Waste Disposal and Fresh Water Stops on the NC500



Please let me know if you have information on other places that I can add to the list.  I have included some sites that are not "technically" on the NC500 as most people travel up to do the route passing through either the West Highland Way or taking the A9 from Stirling. 

Most sites are charging around £5.00-£7.00 per vehicle as an average, so I hope that gives you an idea of prices you should expect to pay to dispose of your waste responsibly. Please note that most sites in the Highlands can only take Green Chemicals as they drain into septic tanks and blue fluid will damage these.
