Do you have to book a pitch, even though it's free, or just turn up? What if it's late at night as well - is that a problem?

Just turn up, currently quiet at the moment, no need to book.

The reason I ended up forgetting my skis last weekend was . . . I indulged in too many Oban Blondes.
One Oban Blonde is enough for me! ;-)

Thanks for confirmation re. the free camping smiling smiley

So do we just pitch up and pitch up(!)?

Or do we need to to report our arrival/formally book in? Will we definitely get a spot tomorrow night (Sat)? Really looking forward to it!

Cheers!

I agree with the thoughts about the Car Park cafe at Glencoe. I always like to rest my legs for an bit and head down on the chair for a bite of lunch.

It's funny to compare the relaxed lunchtimes of late to those when you could ski/board to the car park when the place was manic!

Mountainaddict, if it's before 8.30pm check in at the cafe. If it's after that just find a pitch.

Cheers igloo! We had a great weekend, with a day each at Nevis and Glencoe and one night at your free camping.

Only negatives were the inconsiderate folk who seem to think it's perfectly acceptable to play loud music until the early hours when others who are knackered after a great day on the hill are trying to sleep; and waking to find that someone had stolen half of our tent pegs, which was an annoying first for us.
