I’m looking to do this as part of a trip down the west of Scotland in September.

I would appreciate any recommendation for quiet campsites as well as wild spots along the way. Mainly looking for great views and rural locations where possible
 
Scourie has a good campsite, the Anchorage if memory serves me well, but I’d personally wild camp.
 
What irritates me is these so called routes are set up, nothing is done to improve facilities or infrastructure, and when they become overused guess who ends up being portrayed as the bad guys. It’s the same with road tariff equivalent ferry fares. The islanders campaigned for reduced fares to reduce their costs and to help stimulate business. Then when their inadequate road infrastructure and lack of facilities are put to the test the usual culprits who campaigned for the cheaper ferries are first to complain, and they vent their fury mainly in our direction. Prime culprit was Mull who were not on the initial list of islands to be covered by RTE.
These routes attract many from Europe who read about such routes and turn up in large numbers to use them. Many of whom being unaware that the facilities they take for granted in Europe are not available here.

If you build it they'll come .
Unfortunately nothing was built , we just gave them directions
 
Not sure if near your route but i use these 2 campsites regularly when up the west coast. Just google them for info.
Melon Udrigle campsite. Very basic, no ehu or toilets / showers but beautiful locations with a fabulous beach.
Port A Bhaigh campsite, overlooking the summer isles. Small family run site with all facilities including a shop.
