Scottish Canals a créé 5 places de stationnement pour camping-cars à partir d'anciennes poignées d'écluses. La signalisation indique les modalités de paiement. Bel endroit pour une nuit ou deux, vous pouvez entendre un peu de bruit de la route mais c'est calme la nuit. Le célèbre Crinan Hotel est à environ 6,5 km à pied ou à vélo dans l'autre sens, toujours le long du chemin de halage du canal. De nombreuses belles promenades dans la région.
Scottish Canals have created 5 parking bays for motorhomes out of old lock gate handles. Signage gives details of how to pay.Nice spot for a night or two you can get some noise from the road but it’s quite at night. The famous Crinan Hotel is about a four mile walk or cycle in the other direction, again along the canal tow path.Lots of beautiful walks in the area.
Scottish Canals hat aus alten Schleusentorengriffen 5 Parkplätze für Wohnmobile geschaffen. Auf Schildern finden Sie Informationen zur Bezahlung. Ein schöner Platz für ein oder zwei Nächte. Man hört etwas Straßenlärm, aber nachts ist es ruhig. Das berühmte Crinan Hotel ist etwa 6,5 km zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad in die andere Richtung entfernt, wieder entlang des Treidelpfads des Kanals. In der Gegend gibt es viele schöne Spaziergänge.
Scottish Canals heeft 5 parkeerplaatsen voor campers gemaakt van oude sluisdeurhendels. Borden geven details over hoe te betalen. Leuke plek voor een nacht of twee, je kunt wat lawaai van de weg horen, maar 's nachts is het er rustig. Het beroemde Crinan Hotel ligt op ongeveer vier mijl lopen of fietsen in de andere richting, opnieuw langs het jaagpad van het kanaal. Veel mooie wandelingen in de omgeving.

It does say on payment invoice “Please only pay on arrival at site when you have parked in a designated bay. Refunds will not be offered for pre-booked stays which cannot be accommodated on arrival.” EE signal not great but what a beautiful park up. Thank you Scottish Canals
Tres beau spot nous étions inquiet pour le réseau téléphonique et pouvoir payer mais signal 5G avec opérateur Français super calme et belle initiative pour ces magnifiques canaux
Great location. £10. 1 night max. Pay via QR code. Prebooking doesn't guarantee reservation and no refund if full (stated in confirmation), so we just turned up and paid on arrival. Seems unfair as allows overbooking, unless that's changed. Have to be gone by 9am as parking only for cars in daytime. Seems a miss as coffee wagon opens after so misses trade from campers grabbing a morning coffee.
Great spot. 5g signal
Fantastic spot. Unfortunately no service on EE so not able to pay. Left The fines are huge in this area
heerlijke stop voor een nacht, de gevraagde 10 pond komt ten goede aan het onderhoud van het Canal dus niks mis mee. en de koffie van Polly, ook lekker.
Lovely place with beautiful views, great walk/cycle track and bird hide. Wild swimming available. We have stayed twice, once on the paid area and once on the free area, both were equally good
Sehr gepflegter ruhiger Übernachtungsplatz für eine Nacht möglich/10£ . Bezahlung funktioniert mit Scanner u. Kreditkarte. Die Lage am alten Kanal einfach traumhaft . Ein Stern Abzug wegen Midges am Abend. Von Donnerstag bis Sonntag steht hier Pollys Coffee Shop mit allerhand Leckereien. Leider waren wir am falschen Wochentag hier.
lovely and quiet spot, no facilities or tv signal but great for a stopover, scan QR code at sign. £10
What a perfect spot this is! Both the free park up and the £10 option are great. Needless to say would have rather stayed for free but unfortunately there were already two vans parked up so we went to the £10 alternative next door. Would have rather stayed next door for free but happy to pay a tenner for this fantastic setting.
Fab place to set up for the night
Der Platz ist aktuell kostenlos. Man kann hier super stehen. Direkt an den Schleusen des Kanals. Die Straße hört man kaum, zumal nachts kein Verkehr ist.
Lovely overnighter in hattie, very quiet, lots of flat places right next to the canal, no services so lev nowt behind, defo come back
Arrived here in April 2024 fantastic spot very quiet at night no restrictions for overnight parking ,plenty parking could accommodate five or six motorhomes , van selling tea and coffee snacks from nine till four , plenty picnic benches and your right beside canal fantastic walk along side the canal for 5 miles , one of the best spots we found in a long time .
A good free stopover location so long as you abide by the 5pm to 9am rule. Shared with 2 others Fri night in Sept. Room for maybe 6 depending on how parked. Some noise from canal gates overflowing as there had been significant rain. Road is quiet at night. Great walking along canal or other paths.
Great place to spend the night. A 20 minutes walk along the side of the canal took us to the Cairnbaan hotel for an excellent meal.
Emplacement parfait ! Nuit au calme avec seulement le bruit de l'eau du canal. Parking plat et assez large pour manoeuvrer.
Cairnbaan was a great wee spot. Plenty room for a few campervans, was full after 7pm and people going further up the road as could not get in. We tried Crinan as could not get into Lochguilphead and were happy we went there. The pictures were amazing here as the Crinan Canal waters were reflecting the sky and trees. Plenty picnic tables to relax at. Take midgie nets as are evil little monsters
Campers and Motorhomes can only park between 5pm and 9am rest of time is for cars and workers. Good parking spot for a night. Nice and peaceful a little road noise but nothing that would keep you awake. Looses a star as no bins. Lovely walk down the loch and looking at the boats and Good amount of picnic benches.
Très calme, au bord de l’écluse. Très peu de passage la nuit malgré la proximité de la route.
Not available at moment due to construction going on
Wäre schön gewesen, aber momentan ist eine Baustelle - Achtung!
Perfect for one night. Campers allowed 5pm to 9am. Only for cars over the day!
Great place, still free.
Daytime parking not permitted for motorhome or campers, but overnights allowed from 5pm to 9am. Currently free. Wonderful views over the canal and lock. Handy for walks and cycling. No bins but toilet available 10 minutes walk away.
Motorhome and Camper parking is now only permitted between the hours of 17:00 & 09:00. Currently overnight parking remains free but Scottish Canals plan to collect £10 per stay for which a receipt to display will be provided. A barrier and parking meter are planned to be installed at some point....it does feel like Scottish Canals have decided to cash in on popularity.
Fantastic spot. EE 4G is wobbly. Super quiet when I stayed.
If you have a fully stocked Moho/campervan this is a great place to spend a few nights. Its on the main route to Crinan but the road isn't that busy & its lovely & quiet at night. The occasional boat goes through the locks which is great to watch. Lots of good cycling/walking routes. Before arriving here stock up at the Highland Garage in Lochgilphead, great shop & they have LPG gas & a water!
Really nice park up by the canal and lock gates. Nice picnic benches and tables. Good 4G on O2. Children/dogs, big drops into the locks! No bins.
Worth it for the sunset alone! road quiet got a great nights sleep...but why is there no bin?! took rubbish away with me but always amazes me they don't have them in a spot like this. nice options for dog walks in the morning. midge count very low/almost none!
Agree with ingin69 comment below and would add limited phone signal on EE but is a beautiful location especially with the sunset directly down the canal!
Ideal place to park up. Watch out for the midges. If you cross the canal and head to the left you will come across some buildings, opposite these towards the water, next to the lifering there is a tap so you'll need an aqauroll or other means of carrying the water back to your van.
Flat carpark next to canal lock. Four vans staying tonight. Flat park up. Quiet at night with little road noise. Excellent spot. Would stay again.
Excellent place to stay and watch the boats go up and down the loch's only one problem No Bins we stayed 2 nights no restrictions
Super endroit, nuit calme. Pas de services. Vue sur les écluses
Great spot. lovely walk with dog along tow path. able to watch boats going through lock gates from camper. even saw deer by the side of the loch.
Un superbe endroit, très calme dans un environnement serein. Possibilité de balade à pied ou à vélo sur le chemin de halage
