    Lovely place to stay! Small area along the road, space for about 4 vehicles. No signs. Really basic but enough for a night stay. Picnic table on the grass area. No toilets. Road not too busy at night as it’s on the countryside. We stayed 1 night without any problem.

    Lovely stop. Reasonably level which can be hard to find in this lovely hilly part of Ireland.

    Excellent spot to enjoy a meal with an incredible view of the lake across the street. There are two picnic tables available. We spent the night with a handful of others (nobody we knew). The spot was very quite. We walked up to DJ Cullen Lake View Lounge (about 1 Km away. less if you take the dirt road out the back of the parking lot) and watched a really good band. Super friendly staff.

    Was very busy when we arrived. Several cars and a van and tight spaces making it difficult to park. For a "quiet spot" was a bit too busy for us and not enough room to fit with privacy.

    This was a perfect little spot to stay, we had a very quiet night. surrounded by sheep, cows and a beautiful view. we spent the evening sitting chatting to a lovely lady who lives nearby and her dog Judy. She told us of a wee pub and great views just up the lane. remeber to park in tight to the wall as the local bus turns here. there is no facilities or bin. but two granite picnic tables.

    Haben hier eine sehr ruhige Nacht verbracht, mit einem wunderschönen Blick auf den See am nächsten Morgen. Der Platz ist recht eben, man sollte aber schauen, dass man nah an der Mauer parkt, da hier morgens ein Doppeldeckerbus dreht. Schön für eine Zwischenübernachtung ohne jegliche Dienstleistungen.

    Pour 4 vans maximums. Calme et belle vue. Utilisé aussi par les locaux pour attendre le bus scolaire et permettre de faire demi tour. Donc respect s'impose pour favoriser l'usage pour tous. Parfait pour 1 nuit.

    Gorgeous scenery, cows, sheep, nuts horses surrounding us. A babbling brook too. Fab overnight spot. No services. Not even a bin, sadly.

    vue magnifique sur le lac, en pleine campagne au calme. pas de poubelle un peu de dépôt sauvage. Emplacement pour 3 camping cars max.

    Stayed a couple of nights ago as a quick stop over. Adjacent grass and two marble picnic tables and chairs well maintained. Parking is flat and easy to access for a MH. Lovely view of the reservoir with a nice short walk to this and the nearby pub. No other facilities nearby.

    Emplacement idéal pour une nuit avec un van. Certes il y a un peu dé détritus mais la vue et le calme sont au rdv. En se promenant dans le village on trouvera un pub charmant, une boîte à œuf frais en vente libre et quelques moutons plus ou moins libre.

    Correct pour un arrêt de nuit. Sans plus. Vue sur le lac. Ne pas se placer dans l’entrée qui est la zone de stationnement du bus. Dans l’axe de la route, pas de problème.

    OK for a night but make sure you leave enough space for the Dublin bus! This is not an ordinary bus, as you might expect in the small country lanes, this is a great big double-decker bus! It arrives at 19:30 goes off for the night and is back at 07:30 the next day.

    Belle vue sur le lac au calme au milieu des champs avec des vaches et des moutons. Le bus va et vient sans déranger.

    Lovely view, quiet and great cycling/hiking on the doorstep

    A lovely park up for a night or two. there's a good sized hill behind you if you're feeling energetic and need a hike. A nice view down to the lake, no services but it's free.

    Be aware that the Dublin bus uses this as a pull in so park up close to the walls!

    Belle vue sur le lac, endroit calme même si en bord de route

    Tres calme effectivement

    Nuit très calme avant de rejoindre Dublin pour reprendre le ferry. Effectivement route très peu passante. Pour une nuit impeccable.

    I live close to this spot. Here is some additional information. The Dublin bus No. 65 services this parking area 7am and 7pm Mon to Fri so you could take a bus in the morning to Dublin city center and be back in the evening. There is also a boat hire service 500m from the site so you can go fishing or just cruse the lake. The local pub is close Cullen Lakeview lounge so you can enjoy a pint

    Belle vue et calme malgré la route, bien pour une nuit.
