Nestled on the edge of picturesque parkland, Strathclyde Country Park Club Campsite is the perfect holiday location for the entire family. On-site facilities include a woodland walk, play area for young children, as well as modern family washrooms and disabled facilities.

There are also several sites of historic interest within the parkland, such as the Bothwellhaugh Roman fort and bath house, and the nearby M and D's Theme Park is a great day out for kids.

Great Stopover near Glasgow
Strathclyde Country Park Club Campsite
We stayed here for 1 night on a Scotland tour, access was good and we were made to feel welcome. Pitch was level, facilities were clean. There is a Toby Carvery within 3 minutes walking distance and a country park within walking distance down the lane (we spotted deer walking along this road!). Downside is that this site is right next to very busy roads, however this becomes white noise after a while as you get used to it. We would return here as a stopover but its not a holiday destination for us.
EASY SITE TO FIND
Strathclyde Country Park Club Campsite
Do not be put off by comments about this being a noisy site. Yes you can here a gentle rumble of motorway traffic but this was not a problem to us. The site itself is flat and really spacious whichever pitch you choose. The facilities were beautifully warm and spotlessly clean. The perfect location for breaking a long journey north or south.
Excellent site but very noisy
Strathclyde Country Park Club Campsite
This site is right by the junction of the M74 and the A725, so don't expect it to be quiet - it isn't, it's easily the noisiest Club site I've stayed on. BUT we have stayed here twice and will probably do so again, because of its excellent location. It is very easy to find as long as you take the right junction off the motorway and follow the simple directions in the club handbook. The site is flat, we found TV reception really good (although the Club handbook says it's not) and the facilities are what you would expect from the Club and are of course cleaned daily. We didn't use WiFi.
You wouldn't choose this site for a peaceful, relaxing stay. As a night halt it's second to none being so close to the motorway, and for seeing the sights of Glasgow it's pretty good.
There is a Toby Carvery directly opposite the entrance. Not much else apart from the country park in the immediate vicinity.
It's quite a hike to Bellshill railway station, which has regular trains to Glasgow Central and Edinburgh and it's uphill all the way there, although obviously downhill all the way back! E-bikes make it an easy ride though and you can either go through the country park or straight up the cycle path alongside the busy A725.You can also go to the stations in Motherwell and Hamilton, but we used Bellshill so can't comment on the others.
There is a huge Tesco Metro and a large Morrisons Store in Bellshill. Both have petrol stations too.
Excellent site
Strathclyde Country Park Club Campsite
We have just left this campsite after stopping off on our way home from the NC500. We found the site very easily and were able to choose our pitch. The site is flat with well kept pitches surrounding an excellent facilities block in the middle of the park. The plants around the entrance is particularly well kept and the wardens clearly take pride in this. We had a lovely walk around the boating lake that was built a few years ago for the Commonwealth games and can be found by taking the small path through the woods directly opposite the site. We chatted to many locals on our way around who were extremely friendly and we finished off our day with an exceptional meal at the Toby Carvery round the corner from the site. After some of the disappointing reviews that have appeared on this site recently I felt it important to express how much we enjoyed our stay in this large and spacious site.

Overcrowded and overpriced
Strathclyde Country Park Club Campsite
Site difficult to find coming from M74, then badly signed within Country Park. Pitch difficult to find, driving round in concentric circles with no help from the warden in Reception and most places too small (despite having booked). No privacy between crowded pitches with noisy children and dogs. Motorway noise. WiFi only at reception with nowhere to sit and use it. The joy of overpriced July camping at its worst! As a new member, I expected better and won't be renewing next year.
