PEACEFUL SITE ON THE EDGE OF GLASGOW
We have stayed on this CL literally dozens of times over the past 10 years - sometimes 3 times a year. It is just so absolutely peaceful but so close to Glasgow and hundreds of attractions. It makes no claims to be the perfect CL and is completely unpretentious but that in a way is it's charm. It's all on hardstanding and is surrounded by a large grass field and some flower beds together with a stream running through. The new part of the M80 is about half a mile to the South, but as it's on the other side of a hill it's just a distant hum and that's really just at rush hour. Otherwise the road network round about is very quiet. The site looks out onto the Campsie Fells, a beautiful range of hills at the southernmost tip of the Highlands. Best views are spring and autumn when there are no leaves on the trees. Some lovely drives up the hills where you can look down on the area of the site. Very close to Kirkintilloch (2.5 miles) for Lidl/Tesco/Sainsburys or Cumbernauld (4.5 miles) for 24 hour Tesco and Asda plus various shopping centres. Centre of Glasgow just 9 miles on the M80 or use satnav to take the shortest route through some winding back roads and you'll get some great views. As previous reviewers have said not really any walks direct from the site but drive a couple of miles to Twechar or Kirkintilloch and walk along the towpath of The Forth & Clyde Canal. As far as I know there are no bus services either until you get to Westfield about 1.5 miles. Can thoroughly recommend this CL as a peaceful oasis - don't expect 5 star luxury but I think you'll see it's magic when you get there.
