Point de vue sur la vallée et les montagnes. Juste à côté de la route principale. Très calme la nuit mais exposé aux éléments. Aucun point de rebut. Ne convient pas aux gros fourgons.

Viewpoint overlooking the valley and the mountain range. Just off main road. Very quiet at night but exposed to the elements. No refuse point. Not suitable for big vans.

Blick auf das Tal und die Berge. Direkt an der Hauptstraße. Nachts sehr ruhig, aber den Elementen ausgesetzt. Keine Schrottpunkte. Nicht für große Transporter geeignet.

    Really nice spot. Don’t know why others were parked up cramped on the side of the road when this place was empty… just us and three other vans. Amazing views …. Amazing starry night …. Amazing sunrise. Dead quiet once nightfall and vehicles stopped passing. No facilities, but with views like this, who cares !?

    Loved this parking spot. Views of Snowdon and valley second to none. There are no signs saying no overnight parking. Space for around 20 vehicles. Windy due to exposure but really lovely. No other vans there when we were there. Out of courtesy I’d want to be out of there by 8am ish to let people park during the day but no problem being there overnight. Would recommend!!

    Quiet night with a handful of passing cars! Had the place to ourselves!

    Great views up and down the valley, hence being quite exposed. We had quite a blustery night!

    Stayed here Saturday night, 2 other vans and 2 cars! Woke up to one of the best views I’ve woken up to, leave no trace and enjoy!

    Absolutely incredible views to wake up to! Stayed the night with the dog and although it’s a busy car park, I’d say it’s worth the noise of people parking up to catch the bus in the morning!

    If there were signs preventing overnight stays there aren't anymore. No visible restrictions. Fabulous spot

    Found this by chance whilst driving. Had a great night here with amazing views, no signs about not allowing overnight parking, it is a small car park so 2 campers in it would spoil the viewpoint. I note from other comments there used to be a sign saying no overnight, there was no signal so we did not see this until the next day. Despite it being lovely I wouldn't stay again based on other posts.

    Beautiful view indeed but No overnight parking allowed.

    Definitely not a wasted trip as beautiful views (even in the rain) but there are loads of signs saying no camping/overnight parking now. Respected the signs and moved on. Definitely a viewpoint not a park up.

    Lovely spot, stayed one night (8:30pm-1:30pm) with no problems. No signs to say you can't stay over night. 40 mins or so walk (half on and half off the road) to Pen-y-Pass trail start. Beautiful views! There's about 13 spots, no loos or bins, but that can be sorted. Traffic until about 11pm, but not bad, picked up at around 7am. Would definitely stay again and recommend this spot.

    The views are incredible here. You can see the Snowdon and few other picks. There are 12 parking spots. The place can get busy with people stopping to shoot the views but it gets really quiet at night. There is no sign specifying not to park over night.

    Amazing views, was quiet in February. Spent the night on our own, room for 3/4 vans. No bins or amenities. Open to the elements.. Was very windy but we stayed during a storm.

    Spent 2 night there, late November 2019. lovely spot with fantastic view looking down at Llyn Gwynant. I would imagine it very popular during the warmer months. On my first night there was one other camper, the second night was just me. Very quiet, perfect.

    Parked here in our XLWB Iveco. Depending on season/traffic could easily get a couple of large vans/motor homes here. Stunning views. Stayed overnight - not moved on. No obvious signs stating no overnight parking.

    Super Aussicht in alle Richtungen. Nachts ruhig, aber sehr windig. Max. 3 Womos und auch nur zur Übernachtung; der Platz wird von vielen Leuten für einen Fotostopp angefahren.
