Nice site with a very friendly and helpful owner, mainly caters for the static caravan market and as previously reported the dish washing facilities are just a couple of sinks in the open air - no fun if its raining!
The toilets are clean and plentiful but the showers at £1 for just about long enough for a 'woman shower' are more expensive than you should expect on a £18 per night site.
Little on site to occupy children but there was at least loads of room for them to run about.
Location is first class with nearby restaurants and forest walks

Stayed one night. It's a great location - Tayvallich is in a beautiful part of Scotland, and the campsite is smack dab in the the village, right next to a nice restaurant pub.
There are a bunch of statics at the front, then some hard standing pitches for tourers, and a couple of large fields for tents. The pitches are flat and mostly well drained.
The toilets are nice and clean. I didn't use the shower as I was only there one night, but there is one for each sex and they cost £1. The dishwashing sink is outside the toilet block, not under any cover.
As others have mentioned, there is a bunch of farm equipment about. If you have to pitch in the back of the back field, your view will be of things like an old car up on blocks and piles of gravel.
The owner if friendly and relaxed. I was eager to hit the road in the morning and was worried that I wouldn't be able to find him to pay, but he did appear just as I was starting my car. He probably thought I was trying to get away without paying!
The village is very nice. There's a good basic shop, a coffee shop right on the water serving breakfast and lunch, and the pub next to the campsite seems to take seafood seriously, as well as having some real ales on tap.

Very few sites in this area so we chanced upon this one and felt it was a good place to stop over for a night.
As said before the statics have the best views - but we found that using the pitches behind them still gave us a glimpse of the harbour. No other tourers or campers when we were there so site felt very quiet and peaceful.
Site was very clean and tidy, showers / toilets immaculate. £1 for a shower but good and hot. £18 for 1 night with hookup - adding showers £20 for a night isn't the cheapest but considering they have a captive market if you want a site with showers etc thought it wasn't too expensive.
A small shop in the village sells practically everything you could wish for - the cafe overlooking the harbour was stunning and served great coffee, lunches and cakes.

Review is much the same as previous in relation to site. What I don't like is pricing system. 3 man tent with three persons sharing £21 per night. Three man tent with one person £7 per night for same footprint. Only extra usage for 3 man is toilets. Shower is charged extra. So what then are the two extra persons in 3man tent getting for £14 other than sleeping on prepaid ground and being charged for it.

This is a magical little site that I have been to several times over the years. If you are looking for state of the art, then look elsewhere. If you want a stunning location, with a brilliant pub next door this is it. The owner is a real friendly guy with a very laid back attitude, never any hurry or formality around collecting camp fees. Just relax and pitch your tent and he will be along at some point, toilets are very clean with soap and towels.
There is a very 'west coast crofter ' feel about the place with bits of farm equipment, old boats and unfinished projects lying around at the back of the site, but strangely this actually adds a bit of rustic charm.
We will be back, without a doubt

The fact that the only people on this site with a view of the loch are in the statics wouldn't have been so bad if the price had reflected this. £18 a night is not good value for money to look at the back of a static and some derelict farm buildings. What was worse was the additional charge for a shower, of which there were only one for each sex.
The wardens, however, were very friendly and helpful which made up, in part, for a disappointing week-end.
