 Absolutely cracking site, unfortunately our first night was upset by noisy neighbours. We tried reporting on the night but the wardens phone was off.
Spoke to them the next day and mentioned we wanted to move pitch. Immediately they said NO, not lets talk about it, just NO you cannot move. We met a couple who had paid for an extra night who decided to leave early, so their pitch would be free. Answer to this was also NO. Assistant wardens on this site could not make a decision because it may upset The Head Warden.
Again great site. 10 out of 10. Wardens 3 out of 10.

While the road is your typical 1. 5 lane road to get to the site there are plenty of areas for passing and arrival to the campsite is fairly straightforward. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and given an explanation of the site, facilities and a list of numbers for access, assistance, etc. Then we were escorted to our pitch where we received another quick brief and then allowed to go about our day.
The pitches do range in size but they were able to accommodate our 8x5m tent almost exact along with parking right next to it. The ground was grass for our pitch although the sod was only a few inches deep before you hit stone, I'm sure for load bearing, but it does mean many of your tent pegs might be raised higher than might be desired, still it's enough to hold the tent tight.
The site didn't get too noisy and seemed everyone respected the quiet hours well enough. Facilities are nice, although remember your access code if you're going to the loo in the middle of the night so you don't have to walk once and run a second time. Plenty of walking close by with the WHW right across the road, Conic Hill just to the South and so much more.
We enjoyed coffee and a toasty each day down at the coffee shop in Balmaha right across from the public toilets and parking, which at the time were all free and clean to use. Coffee, food and service at the coffee shop was great.
You can have a raised barbeque, which they supply bricks for if you don't have a raised one. You can't have a campfire but there is a beach nearby, about a 5min walk, where you could see a few fires flickering away in the evenings.
There are plenty of sheltered spots which can be nice in heavy winds but when the winds die down the midges come out in force so make sure you're taking some Smidge and a net for those times. When there's a good breeze though you can definitely enjoy sitting out and enjoying the views and the peace of a nice campsite.
Overall, highly recommend a visit here, I know we'll be back at one point.

This has to be my favourite camp site so far that I have stayed at. I booked in for three nights and wish I had booked for longer. I felt completely at home at Milarrochy bay caravanning and camp site.
I arrived early and was asked politely to wait until the check in time. I was shown to my pitch and the helpful steward suggested I back the car down the slight slope to my pitch in case it rained and got muddy. I had a clearly marked pitch, there is lots of room between pitches on this site.
Facilities were open and were kept very clean. There is a code system on the doors to stop people just walking in off the road and using them, and a barrier for vehicles you are given the code for. There is a one way system around the site. Lots of places for fresh water and waste disposal and a recycling area, all clearly marked.
The toilets and showers were kept extra clean and the water was very very hot every time I went in. The views from the site are lovely of the loch and surrounding countryside. It is a great base to explore from and the West Highland Way goes right past the entrance to the site.
This was my first visit to the site and certainly won't be my last. It was very well run and staff were eager to help people staying there. Well done.

Lovely site and great staff.
We were on a grass bank facing the loch which was nice but the grass was very wet. Not the site fault I know.
Toilet were good and hot but not the cleanest. As other have said the road up to site has a very steep bank that turns sharply at the top.
Good site and good location

Nothing was too much bother for these guys, campsite was immaculate.
Ideal for photography, amazing scenery.
Oak Tree pub and restaurant a couple of miles from site, very nice food and reasonable prices.
Will definitely go back.

We stayed a week, with our 2 teenage children and another family (our friends) in the adjoining pitch.
We didn't need electric and got allocated pitches beside the water. The view is gorgeous. We were bothered by midges, but had brought nets and some old joss sticks, which helped inside the tent.
The facilities are as we expect from C&CC sites. Given Covid and distancing some facilities were restricted, I didn't have any queueing for (male) toilets but did for the washing up sinks, and for the disabled toilet whe the mens was having it's deep clean.
I don't know what it is, but I always find C&CC sites oppressively quiet, with people (and children) keepng the noise down. We kept our two families as one bubble, but on our last two nights it sounded like a few families were having a big party together late at night.
It is a long but pleasant walk into the nearest town, or you could drive it. As families which included 8 & 11 year olds and up, we did manage to walk to the nearby town, and we played and picnicked on the nearby beaches. Bring your own barbecue fuel and equipment, do not use driftwood.

Nice views of loch lomond and friendly staff.
The site was very tidy and easy to access in a large motorhome.
Would recommend for families or couples. Shop was closed but close to the village where daily groceries were available

Excellent site and facilities. Cleaned throughout the day and not overbooking site made me not worry about contamination.
The staff were friendly and helpful.

What a great site, staff, facilities and location are superb.
Walks to die for, dog friendly, just great.
Nearby village is a safe walk through the woods and a great pub there also.
The staff take you to a pitch, if you don’t fancy it speak up, lots to choose from.
