Been here?
A free, flat tarmac parking area beside Loch Inchard, with beautiful water views and space for about 3 vans. Overnight stays are allowed if the site is respected, but fires, awnings and outdoor tables are not permitted. There are no services apart from a bin and picnic table, while 4G works very well and toilets are a short drive away. The road is usually quiet at night, although flies can be a serious problem.

Amazing place by the lake!fits 3 vans! Careful with flies on the evening
I agree with all the previous reviews this is a great place for a stop over. However beware When using google maps the directions took us past the lay-by and down a very narrow road on the side of the loch! We just managed to turn around in our 7m van and used the photos from the App to identify the correct location.
Beautiful spot next to the Loch. Next to the road but quiet at night time. Phone signal is good and there is a bin provided. Toilets are a few minutes drive away.
No issues other than a bit of wind, road noise infrequent, lovely views, bin there, good wifi signal. would stay again
Four stars because it is still roadside, but traffic is almost nonexistent at night. There were two motorhomes and two vans here that night. A major advantage: sheltered from the very strong wind blowing that day. Magnificent view. Rubbish bin.Translating
Small parking area for about two campers, with a beautiful view of the loch. Calm in the evening, with no midges. Then very windy at night. The road is quiet at night. Sign indicating that parking or camping on the grass is prohibited.Translating
Quiet at night, with a bench-and-table combination. Please keep it clean. Thank you.Translating
Quiet, level place with a very beautiful view. Excellent 4G reception. No services apart from a rubbish bin and a picnic table. A major drawback: there are huge numbers of midges in the late afternoon, evening, night, and morning. I had to leave upon waking, before even packing my things.Translating
Very quiet. Overnight stays are allowed provided the place is respected. No fire, no awning extended, and no table either. Everything must take place inside the vehicle. It was 14 degrees outside this evening, which did not bother us. There are shops nearby, but it is beside the loch and very quiet, with little traffic.Translating
Just stopped for a pastry with a view and let the dogs stretch their legs. Gorgeous views - and quite sheltered from the wind - tarmac, pretty flat. Have tagged to stay here overnight in future!
Uninterrupted view of the fjord! Soothing.Translating
Quiet and peaceful free parkup. Toilets available a short drive away. Picnic bench and bin. Great views over the water and can catch the sunset on a clear night. Great stop on the nc500. Leave no trace!! Keep vehicles and fires off the grass.
Just a parking area, but the view is superb.Translating
Roadside parking, but little traffic at night. Beautiful view of the fjord.Translating
Absolutely stunning view!! highly recommended, very quiet at night with only a few cars driving by. incredible sunset and golden hour on the Loch, we loved it.
Highly recommended spot, nice and quiet. Hardstanding parking by the roadside, but there is almost no traffic. Views of the mountains and the loch. We went for a long walk with our dog.Translating
Exceptional view, a real delight. Not many spaces. Quiet night.Translating
Nice quiet little parking area hardly any passing traffic 4 motorhones were parked for the night.
Extraordinary view. By the roadside but very little traffic in the evening and at night. Bin and picnic table. Space for 3 vehicles. Almost flatTranslating
It's not the most extraordinary spot... but it's hard to find better. A table, a bin, and a fairly busy road during the day. We'll see about the night...Translating
Great place to stopover. Enough space for 2/3 motorhomes. Flat. Lovely views over loch. Relatively quiet a bit if traffic early morning. Only one other campervan when we were there. Bin and picnic table.
A bit of traffic on a normal road, so there is some traffic, and since we are close by, it can be noisy, but there is a beautiful panorama and it is flat.Translating
Set back a bit from a quiet road this is a nice quiet spot for the night. The bottom of the lay-by is a lot flatter but can definitely fit 4 campers in, we had 2 neighbours and didn’t feel like we were too close to each other. Great views of the loch and just off the NC500 route.
