Been here?
Bettyhill Viewpoint is a roadside parking area with stunning views of Ben Hope and Ben Loyal, space for around 3/4 vans, and a nearby walking route toward the lake. There are no services, but a general waste bin is available. Traffic is moderate during the day, usually quiet after 20 and returning around 6:30. The spot is exposed and windy, although recent stays reported very few midges and decent EE and Virgin mobile connection.

Best place we have found in the area, as it’s the only one that has practically no MIDGES. It’s quite windy, which made it hard to cook outside, but the absence of these flies / midges, made this stay the most comfortable in the highlands! Mobile connection is also decent with EE and Virgin having a stable 4G.
Beside the road, as is often the case in Scotland, but from 8 p.m. there is practically no traffic; it resumes around 6:30 a.m. Beautiful view and hike to the lake.Translating
Ideal location for one night. The views were great once the mist cleared. Very little traffic overnight.Translating
Excellent. We spent a very peaceful night here. A starting point for hikes through the spectacular moorland.Translating
Beautiful place with a spectacular view. However, the road is fairly busy until 10 p.m. and from 6 a.m. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the wrong address. Good for an overnight stop while traveling.Translating
Great spot for one night, no services, general waste bin, room for around 3/4 vans
Just parked briefly for the views! Level and quiet for a quick break, but quite exposed to the elements!
Didn't park for the night but the views are incredible from here
Good overnight spot, exposed to the wind.Translating
Perfect place for a late-night stopover and an early departure. We picked up litter before leaving. Brilliant place to see the Northern Lights.Translating
Great one nighter...... All roadworthy vehicles may use a designated lay-by to rest, including in a motorhome for such time as is required. This includes pulling up overnight. No offence or contravention is committed if the activity is contained within the vehicle. As soon as tables/chairs/cooking etc takes place outside the vehicle then an offence is committed and can be adjudged as “camping”.
