Very rough track, rubbish left there smelt like a public toilet. Maximum 3vans there were 6. People are thick it won’t be a stay the night in 2024 if treated like a latrine.

Stayed here overnight. The stars were incredible and we had the whole parking lot to ourselves. Parking costs £7 via the Forestry and Land Scotland's Stay the Night scheme. It's a beautiful place but beware there's no phone signal and the road up to it is single track and quite narrow in places.
sphvanrooij12/08/2022Mooie ruime en niet drukke plaats. Midden in de bossen en nabij een meertje. Vanaf de weg paar minuutjes naar deze overnachtingsplek. Plek voor 4 campers. Doodlopend, dus geen doorgaand verkeer. Harde ondergrond. Prachtige sterrenhemel! Onderdeel van de wandelroute ‘Murrays’ Birthplace Monument’.

A lovely place. Great views. Very quiet. Doing forestry works however only saw the log waggon twice. A large carpark with no facilities/bins however the road is quite bumpy. Lovely quiet spot and a bonus of no phone signal. Lovely walk from the car park to the Loch. No signs saying no overnight and no one bothered me parking up there.

I didnt stop overnight but did park up for lunch and a lovely walk with my dog. Bit bumpy forest commission track..just take it slow. not sure if overnight is possible. would be super quiet if it was.
