Been here?
This large, clean gravel parking lot in Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park has picnic benches, information boards, stable 4G reception, and nearby hiking. Overnight parking now has only 3 spaces, costs £10 from 6pm to 10am via RingGo, and is controlled by a ranger. If those spaces are full, you will be moved on, and the app may not be available to non UK-residents. It is generally quiet at night, slightly sloping, busy in summer, and has no disposal options.

just arrived fantastic spot plenty of day parking but only 3 overnight spaces which is controlled by ranger and if 3 vans have paid before you arrive you will be moved on by them pay via RingGo app £10 from 6pm to 10am
I’m happy to pay £10 for the night, but not this way: info panel ‘pay for the night’ hidden in the far back of the parking lot, only 3 campers max on this large lot, and you have to pay by the app, which is not available for non UK-residents. So didn’t/couldn’t pay. Other than that, excellent spot!
A great spot for a night now part of the forestry stay the night £10 scheme.
Great little spot to stay for the night, off the main road so super quiet, was about 3 other campervans parked up, connot complain.
We returned for a 2nd night not a bad nights sleep both nights! seems to be a popular spot.
Great stop over. Very slightly sloping. A good nights sleep, nice and quiet. Many walks from this parking.
Great park up very quiet been here before went to the pub near by had tea closes early though due to it being winter months, walks on the doorstep
Great park free park up just outside of Callander but within walking distance. Really quiet at night with 4 other campers there.
Nice out of the way spot with some views through the trees. During the day you can hear the vehicles on the road at night pitch black and dead silent. The gravel surface is a nice touch as very clean. This site is very busy in summer but in other season quite secluded. only 4 other campers here today and well spaced out.
Great place to spend the night. There are picnic tables. No noise or disturbance. We picked up a "forgotten" bag of rubbish.
Nice spot to stay the night. We stayed there with 3 other campers. The spot slopes quite a bit, making it impossible to level a large camper (from 6.5 meters) anywhere. Furthermore, wonderfully quiet. You occasionally hear the road in the distance, but not disturbing! Definitely recommended!
The parking was almost empty when we arrived at 6pm. Wooden picnic tables available, large gravel on the ground. It is clean and spacious. You can clearly hear the road below.
Just as the previous speakers describe, quiet although busy, you have to be there before 3:00 PM, otherwise the hikers come with their cars. The place is also easily accessible for large motorhomes. No major "winding" needed.
Very spacious and clean place. Gravel. Lots of people but relatively calm. Pleasant surroundings with trees. Some midges.
Excellent stopover for a lunch break with picnic tables and large spaces for several camper vans (7m long for ours). Can be suitable for a night. Moderately busy road at lunchtime. Nice view from the upper parking lot.
Perfect and quiet just close to hiking
Very quiet, but very many midges. We stayed there overnight together with two other vehicles and had a restful night. Unfortunately no waste disposal facilities.
So busy!! Lots of campers and then cars arriving early in morning for various walking routes. not peaceful at all. also lots of rubbish around as no bins, no toilet facilities
Parked there all night super quite loverly view
Great spot, quiet and close to Lade Inn for food. Also National cycle routes are close by
Peaceful place, but do not wait too long to park here—the parking area was almost full. We spent a very good night here.
Great spot! Plenty of space. Picnic tables to sit and 4G signal
Very quiet parking area. Walking and cycling routes nearby. This is a free parking area with picnic tables. Good place for one night.
Great little spot. Very quiet, with a cycle path running right past it, and a 15-minute walk into the town center away from the main road.
Good place, almost flat.
Good spot. Flat and very well maintained, away from traffic.
