Un petit parking pour petites voitures (pas grandes). Superbe plage à cinq minutes à pied. Sensationnel. Grand ferry et place pour le dîner.

J'ai passé la nuit ici sans aucun problème, le garde forestier local est venu et nous a juste donné des dépliants sur le camping sauvage.

Il y a des toilettes publiques gratuites à 3 min en voiture/15 min à pied du parking. Montez simplement la route de gravier sur laquelle vous êtes venu et tournez à droite, environ 1 km plus loin, il y a des toilettes publiques sur votre gauche.

Il y a un signe : Pas de camping de nuit !

A small parking lot for small cars (not large). Stunning beach five minutes walk away. Sensational. Large ferry and place for dinner.

Stayed here overnight without any problems, the local ranger came over and just gave us some leaflets about wildcamping.

There is a free public toilet 3 min drive/15 min walk from the car park. Just go up the gravel road you came on and turn right, about 0.7 miles further there is a public toilet on your left.

There's a sign: No overnight camping!

Ein kleiner Parkplatz für kleine Autos (nicht groß). Atemberaubender Strand, fünf Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Sensationell. Große Fähre und Platz zum Abendessen.

Ich habe hier ohne Probleme übernachtet, der örtliche Ranger kam vorbei und gab uns nur ein paar Broschüren über Wildcamping.

Eine kostenlose öffentliche Toilette befindet sich 3 Autominuten bzw. 15 Gehminuten vom Parkplatz entfernt. Gehen Sie einfach die Schotterstraße hinauf, auf der Sie gekommen sind, und biegen Sie rechts ab. Etwa 1,1 km weiter befindet sich auf der linken Seite eine öffentliche Toilette.

Es gibt ein Schild: Kein Übernachtungscamping!

Un pequeño estacionamiento para autos pequeños (no grandes). Impresionante playa a cinco minutos a pie. Sensacional. Ferry grande y lugar para cenar.

Me alojé aquí durante la noche sin ningún problema, el guardabosques local vino y nos dio algunos folletos sobre la acampada salvaje.

Hay un baño público gratuito a 3 minutos en coche/15 minutos a pie del aparcamiento. Simplemente suba por el camino de grava por el que vino y gire a la derecha, aproximadamente 0,7 millas más adelante, hay un baño público a su izquierda.

Hay un letrero: ¡No acampar durante la noche!

    Very flat and the calves are super friendly and come over for petting! Was quite busy when we were there.

  • 5/5

    Parfait, plage à cinq minutes. Assez de place pour plusieurs camping cars

  • 5/5

    Nous nous sommes installés avec notre camping car sans difficulté. Nous étions 3 campings cars et 4 vans. Nuit tranquille à côté de cette belle plage balayée par le vent.

    Beautiful spot with a level gravel car park. The stunning sandy beach is down a sandy trail on a hill and takes about 5 minutes. The road into the car park has many potholes but if you take it slow, it is fine - even in a motorhome. Bins provided but no other facilities. There are public toilets available 15 minute walk away and these are open 24 hours.

    Lovely little spot located close to the beach. Quiet and tucked away. No signage to say you can’t stay overnight & we shared the space with a few others who were very quiet and respectful of the area. Gravel road. Space for around 6 motor homes if parked considerately. A few dog walkers passing by to use the beach - which is beautiful.

    Stayed here overnight with no issues. Good reception, a couple of bins but no other facilities. A nice free spot to stay when exploring the north coast.

    Mega Platz, sehr ruhig und eine fantastische Aussicht. Der Ranger war da und hat uns Broschüren gegeben. Super nett. Haltet den Platz sauber. Mülleimer vorhanden.

    Lovely Stop, stunning beach just over the dunes, parking for maybe 4-5 cars/small vans, quite a track to get down to the car park! Bins were full when we were there, please take your rubbish with you instead of piling it on top!!

    Really nice spot to park up for the beach. The Highland Ranger called by and gave us some useful leaflets. He had no concerns with us parking here. The car park is clearly marked as beach parking , not just for fishermen as a previous commenter said. Lovely beach to enjoy.

  • 4/5

    No gate, no lock. Two new looking cattle grids. Short bumpy gravel road. Car park quite leaning, but official parking for the gorgeous beach.

  • 1/5

    The gate going down to the beach is now padlocked so no access. Gutted as was looking forward to this stopover.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful spot! Right next to a golden sand beach and rolling dunes. A little windy but nothing major would highly recommend.

  • 5/5

    Good stop over. Nice and quiet. Spoke to a local who had no issue with us stopping over. Nice walk to the beach

  • 4/5

    Lovely spot with great views and the beach is just over the dunes. Quite sloping towards the bottom of the carpark. Us and 2 other vans for the night, very peaceful and just the sound of the sea. Rubbish bins available.

    Beautiful stay overnight over looking the river. Bins available for ALL rubbish. Met the highland ranger who was more than happy for us to stay and gave us a leaflet on responsible wild camping. Us and two more campers there, plenty of space. Great Walk around the beach (which was stunning)

  • 5/5

    Loved this stop over. Peace and quiet, stunning beach just outside the door. Seals playing around in the shallow sea water. Cracking!

  • 5/5

    Superb, secluded spot great to just open the back door and let the dogs run free

  • 1/5

    The dunes are now full of human waste due to entitled campers.

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot, beach is great, was quite busy though, a few campers and cars with people tenting near the beach.

  • 1/5

    Stop freeloading, this is a car park for the local fishermen who I believe are planning to put in a height restricter to prevent freeloading campervans accessing their car park. Can't say I blame them when there is a campsite a mile away.

  • 5/5

    A lovely spot, flat and good signal if you need it. went for a walk on the beach in the morning as it was a gorgeous spot. car park got a bit busy in the morning but still peaceful at night for as

    Great little spot though a little exposed if it's windy. Quiet and flat with lovely views and a short walk to an amazing beach.
