If it's the place I think it is there is, or at least used to be, a bar and cafe on the site. Maybe 6-7 years back.

Sorry, I don’t have any further details and can find nothing on their website except that they already allow overnight parking for £15. I am sure there will be info on CampRa’s website and forum as it becomes available.

If it is the place I'm thinking about 56.85175816897397, -5.001007749652731

Actually might not be such good news. This from the person who posted the info on FB. Sorry to have given the wrong impression.

As can be seen in my posting of this news, Condition one dictated that ' Due to a flood risk in the car park area, there will be NO Overnight parking permitted.'
However it is great that there will now be a 'Motorhome Service Point, with facilities' for daytime usage in the area.

Some do. Check out the places in Scotland that do and are trying to provide facilities. See the Cameron McNeish video posted earlier today, By bobnick, titled Scotland

Anybody have any info as to Scotland Forest Commission to continue last years experiment of allowing overnight pitch up at various forest carparks. Their web site states the 2020 'Experiment' has ended but mention is made of review for 2021?

Rumour tells it will be looked on favourably going forward but (guess) it won't be discussed decided until after lockdown as difficult to "police".
