Fait partie de l'essai Forestry and Land Scotland Stay the Night 2022. Parking calme à côté d'une forêt, il n'y a pas de maisons ou de grandes rues autour. sentiers pédestres à travers la forêt à côté de vous. Certainement génial avec les chiens. Le matin en été, pas mal de gens se garent ici pour se promener mais tout le monde était vraiment sympathique.

Part of the Forestry and Land Scotland Stay the Night trial 2022.
Quiet parking next to a forest, there aren't any houses or big streets around. walking paths through the forest next to you. Definitely great with dogs.
In the morning in summer quite a few people park here to take walks but everyone was really friendly.

Teil des Forestry and Land Scotland Stay the Night Trials 2022. Ruhiger Parkplatz neben einem Wald, es gibt keine Häuser oder große Straßen in der Nähe. Spazierwege durch den Wald neben Ihnen. Mit Hunden bestimmt super. Im Sommer parken hier morgens ziemlich viele Leute zum Spazierengehen, aber alle waren sehr freundlich.

    Basic but ok for a quiet night.

  • 5/5

    Sehr ruhig mit Aussicht. Nicht von der Hillfoods Road (Straße für Wohnmobile und Camper Vans gesperrt) anfahren sondern Airthrey Road in Bridge of Allan.

  • 5/5

    Very quiet spot, there were 4 other vans and us on the night we stayed. The road is narrow steep but vans will get up it with no problem. Great views to wake up to.

  • 5/5

    A very quiet car park with a level hard surface and lovely views. Great walks into the forest to the reservoir. Handy for Stirling, if you go into town try the park and ride, it’s free!

  • 5/5

    Super Stellplatz für eine Nacht. Ruhig und schöne Spaziergänge in der Nähe. Am besten über Kenilworth Road anreisen, da die andere Straße für größere Autos schwierig sein kann. Eine Gebühr muss per App bezahlt werden.

  • 3/5

    Arrived at night to a car park full of ‘boy racers’ who didn’t welcome our presence. Stayed elsewhere but drove back for breakfast the next morning - amazing views and lovely woodland walks. Think we were just unlucky or it’s not a spot for an overnight stay.

  • 5/5

    Great location, flat car park, great view. Can’t ask for anything else.

  • 5/5

    Ruhiger Ort… Bezahlung umständlich, wenn man die App nicht downloaden kann…

  • 5/5

    Wunderbarer Ort, relativ ruhig und Platz für 8 Fahrzeuge.

  • 4/5

    Pay via app, 7,- No facilities, but lovely place. Quite steep and narrow road to reach it. During daylight pretty busy with local dog-walkers, but all friendly people. During night time a quiet spot, max 8 campers.

  • 5/5

    Place pour 8 camping-cars. 7£ la nuit. En bordure de forêt, au calme.

  • 5/5

    prima plek lekker rustig en mooi uitzicht. let op kost 7,40 pond. mooie wandelingen in de omgeving

  • 5/5

    Parfait spot ! Au calme. Nous étions 4 campervan ou camping car. Il y a des tables de pique-nique , une belle vue sur le Loch. Selon le sens du vent, nous sommes bien protégés. Attention petite route avec très forte pente pour y accéder.

  • 5/5

    What a lovely spot! So quiet! The only thing you could hear were birds and a bit of wind through the trees. Perfect sleep. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5

    Great spot, very quiet with a few other vans. No forestry commission signs and does not register on the app so stayed for free. Good for one night although quite remote, good for the local hills.

  • 5/5

    Excellent spot for a one night stopover with enough room for 8 Motorhomes/campervans and flat with plenty of walks starting from the car park. It is quiet a steep climb to the car park but plenty of passing places. From the 01st Apr - 31st Oct 2023 there will be a £7 overnight charge through the stay for the night forestry scheme which is payable through the App.

  • 5/5

    Overnight scheme Sign no longer there, but no restrictions. Lovely quiet park up with stunning views. Full of nature, Walks in forest, owls hooting and horses in field. Road little steep on approach and single track but passing places.

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot in the woods. Road into it is not for the faint hearted even from Bridge of Allan side, but plenty of space. Busy with dog walkers during the day and cars coming and going till after 1am, but no noise and didn’t disturb us.

  • 5/5

    Great spot, close to town but totally quiet and peaceful. As others have said, accessed up a steep bit of single track but we made it ok in a RWD Van. Three or four vans I think overnight, but no mess left behind. Got mobile signal enough to watch movies on our tablet.

  • 5/5

    Great stop for the night, super handy for visiting Stirling. Be aware it should only be approached from Bridge of Allan/ Stirling University side as entry from Logie Kirk is hazardous with warning sign saying no campervans. Approach is steep but our LWB Sprinter managed no problems.

  • 5/5

    An excellent place for a quiet night surrounded by nature. It is a very steep approach up from the town but we managed it and it was worth it. There ended up being 5 vans I think overnight plus us. We didn’t notice any rubbish around. Hopefully this spot will remain available as in the spring and summer it must be marvellous. Our mobile provider is EE and we watched our tv ok.

  • 5/5

    Mooie plek! De weg er naar toe was enigszins uitdagend (motorhome 7,5mtr, 2,4 mtr breed), maar het is een hele fijne plek om te overnachten. Rustig, in de natuur ondanks dichtbij de stad.

  • 5/5

    Great place to stay. Quiet and on the door step of a beautiful walk that gives stunning views of Stirling. Big enough for several motor homes (there are 5 here currently). A good find.

  • 5/5

    In love with this spot for 2 nights. Steep and narrow road up but worth it! Pretty level on the long back edge of car park. Beaut view from car park and trails through forest. Slow traffic of dog walkers throughout day. Several other campers every night but everyone quiet, tidy and respectful. Easy 10 minute drive down into Stirling. You drive past the beaut Wallace monument too.

  • 5/5

    Nice place in the nature. Almost level and wind protected. Getting there is much better by the Sheriffmuir road from the south-west

  • 4/5

    Mooi uitzicht, gezellige plaats om de nacht te verblijven . Wegje ernaartoe was een uitdaging maar zeker de moeite waard .

  • 5/5

    Gut für eine Nacht. Netter angrenzender Wald zum Spazierengehen. Wir kamen spät am Abend und fanden noch ausreichend Platz für unseren Van.

  • 5/5

    Very popular spot. We only managed to get a space because my husband has a blue badge, otherwise the car park was full. We had a quiet and comfortable night there.

  • 5/5

    Un parking en medio de la naturaleza. Terreno mas o menos nivelado, dependiendo del sitio. Mucho sitio.llegamos a las 6pm y quedaban pocos situo, a lo largo de la tarde empezaron a llegar más vans y se fueron metiendo en huecos.

  • 5/5

    Sense serveis, però un lloc molt agradable per passar la nit. Està permès pernoctar entre les 18h i les 10h

  • 5/5

    Très joli spot ! Calme, facile d’accès, plat, proximité immédiate d’une jolie forêt et belle vue sur la droite du parking. Tables de pique-nique sur le site. Attention cependant, emplacement très prisé et ça se bouscule dès 18h00 en saison ! Il y a cependant de la place pour une dizaine de vans et/ou camping car. Parfait pour une nuit étape !

  • 5/5

    Lovely quiet place. Gets very busy so get there early. Was packed by 7pm. Load of others coming and having to leave. Views are amazing if you go to the right of the car park.

  • 5/5

    Nuit ultra calme. Le GPS nous a fait passer par une route très raide et très étroite mais il y a un accès beaucoup plus facile sur une route plus large (passer devant l'université pour y accéder). Cimetière en contrebas avec robinet.

  • 5/5

    Great stop! quiet by night with ivernight camping allowed until 31 Oct 2022. steep narrow path to get to it so wouldn't suit a mega motorhome but vans are OK. plenty of 4g! dog walking arrive by about 8ish.

  • 5/5

    Parfait pour passer la nuit ! Calme et belle vue ! La réglementation est assez claire pour tout le monde, et du coup tout le monde les respectent !

  • 5/5

    Aparcamiento en plano para unos ocho vehículos grandes (camper/autocaravana) en medio de la naturaleza a las afueras de la ciudad. El acceso entre árboles es empinado pero se puede llegar en autocaravana perfectamente. El sitio es perfecto para pernoctar. Hay mesas de picnic y un sendero entre árboles precioso.

  • 5/5

    Grand parking au calme, à 10min du centre de Stirling, je recommande ! Il y a de la place pour au moins 20 véhicules

  • 5/5

    Fantastic location! There were about 5-6 other vehicles staying there that night as well. Definitely a more popular spot due to location, views, and space. We would gladly stay there again! Be careful coming up the road to the location, it gets a bit narrow in places!

  • 5/5

    Super spot dans la nature entouré par la forêt ! Règles : rester une nuit et ne pas revenir pendant 48h. Ne pas s’installer en mode camping entre 19h et 10h du matin. Très fréquenté en journée par des promeneurs. Très calme et agréable !

  • 5/5

    Great spot. great views, very quiet and sheltered from W wind. don't attempt the road from Blairlogie ☺️

  • 5/5

    quiet place for a night. good 4g.

  • 5/5

    Super Platz! Mülleimer und Sitzgruppen vorhanden und das Übernachten wird ausdrücklich erlaubt. Es war in der Nacht sehr still! Neben uns waren noch 5 weitere Camper vor Ort. Lediglich am Abend hat eine Britin gestört, die in ihrem Auto saß und am Handy spiele und die ganze Zeit über den Motor laufen ließ … Das haben wir hier übrigens schon mehrfach erlebt.

  • 4/5

    Nice spot. Busy in the day and some local youth in cars at around 11pm who turned up and immediately threw their rubbish out the window. No excuse but there isn’t a bin here. Also evidence of MH’s emptying their grey water on the ground. Please don’t do this! Spectacular views from Dumyat hill, an hours walk from the car park.

  • 5/5

    Agreed! Had a lovely walk here as well as very peaceful, wood full of birdsong. If only more of the Forestry Commissions would allow this. Thank you.

  • 5/5

    mooie omgeving, prachtige vergezichten! schitterende wandelingen. vismogelijkheid

  • 5/5

    Stayed the night on 14.05.2022. Great drive up to the car park, very scenic. Plenty of space, overnight there was only 5 other motor homes there. Good walking trail, beautiful views, picnic tables and bin. Part of the stay the night initiative from forestry Scotland so completely free. Really good :)

  • 5/5

    Stayed here 23/10/21 peaceful and it was nice to hear a Tawny owl and see bats flying around. a good night sleep was had.

  • 5/5

    Great spot, as others have said. very steep incline and one serious hairpin bend on the road if you approach from the Hillsfoot Road side so better to come from the A9 if you're concerned or a bigger vehicle

  • 5/5

    Nice woodland parking spot. Peaceful with beautiful views. Few benches with metal plates to have the stove on.

  • 5/5

    Great place for the night.

  • 5/5

    Abenteuerliche Anfahrt (schmal, kaum PassingPlaces und teilweise große Steigung), aber der Platz lohnt sich dafür… Internet mit leichten Einbußen vorhanden… TOP

  • 4/5

    Part of the Stay the Night Forestry commision scheme. A good night's sleep. 5 vans on a Saturday night. A nice circular 1/4 mile walk through woods for stretching dogs legs. No real view from area but secluded and private. Dropped a star as car park had people coming and going til late. Think it might be a local dogging spot.

  • 5/5

    Nice area to stay the night. It is part of Scotlands National Trust Campervan scheme where you can stay the night if in a self contained van. Check out their website. There were three other campervan/ motor homes here. No issues. reasonably busy with dog walkers until 11pm. A few walks also and a nice view. I would stay again.

  • 5/5

    Great spot in an airy but secluded forest car park. Steep narrow access road but plenty of space at top. Pretty busy with walkers but no issues.

  • 5/5

    Brilliant stay over, very quiet a couple of more campers on there.

  • 5/5

    Great spot. Forestry trial allowing overnight stays. Quiet, with a couple of other vans and a few dog walkers. Windy road but manageable unless in a very large van.

  • 5/5

    Great spot for an overnight stay. Arrived late but got a spot. Very peaceful.

  • 5/5

    Great spot and part of the Forestry and Land Stay a Night campaign so motorhomes and campervans are welcome between 1800-1000

  • 5/5

    Great spot, lovely view. Steep twisty hill to access but no issues. 4 other campers there with us but very quiet area. There is a sign saying motorhomes and camper and with their own toilet are welcome to stay one night.

  • 4/5

    This a great place for a nights stay over on your way up to the Highlands and good access to Stirling Castle and the William Wallace Monument. It is a large area for vans and campers (albeit trickier for the larger ones) the road leading to it is twisty and I personally would take anything bigger than a van up for just for ease of navigating it. Frequent by dog walkers all morning and most of the day but all friendly with no issue. One thing we experienced was cars coming and going until midnight, think it is a local hook up area so be aware it isn’t the quietest but we had no issue and left in the morning.

  • 3/5

    Good overnight spot despite narrow, twisty access lanes. Views and walks from car park. However, we were there during weekend and despite the current rules regarding covid-19 in Scotland’s central belt, there were numerous cars pulling in for most of the evening and early morning.......

  • 5/5

    Tres sympathique, par contre contrairement au commentaire précédent le réseau 4G est trés mauvais (free et orange).

  • 5/5

    Stayed here over the night. Place is big about 20 camper . There were 6. Quiet, no problems. Good 4 g

  • 5/5

    Road was tight for large Motorhome but worth it, very quiet lovely with views 3 campers all night, great spot for Wallace Monument and the Castle.

  • 5/5

    Lovely Park up for the night 01/10/20. Very popular with other vans, 6 others here tonight. Quiet throughout the night. Gets busy with dog walkers/runners from 7am. Full 4G and phone signal. No services. Fantastic Views across Stirling.

  • 5/5

    Habe hier von Sonntag auf Montag eine sehr ruhige und erholsame Nacht verbracht. Schöne Aussicht (Hügel und Stirling) und Möglichkeiten für einen abendlichen Spaziergang.

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot. Very busy with local walkers, so, large vans please park considerately so as not to hog space. There are more parking bays on side of road 100 meters away. There are 2 roads to get up here, both are narrow, steep, single track with passing places, Sherrifmuir Road from the A9 is the better way up than from the B998.

  • 4/5

    A cracking view, lovely woodland area and close to the fabled devils bucket / sherrifmuir paradise pools as well as a starting point for walking up dumyat. However, a frequented car park until around midnight at the weekend and early morning walkers. No problems at all but we prefer a quieter spot for total privacy.

  • 4/5

    Google maps and copilot both suggested a very tricky road to get here—one that would not have been navigable if another car had been coming from the opposite direction. We’re trying the other road tomorrow morning to see if it’s any easier. Otherwise it’s a lovely spot, quiet or occasioned by friendly people.

  • 2/5

    Very tight to get to in a larger set up. arrived 10.30 at night, loads of cars and locals. Didnt feel comfortable at all. decided to move on. very pretty.

  • 4/5

    Great night sleep. reasonably level aswell. was very very busy in the morning though with walkers up the dumyat hill.

  • 5/5

    Super vue, endroit calme, proche de stirling, de la place pour plusieurs voitures et campingcar éventuellement. site de depart de marche, les gens viennent le matin pour se promener. très sympa.

  • 4/5

    Super endroit calme avec une super vue. Attention, pour les camping car, la route d'accès est étroite. Nous vous conseillons l'accés par Sheriffmuir road, un peu plus large.
