Milarrochy Bay

The place is really clean, tidy and pretty. The staff really like what they do and getting involved with customers like doing a karaoke session on a Saturday night, but always respecting the sleeping times (karaoke finished quite early, at 10 p.m). You have to be aware of the office hours because if you arrive to the campsite out of these hours you can park your car in a little parking they have and get in walking. This is because you need a code for the door that they will give you (when they are in office hours). To leave the camping with your car you go through the other door that doesn't need a code but it's automatic, ii opens automatically when your car is close (unless it's 11 p.m at night that you can't come in with the car). They have a little shop with the basics (milk and things like that and things like gas bottles, etc). The lake by the camp site is beautiful and quite. It's very important that you take a repellent or something like this because there are midges and they warn about this. I didn't get bitten by any but just in case. They also recommend a repellent called Smidge that seems to be quite effective. The surroundings are also very nice. Balmaha is the closest town (but there is only 1 little shop, an amazing coffee shop and a wonderful restaurant called the Oat Tree which is also a hotel, a good one). Is like around 3 to 5 min. by car, 30 min. walking and one of the villages where the Highlands way passes by. The other restaurants that are really good too are in Drymen, like 10-15 min. by car where I highly recommend the Clachan Inn. There are so many things around, castles, rivers, Fort William, the Glen Nevis and the Steall waterfall, Stirling, the Wallace monument...that you can't get bored.

The site is situated on the lake so is perfect for launching, but is quite secluded. Balmaha is 1 1/2 miles away which has a village shop and cash point (which charges �1.75 for withdrawal). We travelled to Balloch a lot for shopping as there is a Co op, but there is also a Spar 5 miles away in Drymen with free cash withdrawal

The staff were really helpful and polite, the actual site is amazing for views across Loch Lomond the approach road is a little noisy / busy all day.Our tent pitch was facing the back packers facility although the packers were all polite and very nice the area become very busy around 6-10pm which made it quite noisy (the hand dryer in the toilets was right next to the door and was very loud packers used this to dry off boots / clothes which meant it seemed to be constantly on during the mentioned hours) however that was just our pitch the rest of the site seamed really peaceful, would recommend the site to active walkers or water sports.
