    We loved camping on the shores of the lock. We were happy to pay extra for the pitches and they didn't disappoint. Unfortunately the composting toilets were not looked after at all and were quite offensive. I lasted less than 5 seconds with the door closed before my eyes were streaming due to the ammonia. A cup of sawdust after each visit is all that's needed to address this. It meant that we didn't use the toilets at all which can't be good for the lake environment but needs must. We hope to return in the summer, I'll be checking for reviews before hand and may choose another site if nothing has changed.

    Amazing views, breathtaking. However 2 of the 3 toilets fans were broken which made going to the toilet unbearable. The smell was just awful, to the extend of boaking every time I went to the loo ! Also very noisy campsite with no-one monitoring it through the night. Big groups drinking and being rowdy, ruining the experience for other campers. No-one there to supervise the site through the night which is a shame.

    Loved this campsite - lochside pitches had a wild camping feel (it's one of a few places you can camp in the camping management zone). The facilities are basic but really all you need - the composting toilets were clean and well prpvisioed and not at all bad smelling. also better for the environment! The camp warden was really frieldny and helpful and as he litterpicked daily, the whole site was spotless!

    Great to revisit this site again. Booked a lochside pitch this time so that I could keep a better check on the children.Plenty space and very convenient to be able to hire the firepit for the colder time in the evening. Site was quiet this visit but good facilities with the composting toilet and fresh water. Will no doubt be back soon.

    1st time in a long while I've paid for the pleasure of camping in Scotland as I usually wild camp. But Salochy Bay was worth every penny for the beautiful views and the feeling of wild camping but with the added bonus of the very clean toilets. Would return in a heartbeat

    Worried that I would not get to the campsite in time to see the warden, I made it just in time. The warden was really nice about me being so close to closing and was helpful in pointing me to where to camp and find my stuff from the baggage transfer service. Facilities were good, though it would have been nice if there were showers as well. Cannot best the view and the price for which you get it!

    Site very clean and well maintained by the wardens who were friendly and helpful. Fire pits are a good size to keep you toasty in the cold nights and lots of logs are required to keep it burning for a few hours, purchase a good few bags or take your own wood as the wardens leave at 8pm and you cannot purchase any after they leave. We love Loch Lomond. xx

    This is a great campsite - (tents only no caravans). There are toilets and running water (no showers) but perfect for the wild camping experience with some facilities. highly reccomend Loch side camping so you get a stunning view of the water and a bit more privacy. spent 2 nights here and wouldve happily spent a week.

    The guard was very nice, and toilets/washing sink was clean. We decided to stay in main camp area instead of original lochside pitch. Was very wet and windy that night and woke up to a puddle underneath tent. Ground was uneven and patchy. Early up and away than planned.

    Booked a Loch side did not use as pitches need cleaned up, pitched in the grass area which just looks like a poorly kept lawn no defined pitches. The surface is uneven hence the reason woke in a puddle as drainage is poor. Would be better pitches were defined and raise slightly and flat, cut the grass. Toilets were clean and serviced

    My son and I stopped for a night on our way along the wet highland way. We camped on the loch side which is stunning. The ground there is extremely hard though, we had to borrow a mallet from another camper to get our pegs in. Fab site!
