North Ledaig near Oban is very good, right on the bay with sea views.  Also a bit further North, Bunree near Fort William.  Not on the sea but right on the shores of Loch Linnhe. There is a lighthouse, and boats and even quite big ships occasionally come past.

Arisaig is the ultimate place to camp on the west coast of scotland. Many campsites, there great beaches and fabulous views of the hebrides. There is a new road also making the journey quicker but still as beautiful.

you can nip up the road to mallaig and catch a ferry to skye if you want to see the wild west coast. ( we recommend Dunveigan, spotless shower block)

Then get bridge back over to kyle of lochalsh and mosey on up to Applecross, The road in is spectacular and scary but the campsite is well equiped, wifi etc. ( good luck if p*ssing with rain).

This would make a great week long tour of the west coast and you will feel as though you have travelled off the beaten track.

Actually i'm gonna pack my tent and do it again. I'll remember  midge net this time and one for my 3 year old.

Happy camping good luck

New England Bay CC Site has its own beach but you need to stock up with food as shops are few and far between.Its the only place we have been rock pooling and actually found anything.
