B976, AB35 5UP
Been here?
This is a secluded forest-edge stopping area with views of the Cairngorms. It is quiet overnight, with minimal road noise, and tracks lead into the woods for walks. The ground is uneven and difficult to level, especially for longer vehicles. Balmoral is only a few minutes away, and deer may be seen on the tracks.

lovely quiet place on the edge of the woods. Only minimal overnight road noise. However, very difficult to get level no matter what we tried, but we are a longer vehicle. It's a beautiful spot, so please don't leave rubbish around (which we picked up) and please don't have bonfires so close to the forest.
An ideal stopover just a few minutes drive from Balmoral. Not the most level but we found a good spot in our swb. Two tracks running up through the trees, ideal for a dog walk, but keep them on a lead as there were deer about.
An ideal stopover for us driving through the Cairngorms, with lovely views and a couple of short walks along nearby tracks leading off the parking area. There was a fair bit of traffic late afternoon for such a minor road, but that soon eased off and it was a quiet night. Not very level, but we managed without ramps.
Lovely spot. Uneven terrain, bring levelers. We stayed here overnight before we went to Balmoral castle which is 3 min drive away. were the only ones. Next to B-road, some vars bit not too many. You can also park at Balmoral parking lot for £10 but free is always better right?
Super stop at the edge of the forest. Well hidden from view of passing cars. Some noise from the (local) road, but very quite during the night. Perfect spot for walks in the forest.
Stayed 1 night, we were the only ones there. Signal is slightly poor. However not an issue for us. Road goes quiet around 7pm - 7am few cars passing. No problems. Would stay again.
Good place to stop for the night, quiet, beautiful view, simply superb.
pretty wonky area not many flat spots and about internet...if you're with 3...don't bother
Beautiful place. Very quiet, and you can start walking from here through a beautiful nature reserve.
Very quiet spot. Good access from main road. Stopped one night only. No issues whatsoever.
Really didn’t like this spot, we planned to stay but moved on. Busy in use just across the road with massive tree logging and heavy plant machinery. No view and very dark under the trees.
It is a logging work area, but there was no one there and we slept well. No particular view and surrounded by piles of stacked tree trunks.
Unfortunately couldn’t stay here due to the bog and some big old log stacks which have taken up quite a bit of the space!
