Well kept friendly site

We stayed here for 3 nights to visit Glasgow. The site is very well kept and maintained and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The proximity to the country park is probably a big attraction to many and we enjoyed a walk around it. The site is easily accessible by major roads and hence there is some traffic noise. If you like TV I'd suggest you bring an aerial cable as they were out of stock. Our small satellite dish couldn't pick up anything either. Getting into Glasgow requires getting to the nearest station, there are no buses to speak of. We used the local taxi and they were very prompt. As well as Glasgow we visited the Falkirk Wheel and Kelpies which are relatively near. Would come back again ( with aerial cable!)

What an absolute gem

Where do we start? We stayed here last year in a tent en route to Arran, Barra, Skye and the NC500. We were SO impressed, we decided to stay this year in the motorhome. Absolutely fab. Wee bit of road noise, not noticable through the night. We had the misfortune to have an issue with the van when we were there. No problem for the crew, they rebooked us for another week and were so accommodating. The staff are excellent, they work super hard and are really friendly. Book with confidence. Thank you so very much for all your help. Facilities spotless. We will see ye on the way back down from the highlands. Highly recommended. Bailey the dug loved it, he met deer, squirrels and plenty other well behaved doggles.

Couldn't have done more for us

Staff were kind and ever so helpful, unfortunately I had an accident getting on my motorbike and severely injured my knee. The staff were supportive straight away providing initial first aid support and calling for an ambulance. Unfortunately due to delays the ambulance was advising they offered to take me to A & E by the staff members helping me. I decided not to go to A & E and to remain on site and rest my knee. The staff allowed us to pitch the tent close by the shower and toilet block despite it not being in use due to a boiler fault and opened it up for me to ensure I didn't have far to go to the toilet. They also provided ice blocks and a chair for me. The kindness shone I cannot fault, it was very much appreciated. We have stayed on this site before on a number of occasions when travelling north and will use again in the future. The site is always clean and tidy with good facilities. Would definitely recommend.

Good Stopover convenient for Glasgow

We used this site as a base for attending a function at Hotel within the park. It is very convenient being close to motorway. Very easy access to Park facilities. There is a theme park, lake, Two Hotels and Pizza restaurant within walking distance in park. Great path network and dog walking. Did not see any local shops or Public transport but Park and Ride was mentioned. Pitches are spacious with nice grassy areas. Two toilet blocks are both very clean but showers in smaller one were out of action, not a problem though. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Grass was being allowed to grow for wildlife which wasn't a problem as plenty of access paths. There is Road Noise but it didnt worry us. Park itself is very busy but site is well out of the way of the main road circuit. Enjoyed our visit Andy and Anne

Noisy

Excellent location and staff but the noise from the motorways was such that if we had known, we wouldn't have booked. First and last time here.

Very convenient stopover

We stayed for 1 night on our way up to the Cairngorms. Really convenient as just off the motorway. Also 2 supermarkets nearby for topping up with food and fuel. Large adjoining park with lake to stretch our legs and get some fresh air. Staff provided helpful suggestions of places to visit on our onward journey by Loch Lomond.

Great central location for storage and as a base to explore to east or west.

We store our caravan here. As golfers, we can easily access both east or west coasts within an hour. It also has excellent access to the road network, for taking the caravan in any direction.

good site in convenient location

First time of using this as a stop off site. Very convenient for motorway (there is sound from it). Also good for other facilities and filling up. Good dog walk on site and also in country park (bit littered, but good for walking). Three deer seen on site along with other wildlife!

Excellent Site

We have our caravan stored at Strathclyde Park which makes it an ideal site for getting our van ready for the new season and making sure everything still works after the winter. The site is well laid out and very flat. We have never had any issues with levelling on the pitches. There are a mixture of services and unserviced pitches and all are reasonably close to the toilet/shower blocks. The facilities are always clean and up to date. There is plenty to do in Strathclyde Park, it is excellent for walking and cycling with a loop around the loch. M&Ds Theme Park is good for the kids and there are one or two places to eat including the Toby Carvery and Alona Hotel. There are also some good restaurants in Hamilton, Bellshill and Motherwell, which are all close to the site. Strathclyde Park is very handy for getting into Glasgow, you can drive into the city centre within 20 minutes. There are also buses and trains into the town from Motherwell, Bellshill and Hamilton.

A good stop off, not great for visiting Glasgow

I came here just for one night on my way further north; perhaps one night is not enough to judge a site, but it was my second visit. As on my first visit, I was really stuck by how well kept and how pretty this site is – despite, on this occasion, the beginning of the ravages of autumn. There are a number of nice touches. The site is also very convenient as a stopping off point for those travelling to the further reaches of Scotland, being just off the A74(M). The adjacent country park is also worth a visit – something of an oasis in the suburban sprawl of outer Glasgow.

I don’t think I would recommend it as a place to stay in order to visit Glasgow for those, mostly motorhomers I suppose, who rely on public transport. Reaching a bus is somewhat convoluted albeit that they can be reached without having to negotiate busy roads, there being paths and bridgeways. The nearest railway station is a long walk and a taxi would be better. Ayr is a favourite site of mine, and it is very easy to visit Glasgow by catching the train from there; I would choose that for those wanting to visit Glasgow except it closes in winter (sadly).

The other downside, for me, of this site, is its size. It is exceptionally large. It is a very personal view, but I prefer smaller sites.

Those easily impacted by a bit of traffic noise will also probably not like it here; but this is never an issue for me.

I only met one site manager and to be blunt I found him a tad supercilious, but on that I’ll say nothing more. Mostly, wardens are so kind and helpful.
