A simple place . We just turned in off the road found a spot. Within a couple of minutes the owner arrived on his trusty bike and we paid him directly. Lovely gent very obligating . He actually filled us some water as it was late and we had run out. It a lovely wee place plenty of space and lovely views. 20£ for 24 hrs Our phone service was not great. Translating
Lovely no frills park up. £15 for overnight, lovely walk along the river or up Ben Nevis Just drove in and the really friendly guy running it appeared on his bike and sorted our paymentTranslating
Very nice place—located by the road, but it seems fine. The owner lives one house away; it is best to pay him directly—£15. The JustPark app does not really work and, according to the owner, is probably more expensive. The gate is closed overnight; the owner provides the code.Translating
The parking area is closed at night and is quiet. It is near the Ben Nevis visitor centre, where there are rubbish bins. We had a pleasant stay.Translating
Great place to park for a Ben Nevis trek, and the owner was lovely.Translating
Lovely host, safe and quiet. Close to road but not a problem. Need to go up to house in winter, paid £10 for an overnight stay. No facilities. Translating
Fantastic park up. Would highly recommend. Within walking distance to the start of the Nevis trail. Thank you! Translating
Stayed here on 9 December 2025. Perfect, cheap, and friendly host.Translating
perfect stay, called a bit earlier to make sure he had space and was still open with us touring in December. empty park up and he gave us the code for the gate, said let yourself in and ill come round later on, top bloke. lovely pitch with a good view I would definitely stop here again. £10 for 24hr Translating
Lovely host. Turned up at 4 p.m., and the sign clearly says to go to the house—the white bungalow to the left of the gate. I knocked on the door; he promptly answered, said it was £15 for 24 hours, and asked if that was okay. Paid and was given the code for the gate lock. Slight traffic noise, but no concern.Translating
perfect. payed £10.00 cash to the lady in a house. lovely night sleep. Translating
Stopped here on September 25. Sign said no spaces on the board & gate closed, however go check with Kenneth at his house - (house is the wooden cottage 50m down the road down the drive beside the white cottage) Kenneth is such a helpful friendly guy, he hadn’t changed the sign to spaces so we stayed the night for £10. As stated no facilities but great location & nice pitches. Will 100% return.Translating
Good place to stay overnight, right next to a sheep pasture. A friendly welcome from Lois at her small coffee shop. We paid the £10 fee directly there as well. Road noise was tolerable. The start of the Ben Nevis route is only a short distance away.Translating
Best place to park for 24 hrs @ £15 cash. Closest point to Ben Nevis visit centre (which charges £8 for day parking). Speak to owner Kenneth in the house 50m on and save him the JustPark fees and you some money. Well spaced out parking on flat gravel. Noise from the road all night and early morning hikers. Limited 4g Coffee wagon was open when we came off the hill. Highly recommended. Translating
We stayed here on Sunday 14th September 2025.This place is a hidden gem. So peaceful and quiet. £10 for an overnight stay. No facilities so need to be self sufficient. Hard standing pitches with grass each side. The view is looking on to a field of sheep. The owner lives in the house as you drive in so we paid him directly. A most peaceful nights sleep in a very safe gated beautiful location.Translating
We paid £15 for 24 hours. Quiet at night and super close to the start of the Ben Nevis trail. Perhaps still quite expensive just for a parking spot but much better value than the nearby campsite. Translating
Great spot for a night. Super friendly and welcoming owner. Easy check in and you can pick your spot. The Lady in the Coffee Trailer is such a sweetheart and the coffee/baking is fantastic. We will be back.Translating
£15. Close to the trails leading to Ben Nevis. Only one toilet is accessible in the evening and at night. We met the owner on the grounds; otherwise, we do not know how we would have paid for the parking.Translating
£15. It is the same owner as the farm next door. He comes by to collect the payment. The gate is usually closed because it is only parking for overnight stays. Open it and go in if it is not full; they will come by to collect the payment. We had a lot of wind and rain. I think that when they have made enough money and do not feel like leaving the house, they put up the “full” sign. In front of a sheep pasture.Translating
Nice place. Paid £10 in cash at the nearby house. Nice grassy pitches, including level spots.Translating
Everything perfect. Very nice host, helpful and friendly! Great location for hiking. Maximum motorhome length: 7.5 m.Translating
Kenneth is a lovely guy who will happily help you find a place to stay. We spent 2 nights here and spent £25. No facilities but walk about 200m up the road to the Ben Nevis visitor centre for toilets. Awesome place and convenient, we'll be staying again. Translating
Closed and gated; not sure if permanently.Translating
Located directly beside the road. Unfortunately, there is a lot of traffic late in the evening and early in the morning. It is an ideal base if you want to climb Ben Nevis. This place is 200 metres from the visitor centre, where the trail starts. £10 for the night, £15 for 24 hours.Translating
