Cashel is an amasing campsite, one of my favourites in Scotland, and I've stayed in a lot of them. I've now visited Cashel at length quite a few times and have a good feel for it. Most basically, the location is spectacular, right on the east shore of gorgeous Loch Lomond. looking west across it with unobstructed views, along an usually nice section of coast. The more I've stayed here, the more I've come to appreciate what a treasure Loch Lomond is (for someone who lives in Glasgow and used to take it for granted). The premium campsites are only 10-15 feet from the water. From there, one is in a great position to enjoy the constantly changing sky and water, in their infinite forms, along with all the wildlife, including humans, that frequent the Loch. I've seen hundreds of geese swimming north at dusk, heading up the Loch to moult, and then return the way they came a month later, back to the farm next door where they graze in fields, easily accessible by turnstile. And then there are the contemplative paddle boarders at dawn on water of glass, not to mention the cold water swimmers in the spring. Another great feature of this campsite is the wonderful staff. They run a great facility and are always happy to serve and chat with a smile. They take considerable pride in the site and go to considerable lengths to maintain it well for the safety, wellbeing, and enjoyment of their guests. And then there are the amasing campers from all of over the world, camping in every conceivable way, with the diverse community changing daily, including many tent campers walking the West Highland Way. On a nice weekend, it's a little like being at a festival, although the staff insists that things quiet down by 10pm. Cashel Campsite is VERY popular, especially with the locals, so reserve early. I couldn't recommend a campsite more highly. IMHO it's a privilege to stay here.
