The site is handy as a stopover when travelling north or south. It's great for watersports and views of Loch Lomond. The downside is that it is noisy 24/7 with the busy A82 running alongside it.
The site is open to non-members of CCC, despite the unwelcoming signs; you just pay a bit more per night. It would have been about £16 as members, we paid £24 a night which we thought was over-priced after the other Scottish sites we had visited. Be sure to ask for the over-60's discount if applicable as it was not volunteered to us.
The site has ample, clean washing facilities, although we didn't see any evidence of a shop or a room for campers (which other reviews mentioned). The site WiFi didn't extend as far as our tent.
The site didn't appeal to us because it was so large and hardly anyone even made eye-contact.
Our pitch was poorly drained and after a few hours the tent entrance was pretty muddy. We noticed other places where tyres had sunk in as the site had insufficient space to have cars parking on hard-standing. Since Scotland is known for its rainfall, I'm surprised the CCC haven't taken this issue more seriously, because it must be making life more difficult for the very busy and hard-working staff.
