Camping beside Loch Katrine?

[Christopher]

hi all
I know there is a private road up most of the side of the loch and cyclists can use it, but are there good ned-free* campsites that passing hikers or cycle-tourists can use? I mean wild-camping, not organised sites. It just looks like such an amazing place on the maps, and fairly reachable from wherever I would get off the train...


*of course they can camp too but I can't see them walking very far!

Ive cycled a loop around loch katrine, see my blog post about it here. we just did a day trip.

You can't cycle around the whole loch because Ben Venue gets in the way so we went to Aberfoyle first and then along the B829.

I think I would probably recommend Glen Gyle for a wild campspot as its about as far as you can get from the carpark! there are several nice promatories into the loch, one of which has a graveyard on it, that you could camp on if you fancied. and there are quite a few flatish bits beside Loch Arklet if you fancied that instead.
