Advantages: Beautiful, quiet, perfect place to relax

Disadvantages: Can be really chilly if you don't check the weather

Loch Lomond is officially my favourite place in the world. Young or old, it will not fail to take your breath away. The scenery is captivating and there is plenty to do.

Last April myself and a few friends decided to take a weekend camping trip to Loch Lomond. Being Inexperienced in the camping field we did not know what to expect and didn't really know where at the Loch we were heading.

We arrived at about 2 pm and stopped of at a few places who were quite unwilling to take us as we were so young and automatically assumed we were there to be loud and roudy - this was not the case. After driving around for 5 hours in the snow (Yes, it was snowing, how silly we were) and many unsuccessful attempts at finding a place to sleep we headed round to the other side of the loch (Balloch) and eventually found a gorgeous wee campsite called Cashel at Rowardennan who were willing to take us on the basis we caused no trouble. This was fine by us. The staff were very friendly and the facilities were amazing, loo's and showers, a shop and we even got a pitch right by the loch. It wasn't too pricey and the views were excellent! We stayed for 3 nights and although it was rather cold we had an excellent time. What a feeling waking up in the morning to that scenery, it literally left me in awe. We didn't really leave the campsite as we were worried about our stuff but there is plenty to do around the loch e.g watersports, hiking and walking.

I will be going back soon for another weekend and would recommend it as the place to be for anyone, chill out and relax, or do some sports if your more active. It is fantastically beautiful (even in the snow) and there are plenty of places to stay, not just camping, there is hotels, caravan parks and I think there is even a hostel!

I can see why Loch Lomond is a National Park and has many songs and stories, it truely is spectacular.

Summary: World on its own, Amazing
