Giant Stoneater and rgf101 are correct. There shouldn't be any problems camping there. It is highly unlikely that there will be any facilities though.
Do you have the Harvey's map Lee? This lists all the designated wild camp areas on it?
As regards your schedule, how many are in your group? When I done it last year I wild camped in Garadbhan forest, however this is right at end of it, basically at foot of Conic Hill. I never noticed anywhere else suitable, and especially not for a group of one or more tents. However maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough.
The area that I wild camped at in Garadbhan is roughly about 16-17 miles in. If you like for an alternative on your first day you can camp at Drymen Campsite (11 miles in). Facilities are really basic, but it does have showers, toilets, sink, and a covered seating area. It costs £5 a night and you just leave money in honesty box. From here you are about 1 mile into Drymen if you need to replenish any supplies, go for something to eat, or visit pub for a pint.
This will then make your second day into Salloch roughly about same distance as your first day. As far as I can remember I don't think Sallochy has many facilities (I may be mistaken however). There are 2 other campsites just before it, Millarochy and Cashel, both of these have excellent facilities and a shop each.
Your third day will be tough, but still achievable. The stretch north of Inversnaid is tough, however Beinglas Farm is an excellent camp site with excellent facilities, shop and an excellent restaurant/bar.
Your fourth day I take it you are aiming for Tyndrum? If you feel fit you can carry on by Tyndrum until Bridge of Orchy (a further 6 miles), here there is a hotel where you can get a meal and a drink, there is also an area to wild camp over the bridge by river. Inverornan which is again a few miles by Bridge of Orchy is another wild camp area.
As one of the other posters has stated, instead of Kingshouse you can stay at Glencoe, this has facilities.
Kinlochleven has Blackwater Hostel, this has excellent facilities and an excellent drying room, if any of your gear is wet. There is also McDonald Hotel in Kinlochleven.
If you want any further info feel free to ask away or pm if you like.
Above all else enjoy your walk, I'm sure you will love it. The good thing about WHW is there are so many plans en route, that plans can easily be changed or deviated from.
All the best.
