DAY VISITORS & PARKING

About Grandtully Station Park Car Park & Green Building

The enhanced facilities at the Car Park and Green Building have significantly improved the experience for day visitors to Grandtully—whether they are cycling, paddling, visiting local businesses, or simply passing through on the Rob Roy Way.

The site has been recognised as a vital resource for day visitors to the area, therefore its long-term sustainability is crucial. To this end, a more formal charging structure for the use of the site was introduced in 2024.

The funds generated through parking charges, event fees, and passes at Grandtully Station Park are dedicated to the upkeep of the Car Park and the 'Green Building.' The Green Building is an all-year, heated facility providing toilets, showers, and changing rooms; this resource plus the car park costs approximately £17,300 annually to maintain and operate.

Revenue to cover these costs comes from:

• Pay & Display Parking, Aire Parking (overnight), paid showers 
• Events
• Unit Hire
• Annual parking passes 

Initially, in the partial year following the reopening, the required revenue target was not met. Fortunately, the campsite's revenue was sufficient to cover the shortfall for this resource. However, we are pleased to confirm that during this first full financial year, we are projected to break even. If achieved this means the Car Park and Green Building Facilities will be self-sustainable, which was one of the prerequisites of receiving the funding to develop this side of the site. Any surplus revenue generated by the end of the financial year will be reinvested into further improving this area of the site for our users.

Grandtully Station Park Annual Pass

The purchasing an annual parking pass plays an important part in helping to support this valuable year-round resource. For frequent visitors, the annual pass offers the best value, with the daily parking cost working out to only 3 - 5p per vehicle for a full day parking. 

We have recently updated how passes are sold. Previously, passes were assigned to a named person. Passes operated in conjunction with the slalom check-in system and each pass was for 1 person who could register up to two vehicles they typically drive. Passes are no longer linked to slalom check in and are now linked directly to a vehicle registration. We have also introduced new options, including family passes and passes for businesses and groups. There is now a special rate reduced by 20% for Paddle Scotland Members and Partners. 

Passes are now available to purchase for 2026 and will be valid from midnight on the 1st of January 2026. (2025 passes will remain valid until Friday the 9th of January to allow extra crossover time for admin over this busy time of year for many)
