About Ullapool Latheron Car Park motorhome & campervan aire
Nestled in the picturesque village of Ullapool, Wester Ross, the Latheron Car Park offers a convenient and council-authorised overnight stop for self-contained motorhomes and campervans. This prime location serves as an excellent base for exploring Ullapool itself, a vibrant port town on the shores of Loch Broom, and acts as a strategic gateway to the world-renowned North Coast 500 route. Managed by The Highland Council, this stopover is part of their forward-thinking Highland Campervan and Motorhome Scheme, designed to provide responsible overnight parking solutions across the region.
While Latheron Car Park provides a practical hardstanding for your vehicle, it’s important to note that it operates as a basic overnight parking area, not a full-service campsite. Motorhomers should ensure they are fully self-contained, as no on-site facilities for waste disposal or fresh water are provided. The permit scheme encourages visitors to utilize official waste disposal points found elsewhere, promoting sustainable and responsible touring within the stunning Scottish Highlands.
