 Visited this site over May bank holiday, the reviews here are, as usual, very accurate.
Beautiful location, right at loch side, we booked a tent with electric and were placed up on the road side. The ground was too hard for ordinary pegs, not sure about other parts of the site but take rock pegs just in case you end up on the road side. Delta pegs went in with a few bashes from the mallet.
There are 2 toilet/shower blocks, one for backpackers which you would describe as cheap and cheerful and the other being the main block which was spotless.
Washing up facilities were fine, I didn't use the clothes washing facilities so can't comment.
OH likes a siesta on an afternoon of which I took full advantage and walked the loch side path to Balmaha, the real ale in the Oak Tree is very very good. It's a lovely walk, about 40 minutes each way.
Spent a day fishing on the loch, you can fish from the site but there are much better locations that aren't too far away.
The site was pretty much full but there was no noise to speak of at all, even before the requested quiet time on an evening. There is a little road noise depending on where you are situated but it's not too bad.
All in all I would give the site a thumbs up.
Would I go back? Unfortunately no.
We were eaten alive. From the moment I got out of the car, opened my mouth and the Scottish midgies realised I was English, they never left me alone. We tried everything from candles, to spray, to cream and more. The folks next to us were seasonal and said it gets worse from June onwards, so although beyond the control of the site, unfortunately that was my first and last trip to Lomond.

This was our first caravan outing and chose this location as it's only an hour from the house!
Very pleasantly surprised. This staff were extremely helpful and swapped our pitch to hard standing due to the weather. Also came down to help position the van. Toilets excellent and there is a baby changing facility which has a toilet, shower and sink allowing us to shower our 2 year old.
There is a small park with 2 swings, climbing frame with chute. Ideal for a quick play while making dinner :-)
We would definitely use again.
As per an earlier review watch out for the 90 degree bend to the 15% incline directly after the Balmaha marina.

The site is situated in a fabulous location. We were lucky to get a loch-side pitch and the views were stunning.
The weather had evidently been wet as the grass was pretty churned up - a grass pitch would have been a nightmare with 2 small children and a dog.
The toilet block was heated and very clean but it will be a bit of a trek if you are placed at the far end of the field. Staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome.
Some points to note:
The dog walk is virtually non existent - we took ours out of the site via a gap in the fence in the top corner.
There is a steep right hand bend as you leave Balmaha - it is wide enough but get in a low gear first and you will be fine.
We walked along the Loch to Balmaha - it is a lovely walk but we had to be careful to keep the dog and children away from the numerous old campfires and all the glass and toilet areas.

We came upon this site by chance when going to walk the West Highland Way and were very glad we did! Unfortunately we got very wet, the rain arriving with us, and we were in a tent so we stirred up rather a lot of mud but that was unavoidable. The site was excellent for our needs with the toilets and showers very warm and clean and other amenities available to suit. We were pitched next to Loch Lomond and the views were beautiful. Staff were more than helpful and very friendly. We could not fault anything! My only comment would be that it would have been good to have laundry facilities available in the evening rather than just the morning so we could wash whilst cooking the evening meal thus saving us valuable time. This is a site we will certainly visit again.

Just spent a very nice week here on the shores. Lovely site. Great friendly welcome and Wardens taking you round the site to choose pitch is always nice. Toilet blocks good, nice and well kept as you would expect. While we were there the weather was not too good and the grass pitches got a little churned but there are plenty of hard standings. Nice little play area for the Kids to keep them ocupied!
The site is right on the loch and there are some great walks leading from the site in all directions and at all levels. You do not need to be a hardened rock climber to attempt them. We spent a good day driving up to the highlands from the site. The roads are good and even in August did not seem busy. Glasgow, Stirling are only a few miles away and make a good day trip. Overall a great site for the Caravan and Camping Club.

Fantastic location on the edge of loch lomond. Showers very clean & well maintained. Unfortunately as we arrived, so did the rain, and the site was heavily waterlogged. It also suffers from midges & wasps, so don't forget your citronella.
Local pub within 40 minutes walking is great for bar meals & there is plenty of walking & hill climbing to be done nearby.
Lomond shores is a 20 minute drive away which has shops, cafes, restaurants, bike hire, canoe & kayak hire and also a sea life centre.
I will return one day!

Excellent site on the banks of Loch Lommond. Good access to Conic Hill. Shop is not the best stocked considering the location but staff were friendly and welcoming. Shower blocks are near reception and there is a 'backpackers' shower block, this is a shared facility so dont be surprised to see both sexes.
Flat level pitches for tents, most caravan pitches are gravel with grass to side for awnings. Gorgeous view across the ever changing loch Lommond skylines.
Would visit again.

Wonderful views, excellent on site facilities and extremely pleasant and helpful staff. Good walking area and boating facilities with slippage and mooring. Pleasant walk along the loch shore to Balmaha where excellent tearoom, pub and restaurant. At this time of year it was not unexpected to have some snow coverage and wet underfoot. Crisp clear air and blue skies (when permitted between showers) made it all worthwhile. The road at Balmaha takes a sharp 90 degree right turn and straight onto a 15% gradient uphill. Be carefull and have good brakes for the return journey which is downhill.

What a difference. Last time we visited Milarrochy Bay the tiles were falling off in the showers.
The facilities have all been improved and new ones added.
The views as always are stunning and the walking in the area is good.
We agree with the other reviewers in that it's worth a visit.

Absolutely super site, fantastic facilities, unbelievably helpful staff and a lovely spot. We found it by chance when the site we had booked down the road turned out to be terrible and have been for the last 3 weekends in a row.
This will definitely be on our favourites list this summer
