 Nice site on shore of Loch Lomond, good toilets and showers, all showers had shower curtains.

Good facilities kitchen (microwave and kettle), and inside seating for meals for back packers on West Highland Way.

Plenty of walks from site.

 Our first visit to Milarrochy campsite, what a beautiful setting once you get here, and no midges. The road surface to Balmaha is not good in places, and there is a tight turn up a steep hill coming out from Balmaha to get to the campsite.

On the edge of Loch Lomond, the site has a peaceful setting, and has many grass pitches for campers and well maintained, flat, large hardstanding pitches too.

The wardens were very friendly and helpful on arrival and during our stay, especially helping us to pay.

The facilities were good and clean, however, TV and Wifi signals were patchy at times although 4G signal was ok.

It was quiet on site even though it was relatively busy during our stay, with many people (including us) using the site as a one or two night stopover.

The site is approx. A 40m walk to nearest bus stop, shop and pub in Balmaha along an undulating scenic coastal lake path thus avoiding many of the hills.

The setting of Milarrochy site reminded us a bit of one our favourite sites, Keswick CCC site, but not as big, or close to shops etc.

 Ive stayed before - and its a great site - I was heading back from Inverie and stopped here to break the journey for a single night.

Still the same great site as September 2024 when I stayed

 Had a wonderful stay.

Thankfully - the midges were not a problem mid September.

Some wonderful hiking up Ben Lomond

There was a dedicated hikers hut/kitchen/showers - mainly used by those doing the west highland way.

But also the larger shower block - all spotless and wonderful.

 2nd day on this beautiful site l had a heart attack and was rushed to hospital in Glasgow leaving my wife on her own with our dog.

The site staff were unbelievably kind and looked after her so well, including getting shopping and when l left hospital after 3 days a member of staff came and collected me bringing my wife along as well.

We shall never forget their kindness. They proved this really is The Friendly Club.

Date of Visit: September 2023 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Nights stayed: 3 Travelling as:  Retired couple
Reviewer: Pendywooley 58 reviews from this member

 Totally agree with Sept 22 remarks about that tight bend and incline, thanks goodness our car is a good tug! On leaving we were dreading it and guess what- met a road cleaner on that bend! Ours is a long 'van but we made it. The road narrows again further up, and Bunty now needs some T Cut treatment.

The warden directed us to pitch, having to go wrong way round roundabout because of length. Unfortunately the large pitch lower down the site had been taken, so we ended up on a shelf with a slope that we couldn't correct due to trees etc. Felt bit isolated up there.

Fairly lucky with weather, only one morning of drizzle. There are 2 beaches that you can launch from, one with a landing, great views.

This site has a cabin for hikers with loos and areas to dry clothes.

The main toilet block was further away behind reception. It needs revamping, looking very tired and odd layout.

Midges got me, even on my face, forgetting to put on repellent before evening, OH not one bite.

Glad I had provisions in, as the roads and speed of some drivers was scary.

Would I stay here again? Probably not, unless allocated a large pitch on the lower levels.

 Location and views make up for the few negatives of this site,

The first of which is that tight bend and 15% gradient on the approach road, glad I wasn't towing a caravan, secondly, when site is busy the choice of pitches is limited to shaded areas with poor hardstanding, thirdly the elsan point needs a good clean and tidying up.

That's it really, the fact that you can be on the 'beach ' in seconds and launch your canoe or swim if you wish, makes up for it.

 Lovely clean site. Friendly welcome. Right on the edge of Loch Lomand. Access to jetty and slipway and small pebble beach. Fantastic views from majority pitches.

Would definitely return. This is a area of outstanding beauty. Plenty of walks for all levels.

Cruises on loch Lomand from Balloch a small village referred to as the gateway of Loch Lomand and Trossachs National Park.

 Oh! What a beautiful site. We've got to return for longer next time. So beautifully laid out, and what a gorgeous view of Loch Lomond.

Showers were great. I've not long fallen and damaged my knee so had to hobble to shower but was delighted to find it was a walk in one, with non slip flooring and a handle on the back wall so I could shower in confidence.

Really really nice friendly helpful wardens and a useful little shop for essentials. So peaceful too.

 A well laid out site, friendly staff, close to town with supermarket and dog friendly pub.

Trouble is it was a mosquito haven. Thousands of them ended cutting stay short so be aware, take plenty of mozzi spray.

I wouldn't visit again purely because of the mosquito, site lovely.

So my mark is for the site alone and not for things out of there control.
