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 excellent 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 ...

  • Battery charging
  • Dog walk from site
  • Recycling facilities
  • TV reception: good
  • Working farm

Great location

Not only is this site well located as a stopover for journeys further up north or back down south, it is also ideal for trips into Glasgow itself. Its other great selling point is the helpfulness of the owners. Their flexibility on leaving and arrival times makes journey planning... Show more

Lovely site

This is a lovely, peaceful site which is ideal as a stopover or for visiting Glasgow. No EHU, but that's OK for us as we're self sufficient. Even though the motorway can be heard, it doesn't intrude on the general quietness of the site. Nice environment with... Show more

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... Show more

Close to Glasgow but country feel

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.

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... Show more

Tranquility on the edge of Glasgow

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... Show more

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

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... Show more

Our West Higland Way adventrue started and finished here

Always feels wrong to use a site for private parking but it was ideal for our purpose. As others have mentioned its just off the motorway network and cheap super market fuel inbetween (Morrisons - Easterhouse). We parked here for a total of 9 nights knowing it would be safe... Show more

Fine for Glasgow

The welcome was enjoyable as was the spacious site. Although only half mile from housing estates you would never know it. It was quite, secluded, secure with lovely country views. Within half mile regular buses to Glasgow city centre. We found the TV reception was intermittent
