    Perfect location-1 minute walk to the town and plenty options for takeaway. No hassles or anything to complain about. Right next to the river and great night sleep.

  • 5/5

    Great spot to sleep over. Free parking 6pm-8am (just been quiet and respectful). Right next to the river and theres a co-op just up the street and a bar/restaurant. Very quiet and peaceful. Lots of parking spots.

  • 4/5

    Une première nuit en van sur ce parking. Très calme même si c’est en centre ville. Proche rivière, très joli au matin. Payant à partir de 8h du matin. Il paraît qu’il faut tester la boulangerie du village !

  • 4/5

    Good spot right in the pretty part of town and beside the river. It is one of the town main car parks so not a place to linger and set up a proper camp in the daytime. Think they’re fine with overnight campervans so long as you’re subtle about it (the signs say no sleeping and no caravans) as they probs just want to avoid it becoming an unofficial camp site and overrun by big vehicles.

  • 4/5

    Quiet town car park. Signs says no caravans or sleeping/cooking. Nothing about no motor homes. Spaces are large car size. We’ve got a LWB sprinter and stayed the night with the rear wheels reversed up the curb and onto the grass at, some others were doing the same. Shorter vehicles fitted in the bays. 4 campers there the night we stayed. Not disturbed, seems the town is ok with overnighters.

  • 5/5

    Absolutely perfect spot for the night! Quiet, safe, very easy pull-off from highway. Several outdoor & indoor bar/restaurants within 2 minutes walk as well as a co-op grocery store that was open until 10pm. Parking sign requires payment only during day, starting at 8am. Sign says nothing about campervans, but does prohibit RV’s and trailers.

    Parking calme, bercé par le son de la rivière. Petit village écossais comme on aime. Un endroit juste exceptionnel à côté, un pub style guinguette donnant sur la rivière ! Simplement magique !

  • 5/5

    Lieu bucolique au bord d'une rivière, parking très propre, arboré et à proximité immédiate du petit centre ville. Poubelles disponibles sur place. Resto plein air style guinguette à côté, parfait pour une soirée agréable, boire un verre et manger dehors avec les enfants. S'endormir au son de la rivière, cet emplacement est juste parfait. Silencieux. A ne pas manquer.

  • 5/5

    Exactly as stated. A good few vans parked up over night (Saturday) but still plenty of spaces. Picnic benches and bins. No other facilities. Plenty of local places to eat and have a drink. Next to road but it was quiet over night. Free parking 6pm - 8am, plus no charge on a Sunday.

  • 5/5

    Nous étions 5 vans sur le parking. Il y a la terrasse d'un bar à côté, qui propose aussi à manger, pratique si on n'a pas envie de cuisiner ou besoin d'utiliser les toilettes. Pas de bruit la nuit cependant.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here twice now without any problems. Yesterday (Friday) there was music from the hotel garden next door so I was preparing myself for a restless night, but they stopped at 10pm so all good. Very quiet night

  • 4/5

    Am Tag sehr belebt, nachts aber sehr ruhig. Guter Ort zum Übernachten

  • 4/5

    We risked it, and came across no problems. Very quiet once everyone had left the nearby pubs. Ate in the fish & chip shop for tea which was really nice. The toilets at the other end of town are now 9-5 with 50p paid to an attendant so not available overnight.

  • 1/5

    Parking notice stipulates no sleeping, cooking etc.

  • 5/5

    A nice car park with lots of trees and the sound of the river. Lovely cafes and bakeries nearby. Some people coming and going until late but overall peaceful. Free from 6pm to 8am, £4.80 for a full day.

  • 5/5

    Had a very nice stay here! Nice to listen to the river nearby! Take a walk through Dunkeld and see the old cathedral and one of the oldest and biggest trees!

    Sehr schöner ruhiger Platz. Bars und Restaurants in der Nähe. Eine schöne kleine Stadt. Öffentliche Tolitten in einem Hotell ca 300meter in der Stadt. Mülltonnen direkt am Platz ebenso wie Picknickbänke. Von 6Pm bis 8 AM kostenlos.

  • 5/5

    Good place to park arrived at 12:15 bought a 10hour £4.50 ticket as we were staying all day this was valid to 12:15.Did see wardens going around at night and 8am (parking free between 6pm and 8am). This is a town carpark so is busy during the day quiet at night. Spaces only really suitable for smaller campers. Easy walk into town and large green area beside river for ball play with your dog.

  • 5/5

    Gut besuchter Parkplatz. Ab 18 Uhr bis 8 Uhr kostenfrei. Direkt am River Tay mit wundervollem Wassergeräusch. Nebenan gibt es ein nettes Plätzchen, zum Essen gehen. Das Dörfchen bietet ebenfalls nette Restaurants. Würden dort wieder übernachten.

  • 5/5

  • 5/5

    very quiet lovely views of the river Tay. lovely little village.

  • 5/5

    Een hele fijne locatie waar de camper veilig stond. Lekker plekje met uitzicht op het water en de brug. Vlak bij de parkeerplaats een eet en drink gelegenheid wat overdekt is. Heel gezellig.

  • 5/5

    Free between 6pm - 8am great spot overlooking the river Tay right next to the bridge. Didn’t get that busy even in the morning. Quiet and flat with picnic benches behind. Bins and public toilets at the other end of town (50p) Cute town and some really good walks out of it!

  • 4/5

    stayed here in summer 2021. paid for daytime parking and free overnight. busy place, but if you are brazen...go for it. zero amenities.

  • 4/5

    Busy car park and free at night. Great location if you fancy and few drinks or a meal out as there is lots of options.

  • 5/5

    We stayed here last night 05/11/21 in our camper. Paid 2.60 via RingGo. It’s right at the town and next to lots of hotels and beer tents. The view of the bridge and river is perfect. Lots of walks and two other campers in the car park.

  • 4/5

    Good spot, flat, gets quite busy, shared the car park with at least 10 other campers. Nice town.

  • 5/5

    Great spot lovely peaceful, nice village, 50p for toilets in car park at other end of town but they are closed at night.

  • 4/5

    Nice spot for an overnight stop due to being quiet and also near the pub! There’s some beautiful walks along the Tay (the beautiful ancient oak tree on the other side of the Tay was great to see). Parking spaces are small but we managed to fit our long wheel base van in where it wasn’t in the way of anyone else.

  • 4/5

    Nice place to stay overnight. Quite short spaces so larger vans may struggle. Pay and Display but free parking all day Sunday and free from 6pm to 8am. We parked up in the evening and had a nice takeaway pizza from the hotel restaurant just down the road. No disturbance over night and was quiet in the morning too. Very busy during the day though!

  • 4/5

    Great spot near village centre for late night stop after dinner in the pub! Near to road and shared with plenty of other campers but weren't disturbed and was able to display valid ticket from 6pm-8am

  • 1/5

    This is only for cars to park overnight.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful location right next to the river and close to town. We stayed one night, busy car park during the day, quiet at night. No issues. No toilets but bins available. Plenty of other campers around. Camping from 6pm - 8am.

  • 5/5

    Parked next to river, great location. busy with a few motorhomes in. free parking 6pm - 8am. minute walk from the town centre, perfect.

  • 5/5

    This is great place to stop next to the river, few minutes walk to the town and a great chip shop and great pub garden overlooking the river very quite over night, free after 18.00 and free all day Sunday.

  • 4/5

    Convenient location but quite a busy car park

  • 5/5

    Stayed Saturday night. free after 6pm ideal overnight stop off..29.08.20

  • 5/5

    Nice place close to the river, with a lovely beer garden which does very good food, with a beautiful view. Some tables for breakfast or diner.

  • 5/5

    Very quiet spot with one other camper. Nice feel and lovely to be in the village. Well worth a stop off.

  • 5/5

    Excellent overnight stay, nice scenic views and quit, plenty of room and local shops within walking distance.

  • 4/5

    Great spot by the river, really close to the village, pubs, chippy, Indian, cafes etc. We’re just under 7.5m and got in a space ok, might have been a struggle if the carpark was busy. No charge overnight either.

  • 5/5

    Great stop off, good flat carpark, toilets not too far away in the village (5 min). Great location for walks and exploring, pubs, cafes and coop all very close by.

  • 5/5

    Super spot! Bon feeling, nous étions plusieurs campervans/camping-cars, belle vue sur la rivière et le pont, tables de piques nique, WC situé sur l’autre parking un peu plus haut dans la ville accessibles à pied, plusieurs commerces dans la ville. Coup de cœur!

  • 3/5

    Parking calme et agréable, très proche du centre ville, payant en journée.

  • 5/5

    Emplacement très agréable et calme. Pleins de petits commerces accueillants. Pâtisseries succulentes à l’Aran Bakery !

  • 4/5

    Parking entre la route et la rivière. Espaces verts avec tables. Donne directement sur la rivière

  • 4/5

    Nice little spot. Have been using this for years. Just woke up here in my van to the sound of the Mighty River Tay and the birds. I have a disabled badge so it’s free too. With the view and the nice picnic tables it’s all in all a nice wee place. Now off for some vegan food over the road. ??

  • 4/5

    Village touristique. Ambiance familiale, les gens viennent manger sur les tables de pique-nique. Belle vue sur le pont de la rivière Tay. Plus personne à partir de 20h. Dimanche parking gratuit

  • 5/5

    Superbe emplacement très calme, après 18h toutes les voitures partent et c'est gratuit ! Le pub à côté est très sympa, bonne bière et musique live !!

  • 4/5

    This parking area is quite tight. If you have a larger vehicle I would suggest the North Car park at the other end of Dunkeld. The car park there is more open. It has the same parking conditions and attended public toilets which are very clean. 30p charge and not open 24 hours but there had a disabled facility probably accessed by the radar / NKS . buses run from the co but not late at night.

  • 3/5

    Pas de problème pour passer la nuit, calme. Quelques voitures qui passent sur la route.

  • 4/5

    Nuit très calme. Le parking commence à se remplir à partir de 10h. Ville très agréable à visiter. Commerçants très accueillants.
