Parking accessible par une petite route mais OK pour notre camping-car (6.2 m x 2.20 m x 3 m). On arrive sur une petite clairière et le loch An Eilein est à 50 m à pied, dont le tour (6,5 km) peut être fait à vélo.
Le prix est cher mais inclus les services au camping Rothiemurchus à proximité. Ça dépanne bien quand tous les campings du coin sont pleins.

Parking accessible by a small road but ok with our camper van (6.2 m x 2.20 m x 3 m). You arrive on a small clearing and the An Eilein Loch is 50 m away by foot. The price is expensive but includes services in the area. It helps out when all the campsites in the area are full.

Parkplatz über eine kleine Straße erreichbar, aber für unser Wohnmobil (6,2 mx 2,20 mx 3 m) in Ordnung. Sie erreichen eine kleine Lichtung und Loch An Eilein ist 50 m zu Fuß entfernt, die Tour (6,5 km) kann mit dem Fahrrad bewältigt werden. Der Preis ist teuer, beinhaltet jedoch die Dienstleistungen auf dem nahe gelegenen Campingplatz Rothiemurchus. Es hilft, wenn alle Campingplätze in der Umgebung voll sind.

    Großer Parkplatz mit ausreichend Platz für Wohnmobile. Nach ein paar Metern durch den Wald erreicht man die Toiletten. Die Toiletten sind sauber und mit Seife und Papiertüchern ausgestattet.

  • 5/5

    Waren dort für ein Spatziergang um den See. Gepflegten Parkplatz. Haben nicht übernachtet, aber scheint für eine Nacht geräumig. Es hat saubere Toiletten die zum Parkplatz gehören.

  • 3/5

    War eine schöne ruhige Nacht. Sehr freundlicher Ranger, welcher die 15 Pfund am Abend kassiert hat. Kartenzahlung oder Zahlung per QR-Code möglich. Trotzdem ein happiger Preis für wenig „Leistung“ und Aussicht.

  • 4/5

    Had a nice stopover and a quiet night, arrived late afternoon and paid 15£ for overnight. Left next morning at 11.30 and had to pay an extra 3£ for the "day". The ranger forgot to tell us so don't forget to leave by 10am if you are not staying the day :)

  • 5/5

    One of our favorite stops so far! Lovely 5km walk round the Loch, stunning scenery. We paddleboarded & swam. Great for kids & dogs! Lots of midges but that's standard. No issues with access, lots of big motorhomes here. Level parking. Toilets, no bins. Limited 4g. Definitely worth the money if you're doing more than just sleeping here.

  • 5/5

    Wonderful place to stay. £15 paid to ranger or via qr code. Toilets always available. Small gift shop with snacks open from around 11am. Fresh water tap near entrance. Cafe and farm shop available on the main road. Lovely scenary.

  • 4/5

    Payment when rangers have gone home is by QR code and a card. The code is on the hut. Toilets clean- no fires or BBQ. No bins

  • 4/5

    price for a campervan is 15£ a night. Nice place to stay and the Loch is nice to take a swim. toilets are clean

  • 5/5

    Lovely peaceful spot, well worth the price. Easy to find flat parking and the loch is beautiful.

  • 5/5

    Parked here for one night. Amazing spot; quiet, clean and a 2 minute walk to the loch and toilets. The following day the lovely wee shop was open, selling ice creams, drinks etc. The cycle around the loch is great- our 5 year old really enjoyed it as lots of ups and downs and a burn crossing (bridge if you don't want to go through the water).

  • 5/5

    wundervoller Spot! Ruhe und mitten in der Natur. Die Toiletten könnten sauberer sein. Wenn man nach 18 Uhr kommt und vor 8 wieder fährt, steht man kostenlos. Da hier aber alle so mega nett sind und die Umgebung traumhaft, zahlt man gerne 15£

  • 5/5

    Rustige en ruime parkeerplaats. Toen ik aankwam was er niemand en er is geen betaalmachine. De volgende ochtend kwam de parkwacht en bracht mij 5 pond in rekening voor het overnachten (1 persoon en een hele kleine camper). Toiletten zijn schoon en de omgeving is prachtig! Meerdere wandelingen mogelijk en in het meer is een kasteelruïne. Ik kom hier zeker terug!

  • 3/5

    paid £17 for 2 adults for the night. toilets and a nice loch walk cheaper than elsewhere!!

  • 4/5

    Enjoyed this spot. £14 for two adults in a camper. Clean toilets. Beautiful loch that you walk around and swim in. Really quiet at night and plenty of space.

  • 4/5

    parfait quand on débarque et que ce n'était pas prévu. les 2 toilettes sont propres. personnel très sympa. le tour du lac vaut la peine... 17 £ un camper, 2 pers. visite du lac lovely vendeuse au shop du lac

  • 3/5

    Impossible d'aller faire le plein d'eau avec un camping-car avec Capucine, les branches sont trop basses. Il y a des sanitaires, mais vidange eaux noires pas possible. Tarif excessif pour des services inaccessibles. £10 le cc, £5 par adulte et le parking de jour en sus... lac sympa, bien aménagée

  • 5/5

    Great location with plenty of space. Very quiet. Really pretty trails around here - the trail that goes around the lake takes awhile longer than expected - plan for at least an hour and a half (about 3.5 miles) and the view doesn’t vary much.

  • 4/5

    Parking calme à proximité du Loch an Eilein. Toilette publique à moins de deux minutes à pied. 16£ pour un campervan avec 2 adultes et 2 enfants.

  • 5/5

    4.50£ nur Parken 2 Personen und ein Van für den Tag, die Übernachtung nochmal 10£ extra. Toiletten vorhanden. Hundeauslaufzone. Wir standen nur tagsüber. Schöne Runde um den See und den Berg Ord Ban.

  • 5/5

    Rustige parkeerplaats in een prachtige omgeving. op 1 minuut stappen is er een toilet. Ideaal om de ochtend goed te beginnen met een heerlijke ochtendwandeling langs het prachtige meer!

  • 1/5

    £20 a night not worth it for the facilities you receive. Moved on. Option of £3 for all day parking. Policed by rangers at night for parking payment. Nice swim in the loch though. Can fill up water and toilets.

  • 5/5

    Great overnight spot. Access via a quiet single track road, we managed to get a 4/6 berth motorhome there without too many much issue. Rangers do drive around car park and to collect the parking fee (£20) card or cash accepted. Great access to the Loch where we swam. Toilet block with drinking water tap (right sideof the building) 2 mins walk from the car park.

  • 4/5

    Nice parking, quiet area and the walk around the loch is very pleasant but £20 is too high for the limited services it offers.

  • 4/5

    Parking cost is £20 and a little overpriced. Otherwise recommended. Toilet and water tap are nearby and the Loch is great for a swim and nice walks.

  • 4/5

    Bit expensive but well maintained and lots of space. You can book in advance and pay online. Would recommend.

  • 3/5

    £20 for a campervan in August 2021, 5 mins walk from toilets and tap which are the only services. Loch is also 5 mins walk away. Surrounded by trees, quiet and few other vans in the very large space. Price was a bit high I thought, £10 - 14 would be more appropriate for what you get. Staff were nice though.

  • 4/5

    I stayed here in November and was the only car in the carpark overnight. During the night there were 2 occasions of a car coming in, driving around then leaving. There were also a few cars in the morning with dog walkers, and 2 council employees cleaning up rubbish. it is quite a busy carpark but still well worth it for the walk around the loch and the toilets.

  • 5/5

    Amazing spot! So peaceful and clean. 3 other vans stayed the night we did. Ample space for more. Great walks around the Loch and the toilets are open all night.

  • 5/5

    6/9/2020 follow carpark to end and take a left turn you will find another carpark which is a bit more secluded, we paid £14 for a campervan with 2 adults , a walk around the loch took about an hour 3.5 miles but it's a nice easy walk no hills just follow the well maintained path , also a toilet is situated about 3 mins walk from car park ,

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot. Is down a narrow lane and narrow bridge so possible max 6.5m. Is a charge but no one came to collect

  • 2/5

    You have to drive a long way up an increasingly narrow lane. Very tricky when traffic is both ways. It is £15 plus £2 per person which is expensive for what you get but it is busy. Also lack of information upfront. Aviemore is popular destination but unless you want to visit Aviemore think there is better destinations, but site ok.

  • 4/5

    Great location once the day walkers had moved on. Very busy in the day. £16 charge for the night with very basic toilet but sheltered on a night when a big storm was on its way. The short walks in the area were stunning so a good quiet base for a night.

  • 5/5

    Toller Platz! Super ruhig, Zugang zum See, Toiletten die ganze Nacht auf, wir waren alleine am Platz! Sehr empfehlenswert!

  • 4/5

    Its a beautiful spot located at Loch Eilein. WC and visitor center. We stayed one night, payed 14£ for 2 adults and a camper van. Service at Rothiemurchus Camping nearby the next morning is included.

  • 4/5

    Es un parking para visitar esta parte del parque que permite la pernocta solo una noche. Cuesta 14 libras. Tiene los servicios abiertos toda la noche, pero no encontramos servicios específicos para autocaravanas (llenar/vaciar). Está junto a un lago que se puede rodear a pie en unos 90 min y también se puede hacer en bici.

  • 4/5

    Spent the day only but seems like a beautiful spot to spend the night. Toilets and picnic benches available and a few nice hiking trails that set off from the carpark. Daily entry fee is £1.50 per adult as at Oct 2017.
