Quelle trouvaille magique. Belle vue sur le loch au milieu de la forêt. Un meilleur espace que le grand parking de l’autre côté du loch. Pas de circulation sur la route la nuit. Super endroit pour voir les étoiles. REMARQUE: La route d'accès est à voie unique et comporte deux ponts étroits. Vans et campeurs seulement. Les camping-cars ne passeront pas!

What a magical find. Beautiful loch view in the middle of the forest. Better space than the big car park at the other side of the loch. No traffic on the road at night. Great spot to see the stars. Possible to get down to the loch from here for a swim. Midges can be problematic at dusk/dawn.

NOTE: Access road is single track and has two narrow bridges, but roads and bridges were designed for farm and forestry vehicles, so large coach-built motorhome will fit if driver has adequate skill (not first time out in rental vehicle...), otherwise van conversions and campers easy and motorhomes with experienced drivers only!

Was für ein magischer Fund. Schöne Aussicht auf den See mitten im Wald. Ein besserer Platz als der große Parkplatz auf der anderen Seite des Sees. Nachts kein Verkehr auf der Straße. Toller Ort, um die Sterne zu sehen. HINWEIS: Die Zufahrtsstraße ist einspurig und hat zwei schmale Brücken. Nur Vans und Wohnmobile. Wohnmobile werden nicht passieren!

    Stunning park up! The view is unbeatable and there is very very little traffic on the road, just a farmer or two. Highly recommend but please pick up after yourselves!

    Great spot overlooking the dam..your a little exposed, but that helps keep the midge at bay... we came here in a lwb crafter and tbh I wouldn't want to do those little bridges in anything much wider...its a tight squeeze so be warned..other than that a peaceful night

    Peaceful spot, we stayed here for two nights with no bother. Excellent walks up into the forests and great 4G connectivity :-)

    Fantastic peaceful spot at the side of the loch. It’s on the road but wasn’t a problem as it’s single track and hardly any traffic. A bit uneven so perhaps needs levelers.

    Brilliant views. Midges were a slight issue, but still a fantastic spot. Possible to get down to the loch for a swim. A good place for dogs.

    Super mooie plek, rustig met mooi uitzicht! Wat midges om ons gezelschap te houden, maar dat is geen probleem, die gaan we vaker tegenkomen. Klein zwerfafval opgeruimd, we laten het morgen netjes achter zoals het hoort. Uitzicht op meertje en dam.

    Such a great spot, we had to return here again recently, there are multiple little areas suitable for an overnight stay down this lane. Would have rated this as 5* but there was a full rubbish bag and litter at this exact site when we arrived. Please if you see anything take it with you as everyone deserves to enjoy this place. Great signal on O2.

    Lovely spot overlooking the loch,obviously a popular spot as lots of people driving up to it then turning away...slight slope down hill and fires been lit but not cleared away..we eventually had to move as there were large groups of people at the loch partying and this spot is obviously a local for them..shame but we should have realised with the fires and excrement in the bushes...

    Great views. hard standing relatively flat. Space for many vehicles. Turds present marked with little loo roll markers presumably by folk who forgot there trowels. If you plan to have a fire, on a windy day amongst the dried out bracken - don’t be that prick. I won’t be there next time to help put the fire out..

    Lovely spot just above the marker. Turn up a track on the left just after the grassy parking place in the pictures and you'll find a gravel clearing with great views. Keep to the side of the clearing as farmer uses is to turn the tractor. The moon was beautiful rising above the hills. Great phone signal as there is a mast on the hill opposite

    Lovely quiet spot. Ignore person who said only vans and cars will fit, they need to learn to drive! I have corrected description. Roads and bridges were designed for farm and forestry vehicles 2.55m wide. I am currently parked here in an 8m long coach-built motorhome without any access problem (I would upload photos to show it but all 5 photo spots are already used by a small van).

    Beautiful spot by the loch but small and busy when we visited. There is a track to the left just beyond this spot which takes you up to a bigger flatter hard standing. Farmer visits his fields regularly so do not block access.

    Lovely place indeed. Could get windy so for rooftop tents maybe not an option. But a lovely site !

    The parking was full when I arrived so I parked à little further in front of a portal without hindering the passage. Stayed 2 nights, not a single noise. Beautiful view of the lake. Only 10 cars driving during the day.
