Why stay here ...

Ideally situated just 2 miles off both the M73 (main Scotland North-South route) and M8 (East-West) within the green belt and Glasgow's Seven Lochs Wetland Park Area.

Adjacent to a small farm and chalet and our 5 acres of woodland, this quiet site is a perfect stop-over or ideal base for exploring all that Glasgow and Southern Scotland has to offer. (Edinburgh, Stirling, Perth, Clyde Coast, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park are all less than an hour away).

P+R/Bus service into Glasgow 1/2 mile away and Rail Stations are within 2 miles.

Families are welcomed, but we don't provide any facilities for children. These are at Drumpellier Country Parkn which is only 3 minutes away and has full children's play facilities, a loch walk and miles of signposted trails etc.

Within 3 miles are the Time Capsule Waterpark/Ice Rink, and the [excellent, free] Summerlea Museum of Scottish Industrial Life, plus golf clubs and two excellent Retail Parks for shopping without going into the city.

There are smaller shops, supermarkets, takeaways etc within 1 mile.

EHU, WiFi and an enhanced Pitch are proposed - please check first if these are essential to you.

2 well behaved dogs only. This is a working farm so dogs would need to be on a leash at all times. There is no dog walking allowed on site/in the adjacent woods. (Drumpellier Park is less than 5 minutes away).

Facilities on site ...

This CL is a gem for off-grid tourers.

The owners, Christine and Paul are very friendly and welcoming and happy to give local information. The site is very roomy and despite the background noise from the motorway, very peaceful. Access to Glasgow could not be simpler with the blue train into Queen St station from Gartcosh - which has a large car park. We will certainly be back!

Close to Glasgow but country feel

Lochwood Farm
Although there’s constant background noise from the motorway this feels like a very rural location. The site is delightful in a clearing surrounded by trees.There was constant birdsong, we saw a very handsome fox, and heard owls and a woodpecker. Really useful stop over travelling to & from Highlands.

Ideal location

Lochwood Farm
Ideally located for Glasgow. Friendly welcome when we arrived. Very clear guidance beforehand on location of services and gate key code. Plenty of space on a pretty even field. Site is generally quiet, with occasional traffic noise. NB site is off Lockheed Road, which can be busy, and is not so easy to walk along in either direction.

Tranquility on the edge of Glasgow

Lochwood Farm
We stayed here for 2 nights in October as we wanted to visit a friend in hospital in Glasgow. It’s very handy for the city but is a tranquil site with open area for camping next to a wood and fields. Apart from some noise from aircraft the main sound at night was owls hooting. A pleasant welcome from Paul the owner. Minimum facility site, just what we were after. It is secure with a coded gate at the entrance. Despite having had lots of rain we had no difficulty driving onto and off the grass on site. Only a couple of miles from a Morrisons supermarket which has lpg, very handy. Buses nearby but we didn’t use these. Would definitely recommend this site.

Perfect for visiting Glasgow or enroute to the Scottish West Coast and Highlands

Lochwood Farm
We stopped over for 3 nights in September to visit friends in Glasgow and do a bit of sight seeing before going further north to the Isle of Skye. Such a nice little find is Lochwood Farm. We are self sufficient so chose this site in particular. So close to Glasgow city centre by car, bus or train. Nice that although the site is close to lots of housing estates you would never know it. It is surrounded by fields, has its own wood and is perfect for well behaved dog's. Roe deer, Muntjac deer, squirrels roam the adjoing fields and woods as well. Easy to find with the sat-nav which directs you straight to the site entance. Loads of imformation given when booking. A really nice welcome and with coded gate entrance feels very secure. Apart from seeing our friends the other highlight was a 25 mile drive to visit the Helix Park to see the Kelpies and the giant Falkirk wheel. Either one worth the drive and only 3 miles apart makes it a really good visitor destination. We will be going back on our next Scottish tour.
