can anybody recomend a good site near loch lomond as close to the shaw as you can get. going up friday for three nights nut most of the reviews are bad

please help                      regards   terry

If the reviews are bad, then its usaully BAD! If you have had a last minute booking and its empty, then usually theres a reason. 2 + 2 and all that!

Good Luck

Sorry, forgot to mention I love Loch Lomond! Next to the loch, take your midge repellent!

Sorry its me again,

Have you tried going further up, Loch Gilphead is real nice, some good pubs etc.

What about Luss camp site?  I know peolpe who have stayed there and loved it.  We know the area as we used to travel past here all the time to get to Glasgow.

Lomond Woods used to take tents and was fab,but sadly they do not accept tents anymore.

Hiya, We went to Ballach which is right at the southern end of Loch Lomond, we went at Easter and thought it was fantastic.  The site was called Lomond Woods, 5 mins walk to the shore and visitors centre, with shops, T I centre, farmers and french market, boat and bike hire, cafes, sea life centre.  The village of Ballach is 5 mins walk away, Indian, Chinese, Italian, Chippy, Co op store, direct rail route to Glasgow. Macdonalds is on the doorstop, (we did not go), the site was lovely - however and a big however, I dont know if they have a tent area? Its worth a look though...

love your spelling of Balloch as Ballach cos thats the way the locals pronounce it. I lived there before moving to Carlisle.

The C&CC site (Malarochy Bay) is nice.  Stayed there Easter 2006.  I'ts also on the West Highland Route if you like walking.

First 6 pics are taken from the immediate area south of the site, 7 and 8 from the Camp site itself.  Sorry, can't find the pics of the site itself yet.

ended up at Malarochy Bay a very nice site indeed. fantastic views and a good pub for food down the road (the old tree inn) will be going again thanks for all your feedback.
