The area has some great organised campsites. Launching at Milorachy is via the beach, however we have launched there a number of times, the beach. Is more than suitable. Make sure you buy a chart of the loch from the rangers, navigation is straightforward.

Spots to look out for are:
Seaplane take off/landing at Cameron House (Also marina with petrol)
Inchmurrin Hotel (own jetty)
The Cruin (Own pontoon)
Luss Village and pier with floating pontoon
Rowardennan Hotel
The narrows (stunning!!)
At the top of the Loch the landscape changes and becomes very 'Fjord like' in appearance, watch out for Rob Roys cave, the best coffee on the Loch is at Cafe Lochan (Tarbet Pier and Inveruglas Pontoons), then on to Ardlui for the hotel and marina with petrol.

All in all it is a great cruising destination.

Please obtain a copy of the byelaws and enjoy a very special Loch.

And if you fancy a bit of low speed adventure, the river at the north end of the loch beyond Ardui - Moor at the fork & walk 5 mins to the Drover's Inn - Real laes, log fires and all that sort of stuff.

thanks for feed back guys, any other touring caravan sites along the shore or recommended self catering facilities, looking forward to getting up there and making the most of the week regardless of the weather conditions, anyone else around that same week.
