became quote bad, then awoke to loads in the camper, 48hes later realised we had been bitten alive
Stayed here for our 1st night in Scotland, we arrived late evening and there was already 3/4 campervan there and a few cars arrived to take photos but was a quiet night spot. Lovely spot but wish we knew about the dreaded midges that seemed to be bad late on and early morning, we ended up being eaten alive(be warned and take repellent). Toilet block open during cafe opening times
Nice spot by the Loch. Popular during the day and at night with motorhomes. Nice cafe right beside. Wonderful dark sky for stargazing. Water tap by toilets a short walk from the parking. Toilets closed at night. Great stopover - thanks Forestry Scotland.
