  • 4/5

    Ebener, ruhiger Stellplatz mit Strom, Wasser und Entsorgung der Toilette. Duschen geschlossen. Wir standen ruhig, nur der Bach rauscht.

  • 5/5

    Toller Platz für eine Zwischenübernachtung.

  • 2/5

    a quiet night stopover no answer at the owners door, the ehu points were full of water and not working the water tap had frozen so no water available and the toilet had frozen so unable to flush, £10 was a little steep for what was parking in a scrap yard with the facilities not available, popped the money through the door with a note and our contact details but the proprietor never called.

  • 5/5

    keine Ahnung warum man mehr als das doppelte bezahlen will und Straßenlärm inklusive haben möchte. Top, wenn Strom, Frischwasser und ein Parkplatz reicht!

  • 4/5

    Für eine Zwischenübernachtung sehr gut geeignet. Wir haben eine Wandung zum Viewpoint Loch Ness unternommen. Aufgrund des hohen Wasserstands des Flusses kamen wir nicht ganz dorthin. Trotzdem schöne Runde durch den Wald. Ver- und Entsorgung - alles vorhanden. 10 £ ohne Strom / 15 £ mit Strom. Die Umschläge für das Bargeld sind im roten Bus; Einwurf bei Dave‘ Rest im Briefkasten an der Einfahrt.

  • 5/5

    Great place for a night and take care of van chores. EHU available on a few pitches (we didn’t need it). Nice touches with fire pits and seating. Thank you !!

  • 5/5

    Great place, easy, honest based payments. Very quiet all the services needed are here ( electric, black / grey water, rubbish disposal... Plenty space. Just turn up and park. Good place as a start for your touring around this part of Scotland

  • 5/5

    Perfekt um das Nessie Center und die Ruine zu besuchen. Versteckt hinten drin, daher völlig Ruhe. Strom, Entsorgung und Versorgung vorhanden. Entleerung mit einem festen Fäkaltank kaum bis gar nicht möglich….. aber paar Hunter Meter weiter auf dem öffentlichen Parkplatz ist eine Entleerung kein Problem. Bezahlung bar oder Paypal.

  • 5/5

    Stayed for one night 27/08/2023 There was only a couple of motor homes/ campers. Didn’t bother with electrics as we didn’t really need to. Had a very peaceful nights sleep. In the morning I walked the dogs up to the falls. It was a steepish road but as I went early it was quiet. Overall we had a great stay and will definitely stay again. Many thanks and much appreciated

  • 5/5

    área tranquila y perfecta para dormir y descansar, SIN OLORES, como ponen en otros comentarios, se coge el sobre para el dinero en el autobús y se deposita en el buzón de la primera casa de la entrada de la urbanización, agua y descargas gracias

  • 5/5

    Lugar perfecto para quedarse a pasar una noche o varias y así disfrutar de paseos por la ciudad y el Lago Ness. A 20 minutos del pueblo a pie. Tiene mesas y juegos para hacerlo más acogedor. Zona muy tranquila. No se percibe nada de malos olores. Muy recomendable por todo y por el precio. Nos volveríamos a quedar aquí.

  • 4/5

    Gute Alternative zum ausgebuchten Campingplatz Loch Ness Bay. Wir sind spät angekommen und es waren noch genügend Stellplätze frei. Wenige Minuten zur Ortsmitte und zum Loch Ness Center ( sehr gut gemachte Ausstellung für alle Altersklassen.

  • 5/5

    Janet was amazing. couldn't of been nicer. Showed us where to go next on our trip. Rough nd ready. We had 3 nights wild camping and stayed there for 2 nights. Filled our water and emptied waste water.

  • 2/5

    le concept est super, le nécessaire est présent mais une heure après notre arrivée je ne supportais pas l'odeur, ça sentait vraiment fort (animal mort ?) je suis donc parti ailleurs malgré que j'avais réglé pour la nuit. notre voisin du soir est également parti pour cette même raison.

  • 3/5

    It's ok. When we are were there, it smells bad from the near waste plant. Depens on the wind direction.

  • 4/5

    Top Stellplatz. Preislich sehr fair und eigentlich ruhige Gegend (bei uns hatten ein paar Kühe laute Unterhaltungen). Services auch vorhanden.

  • 5/5

    Rustige plek. 20 minuten rijden van Inverness vandaan. Handig vanwege faciliteiten. Erg prettig. De weg er naar toe op het laatst is aardig smal voor een grote camper.

  • 5/5

    lovely quiet spot, water and toilet empty facilities plus fresh water. Bargain at £10 a night!

  • 3/5

    Wir waren dort. Leider hat der Stellplatz im Moment geschlossen (war jedoch auch Off-Season). Schade, wie hätten gerne dort übernachtet. Die Einfahrt ist für größere Wohnmobile relativ eng, aber gut möglich.

  • 5/5

    Super nice spot ! Electricity available and fresh water. Very quiet place. 30 min walk to the Loch Ness. I highly recommend it

  • 5/5

    Great little stop over! Electric hookup, water refill and Eldon point £15 a night! Had the place to my self, arrived late at night after work and had a great nights sleep and chilled morning! Will definately be returning. Payment details in the big red bus, PayPal or cash accepted! Thanks Dave

  • 5/5

    Great if you need EHU, my diesel heater broke and it was -4 so this place was a blessing as I was able to use a electric heater because I was plugged into their electricity.

  • 5/5

    Spot parfait pour recharger/vider tout ce qu'il faut !

  • 3/5

    Great place, with everything you need. Apart from the toilets & showers been locked. Pick up an envelope from the red bus and place cash in it, then post through owners door. Or you can use app. £10 a night plus £5 for EHU.

  • 5/5

    En arrivant l’endroit semble un peu vague mais franchement Parfait pour une nuit. Très calme. Services dispo ( vidange, eau et électricité)le paiement est autonome il faut déposer les sous dans une fente de boîte aux lettres un peu plus loin ( merci de le respecter )

  • 4/5

    Einfach und pragmatisch. 10 Pfund pro Nacht + ggfs. 5 Pfund für Strom. Keine Toiletten, aber Wasser und Müllentsorgung möglich.

  • 1/5

    Wollten die Nacht dort verbringen, da aber die Anlage eher weniger einladend war und die Sanitäranlagen geschlossen war, haben wir die Nacht am Campingplatz verbracht.

  • 5/5

    Parfait pour vidanger les eaux grises et remplir. Nous aurions pu vider la cassette aussi. Le tout pour 5£ que vous glisser dans la la fente de la porte à l’entrée.

  • 5/5

    Sehr schlicht, aber für nur 10£ zu haben! Haben unseren Wassertank randvoll gemacht, da wir überglücklich waren, hier endlich wieder normales Trinkwasser vorzufinden! Ungechlort! Für uns war dieser Stellplatz perfekt!

  • 3/5

    Nun ja. Ziemlich veraltet. Keine Duschen oder Toiletten mehr.

  • 4/5

    Es un sitio bastante bueno, y económico para lo que es Escocia. Se paga en dejando el dinero en un sobre que coges en el autobús rojo, es un sistema basado en la honradez de la gente. No hay vistas y está un poco alejado de lago pero para una noche está bien. 10 £ y 15£ con electricidad

  • 4/5

    not fancy and no view but easy and cheap place to stay for the night with all the services. not many other places to stay unless on the road. £10 for the night Gray and black water and fresh water top up. add £3 if you need electricity. portable toilet (didn't use it) but no showers. grab an envelope from the red bus and pay in the mail box of the first house once you drive in. recommended

  • 4/5

    Showers and toilets still locked, but electric and water all good, children liked the old bus and tables and chairs outside. Certainly a bit different. Payment is trust based, we sent £15 via PayPal. Walk to cafe eighty2 great vegan and gluten free food.

  • 1/5

    nous avons juste vu le lieu nous sommes vite répartis. Pas d'herbe, vraiment pas joli.

  • 4/5

    Area con todos los servicios, llegamos a él por casualidad después del No de varios camping, noche super trsnkila. Lo único mal nivelación del suelo. Precio 10£

  • 4/5

    bon rapport qualité prix. en autonomie. nous étions seuls le soir de notre arrêt.

  • 5/5

    Really nice place to stay over night easiest 5*

  • 4/5

    4 étoiles pour le prix, petit parking très bien mais attention, en autonomie ! ne pas s attendre à un joli camping avec de jolie toilettes. ceci dit, encore une fois, pratique et peu cher, payés 13£ pour passer la nuit, vider les toilettes et eaux grises un plein en eau.

  • 5/5

    We stayed here for 1 night, no booking facility just turn up. There were only a few other vans and EHU no problem. We paid £13 in total for everything. We had a quiet night and would stay again. Pub within walking distance and nice walks with the dog nearby. Great value. There is an old bus offering communal seating and chairs and tables outside.

  • 5/5

    Emplacement bien situé avec toutes les commodités pour 10 3£. pas loin de la ville a pied, de l épicerie, des chutes et du château. le tout se paye avec une honnestly box.

  • 5/5

    Très calme, pratique et bien placée, cette petite aire est idéale pour visiter le coin du Loch Ness. 10 livres la nuit et 3 de plus pour l'électricité. Nous n'étions que 3 pour une vingtaine de places.

  • 5/5

    Great place, quiet safe and friendly, all the facilities with easy access to lock ness, highly recommended.

  • 5/5

    Stayed there for a night, were able to use electricity, fresh water and waste disposal. Since there is no "reception" or anything, we were able to arrive late at night, setup our electricity, and next morning dispose waste, top up water and leave. Quiet, there were still many empty spaces, very useful if you need a palace to use facilities and not much else

  • 4/5

    Rustikales Plätzchen für eine Nacht. Ruhig mit Bach im Hintergrund. 10 Pfund Platzgebühr und 3 Pfund Strom.

  • 4/5

    Very convenient with fully served pitches, with EHU and water. Waste and grey water can be deposited onsite. It is run on an honesty principle, where you pay for your stay with money in an envelope (£10 per pitch, plus £3 EHU) which can be found in the old bus 'reception'. This is then deposited through the door of a nearby house. Only downside was shower/toilet block was closed during our stay.

  • 5/5

    Very convenient stopover... we just needed the basics... water top up, electricity and elsan.... so much cheaper than a campsite... £13. Very quiet and peaceful. No toilets or showers but that's no problem... public toilets in the village if needed.

  • 4/5

    Really peaceful. Directions made it easy to find. Nice to see all the sheep and lambs on the way in.

  • 4/5

    A bit rough around the edges but suited us great, relaxing and informal with all motorhome needs and at a reasonable cost. Thank You

  • 5/5

    passé une nuit ,endroit calme avec tous les services,eau et électricité compris , pour un prix raisonnable

  • 5/5

    A brilliant stop, well worth the money to stay, empty elsan and top up water. Payment is via an honesty system, the red bus is the unmanned ‘reception’. A 25 min hike up to Divach Falls. Co-op/food places within walking distance. Would definitely recommend.

  • 4/5

    Great overnight stay. Tidy, clean, safe and very accessible. We stayed there with 2 other vans so plenty of room. Bins and recycling really convenient. Would rate 5 stars but toilet and shower block was closed. Highly recommend for overnighters.

  • 5/5

    Great little spot. £13 for motorhome with ehu. No shower and toilet but all waste disposal and water fill up so what more could you want. The night we were there only 3 other vans so plenty of space. Pay through honesty box. Would defo stop again if passing in future.

  • 5/5

    Great find, only knew about it from the park 4 night app. we stayed one night after visiting Loch Ness. Quiet little spot and outdoor seating available. A total of around 8 motor homes the night we stayed with space still available.

  • 5/5

    We called here 2 times just to do the needful and both times the place was empty! A great little find and one that I am sure will become more popular as more people discover it! Whoever Dave is, he’s onto a winner!

  • 5/5

    Good value quiet spot at end of a residential cul de sac. All essential amenities for emptying & refills. A rocky and shallow River Coiltie is accessible literally over the fence & our teens enjoyed some splash & wade there. Site is not manned, so honesty box applied, even for buying the eggs. Well situated for Nessie spotting & Urquhart Castle. Would definitely visit again.

  • 5/5

    Lovely stop, only 1 other camper. owner provides tables for eating outside. everything you need. spent agreat night there refilled and emptied everything. even got some fresh eggs. But please respect that it is in a residential area and dont spoil it for others. pay either by paypal or honesty box

  • 4/5

    Great place to stop over. We stayed 2 nights (max allowed) and walked a small bit of the Glen Affric Way. Gravel, flat, peaceful. Overnight stay with ehu £13. Very friendly owner who owns a motorhome herself.

  • 5/5

    Great place to stay overnight (10£ vía honesty box or Paypal). Easy parking and quiet. Not midges.

  • 5/5

    Amazing place to stay, £10 and we have been able to stay all night with all the service included. Additionally, fresh eggs can be purchased from the same place putting the money in the Honesty box.

  • 4/5

    Good i suppose. gravel. no view. we were the only ones there, so super quiet which was perfect. honesty box for payment.

  • 4/5

    A work by in progress but nevertheless a cracking little overnight stopover with water, grey waste disposal and hook ups available. Honesty box for payment. Would use again.

  • 5/5

    Safe, quiet, simple. O2, three, virgin services.

  • 5/5

    Turned up without booking, only 2 other vans here, spoke to the nice chap who works here who explained they have now extended and there are spaces for over 20 vans. £13 a night for a sprinter van with two people including electric, paid via PayPal, couldn’t of been easier. Great spot would recommend.

  • 5/5

    Excellent spot stayed 1 night emptied filled up and had a nice walk all for £10 the country needs more of you

  • 5/5

    We we’re the only MH there, very quiet night. You pay at the honestly box with cash or PayPal £10 a night extra £3 for electric. We stayed 1 night with electricity. We didn’t use the services. A nice 1.2m walk to the Falls of Divach from campsite.

  • 4/5

    Great value. Close to town. ideal stop off lovely and quiet

  • 5/5

    An excellent wee place to stop off. Quiet and close to town. Would love to see more places like this being set up.

  • 4/5

    Very handy place to get water, empty cassette etc. Please make sure you pay. if no one in reception honesty envelopes in green bin. instructions on wall of reception portacabin tells you where to leave money.

  • 5/5

    Spent three nights here last weekend. It was good enough to bring me back on my way back south. Toilets etc are closed but for £10 a night and being able to empty waste and refill with water it is well worth it. Was even able to swap some books that I had read for some I hadn’t. Remember the honesty box though people or pay through PayPal. It’s these type of facilities that we have all been wanting so let’s support them.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here 10th feb 2020, paid with paypal. ideal stop off.

  • 5/5

    Brilliant quiet spot. excellent services for a bargain price. spent one night in a VW camper in winter for 13 pound inc EHU. paid with paypal too!

  • 5/5

    Endroit pratique, pas sexy mais tout est fait pour que la pause se passe bien. N’oubliez pas de payer!

  • 5/5

    Super Aufenthalt , günstiger Preis , aktuelle filme zum ausleihen gratis bezahlt wird per Ehrlichkeits Prinzip , Paypal ebenfalls möglich , gerne wieder

  • 5/5

    Just spent the night here, was perfect for what we needed. We paid £13 for the night which included electric hookup. Toilets and shower were very clean. Only a ten minute walk from the closest pub, The Loch Ness Inn. We only went for a drink but was very popular with people eating, and the food looked good. Takeaway only 15 mins down the road and just a little further is more shops and cafes.

  • 4/5

    A fairly new place and still a work in progress. Very nice and welcoming owner. Has everything needed, toilets shower and a kitchen with a microwave oven. Even some dvd's to borrow. Black and grey waste disposal and fresh water to take on board. £10 for the night, £5 just to use the facilities. Very much needed in the area.

  • 5/5

    Just used Dave’s rest.. it was perfect for us. Filled up with water, dumped dirty water, and had a hot shower. We aren’t staying the night so just £5 pounds for all facilities. Apparently lots of people not using the honesty box.. remember to pay to keep places like this going!

  • 3/5

    An "ok" place. Definitely not nice location/ nor atmosphere.s. however: considering there ain't many places like this it's a good spot to fill up and empty your tanks, even have a quick shower... No need to spend the night, but for the service aspect this place is great! The small kitchen only consists of a tap with hot water and a sink - the oven ain't working.

  • 4/5

    Buen sitio para pernoctar, tiene todos los servicios ya que en este pais hay pocas areas de este tipo.

  • 5/5

    Easy check in. Very good for the price, with shower, water refill, small kitchen and dish clean-up. If you come with kids, there are courtesy DVD's that will entertain them. I am happy for having found it.

  • 5/5

    Excellent Aire with lovely clean shower/toilets. Great location to walk into Drumnadrochit for food/drinks etc. We will be back!

  • 3/5

    L'accueil est très chaleureux. L'endroit promet énormément. La douche chaude, les wc, l'évier de cuisine avec eau bouillante et 4 taques électriques extra. Une aire de services avec eau potable - excessivement difficile à trouver hors camping dans les highlands - vidange des eaux grises et noires (k7), vraiment une aire comme on voudrait en trouver des dizaines dans ce pays très difficile pour bivouac
