Joli spot au bout de la route, superbe vue sur le loch, parfait pour le coucher du soleil ! Sol gravier et de niveau. Point d’eau gratuit (après demande à un pêcheur). Les habitants du village souhaitent développer plus d’équipements pour les camping-car et une pancarte invite à une donation..

Portnalong Pier is a working pier for fishing boats and fish farm workboats. The parking area is also owned by Portnalong Pier and is for locals and visitors alike and we welcome camper vans, with on board amenities, for overnight
visits. The maximum number of vans is 4 on a first come first served basis and we ask you to park on the right hand side only. This will allow everyone to continue enjoying and using this facility. Please be prepared to move at very short notice if the space is needed for work activities. Please make a donation in the box provided, thank you. There are public toilets in the Community Hall back along the road on the right hand side.

Sehr schöner Platz am Ende der Straße, direkt am Pier von Portnalong. Perfekt für den Sonnenuntergang und eine Übernachtung. Ebener flacher Platz, ohne Sanitäranlagen, aber die Anwohner bitten um Spenden um den Platz ausbauen zu können. Dusche und Toiletten sind in Carbost gegenüber der Destillerie gegen eine Gebühr von 20p und 1£ verfügbar.
Platz für 4 Vans/Wohnmobile.

    Lovely spot, nice traveled area relatively flat. Night & daytime views were lovely. In the morning lots of birds to watch and a few boats. Would love to see it in the summer months. Big thanks to the locals for allowing people to enjoy a lovely spot

  • 5/5

    Un endroit vraiment très calme et reposant, c'est au bout de la route donc on entend pas de voitures passer. 4G OK. Par contre c'est très en pente. Un robinet d'eau à côté.

  • 4/5

    So wie beschrieben, sehr schöne Aussicht. Nur Mülleimer und Wasser vorhanden. Der Platz ist gescheitert, aber leicht abfällig.

  • 5/5

    Wirklich toller Platz mit traumhafter Aussicht über die Bucht. Mülleimer vorhanden. Wir waren die Nacht alleine. Auf dem Rückweg noch gegenüber von der Talisker Destillerie in der community Dusche geduscht. Auch sehr zu empfehlen.

  • 4/5

    Nice little place windy but not a problem great views and lovely and quiet

  • 5/5

    Really great spot to stay the night. Slightly sloping gravel parking and a picnic bench. Useful rubbish bins and a water tap down the slipway. Fantastic views and a great walk up over the point. Perfectly quiet at night and very safe. Thank you to the community for providing this and if you stay please leave a voluntary donation in the honesty box.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful place, lovely views, quiet and caught lots of mackerel from the slip on spinners. A van came to take fish from a boat around 21:30 but the process wasn't noisy and didn't disturb us, it was interesting to see.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful location. Super peaceful and quiet. Trash bins. No toilet. Water tap but it’s by the sea so idk if that’s great water or what.

  • 5/5

    Thank you for making this place possible. I enjoyed the rest and tranquillity a lot for the night and beautiful sunny morning. Left with a donation as it felt more than appropriate! To those who stay over: please leave the place spotless, it’s such a gem and we have to be grateful for that.

  • 5/5

    Super endroit pour passer la nuit ! magnifique vue sur le loch. nous sommes arrivés à 18h et il y avait déjà 3 vans sur les 4 emplacements disponibles. veillez à vous garer sur le côté droit comme indiqué. beaucoup de vent par contre. on recommande !

  • 5/5

    Einer der schönsten Plätze auf unserer Reise. Sehr ruhig, da er am Ende einer Straße liegt. Zudem extra von der dort ansässigen Firma unterstützt und extra fürs Campen ausgewiesen (Donation-Box) vor Ort. Der Platz ist sehr gerade und der Ausblick ein absoluter Traum. Wir sahen bei Frühstück sogar eine Gruppe von Delfinen. Platz für 4-5 Camper.

  • 5/5

    Small parking space for 4 camps but the 4 lucky enough to get a space here will be treated with an absolutely stunning view of the loch and surrounding mountain range. Great for night time star gazing. The ground is fairly flat. Very quiet. Good sitting areas and nearby walks on the small country road. Good tap nearby for filling up water tanks. Donation box for upkeep of the site.

  • 5/5

    super spot, calme pratique, poubelle a disposition.

  • 5/5

    Très bel endroit. calme avec des poubelles. une boîte pour une donation. emplacement pour 5 véhicules. nous étions en tente de toit. a recommander.

  • 4/5

    Tolle Aussicht. Ruhiger Platz. Ausreichend Platz für 4 Fahrzeuge. Die Zufahrt ist eine One Track Road. Leider kein Service bis auf Mülleimer. Es fahren ein paar Boote vorbei, ansonsten sieht und hört man nichts. Super für eine entspannte Nacht.

  • 5/5

    Endroit calme, reposant. Léger vent mais qui nous a permit de ne pas être embêté avec les midges

  • 5/5

    Toller Platz direkt am Hafen. Allerdings sollte man sich an die Regeln (4 Camper, nur auf dem ausgewiesenen Bereich stehen) halten. Ansonsten wird man von einem sehr energischen älteren Herren des Platzes verwiesen. Der Zustand des Platzes ist auf jeden Fall eine kleine Spende in der Box wert!

  • 5/5

    Accès à ce spot par une route typique de la région (one way avec nids de poules) mais cela en vaut la peine : site très calme et panorama magnifique ! Au moins 4 places. Sur le site boîte mise à disposition pour faire un don afin de créer un car Park et un ponton: Ne pas hesiter à donner !

  • 5/5

    Alors là c'est plus que le bout du monde! magnifique spot!

  • 5/5

    Great overnight parking spot with views across Loch Harport. very potholed road to reach it but worth while. Honesty box for donations towards developing the pier for more facilities so a great cause!

  • 5/5

    Really lovely spot, very quiet with stunning views even in poor weather. We glimpsed the northern lights too, even though there was heavy cloud cover.

  • 5/5

    Great place to sleep! We even got a glimpse of the northern lights over the hills here. The public toilets were clean and tidy. You can make a donation at the pier or at the toilets.

  • 5/5

    Great spot with beautiful views. Very clean and quiet. Camped there with 3 other vans, but the only ones left in the morning. Definitely recommend this spot

  • 5/5

    Wunderschöner Platz und super Netz. Strasse war ein bisschen mühsam aber in Ordnung. Sehr ruhige Nacht.

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot with an amazing view! We were the only ones there, plus a few nice locals in the morning. Please leave a donation so that places like this can remain open!

  • 5/5

    Absolutely beautiful. We were the only ones there. Bins available. Windy overnight. Make a donation too, it’s lovely that the locals have made this space for us.

  • 4/5

    Great spot. Slightly sloped, gravelled area for 4 vans. No facilities. Bins available. Clean and tidy. Lovely views. Quite exposed during high winds! Make donations in letter box provided. When we stayed, we were only ones there, lovely quiet night. Thank you.

  • 5/5

    This is a lovely place to park up. Good sized gravel area with two large bins. There is a picnic bench just next to the parking area. What a view! We were very fortunate to have lovely weather and watched seabirds, dolphins and seals in the sea. We also had a lovely sunset. Perfect for 3 vans but tight for 4. Please leave a donation in the box provided - the locals have really made an effort.

  • 4/5

    Lovely spot, really out of the way at the end of a dead end single lane track. Just one other van there when we visited. Gravel under foot, with room for about 4 or 5 vans, sloping slightly towards waterfront. Two rubbish bins provided. Plenty of turning space.

  • 5/5

    Endroit très calme et agréable pour dormir paisiblement. N'hésitez à faire un don pour permettre aux pêcheurs d'entretenir ce lieu. Je recommande également le restaurant du coin Munros Bar qui sert des plats très bons et le personnel est très gentil. Ils ont aussi une liste de whisky Talisker, ce qui vous permettra de faire une dégustation ;)

  • 5/5

    Spot parfait et très bien organisé par les locaux. Gravier pour 4 campeurs poubelles et table de pic nique avec une très belle vue. Calme assuré une nuit d.enfer.

  • 5/5

    lovely views and great wee spot get there early if wanting a spot local fishermen selling lobster aswell

  • 5/5

    excellent spot just enough space for about 4 campers. bins provided so please use leave no trace. great view over the Loch. could not get any phone or wifi signal but that just might be me. please donate

  • 5/5

    fantastic spot, amazing view. donation box, no fixed price. recommended.

  • 5/5

    Best place to stay in this area! Wonderful view, clean well maintained flat place, calm and quiet, with bins... If there will be simple toilets in the future, then it will be the best place ever. Please take your litter with you and DONATE to keep this place! :)

  • 5/5

    Un grand merci pour cette initiative! Quel bel endroit, le sol a été refait ce qui permet d’être à niveau, des poubelles sont à disposition et le plus important de l’eau est disponible sur la droite de la cale de mise à l’eau. N’oubliez pas la boîte à donation!

  • 5/5

    Parfait pour un spot de passage où même un peu plus longtemps. Calme et tranquille malgré la vie du petit port.

  • 5/5

    Kein Service, keine Toiletten, aber wer autark ist findet hier einen super netten legalen Stellplatz. Man steht wirklich direkt am Wasser und hat eine. Herrlichen Blick auf die Bucht. Bitte spenden!

  • 5/5

    Toller Sonnenuntergang, ... Wir stehen direkt am Wasser, näher geht nicht. Platz wurde schon etwas vergrößert, von den Bewohnern. Super nette Menschen. Bitten um kleine Spende für den Erhalt des Stellplatztes.... Spendendose direkt am Platz.

  • 5/5

    Eine sehr schöne Übernachtung. Schöne Sicht, ruhig. Eine gute Gastwirtschaft im Ort. Für die Erneuerung haben wir Geld gespendet.

  • 5/5

    We have stayed here a few times over the years and have always enjoyed it, peaceful with lovely views across the Loch. Looking forward to the toilet and shower block being built.

  • 1/5

    As the previous person mentioned a great little spot with signage welcoming self contained campervans with a donation going towards the development of the pier , we were awoken at 1am to the sound of a car and mens voices followed by a loud bang as something was thrown against the van ( tin of opened soup) and a hasty exit by the car , they also targeted a locals 4x4 , perhaps a one off???

  • 1/5

    Great little spot but stay spoiled as when we awoke both us and the van next to us had had chinese takeaways and cans of soup thrown all over the vans. We passed a 4x4 in the village which had the same treatment. If I had seen this before I left £10 in the donations box then I wouldn't have donated. Might just have been post-pub high jinx but spoiled our stay.

  • 5/5

    lovely, beautiful spot, room for 4 campers, donations welcome. toilets and pub up the road, showers in nearby town opposite distillery. would recommend for a short stopover, campers appear to be welcome

  • 4/5

    Spent a peaceful night here with 3 other motorhomes. Beautiful views across the loch in the morning

  • 4/5

    Excellent location. Great views. Very peaceful and easy access to public toilets and showers at Carbost

  • 5/5

    Beautiful place, felt so comfortable here. There's ample space for 4 campers/ small MH's parked together. Shame that another van-camper parked in the 'please do not park here' space opposite us (? Why as there was only us there in a VW camper SWB!). There's ample signage to tell you where/or not to park, please respect it! Leave a donation please, this place is a gem. We don't want to lose it.

  • 5/5

    Stayed last night. Nice quiet spot. Bins for rubbish and dog mess which is handy. Ran out of gas but the village shop in Carbost had a replacement 13Kg Calor Cylinder.

  • 4/5

    Spent hogmanay here. lovely evening with fireworks from the nearby houses. Very windy in the morning. Beautiful view.

  • 5/5

    Only van here. Very open so exposed to wind and rain but a good night's sleep. would be a great place for launching kayaks.

  • 5/5

    Very nice quiet location. We were lucky enough to be greeted by a seal as we arrived followed a sea eagle who settled in the bay in front of us. We both slept really well. The weather was definitely in our favour as it is open so could be noisy on a blustery evening.

  • 5/5

    Got here early afternoon to secure a spot. 4 spots taken by early evening. Great views, very peacefull and quiet.

  • 5/5

    Very quiet, beautiful view! Very recommended! Be there on time since there are only 4 spots.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful views at sunset and sunrise. Perfect for sitting in bed and looking out over the Loch with a coffee. Great spot for a dip in the Loch (for the brave only!) and launching paddle boards or canoes. Community toilets and a pub up the road if needed. Don’t forget to make a contribution to the honesty box!

  • 5/5

    Great, quiet spot. Slipway for water activity. Honesty box to help with improving site, showers, toilets etc. Donate to keep this site please. Lovely views, and stargazing brilliant. Totally recommend this site, but get he| early in summer.

  • 5/5

    Echoing all the below. Nice spot with good breakfast views. We walked to the local hotel/pub for dinner, they said they were booking only due to COVID but still managed to seat us. An FYI if anyone plans to stay soon. Quiet spot with donation box so the whole area can be improved.

  • 4/5

    Quiet spot. pub within 10/15 min walk for food and drinks. lovely walk to some ruins and lighthouse. although working harbour we weren't disturbed by anyone. only room for 4 vehicles and it was a bit of a squeeze

  • 4/5

    Nice, quiet little spot, community are hoping to develop it so toilets and showers can be added. Donation honesty box to pay for your stay which will be reinvested into developing it.

  • 5/5

    Nice quiet spot,lovely view,4G signal,would recomend

  • 1/5

    Caution : Someone chucked a tin of food at our van at 23:00 and drove off.

  • 5/5

    Amazing spot with amazing views

  • 5/5

    Really loved this spot. The sunsets are lovely here. Great pub with good food about 10-15 minute walk away. Didn’t see any seals here but did spot a sea eagle. Remember to bring some cash for the donation box.

  • 5/5

    Great location, beautiful sunsets and sunrises. we stayed 1 night 1st June 2021. locals friendly and welcoming and they want to improve the pier, so please leave a donation in the box.❤❤❤

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot, we sat and watched some seals from the van. Was fairly busy with 4 vans there but definitely would recommend this as place to park for the night.

  • 5/5

    Kleiner niedlicher Spot an einem kleinem Fischereihafen! Eine Picknickbank ist ebenfalls vorhanden :-)

  • 5/5

    Great spot. Level enough. Donations box at the pier. Fantastic view. Wish P4N would allow more than 5 photos. Long windy road to get there but we don’t mind that it’s all about the location and view for us ?

  • 3/5

    Great spot. BUT if it’s windy you really get blown about and its loud.

  • 3/5

    This is a pier used by fisherman, was already very busy with 5 vans before 6pm and was close to houses. We went elsewhere

  • 4/5

    Nice views good 4G

  • 4/5

    Lovely wee spot.wish I had brought my kayak as it's perfect for it. also some sea lions poped up.beautiful sunsets pretty quiet.there's a table and bench set there also.and from what I read on the board it's ready for some small changes to accommodate a couple more vans.there were 5 vans including myself and with leveling blocks and careful considerate parking could get 7 vans

  • 5/5

    Endroit parfait. Nous sommes restés là 5 jours à deux familles et cinq jeunes enfants. Un vrai havre de paix. Nous avons pêché quasi tous les jours, un pêcheur est même venu nous offrir du maquereau frais, et que dire des otaries et dauphins qui sont venus nous voir !! Table de pique-nique, Point d’eau gratuite à disposition, et départ de randonnées vers la lighthouse & bruch. N’hésitez pas à laisser un petit quelque chose dans la boîte à dons.

  • 3/5

    Would be fine if we didn't have a small child with us, but steep drops put us off!

  • 5/5

    Great spot, can fit 4 or 5 spots easily, donation pot for staying the night. Pub just up the road and Oyster Shack nearby, we picked up dinner on our way past!

  • 5/5

    Stayed for two nights. amazing scenery especially when the sun sets. please leave a donation to enable the locals to improve the infrastructure to support campervans. would thoroughly recommend eating in the Taigh Ailean Hotel. this spot is a must but get there early to ensure you get a spot.

  • 5/5

    Absolutely superb location so quiet and peaceful. Callum the fisherman was so accommodating and allowed us to use the hose pipe to top up our water - right now there are no signs as in the original picture but park up and Callum is likely to be around. He was just bringing in the catch of the day and so he gave us some fresh crab claws which we cooked and had for lunch! amazing stay - be sure to leave a donation as although not fully serviced the experience was on of the best on our trip!

  • 5/5

    Parfait pour une nuit, avec vue sur l'embouchure du Loch au réveil. Pas loin de Carbost (de la distillerie et du old inn !!!) Calme avec beaucoup d'espace

  • 5/5

    Great spot. Quiet and not so windy. Sometimes cars turn here.

  • 4/5

    Im September ist der Sonnenuntergang hinter den Hügeln. Ruhiger Platz, wenn auch etwas abgelegen. Es kommen immer wieder Autos, die hier nur wenden und wieder fahren. Unbedingt was spenden, sonst wird dieser Platz als nächster mit dem „No Overnight parking„ Schildern bestückt, wie schon an so vielen Orten in Schottland.

  • 4/5

    Accès à eau propre, poubelles et table de pique-nique. Emplacement relativement plat. Très belle vue et peu de midges. Comme dit dans la description les habitants incitent aux dons pour créer des toilettes et douches gratuites.

  • 5/5

    Maravilloso lugar para pernocta. Tiene una mesa y un atardecer de los que no se olvidan.

  • 4/5

    Beau lieu, beaucoup de vent donc pas de midge (point positif) malheureusement trop de monde (ce qui enlève 1 étoile). Accès à l'eau facile, je recommande.

  • 5/5

    Très bel endroit pour passer la nuit au bord de la mer. Beaucoup de vent si la météo n'est pas favorable. De la place pour 4/6 véhicules suivant la place prise par le matériel des pêcheurs. Il y a un resto/bar 1 ou 2 km avant. Très bonne connexion 4G pour les indeconnectables.

  • 5/5

    Superbe lieu de stationnement ! Nous avons retrouvé plusieurs van sur le spot ! Et en plus il y de l’eau en libre service ! Au top

  • 5/5

    Magnifique endroit à côté d'un port. Il y a un point d'eau et des poubelles. Nuit très calme bien qu'il y ait deux autres campeurs. Nous avons pu bénéficier d'un splendide coucher de soleil.

  • 4/5

    Schöner ruhiger Platz direkt am Meer. Kein Verkehr und ein wahnsinnig schöner Sonnenuntergang. Haben einen tollen Abend und ruhige Nacht hier verbracht.

  • 5/5

    Superbe spot, en bord de mer, avec un lever et un coucher de soleil magnifique. Du passage en journée, mais calme la nuit

  • 3/5

    Stayed here last night. level gravel car park at pier. sign invites donations. lovely views

  • 5/5

    Please note the GPS cords are 2 km incorrect the site is on portnalong pier,just follow the coast road from the tallasker distillery,for 2.8 miles good road great site and sunsets you won't believe
