Milarrochy Bay

This is an excellent site that is well looked after. The staff are very friendly and work very hard to keep the site clean and tidy. I would just like to that Jo,Steve and the rest of their team for making our stay very enjoyable.

Lovely small site, but the facilities let this site down as its got push button showers with trough from the neighbouring shower which i absolutely hate. Club needs to improve and get rid of push buttons. People don't want scalding hot water. I've got better facilities in my motorhome compared to here. Makes me wonder why i pay to stay on club sites when the facilities are so dated. We'll be back but will use our own shower! Great walk into Balmaha from here, great views across the Loch. Malarrochy Bay is great at sunset.

Wonderful location with very friendly and helpful staff. Good walks directly from site and in area, including for dogs. We found no problem with TV but there is need to be very careful on approach. There is a sharp right hand blind bend in Balmaha but the real problem is that there is then a very steep although short hill. We were ok with our caravan but understand that some others had problems, including damage to clutches. Need 1st gear and be aware of poor road surface. Many places to visit; we were fortunate that Cowal open studio weekend coincided and if interested in art we can recommend this. If using ferry then buy tickets from newsagents though as cheaper than on ferry. Also excellent mobile take away at Rest and be Thanful on A83 if driving to Cowal.

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.
