Years since I was at that site, beautiful sunset views of Jura.
I'd suggest a loop - one way main road, other way ferries, don't do the ferry route on Sunday as you'll be waiting longer.
1. Ferry route. Western Ferries ro-ro from Greenock to Kirn (Dunoon), no booking. Drive over through Cowal to Portavadie (slow road - I won't detail every junction, Google Maps will show you). I love the section around the head of Loch Striven. CalMac ferry from Portavadie (just beyond a smart new hotel) to Tarbert - again, no booking, but this a smaller ro-ro. A83 south just out of town, turn right past the golf course, join the B8024 and drive round the coast to reach the site from the south: take this road cautiously, it has tight bends and some short steep sections, and is a National Cycle Route.
2. Main roads - A83 up Loch Lomond, over the Rest & Be Thankful (or the Old Military Road if it's closed by a landslip again) and follow that A83 through Inveraray, Lochgilphead and down Loch Fyne. Turn right a bit after Ardrishaig, onto the other end of the B8024, to reach the site from the north.
3. A good compromise route would be the Western Ferries over the Clyde but continue north on the A815 past Loch Eck to join the A83 beyond / west of The Rest.
You'll have read the site reviews, but I'd suggest taking what food & drink you need for starting as I can't remember how good the shop is at the site. The nearest supermarket is a Co-op at Lochgilphead. The Kilberry Inn down the road has won awards, its website is a good source of information about what to do locally.
Hope that helps.
