Following on from a successful camp on Loch Lomond last easter we booked a week at Milarrochy Bay Campsite on the shores of Loch Lomond...
https://www.campingandcaravanningcl...rrochy-bay-camping-and-caravanning-club-site/
Today they called and cancelled us due to the ground being waterlogged. Nothing you can do about that I suppose!
In fairness to them i'd rather they cancelled us than us have a mud bath or be flooded, more notice or even a warning may have been good, but in all honesty, its been raining, its early spring and its right on the Loch, is warning enough!
Anyways...
But it leaves us almost all packed, leave booked, kids excited and ready to go, but with nowhere to go.
We will be travelling as a 2 families of 2 adults, 2 kids (tent) - 2 Adults 4 kids (tents) and 2 old ladies (grannies) in a campervan.
*the tents will need electric hook up, the van not so much
We've tried Luss, but they can't accommodate the van, Cashel isn't responding to calls.
We are now looking for an alternative site.
We've got Paddle Boards, Kayaks and keen swimmers and was planning on just larking about on the Loch as we did last year as well as some cycling. It doesn't have to be on-top of civilisation as we pretty much didn't leave the site last year - we just take food for 5 days and crack on..
Can anyone recommend us a "car boot campsite" ideally on water...
We're based in North West England and would be looking for anywhere half decent within a 3-4 hour drive in any direction.
Any recommendations?
Despite the Cancellation I would recommend the site at Milarrochy to anyone (outside of midge season).
