    Lugar precioso donde pasar el día y la noche. Muy limpio y tranquilo. Ideal para hacer senderismo.

  • 5/5

    We stayed last night with 3 children. Toilets were open overnight and were warm and very clean. We had a walk to the beautiful vat this morning and then looked around the lovely visitor centre on return; kids loved all of the wee activities on offer. A fantastic over night stop.

  • 5/5

    Precioso lugar con espacio para muchas furgos. Fuimos los únicos esa noche porque hacía muy mal tiempo. Los baños estaban súper limpios. A partir de las 7 ya no pasa ningún coche por la carretera. Lugar agradable y buen descanso

  • 5/5

    Very helpful staff in the visitor centre. The walk up to the Vat is a great experience. Adequate 4G, sufficient clear sky for your solar panels, I’ll come back.

  • 2/5

    we arrived at 8:30-9pm, The place was already full, motorhomes parked very close to each other. we used the toilets, which were immaculately maintained and clean, and we drove off elsewhere...

  • 5/5

    Extremely grateful for the water refill, gave a donation, there is a point next to the visitor centre for cash, toilets clean and the walks look lovely

  • 5/5

    Quiet spot with lots of other campers. Toilets are very clean and open through the night. The waterfall nearby is super pretty too. Make sure to leave a donation! :)

  • 5/5

    Top Platz, nachts ruhig. Mitten im Wald. Öffentliche Toiletten, Entsorgung WC. Kostet nichts, aber nur eine Nacht erlaubt. Tolle Wanderwege. Dicht bei Ballater ( schöner Ort ) und Nähe Balmoral

  • 4/5

    Wir haben nur Ver- und entsorgt. Toiletten sauber. Frischwasser muss in der Gießkanne geschleppt werden, da wir sooo einen langen Schlauch nicht haben. Unser Grauwasser haben wir im Schwarzwasser entsorgt. Ein Dankeschön.

  • 5/5

    Toller Übernachtungsplatz: sehr saubere Sanitäranlagen, ruhige Nacht und schöne Wanderung am nächsten Morgen!

  • 5/5

    Super Übernachtungsplatz, nachts sehr ruhig, tagsüber gut besucht. Saubere Toilette 24h geöffnet. Um Spende wird gebeten, kann auch online gemacht werden, wer kein Bargeld hat. Bitte machen, damit solche Plätze erhalten werden können. Viele schöne Wanderungen direkt vor Ort.

  • 5/5

    great peaceful nights stay. lots of vans!nice walks from visitors center. donation box in front of visitors center.please be respectful and dont flood bathrooms trying to shower in the sink...

  • 5/5

    Great overnight spot. Lots of spaces, but very busy during the day with cars. Toilets open all night which are very clean. Drinking water point and chemical disposal point very close. Lots of walks from the car park. Can only stay for 1 night and asked to leave a donation rather than a set cost. Absolute gem of a place to stay. No bins so take all rubbish with you.

  • 5/5

    Tap is the other side of the visitor centre - only possible to fill up water cans. Some bays are big enough for longer vans. Chemical waste disposal doesn’t have a tap - there is a button to flush chemical waste on the left hand side - looks like last few people haven’t used it. Donation post near info board.

  • 5/5

    Lovely park up, available for one night stay. A busy car park during the day becoming quiet after 6pm. Nice and clean toilets walking distance from the park. Would stay again.

  • 5/5

    Sehr schöner Parkplatz mit schönem Rundweg und den See und einem Wasserfall. Sehr saubere Toiletten. Unbedingt empfehlenswert.

  • 5/5

  • 5/5

    super Stellplatz für eine Nacht! Liegt direkt an der Straße die aber nur sehr wenig befahren ist. Es gibt Toiletten, Trinkwasser und eine Entsorgung für die Chemietoilette. Tolle Spaziergänge in der Umgebung. Da alles kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt wird, freut sich das Nature Reservat freut sich über eine Spende.

  • 5/5

    Really nice spot. Immaculate toilets. Water and chemical toilet disposal. Walks from the car park.

  • 5/5

    Amazing facilities, really well maintained. Beautiful scenery as well!

  • 5/5

    Absolutely class. Gorgeous walks spotless toilets. They are however a walk into the forest which at night if you’d like me isn’t fun

  • 5/5

    Excellent spot to park up for the night. Quiet, beautiful location, fairly level ground, lots of spaces and the toilet facilities are very well maintained. There's also a chemical toilet disposal facility and specific dog waste bins.

  • 5/5

    Excellent Place, Stopped Here For Single Night, Lovely Walks, Clean Toilets. No Rubbish Bins So Please Take Rubbish Away. Chemical Disposal Point Also. Sigh Saying Mobile Homes Welcome.

  • 5/5

    Fantastic Location. WC available. Chemical Waste and Fresh Water, just need a watering can to get water back to your van. Local Ranger very friendly. Walks great especially the climb through to the waterfall. Great stop over if visiting the grounds of Balmoral

  • 5/5

    Fantastic location, campers are welcome to spend one night . There is chemical waste disposal on site and nice and clean toilets. Car spaces are flat but wont accomodate larger motorhomes .

  • 5/5

    Excellent place to spend the day and night ,fantastic walks and with the water tap and elsan it is a perfect and peaceful area. Donation point by the visitor centre we need more like this . £10 left with thanks.

  • 5/5

    Heerlijke plek en campers zijn welkom om maximaal 1 nacht te blijven. Toiletten aanwezig en zeer schoon. Drinkwater bij het informatiecentrum. Er worden geen kosten in rekening gebracht, maar er is een donatiebox aanwezig. ‘S nachts erg rustig. Prachtige omgeving. Ik kom hier zeker terug!

  • 5/5

    Lovely and quiet with only the occasional passing car and woke up to the birds chirping! Several flat/hard, marked spaces. Toilet block was very clean and taps with warm water, there is a tap outside the visitor centre for drinking water (not possible to fill whole van, but a smaller container/bottle) and a chemical toilet dump. Short walk to Burn O Vat and other well signposted walks.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful surroundings with well signposted walks. Relaxed approach to campervans stopping over provided they comply with a few simple and understandable conditions. Donation box and on-line facility to donate - please do to make sure it remains for the future.

  • 5/5

    Nice clean toilets and a great walk to the burn o vat...check out the Cambus o may parking too. not far away from here.

  • 5/5

    excellent toilet blocks, hard standing and you are only allowed to stay one night.

  • 5/5

    5 stars, superclean toilets and parking area. Dump for chemical waste, water tap, nice information centre and lots of walks. when we arrived lots of flies but all of a sudden they were gone. quiet night thanks for making this possible

  • 4/5

    Parking de randonnée avec services de vidange des toilettes et remplissage d’eau. Attention les services sont loin du parking donc il faut tout faire à pied. Pensez à prendre un bidon

  • 5/5

    Toller Platz. Waren überrascht, dass ca. 15 Fahrzeuge über Nacht da waren.

  • 5/5

    Ich habe in meinem Leben noch nicht so saubere öffentliche Toiletten gesehen. Gebt dieser Lady eine Gehaltserhöhung! :)Es war eine herrlich ruhige Nacht und am Tag kann man tolle Wanderungen machen. Echter Tipp!

  • 5/5

    Great spot. Plenty of space in a shady woodland area. Max one night stay. Interesting visitors Centre. Clean toilets with warm water and chemical toilet disposal. Campers welcome if well behaved! Lovely walks of varying distances.

  • 5/5

    El lugar genial. Tranquilo de dia y de noche. Los baños abiertos siempre y muy limpios. Para vaciar wc químico pero no tiene toma de agua cerca para limpiar. Por lo que hay que ir y volver al grifo del agua potable para limpiarlo. No puedes llenar el deposito del agua salvo que lleves manguera muy muy larga o rellenes con otro recipiente. Hay una caja azul para dejar tu donacion.

  • 5/5

    Lovely place for a few small hikes to the nearby Loch and the burn o vat. Try following through the burn o vat. absolutely beautiful for those light on the feet. Nice and clean toilets with warm water.

  • 4/5

    Fijne plek, super dat er een zwart water punt is. Jammer dat er geen kraan naast zit om de cassette om te spoelen, hopelijk gebruikt niemand de drinkwater kraan hiervoor!!! Drinkwater punt ligt op een afstand waar je geen slang voor kan gebruiken dus je zal heen en weer moeten lopen. Maar eigenlijk is dit natuurlijk gezeur om niks aangezien dit gaat om een gratis plek met voorzieningen!

  • 5/5

    Lovely place to spend the night, toilet’s good. Good well sign posted walks all around. Definitely stay here again.

  • 5/5

    Absolutely fantastic place to night stop. Campers welcome for a donation to the Nature Reserve. There's a donation box or you can pay online. Toilets clean and open 24hrs, chemical loo disposal and drinking water tap. Lovely walks around the reserve including incredible Burn O Vat. Very quiet except for the birdsong which was absolutely glorious!

  • 5/5

    Perfect spot for an overnight stay, very quiet and the toilets were very clean / tidy. Plenty walks around to go exploring. Donation box is located at the visitor center. Would stay here again.

  • 5/5

    Perfect spot! Stayed here late January for a night and loved it. Great access to lots of walks nearby and the facilities were brilliant. The car park itself was quite busy during the day and then a few other vans were there over night but no issues at all

  • 5/5

    Great spot! Stopped for an overnight, only one other van there, plenty of space and excellent (and heated) toilet facilities. Nice and quiet through the night. A beautiful walk too!

  • 5/5

    We stopped for a walk and lunch and emptied our chemical waste. Green toilet products only. Drinking water from tap available too. I don't think our hose would reach to fill up but topped up with a few bottles anyway. Great wee spot with lovely walks.

  • 5/5

    stopped here to see the burn o vat and were surprised that there was black waste disposal and drinking water. Wife found a sign saying overnighter welcome, donations appreciated. Was very busy when we arrived but emptied quickly. Toilets spotless. Never stayed the night so can't comment on how busy it was

  • 5/5

    Very nice site and super clean toilets. Walks to loch and vat great. Left a donation.

  • 5/5

    Great place to stay. Max 1 night stay is okay. 24 hour facilities with hot water, drinking water tap and great walks! Amazing stay. Did a little car park clean up before we left, and made a donation, would recommend!

  • 5/5

    Good quiet stopover with drinking water behind wardens hut and proper black waste disposal behind toilet block. Please use green fluids ... its a reed bed system. Room for about 10 campervans and motorhomes under 7m. on gravel parking. Please make a donation to keep places like these in operation.

  • 5/5

    Great free (donation) parking area with water tap behind the visitor center. There is also a toilet block and black water disposal. Level spots and very quiet overnight. The walk around the Loch was good, mostly flat. Vat o' Burn was short, easy & so cool once you go through the crack in the rocks. You must check it out. We would definitely go back. Thank you Muir of Dinnet.

  • 5/5

    A nice place and calm night,we emptied our cassette to the toilet facility,very comfortable, we couldn refill a fresh water,because the tap is quite far and we hadn so long hose.you should donate if you can,we did.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here for one night. Facilities were lovely and clean. There isn’t any bins but we didn’t mind. Really quiet. Few Motorhomes parked up too.

  • 5/5

    Fab car park, as others have said bit busy during the day, and parked up with 3 other campers overnight. Enough space and great facilities. Don't forget the donation box to help keep this place maintained and open!

  • 5/5

    Very very peaceful night. Some nice walks. As others have said Fresh water and black waste dump. we left a donation . Thank you for providing this excellent facility

  • 5/5

    This is an absolute must stop beautiful place facilities 3 night here

  • 5/5

    Our favourite place so far. Clean toilets open all night, water refill (drinking water), safe place to empty toilet waste and quiet for an overnight stay. Took a walk in the morning to Burn o' Vat (follow the sign for the waterfall) and it was absolutely stunning. Would heavily recommend. Please use the suggested donation box even though it's free. More places like this are needed!

  • 5/5

    Nice spot, as others note: - fresh water but only practical for bottles etc (too far from car park) - toilet disposal - very busy during day - completely free

  • 5/5

    Quite spot. Fresh water and good loos!

  • 5/5

    Quiet spot with free waste disposal abs drinking water. Clean toilet block as well. Lots of frogs in the forest. Five stars

  • 5/5

    Lovely overnight spot, very quiet with toilets nearby. Vans are welcomed with a suggestion to make a donation, why wouldn’t you. We need more welcoming sites like this. The trails are worth walking and the Vat is spectacular .6 vans the night we stayed.

  • 5/5

    Nice and quiet. There’s a short walk also with nice views. There is a toilet and chem disposal and drinking water tap. There is a sign saying your welcome for ONE night stop over.

  • 3/5

    Excellent to have a chemical toilet disposal but unless you have a 60m hose you will not be able to fill a water tank as the tap is on the opposite side of the building to the car park. OK to fill bottles or Jerry cans I suppose

  • 5/5

    Campervans welcome to stay one night. Free, donations encouraged. Plenty of space, quiet road, picnic tables, chemical disposal point and drinking water available 24h. Lots of walks signposted from the carpark. On a Wednesday night in June there were 3 other vans.

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot, very clean toilets open 24/7, happy to give donations to Rangers in the morning.

  • 5/5

    Great place,

  • 5/5

    What a gem - toilets, drinking water and toilet disposal at this beautiful location which allows one night free parking. 2 other vans and a car there overnight. Everyone was very respectful. Beautiful trails for running, walking or cycling nearby.

  • 5/5

    Fantastic spot, quiet and beautiful surrounding areas. Free to park for one night, but donations will help keep it running. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5

    One of my favourites. Please donate to keep this open

  • 5/5

    Nice place for one night only and chemical deposal point and water clean Toilets.

  • 5/5

    BRILLIANT spot! walks galore! free one night camping for motorhomes at the official muir of dinnet car park national nature reserve where they also have a toilet block facility but no actual campervan amenities

  • 5/5

    Water free, toilets place to empty toilet. Level. Busy during day with walkers. Loads nice walks around. Quiet at night. One night stay. Will definitely use again

  • 5/5

    Lovely place, great little waterfall with a cool walk to get to it, but wear waterproof boots if you don't want to get wet feet. Can stay one night. Chemical toilet and water tap available, but need to fill bottles, too far for a hosepipe. Worth donating to to keep it going, can donate inside the visitor centre or online.

  • 5/5

    Lovely location, although no view, loads of walks. No litter. Very busy before 5pm but empty after that (September). Chemical toilet disposal. Level locations. Sully is 7.3m and just squeezed in. Notice on board saying to remove own rubbish and only one night. Ballater is lovely and only 5 miles away.

  • 5/5

    Real top location. Totally quiet at night and the toilets and drinking water were a plus. Just one other overnight vehicle while we were here. Great walks from here.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful location. Quite busy during the day but very quiet from 6pm despite adjacent road. Toilets on site.
