    Great little spot, got 4G. Gentle slope but nothing major. Picnic bench and nice walks as others have said.

    “gently sloping” said no one who ever parked here - tried parking here but as per dutch commentary below you really need a large bit of plastic cheese under the wheel to level your van-if you drive about 3 km south down the road and hang a right you’ll find a national trust placement and further away from main road plenty of parking lay-bys as you drive along.

    Goede plaats om te overnachten, de plaatsen zijn niet recht maar dat is te verhelpen. De weg is dichtbij maar snachts weinig last van. Wandeling beschikbaar v 2km in de bossen met speciale bomen (staat uitleg bij).

    All good in the hood, quiet and dog walkers in the morning

    Clôture verrouillée!

    A good little spot, issue being it's slopping so if you don't mind sleeping on a little slope it's perfect.

    Great spot, very sheltered from the wind! Picnic bench, woodland walks, enough room for a few vehicles.

    Just drove past as already camped elsewhere. This is a actually a great spot, the one star is more in reference to the people there tonight, there are now barbeque scars (at least 3) and somebodies got a canopy up with fairy lights which might look great for Insta but really isn't fair on the other campers! No doubt will soon become a no overnighter spot soon if people keep treating it this way!

    The one marked on here is too slopey even for me and I'm not bothered usually. The other car park is much better as a lot of people have already mentioned. Close to ullapool and close to the car park for the suspension bridge and the waterfall. Great midpoint for either.

    Great stop. Not far from road but quiet all night with very little traffic. Pitch black. Very cosy and safe. Nice walk in the Forrest with a Californian redwood! Huge! Oh, and a waterfall. And the car park further north is better. More secluded. Less exposed.

    Actually 2 parking spots a few hundred metres apart. The northerly one is a better, being a bit further from the road but both are good. Ideal for a night stop before driving to Ullapool for a ferry next morning. When approaching be aware that they appear suddenly with no warning.

    Good spot for a picnic, two tables and many slots for campervans. I’m giving 4/5 stars as no bins in the surroundings
