Very easy to find and a great car parks lots of available spaces even on a school holiday. Of course this leads to a much more challenging ascent up to the summit but really worth it. You can also head right over the river instead of left towards the CMD arête and it will take you to the normal route up to the summit.

Those who are up for a challenge stick left and head up towards the arête and enjoy!!

Great small park. £3 all day. Very reasonable but fills up! From here is a lovely walk through the forest uphill to the open land leading to the Allt a Mhuillen. Fantastic views of the North face up close especially by the CIC hut.

Nice little carpark, and quickly fills up due to its small size. I'd recommend arriving well before 9am.

Perfect for a trip up to Ben-Nevis via the CMD or the CIC hut. The walk takes you through a lovely pine forest, and then straight out in to the valley. Absolutely mesmerising hike, but pretty tough. The route up to the CMD traverses across very boggy marshland, which will sap the energy out of you. Be prepared with proper boots, waterproofs and hiking poles. It's boggy even after a drought.

Beware road leading to car park is full of large potholes.

Parking is no longer free and charges now apply, payable online

The car park is owned by the forestry service and they no longer allow overnight parking. Do not be tempted to park in the lane leading up to the car park. The entire area is a live forestry operation. Forestry equipment is constantly moving around.

Very good starting point for walking and climbing BUT difficult to pay for. The app downloads at a random language, is challenging to operate and they charge 20p extra for sending a receipt WITHOUT letting you know in advance. Then, you don't get a receipt. Improvement required!

Underrated walk. It was beautiful minus the logging but it seems you can't escape the sight of it in Scotland.

Yet another Edit June 23 - there is now a charge for the car park You need ringGo app as nowhere to pay on site. Not very much.

Old edits:- (hard to keep up I know)

No camper vans allowed.

Edit - camper vans now allowed one night only. Very busy on nice days. Would be better if walkers and climbers didn't leave their rubbish behind though. Who do these people think picks it up?

Another Edit! Overnight stays are now banned completely! Presumably the local manager has changed again although maybe the mess and the lack of toilets has meant the perpetrators have ruined it for everyone else.

Lots of pot holes on way in and a Bit boggy. paying for your stay wasn't easy had to pay using app got a code sent for app but after copying it then pasting it 3 times I got locked out app!! As it said it was the wrong code Have to wait till next day to try again. Not the best start to the day. Very busy early morning.
