(PH49 4HX) Ballachulish - A82

Achtriochtan car park is part of Glencoe National Nature Reserve, cared for by the National Trust for Scotland. While we welcome visitors, this car park is sadly being abused by some campers, Campervan and Motorhomes users. Our Ranger team regularly have to deal with rubbish, nappies, human waste and used wipes at the edges of the parking area after a night when it is filled with vehicles. It is not appropriate to make campfires in the grass beside the River Coe or Loch Achtriochtan or beside parking bays as this causes damage to the natural habitat and parking area. Stoves are fine, but please take care at times of high wild fire risk and do not go near the home or garden of our tenant in the little white cottage. We ask that you spend some time checking that you leave no trace of your visit. If you do not have self-contained toilet facilities, or do not intend to take away your human waste in dog poo bags, do no park here. If you LOVE Glencoe and appreciate the work our team do to look after the footpaths, mountains and wildlife here, please make a donation (suggested £5) after parking or staying overnight on the website! Thank you for respecting this beautiful place ?
