    Great place to park for a hike up the mountains. They’ve introduce an ANPR car parking system so make sure you buy a ticket. You have to pay on your phone ( app).

    Il y a un petit panneau notifiant une interdiction de passer la nuit ! ? ! Nous avons hésité mais il y avait déjà des voitures et des 2 Vans. Nous sommes restés. Il y a eu ensuite un tel manège incessant de véhicules qu'à 21h, le parking était complet, voitures,tentes et vans. Nous avons fait la randonnée le lendemain et il faut laisser ce parking aux randonneurs je pense.

    no overnight parking sign now so we didn't stay

    great wooded location,pot holed track but lovely wooded walks and really good.pitches next to a river at the base of Ben Nevis

  • 5/5

    Great little overnight stop around 10 minutes from Fort William. One of the many ‘Stay the night’ car parks, amazing considering it’s free. A fairly large car park compared to other forestry ones I’ve stayed at. A few level spaces but the majority have a slight but noticeable slope. Great walks straight off the car park with some breathtaking views if you can face the steep North face Trail.

  • 5/5

    Great little Car Park that allows over night parking at the time we stopped off as a Trail Period. Please lets make this a success and keep the site tidy

  • 5/5

    Perfect camping spot if you are planning to start nearby outdoor activities early in the morning (Mountain biking, hiking, cycling). its in the middle of the forest so midges and Moskitos are very active. overnight camping for campervan/motorhome is now permitted for one night (Trial phase). nice spot, but will be busy and full and much activities Start early in the morning. no facilities.

  • 5/5

    Single overnight stay allowed, as part of a trial from the forest commission who own the car park sign up on the entrance to confirm this. I would suggest however that you do respect people want to use this for the activities as the person below has listed. stayed the night with a few other Van's and hiked in the morning. great place to stop for the night

    This car park is provided for people accessing Ben Nevis, and the MTB trails for cycling or walking. Please don't use if you're just going to stay the night in the van and block spaces in the morning for people heading up the hill. Scotland is going to be very busy this summer so best we all act responsibly.

    Super spot well recommended . Other vans there and every one was super nice mainly MTB guys and a few walkers . But 5 stars this one . Clean and just superb

  • 4/5

    Main car park had "no overnight parking" sign but still a few vans and tents were already there when e arrived. We technically stayed outside the car park, directly opposite, but there were no issues anyway. Really quiet, but chilly. A few early morning arrivals as it's the start of the North route up to Ben Nevis.

    Panneaux nuit interdite mais on y a dormi avec d’autres vans et pas de soucis, depart rando pour gravir le ben Nevis

  • 4/5

    Aktuell hängen schilder aus, dass man nicht übernachten soll, wird aber glaube ich nicht allzu ernst genommen von den campern. wir haben's uns nicht getraut, zwei, drei haben aber sicherlich übernachtet als wir gegen 21:00 weitergefahren sind.

    Need to take it slow over the bridge and up the quite lengthy track to the car park. Fairly level and isolated with good walks into the forest. VERY quiet at night, some visiting cars with dog walkers and cyclists in the early morning. Only one other campervan when we were there. Well recommended.

  • 5/5

    Stayed one night in Nov. Quiet, cold (-3) but comfortable with heating on all night. Walked about a mile up the hill for a great view of Ben Nevis. Two other vans in car park, both unconverted panel vans. Pot hole just before bridge on the way in is deep but we crossed slowly without incident.

    Toller Freistehplatz. Mehrere Stellplätze am Wald, flach, sehr ruhig! Sehr zu empfehlen!

  • 5/5

    Just perfect

  • 5/5

    Quiet. Fairly popular. Great rides and walks from the car park.

  • 3/5

    Schöner, gepflegter Parkplatz, der in der Nacht sehr ruhig ist. Allerdings kommen die ersten Wanderer schon recht früh und dann ist es mit der Ruhe vorbei. Außerdem sind jede Menge Midges unterwegs.

  • 5/5

    Great spot, we stayed on a Sunday night and two other vans were there. Plenty of room and all flat. Some nice walks and mountain bikes around from

  • 5/5

    Bon spot, passé une nuit au calme avant la coupe du monde de dh, mais parking plein durant la nuit du samedi soir. Calme

  • 5/5

    Lugar espectacular donde pernoctar con la autocaravana. Gratuito sin servicios, pero apartado y tranquilo. Inicio de la subida por la cara norte a Ben Nevis. Indicaciones The North Face Park

  • 4/5

    Great isolated camping spot. Quiet overnight but fills up at dawn with hillwalkers and climbers. Nice running / biking track from here to NevisRange at Aonach Mor where there are facilities but no overnight parking.

  • 5/5

    Nous avons passé deux nuits très calme ici. Aucun service mais parking relativement plat.

  • 5/5

    Fréquenté, mais les nuits sont calmes, et les randonnées aux alentours sont fantastiques.

  • 4/5

    Spot sympa, relativement plat, propre et calme la nuit. Départ de randonnées possibles. En week-end, beaucoup de passage et peu de places en journée. En effet il y a des midges mais pas plus que dans le reste des highlands ;)

  • 2/5

    Beaucoup de midges. Il faisait très lourd et malgré les 25 degrés dans le fourgon il n’était pas possible d’ouvrir les portes et fenêtres car ils passent à travers les trous des moustiquaires, même celle des aérations, sinon endroit calme.

  • 4/5

    Spent two nights here, very quiet at night, busy in the mornings. only 10mn from fort Williams. no facilities.

  • 3/5

    If a more than cursory toilet trip is found to be necessary, the woodland surrounding the car park should be treated with caution due to density of prior use for said purposes. There is lots of suitable woodland on offer either side of the path leading up towards the mountain. Use of the path itself in this regard is frowned on.

  • 3/5

    This is the point of access for the world renowned winter climbing on Ben Nevis's north face - and indeed for the only walking route to the summit that can be recommended, i.e. via the Carn Mor Dearg Arete. Unfortunately the facilities are not commensurate, with neither bin nor toilets on offer, and suspension/exhaust crippling potholes en route.
