Just noticed Tommy, 3 nights in Bunree then 4 nights in Morvich. I underestimated the time between the two, its a long stretch between Bunree and Morvich towing a caravan, it took me just under 5 hours, tractors, trucks and bloody caravans!
4 nights in Morvich will hopefully give you 2-3 days on the water, weather permitting you'll have a great time. When are you going?

Yeah I think last time from home to bunree with a brew stop took over 5hrs.
Google maps is saying about 1hr 40mins from bunree to Morvich, so probably a good 2hrs with the 'van on the back.
As long as I get a day on the sib at each site, that'll do.
Stopping off at Maragowan for a couple of nights at River lochay just to break up the journey home.
Going in June ��

Wouldnt fancy your chances through Killin [emoji23] I believe you can get up from loch Tay a bit. I made a half hearted effort a few years ago but there was some big sand banks at the mouth of the river so sacked it off as not worth the risk. More sib than rib territory I’d say.

I’ve been up as far as the campsite no problem.
You can also launch at the river beside the Killin hotel

Diane's just corrected me - it was 5 hours from Loch Lomond, well I'm just the driver!

Yeah I'd be stay at the site at Killin. Looking at Google maps, looks like to keep to the right as the river starts to enter. There's the big sand bank Lankristy mentions if you branch left

You may be set on Killin but Kennore end is friendlier for launching. Few slips there not linked to accommodation as well as one at loch Tay highland lodges which I think is.
