Lochan coire nam miseach is alright, I camped there last time I was on the ridge mainly cos it was hosing down. You can't camp right at the lochside, but there are good spots just below it.

If the weather's good then the summit of Sgurr an Iubhair is a far better location for an overnighter.

Aye there is plenty of opportunity for camping on the ridge so no difficulties, unless you are an OCD planner? :lol: As for parking, you want to park in Kinlochleven and steal a go of the via farrata next to the waterfall on your way up ;)

Hi there I just done the eastern 4 Munro's on Tuesday there, an amazing day out and the only one on the hills. You can park for free between the masonic lodge and church, it is on Wades Road Kinlochleven right near the waterfall and the path here takes you east right to near Loch Eilde for an anti clockwise circuit.
