Try my favourite site in Argyll - the Red Squirrel in Glencoe. Lots of space, trees, the river Coe nearby, cracking scenery, campfires allowed and a good pub half a mile away with live music Sat nights.

Purely a technicality, Jim, but Red Squirrel in Highland, not Argyll.  Wouldn't disagree with anything else you've said and love your photos!

To my mind, the problem with Argyll is that it's huge and varied, with differing experiences on offer. OP has to choose what she's happy with - there are always other opportunities.

Milarrochy Bay gets a vote from me, although we are a caravan so got a lochside pitch, and I mean 10ft from the waters edge...lovely.

BUT...they need to resurface the lochside road, bloody caravan nearly fell apart last easter

Argyll looking at Muasdale and Carradale, hopefully will fit 2 sites on, so pretty open to area/suggestions

Mausdale is a site that charges for dogs but does not supply any dog walking facilities.

When we enquired about this, they refused to answer us.

Necessary to say, that is one site we will not be using.

THIS site is just south of Mausdale and has good reviews.

Thanks for all the suggestions/comments will use as a reference library when we finally plan it!

Yes I would like a beach side camp for at least part of the trip

Carradale is the only one of the Kintyre sites I've stayed at and its the only CCC (?) site I've been to . I found it way too regimented for me but perhaps thats standard for CCC sites ( eg. key for toilet block ) and the tent pitches were furthest from the beach. Another consideration is that theres not much round about it and its on a particularly fierce single track road (esp.going south).

 Also it looks out to Arran and the mainland whereas if you're on the west side of Kintyre you have views and sunsets over Gigha, Jura etc , depending where you are.

 ( Should add, because the sites on sandy soil, theres plenty of rabbits about.......that'll keep the dogs amused !!!)

  Beg everyones pardon, indeed Carradale is not CCC site , its a Caravan club site ( I did put a question mark after CCC because I couldn't remember which it was ).

 Never did get the hang of which was which.
