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 a handful of pitches suitable for larger outfits, which can be arranged through the site staff.

The country park is a pleasant ten minute walk from the site, with 1,000 acres of mature woodlands, wetlands, wildlife refuges and neat open parkland, set around Strathclyde Loch, offering unique bird and nature watching, miles of walking and cycle routes, as well as a whole range of watersports and golf. 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. The shops and museums of Glasgow are within easy reach of the site and, further afield, Loch Lomond, Stirling and Edinburgh are within an hours drive, making this site an ideal base for exploring Southern Scotland.

Overnight stop

Strathclyde Country Park Club Campsite
We only stayed one night en route to north east Scotland. We have used this site in the past. The wardens were welcoming and friendly the pitches large and well spaced the shrubs have now grown so help break up the pitches. The only criticism (my husband is 6ft2ins) is that the accessible shower and mirrors in the washroom area are positioned for people of “shorter” stature, the shower adjustable arm needs lifting, but there is no room to elevate the mirrors unless they relocate to the partition walls. Apart from these observations the site is ideal.

A necessary evil

Strathclyde Country Park Club Campsite
We have to stay here. It’s the only site within range of where we want to be but I really wish this wasn’t the case. It’s just so unwelcoming and needlessly officious. The interrogation you get from the staff at check in where they are simply rude is deplorable and it’s backed up by a diatribe of justifying woes about their constant battle with both the caravan club and even worse, their members…. It’s a dreadful experience. Once you’re in it’s fine… The site is clean. We can put up with the motorway. Hopefully the next visit will see an improvement.

Excellent site

Strathclyde Country Park Club Campsite
Don't be put off by noisy site comments. Due to warm weather we had a fan on all night which was noisier than the traffic. Only when sat outside the van could the humming of the traffic be heard. Take care at the motorway junction as its whacky races and we got stuck in wrong lane and ended up back on M74 heading home!

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.
