Parking du Highland Rugby Club. Un local nous a conseillé de nous garer ici plutôt que sur le spot de Bught Road (près du skate park) car les voyageurs s'étaient installés à proximité et la police avait beaucoup circulé. Vous pouvez toujours voir les voyageurs de cet endroit mais il est bien éclairé et calme la nuit. Nous avons vérifié avec un membre du personnel et ils ont confirmé que ce serait OK - même si j'éviterais les week-ends car il est probablement occupé avec des matchs. Aucune installation, bien que le public soit libre dans le parc voisin de Whin. Environ 30 minutes à pied du centre-ville par un joli sentier au bord de la rivière. Remarque: le parking de la base de loisirs à proximité a des restrictions sur le stationnement de nuit dans un véhicule adapté pour dormir, alors ne vous y garez pas par erreur, nous ne voulions pas le risquer.

Car park of the Highland Rugby Club. We were advised by a local to park up here rather than the Bught Road spot (near the skate park) as travellers had moved in nearby and the police had been around a lot. You can still see the travellers from this spot but it is well-lit and quiet at night. We checked with a staff member and they confirmed it would be OK - though I would avoid weekends as it probably gets busy with matches. No facilities, though public loos at nearby Whin Park. Approx 30min walk into city centre via lovely riverside path. Note: the Leisure Centre car park nearby has restrictions on parking overnight in a vehicle adapted for sleeping, so don’t park there by mistake, we didn’t want to risk it.

Parkplatz des Highland Rugby Club. Wir wurden von einem Einheimischen angewiesen, hier oben zu parken und nicht an der Bught Road (in der Nähe des Skateparks), da Reisende in der Nähe eingezogen waren und die Polizei viel unterwegs war. Sie können die Reisenden immer noch von diesem Ort aus sehen, aber nachts ist es gut beleuchtet und ruhig. Wir haben uns bei einem Mitarbeiter erkundigt und er hat bestätigt, dass es in Ordnung ist - obwohl ich Wochenenden vermeiden würde, da es wahrscheinlich mit Streichhölzern beschäftigt ist. Keine Einrichtungen, obwohl öffentliche Loos im nahe gelegenen Whin Park. Ca. 30 Minuten zu Fuß in die Innenstadt über einen schönen Flussweg. Hinweis: Auf dem nahe gelegenen Parkplatz des Freizeitzentrums gelten Einschränkungen für das Parken über Nacht in einem zum Schlafen geeigneten Fahrzeug. Parken Sie also nicht versehentlich dort, wir wollten es nicht riskieren.

    Nice car park to park in, lots of spaces, 1 part does have a pay and display machine, but the other bigger area does not. Nice and quiet does have a big van and car staying there for long time which makes place look little like camp site. Some spots are level, not need to level unless really need to. No water/toilets does have clothes recycle though

  • 4/5

    Great spot. Level and quiet at night. Road noise in the morning . Thanks to the rugby club!

  • 5/5

    we arrived on a club night so the carpark was full, we found a parking but moved after all the cars left at about 9pm. Nobody disturbed us, 4 other vans in the carpark. Lovely and quite at night, slept well. Recommend.

  • 5/5

    Great wee spot right at the rugby club in between it and the botanic gardens. Really quiet night, just dog walkers in the morning and 20-30 min walk right to the centre of town. Had a good nights uninterrupted sleep and an easy way out in the morning back onto the road

  • 4/5

    Au top-gratuit- sans commodité - quasiment pas de bruit - merci aux sportifs du stade de nous accueillir pour la nuit

  • 4/5

    En toute discrétion, nous nous sommes installés vers 22h après une bière dans un pub d’Inverness. Nuit calme avec quelques camping cars et même des ouvriers qui dorment dans leur camion. Petit parcours agréable à faire à pied ou à vélo. Toilettes à proximité.

    Husband went into the club to ask if okay to stay the night and was advised yes. However I had emailed the President of the club to check and he replied to say the council are urging not to allow overnight stays and to stay in designated caravan parks. All areas around here either have height limit or advise no overnight parking so they are cracking down on it.

  • 5/5

    Great spot for an overnight stop. 30mins walk into Inverness. Easy access to the Caledonian tow path (great for bikes).

  • 5/5

    Quiet and safe. Close to town. Great!

  • 5/5

    Great spot. I parked here for 2 nights with no issues. Good signal and internet so I could do a couple hours of work. Can also use the gym next door for £8.50 (showers included)! A little road noise at night but a perfect spot other than that.

  • 5/5

    Very good spot. Not far from the shops and river walks. We sated 1 night no problems.

  • 4/5

    Parcheggio molto spazioso, frequentato da molto camperisti i bagni sono disponibili sono in orari di apertura del centro sportivo di notte la zona è tranquilla, ma di mattina molto frequentata e anche vicino a un autostrada

  • 5/5

    Lugar tranquilo para dormir, y siempre estarás acompañado. Por el camino del rio se llega a la ciudad y es un bonito paseo. Los baños están a 1 min andando en Whin Park y muy bien cuidados. No están abiertos todo el día, pues cuando llegamos estaban cerrados, pero no sé el horario (quizá 8-17).

  • 5/5

    Grand parking propre, avec beaucoup d’espace, peu de camping car ou van pour y dormir, et relativement calme ! La piscine a côté avec l’accès aux douches (voir même au spa pour 10,05£) est un réel plus !

  • 4/5

    ottimo per una notte di rientro da loch ness, tranquillo, frequentato da parecchi camperisti, sicuro

  • 4/5

    Lieu calme, semble sans danger. Tres nombreux emplacements. A 2 pas du centre ville. Accès direct à la piscine de la ville. Très bien si vous avez des vélos , piste cyclable jusqu’au centre.

  • 4/5

    Un bon endroit pour passer 1 ou 2 nuit calme. Beaucoup de camping car on se sent en sécurité.

  • 5/5

    tranquilo y gratis lugar para dormir o descansar mucho espacio para autocaravanas POR FAVOR ,dejarlo todo recogido y limpio sino lo prohibirán como en el resto de los sitios

  • 5/5

    Great spot. Safe. A lot of camper vans parked in here day and night. Very likely the Council, or the club will shutdown this place soon because to me, people abuse and start parked here for ages. Remember this is a Rugby park... To any end, photo number five will show the noisy stuff people talk about, and is true. Shower at the laisure center for 4.75 per person is bit abusive in my opinion.

  • 5/5

    É um local extremamente calmo, com o centro de lazer de Inverness mesmo ao lado, onde se pode tomar banho por 4£.

  • 5/5

    Wir haben einen sicheren Platz inmitten von anderen Wohnmobilen gehabt. Schön gelegen und ruhig. Bitte den Platz sauber halten damit er vielen einen so guten Schlaf schenkt.

  • 4/5

    Parked up on completing the nc500 , alongside another 10 campers, safe location with just a 30 min riverside walk into town centre

  • 4/5

    Parking très bien situé. Proche du centre ville. Poubelle et WC à proximité. Parfait pour une nuit.

  • 5/5

    Emplacement idéale pour une nuit en pleine ville, nous sommes arrivées en soirée et reparties dès le matin, ce que je conseille pour ne pas déranger les locaux.

  • 1/5

    Please stop parking here its a Rugby Club Car park for users of the rugby club, it is not a campsite !! There are plenty of campsites and car parks that you can pay for and use else where.

  • 5/5

    Molt bé per dormir i per visitar la ciutat

  • 5/5

    Es más agradable de lo que se ve en las fotos. Pasamos varias noches y fue muy tranquilo. No hay servicios.Muy bien situado. Puedes llegar al centro de la ciudad paseando por el río. 30 minutos.

  • 5/5

    Très bien pour une nuit! Pas de panneau d’interdiction. Il y avait déjà plusieurs vans/camping-car et aucun bruit!

  • 4/5

    Decent parking space - plenty of room in a fairly quiet car park. Surrounding area is lovely - (free) botanic gardens, swimming pool/sport centre, cafes, river walk, grass areas for children/dogs etc. Public toilets a few hundred yards away too.

  • 4/5

    We stayed here couple times on way past inverness. It safe area but with a couple of issues it's very busy with vans which not issue if can get space. One bit of advise park as far from rugby park as can as they have loud extractor fan that can. e heard to early hours.

  • 5/5

    très bien pour passer la nuit. au calme. A deux pas de la piscine, qui est très bien pour les enfants et pas chère.

  • 5/5

    Great spot to park for free. Such a nice location and a lovely 30min walk into Inverness via Ness Islands. No facilities but there’s a public toilet a few hundred metres away by Whin Park (locked at night)

  • 4/5

    Nice place to park up for one night. No services though. Few campers when we arrived. Don’t park near the club as extractor fans on all night and quite loud.

  • 4/5

    Es ist halt ein Rugby Club Parkplatz, aber dafür sehr schön und total Nett von dem Club das er das toleriert (Trotz bei uns 15 WoMos). Wir hatten aber nichts schöneres und graderes in der Nähe gefunden.

  • 4/5

    Decent and safe enough for a good night's sleep. Arrived just after 6pm on a Wednesday, and it seems the kids football was just ending so you may want to wait until 6:30 as a lot of the cars will leave after that. A few other campers parked up so felt safe.

  • 4/5

    très bon endroit pour passer la nuit. Pas de commodité mais nuit calme.

  • 4/5

    Nice stop off close to the city, easy to find level ground in the large car park, perfect for a stop over to visit Inverness. No services except maybe pay for a shower at the sports centre/pool.

  • 4/5

    Al je het niet erg vind om een half uurtje te lopen dan is dit een hele mooie plek. ‘S nachts heerlijk rustig en ‘s morgens voor we zijn gegaan hebben we nog gebruik kunnen maken van het toilet in de koffie shop bij de bio gardens.

  • 5/5

    Wir haben dort die Nacht verbracht. Sehr ruhig flach und entspannt. Auf den Parkplatz waren auch mehrere andere Camper. Einheimische die auf dem Sportplatz waren haben uns gesehen, aber haben nichts weiteres gesagt.

  • 5/5

    Quiet place for stay during the night. There were several motorhome. We felt safe and comfortable. Overnight there were lot of police cars going around the neighbourhood. We called a taxi to go out for a night in the town center and it was perfect, fast and easy. We left around 10am the day after. I do recommend if you are planning to stay in Inverness

  • 5/5

    Park up as far from the club house as you can, powerful extractor fans run constantly throughout the night. Well lit car park, felt safe, Bins on site. leisure centre 2 mins walk away, paid to use the shower, £2.50 over 60 discount.Botanical garden 1 min walk away. Beautiful walk along the Caledonian canal via the subway 5mins away. It looks like the circus is in town on the approach in.

  • 4/5

    Introduction correct. Slightly more than 5 spaces. May need your levelling blocks in places. Hard standing, illuminating and felt safe. Very quiet. A good 30/35 min walk to centre along the river. Would be 5 star if had facilities. Looking at the other locations for the night this is the one for me and it’s free. Numerous eateries in town plus 3 major supermarkets in the vicinity.

  • 3/5

    Parking du rugby club. Il y avait 3 autres véhicules caravane / van. Nuit plutôt calme excepté un moteur du bâtiment du club qui se met en route de temps à autre. Une fois les portes et fenêtres fermées on ne l’entendait plus. Attention dans Inverness, tous est fermé tôt … sauf les pubs !

  • 5/5

    Great spot! Messaged the Rugby club to double check we could still stay there - quick reply that it was fine and any problems to pop in and see them.

  • 4/5

    Great place to stop. flat and quiet

  • 5/5

    parking du highland rugby club, nous y avons passé la nuit. endroit très calme et très peu fréquenté. à 20 mn à pieds du centre ville en passant par le bord de l'eau

  • 4/5

    Nous avons passé une nuit, il y a beaucoup de place, la police est passée, nous a laissé tranquille.

  • 4/5

    emplacement calme, avec poubelles, pas de circulation, idéal pour une nuit. il faut bien suivre le point gps car au bout d'une série de rues.

  • 5/5

    Seems to be one of the silentest spots in the area without overnight signs. There is the botanical park nearby and the skatepark as well. Sick spot

  • 2/5

    no height or overnight restrictions so we were able to park for one night but very well lit and fancy rugby club. some people might like this but it made us feel exposed and uncomfortable like we shouldn't be there.

  • 4/5

    Stayed here last night. Very quiet. It has rubbish bins and good 4G signal. Short walk to river and toilets. Leave no trace.

  • 4/5

    Good spot to park for the night with no height restrictions, stayed on a Sunday, left Monday morning and had no issues. Short walk to River Ness/Ness Islands which are beautiful and peaceful. Toilets at the nearby park but average quality, woman's toilet wouldn't flush! Toilet had no opening times listed but appeared to be closed from 8pm-8am roughly.

  • 4/5

    Highland Rugby Club Car Park. Slight slant but good hard standing carpark. No overnight or height restrictions. No toilets, a local bin, parked up here with about 4 other Campervans. Would suit self-contained only. Minimal road noise. Overall a decent spot.

  • 3/5

    We stayed over night on bught Rd at the side of the football pitches next to the river. No problems 4 other vans next to us. We stayed the following night at the bught campsite directly across the field.
