Haven't been there since I was a nipper, but assuming it hasn't changed much...

Pack a standard bushcraft set - tarp, bivi, bag, mat, cookset, etc. Then throw it all away and replace it with headnet, insect repellent, after-bite, mosi net, more repellent, more after bite, another headnet and so on...

Can you tell what my lasting memory of the place was?

I went last year and managed to have 3 days of sun 4 days of torrential rain and accidentally ate about 1,000 bugs.. managed to escape bites..starved a bit.. but it was worth it as camping by the loch was magical.. beautiful sunsets and lovely fires..amazing hills and walks..climbed ben lomond and managed to find a gorgeous beach on one of the islands.
