Le parking communautaire pour camping-cars est toujours fermé, on dirait que les travaux sont terminés, donc tout le monde utilise librement le parking Ice Factor, qui ressemble beaucoup à une aire française. Agréables jardins en face.
Les plats à emporter locaux appelés Chips and Rice sont excellents, de grandes portions et un excellent rapport qualité-prix, le curry est incroyable. Facteur de glace L'escalade a fermé. Grand parking pour de nombreux camping-cars. Tout est bon. Nombreuses balades locales.

Community camper parking still shut, looks like the work has been completed, so everyone freely uses the Ice Factor car park, looking very much like a French aire. Pleasant gardens opposite.
Local takeaway called Chips and Rice is excellent, large portions and excellent value, curry is amazing. Ice factor Climbing has closed down. Big parking area for many motorhomes. All is good. Many local walks.

Der Gemeinschaftsparkplatz für Wohnmobile ist immer noch geschlossen, die Arbeiten scheinen abgeschlossen zu sein, sodass jeder den Ice-Factor-Parkplatz frei nutzen kann, der einem französischen Aire sehr ähnlich sieht. Angenehme Gärten gegenüber.
Der lokale Imbiss namens Chips and Rice ist ausgezeichnet, große Portionen und ein ausgezeichnetes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, Curry ist fantastisch. Ice Factor Climbing ist geschlossen. Großer Parkplatz für viele Wohnmobile. Alles ist gut. Viele lokale Spaziergänge. Trinkwasserhahn vorhanden.

    Ils viennent d'installer des bornes pour l'électricité. On dirait qu'il va y avoir 8 grosses places avec prises. Pas de renseignement sur le prix pour l'instant, c'est vriament tout frais (ils sont en train d'enlever les cônes). Plus grad parking en face, sans prise, d'apparence gratuit.

  • 4/5

    Great parking spot with a lot of space and a beautiful destination for hiking near the waterfall. We felt save during the night. 4 stars, because the ice hall was noisy in the night. The public toillets were clean. The supermarket is within a three minute walk.

  • 5/5

    stayed there two nights 27.08. - 29.08. the official space is still roped off, but the unofficial much larger space next to it is great for staying and enjoying the various walks and mtb rides. check out the Chippy just over the bridge

    Love this place. Visit this place walking the whw 3 years ago. Now I'm back with my campervan. Walks from here are fantastic. Site not open yet, parked at ice factor with no problems. Coop, bar and restaurant on short distance. Quite at night in this ' electric village'

  • 5/5

    This particular spot is still closed. Saw 6 camper van's etc in the car park opposite (Ice Factor) so parked up here for the night. It was quiet and felt very safe among others for my first solo car camping experience. Worth noting, the toilet block is only open between 8am and 6pm. They are clean and had soap and paper towels. Also have a disabled toilet.

  • 5/5

    Ice Factor carpark is quiet, central and big enough for 10 plus campers. Why not go toproping or ice climbing, book a lesson or at least go in for great coffee and cake (including scrummy vegan ones). I’ve stayed often and all that is asked for is a donation to Glencoe Mountain Rescue. Through winter maybe park away from shadow of building which is a frost pocket but on the higher part as it can flood too. Brilliant spot though for any walk/activity in Kinlochleven. Local coop nearby.

  • 5/5

    The car park is still closed as of 31/12/21 but the Ice Factor car park opposite is still available.

  • 5/5

  • 5/5

    What a great spot! We stayed the night used the local pub for a couple of drinks then sat outside the van soaking up the sun! We were lucky enough to see a deer right by the van. We stayed in the ice centre carpark as the proper one was being refurbished by the look of it. Toilets were good as well.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful little village, very nice locals, pubs were open and fish&chip shop, lovely waterfall within short walking distance. Stayed one night the actual car park was closed for maintenance but with the ice climbing centre closed due to covid people were parking in that car park, so stayed there. Had no issues, really quiet and the public toilets are open 7am - 7pm if I remember correctly.

  • 5/5

    Fab place to stay overnight. We stayed here last night for 1 night - 1 other camper there too. Toilets open 8am-6pm. Ice climbing centre open but showers not open at the moment due to COVID. We went there for breakfast and a coffee in the morning though, was lovely. Co-op 2 mins walk away. Fab place.

  • 5/5

    Toilet open 8am to 6pm. Nicely COVID safe - very clean. Beautiful area, with friendly pubs and shops.

  • 5/5

    Great little stop over. Just off the beaten track on the a82 on way to do the NC 500. Four vans/MH here. Donation at the toilet block. Next to the river opposite Ice climbing centre. Not ventured to the two pubs yet, but will be doing shortly ?

  • 5/5

    Stayed 2 nights, once by the river and once in the car park for the climbing center (closed at the moment due to covid) No problems, sign there welcomes overnighters, make sure you pop a donation in the box near the toilets. also Red Squirrel campsite nearby will do a waste/chemical dump and water refill for £5.

  • 4/5

    Great overnight stop right by River plus near to pubs plus Coop for supplies. Toilets closed during Winter season open again April 2020! Ice/climbing centre has all the facilities you need plus lovely cafe serving brilliant coffee plus cakes and haggis rolls! Really nice people run the centre - a great overnight stop!

    Nice and sheltered if it's stormy, toilets right there and the lovely welcoming sign. Can be a midgie hotspot at times ?

    Nice spot, very quiet and no troubles at all. We walked to the Bothy Bar and had a few drinks (dog friendly). Facilities closed for winter, but available inside the ice climbing centre. Beautiful village, left a donation as requested.

  • 5/5

    Great spot! Sign says campervans welcome with a donation in the box. I’ll be staying tonight.

    Excellent stop over which is very safe and quiet. A lot of walks in the area. Good food and bars in town. Climbing centre nearby with excellent cafe and bar.

  • 3/5

    Endroit calme pour passer la nuit.Possibilité de démarrer des randonnées du parking

  • 3/5

    Le parking est à côté d'un camping donc pas très isolé. Les toilettes sont ouverts de 8h à 18h. Je préfère les emplacements nature mais celui-ci peut dépanner.

  • 4/5

    Perfect spot and welcome. Located overlooking River Leven. Stunning views all around ! Choice of at least three places to eat and drink- Tailrace Inn is dog friendly !

  • 5/5

    More sheltered than down at the Loch. very quiet, toilets padlocked but I think the climbing and ice climbing wall has facility's.
