Vue magnifique de la baie de Fort William et Ben Nevis. Emplacement pas très large et terrain en pente donc cales obligatoires ! Poubelle à disposition. Le soir où nous y étions, un employé communal est venu installer un panneau interdisant le camping mais nous a dit que ça ne concernait pas les camping-cars, seulement les tentes. Ne pas se garer devant la barrière d’accès à l’espace vert. Reveillé à 5h30 par les moutons !

Sehr toller Platz mit gigantischer Aussicht auf den Ben Nevis. Wir haben eine ruhige Nacht verbracht. Der Platz ist etwas schräg, wir standen im oberen Bereich da geht's.

Buenas vistas y lugar tranquilo. Tal vez un poco de viento y poco “cubierto” si surge la llamada de la naturaleza, pero no hay nadie…

Stayed here last night . Space for 2 large vans . Remains of a burnt car stop space for 3 vans . Stunning views and great area for kids to safely play . .. sloped ground and cars are up and down regularly so very noisy and we got settled and by 9pm is when the loud exhaust and boys walking around talking started . Then at 10pm had move on as this is when knock the van and hide started .Don’t stay

Don't stay here if you want a good night's sleep... we were disturbed by local boy racers on three occasions all the way till midnight. I'd have moved if my daughter wasn't already asleep. They even went as far as to sit and talk right beside the van as well as rev their cars up and down the road. Seems from the comments, they do this often so don't risk it.

Good spot with a view of Ben Nevis. Stayed here the night before we climbed - 15 min drive from North Face car park. Friendly farmer who noted to us to ensure we were next to the fence as he drives his tractor up early morning.

Absolutely stunning views of Ben Nevis and the Loch. Popular with people walking their dogs and a couple of people came to eat a take away and look at Ben Nevis (it was a clear night). Very quiet in the evenings. The sheep woke me but fine if you want an early start to the day.

Nice place, in front of a small playground with benches. Parking for a good number of van on concrete. But woken in the night by footsteps next to the van. It turned out to be sheep. Woken later by banging on the roof. Crows pecking at the solar panel. The wildlife is the only annoyance.

Lovely view over Fort William. We were the first there at about 6pm (parked up early due to bad weather), and were joined by one other van. Unfortunately we were also joined by the odd noisy BMW playing very loud thumping music, but they cleared off by 10pm. Also rudely awakened at 2am by about 100 sheep surrounding the van and itching themselves on it, which gave the dog the hump...

Lovely spot we had a bbq with a great view but then unfortunately was woken in the night by noisy locals who thought it was funny to knock on the van next to us and run off. After seeing this we decided to move on in the middle of the night. Would not recommend for over night.

Ending up moving along with another van after a large group lit a bonfire in the view point, blasting their tunes!

Nice quiet spot with lovely view. Room for maybe 3 vehicles but we only one when we stayed. A couple of cars came in early evening to watch sunset but didn’t stay long.

Tres belle vue, super emplacement pour un pique nique, sentier pour jolie ballade a proximité.

Très belle vue sur le Loch au réveil ! Endroit spacieux pour deux vans, poubelle à proximité En bord de route avec un peu de passage, proche de Fort William

We stayed there 29/10/19 found this spot through this app perfect view point and did a one night overnight stay. Passing local traffic but no problems. Advised Fri or Sat nights may attract younger drivers visiting spot late into night

Conforme à la description. Les emplacements ne sont pas plats. Nous étions 2 campings-car, 2 voitures et 1 moto pour la nuit. L'endroit commence à être un peu trop connu. Pas de passage sur la route la nuit et très peu le matin.

Sehr schöner Platz. Ruhig, mit tollem Ausblick. Mülleimer leider völlig überfüllt. Midges leider unerträglich

Endroit agréable, parking en pente, un peu de passage mais nuit calme. Table de pique-nique et poubelles. Nous n'avons pas eu de midges !

Schöner Platz, nachts ruhig. Man hat eine tolle Aussicht auf Fort William und Loch Linnhe. Gerade wenn es dunkel wird kann man dort klasse Fotos machen!

Only room for 3 vehicles max. So get in early! Very lovely spot.

Very nice view. Had company by three other campervans (and there was no room for more). Tip: walk up the hill through the sheep pasture and get the most amazing 360 view over Fort William and the surrounding valleys.

Point de vue sur le Ben Nevis et le loch, enclos aménagé pour pique-nique et bancs, poubelle. Ancienne route militaire peu fréquentée, mais emplacement de tirs de nuit, plus pacifique.

Was OK. Road was oddly busy and as you’re right next to it the noise was quite intrusive. Didn’t get much sleep. Worth persevering for the view in the morning.

Super Aussicht über die Seen. Mülleimer vor Ort. Circa 2 Stellplätze. Gelegentlich kommen Autos und Fußgänger vorbei.

Parfait, mais un peu de passage, même dans la nuit. Super vue.

Beautiful place, 3 campervans Maximum. Popular so try and get there early! Great view. Quiet! You will need blocks to even out your camper. Area is not straight

Ottima sosta panoramica, parcheggio solo per massimo tre camper medio piccoli. Strada per arrivare con forte pendenza.

Stunning location, arrived 4pm and almost no room mid week. Beautiful view with a few racing cars before sunset but quiet after dark.

Nice spot. Can imagine it may be different during weekends. The road up there is very steep!! A woman slept spent the night in her car. Woke up in the middle of the night, thinking somebody was trying to enter the camper... just sheep, scratching their backs under the camper.

Great Spot!however the following made us leave in the middle of the night. First two cars showed up and a young lady got into the other car which then drove down the road, stayed 10min and then she came back to her car and both left.. at midnight a Police Car passed and a man entered the Camper behind us. finally later a third car turned off light and raced down the track with a screaming driver.

Great location just on the outskirts of Fort William. Stayed during Storm Hectar so no youths to deal with :) also close to Morrison's for toilets!

Bon spot. Vue magnifique mais places limitées. Nous avons eu du vent et relativement beaucoup de circulation pour une route si petite.

Lovely spot with great views but well known by local youths in their cars so be prepared for a McDonald's litter pick in the morning!

Majestic spot. it seems to have the best 4g signal in town and until 9pm there was a constant stream of vehicles arriving to use their phones. Quiet at night and wonderful sunrise

Parfait spot dans les hauteurs de Fort William. Dommage, j'ai eu plein de nuages au réveil, mais un lieu à conseiller pour au maximum 3 voitures et 2 fourgons/camping-cars.

Awesome little spot, great views. Close to Cow hill walk. Sheep decided to bank on our van at night.

Pas vraiment un parking mais plutot un emplacement pour se croiser sur une petite route et de plus c'est un peu en pente.

Mooie picknickplaats met prachtig uitzicht ! Ideaal voor een leuk dagje/nachtje met de camper. Let wel op: hellende ondergrond.
