Situation en campagne sur l'A 85, emplacements gravillonnés, terrain plat. Bel environnement calme malgré la route, proche d'une rivière et d'une ancienne voie ferrée. Pas de service, juste trois tables de pique-nique. Ce site est réservé à une utilisation de jour.

Location in the countryside on the A 85, gravel pitches, flat land. Beautiful quiet environment despite the road, close to a river and an old railway. No service, just three picnic tables.

    Roughly 20 spaces. Recently redone. Picnic tables. Lovely View. Overnight is not shown on pricing however when you use the app it does give the option to stay overnight at £10 from 6pm to 10am, no advance booking. Must be self sufficient, no toilets etc.

    Great stopping point on the A85. Beautiful view of Ben Lui. Very reasonable pricing via the app! £1 for an hour and £3 all day. Looks like the parking has recently been updated with plenty of room for our 7m Motorhome. We only stopped to stretch our legs but could have spent more time by the river and explored a little more.

    Now can’t stay the night for some reason - makes no sense. They now also charge to park during the day. Another local area I now can’t spend my money. Makes zero sense.

    Not allowed to stay the night. Very busy during the day as it’s the starting point for the hike up Ben Lui. No signal on Vodafone.

    Lovely stop. Only stayed in morning for an hour but was able to park 7.4m motorhome at end ok to get out again! Got very busy by 11 and we’d have struggled to turn round by then. There were a couple of very big motorhomes that had been parked overnight and it would be lively. Barefoot river crossing to walk up to falls was great. New benches & picnic tables. No bins.

    Great stop away from the road with nice views. Very quiet. Good mobile coverage.

    Signed as Glen Lochy. Lots of walkers going up Ben Lui use car park. Nice stream and no midges. Would use again. It is one of the Stay the Night car parks, although not mentioned as such on the Forestry web site.

    Free parking in level gravel bays. Occasional road noise but a very scenic spot with picnic tables and a walk down to the river. Br prepared for lots of cars/walkers arriving early on a weekend.

    One of the new Forestry Commision 'Stay the Night' locations. Currently free, but £5 at some point in the future. No height barrier. Quiet night, but the occasional road noise. Also a train track nearby so the occasional train passing, but a lovely stop for the night with amazing views of the mountains and a walk down to the river. Great 4g signal on EE - was able to stream some tv shows!

    Great spot with beautiful views and picnic benches. Was quiet at night and there was another 4 campervans so felt safe. No height restrictions, free to park up and no facilities.

    Un peu bruyant et beaucoup de midges, mais sympa malgré tout. Et pratique lorsqu’on a pas pu avoir de permis pour Loch Lomond

    Sadly a rather new looking height barrier has been put up- must be less than 2.3m (unable to lift up barrier to get around this restriction). Looks like a lovely park up if you can fit however!

    Endroit très calme et très nature, à côté de la route. Très bonne nuit et très belle vue. Nous étions 2 voitures aménagées et 2 camping-cars et il restait de la place. Le matin, des randonneurs.

    Nous y avons dormi avec un autr camping-car. Très bien.
