We done it over 6 days and I can message you some of the spots we stayed at/saw en route.
I refuse to pay to sleep outside so I can't help you on campsites.
There is a designated wild camping spot in the restricted zone, there were plenty trees in the area and you wouldn't have a problem camping there. We camped just after conic hill (before balmaha where the restricted zone starts) then outside rowcoish bothy on the second night after the zone ends. Another option would be to hike away from the Loch to outside of the restricted zone. You can definitely avoid sleeping on the ground. When are you planning on going? It is a very busy trail, especially in the summer.
