Enough room for a few vehicles

    Really decent sleep/stop over for the night. Only spent one night here but we weren’t disturbed once. I think 2 other camper vans shared the same space but it’s plenty big enough for around 10 vans atleast! Would definitely recommend.

    Very quiet place that’s pretty flat and has good reception with Three. Be aware, the road there is very potholed.

    Top Platz, genug Abstand zu anderen Vans, da große Fläche. Sehr ruhig. O2 und Vodafone Netz mit gutem Empfang.

    Super spot en nature. Très calme. Du réseau.

    Geweldige plek. Zo rustig. Eindeloos uitzicht. En mooi wandelgebied. We waren aanvankelijk de enige. Pas laat kwamen nog twee busjes. We hebben prima geslapen

    Parking en pleine nature, plat et silencieux. Parfait pour une nuit avec la nature et la vue autour. Nous n'avons vu passer qu'une voiture le matin. Très tranquille. Mouches et midges vous tiendront par contre compagnie !

    So peaceful, stayed the night and we were the only ones here - didn’t see anyone else or any work going on although it clearly has been as lots of trees have been cut down. Road up to the forest is long and very potholey. We parked at the spot through the gate which was level without shade. Good internet on EE (download good but upload slow).

    Like another commenter I continued up and left at the crossroads to an area that is off the road, although the road has almost no traffic anyways. total quiet and good views.

    Level, quiet, good 4G, and only 10 mins from the M74.

  • 5/5

    Albeit the pot holes are back, it's not that hard a drive, and it's worth travelling 10 minutes past the exposed edge of road grass site to reach this peaceful respite from the M74.

    Great night here but I have been using a spot turn left at the crossroad onto forest track and go about 500 yards there is another big parking area on the left with no traffic

    Wunderschöner Camping. Super Spaziergang mit dem Hund durch den Wald. Die Nacht war sehr ruhig. Am Morgen ein wenig Verkehr.

  • 5/5

    Very peaceful with forestry walks. Only two vehicles came past during the night. Couple of cars walking dogs early evening.

  • 5/5

    Great find. Little forestry car park, amazing views. Very quiet road, a little steep in places on approach. Loved hearing the owls and woodland walks are plenty. Will stay for night again if passing.

    Spent the night here - fine spot next to the forrest. Very silent, almost no cars. Very muddy on the parking lot, but we also had heavy rain so we missed out the morning walk in the forest. The pot holes are filled now so it was an easy drive there.

    Top! der Weg dorthin ist (wie wir finden) vollkommen in Ordnung, man muss halt n bisschen langsam fahren und aufpassen. Ebenerdiger großer Platz, teils geschottert, bei Regenwetter guter Untergrund, wir konnten mit den Hunden super spazieren gehen und haben sehr ruhig geschlafen und können den Platz nur empfehlen!

    One of my favourite spots so far- road to approach is fine, just go slow. Was quiet, beautiful surroundings, gorgeous view. I travel alone and it felt really safe. Saw lots of rainbows

    Perfect little overnight stop! Wild life galore all around you! Bumpy 3 mile road to get to it but if you like the sound of the wildlife and the owls twit twooing your like this stay

    Beautiful park up, sadly we were on route to Glencoe so didn’t stay more than a night but we will be returning! 1 other van when we arrived. The track is narrow and does have some pot holes but isn’t that bad, we still made it up in a 7.5m long motorhome. Plenty of passing places or drive up in the evening for less traffic. Watch out for frogs on the road at night, hundreds of them

    Nous avons passé une nuit le 15 août dans une superbe réserve naturelle au calme près d’un départ de sentier pour les promeneurs. La route est étroite mais accessible pour des camping-cars.

    most beautiful sunset, don’t think I have ever seen colours like that. it’s quiet, there are flies who are curious in the beginning and then leave, and no mosquitoes. I really liked it

    road up has been fixed so less than average amount of pot holes great phone 4g - voda lots of flying critters but all safely in bed by 9pm :) quiet no traffic flat and plenty of room for few vans obv no services

    En pleine forêt avec ballades à la clé. Très tranquille.

  • 5/5

    Very nice spot, quiet, forest walks and good reception. A bit bumpy as said in comments but nothing a van can’t handle in low gear.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here last night, lovely peaceful spot, loads of room and quite dry ground so not too bad with the beasties. Potholes not so bad, looks like there’s been recent repairs.

  • 5/5

    One of the best overnight spots we’ve used. Road is a little potholed but loads of passing places. Room for at least 8 vehicles. Wild, remote and quiet - just the way we like it! Plenty of wildlife interest too - Cuckoo, Crossbills, Redpolls, Tree Pipits …

  • 5/5

    Agree on the pothole road but as long as you are careful and take your time it’s fine. Road is single track but plenty passing places and it’s open enough so you see other vehicles coming. Nice and flat, very quiet spot.

  • 4/5

    Steep climb up pot holed Road for 3 miles cooler due to height well above Beattock & Moffat does the job

  • 4/5

    A beautiful and peaceful place to spend the night. However, Crooked Road leading up to the park up is a 3 mile long single track with passing places and huge potholes. It’s not busy so we were fine but worth knowing
