Love this site

We have stayed here over the years since it was taken over by the CAMC. Its so handy for Glasgow with a quick taxi ride to Bellshill train station then onto Glasgow city centre. Yes its close to the M74 and A725 which are very busy roads but the traffic noise is not as bad as some reviewers make out it to be, ear plugs are not needed!! we have stayed on noiser sites away from main roads. The new road leaving the M74 makes accessing the site even easier. The facilities are first class and always immaculate, lovely and warm too, the wardens are always helpful and do a brilliant job of looking after this site. We have stayed here when some of the pitches have been closed, due to being water logged, that's what happens when you caravan all year round, but again not as bad as some reviewers say, the night we had no electric with the temperature in minus figures was one of our most enjoyable stays. The local eateries are great, Toby Cavery cheap and cheerful and and easy walk from the site or get a take away delivered from Bothwell, we can highly recommend a Chinese from there. We thoroughly enjoy staying at this site and cannot wait for our weekend in August.

Apprehensive but delighted

Having regularly driven past this area, this isn't a site I would really have chosen but the only option for a long weekend as everywhere else was booked up. However, the site turned out to be pretty much an oasis of calm and tranquility just off the motorway which was a nice surprise! (You can hear the motorway at night but it's steady drone of background noise rather than anything that would disturb you). All staff were great, site and facilities were spotlessly clean and we loved walks around Strathclyde Loch and Country Park. Some bits of M&Ds (not the main park) were just starting to reopen which we enjoyed with our kids. Drumpellier Park(about 15 mins away) is also worth a visit and has a great playground. Only complaint was the kids playground on the site was closed which strikes me as an unnecessary precaution when playgrounds are now open everywhere else.

Great staff and wonderfull site

Just got back from a couple of days here the staff where very helpful and friendly, the site is the usual standard excellent we liked the system for going in the showers, every body was issued with a thick rubber band which you hung on one of the three hooks outside the showers. only problem is members do need to abide with this rule it's not that difficult. But some people kept going in the showers and not putting there band on the hook and on a number of occasions there where bands left on hooks when nobody was inside very inconsiderate. that said we will defiantly be going back to this site well done to all the staff in these difficult times

Helpful Wardens

Would like to thank the wardens for their help on our emergency stay following the site closures. Although we were due to to stay for a week in April we instead had to arrange an ad hoc stay in order to get back home. The wardens were extremely helpful and made a stressfull situation so much easier. I look forward to revisiting the site and spending more time there in the future.

First time disappointed here

we Have visited Strathclyde park club site many times and always rate it highly. We were very disappointed this time as it was full of travellers. I counted 7 caravans all with commercial towing vehicles. The vans were going the wrong way round the one way system. The other half went in the ladies toilet block to find that every radiator had clothing hung on them to dry. They also had carpets hung over the one way sign. There were kids also playing in the ladies toilets. I believe the travellers were on site for 7 weeks. I thought there was a rule that states 30 days max in any one period. Hopefully on our next visit the site will be back to normal.

Not up to usual standard

Have stayed here many times, as we use it for visiting family. Normally it is super, well kept, clean, friendly staff etc. However on our last stay it felt more like a traveller site. The staff were,as ever, friendly and helpful, but there were lots of commercial vans speeding around ignoring one-way system, kids running all over everybody's sites etc. The men's loo was fine, but my wife tells me the ladies was a mess during the evening, dirty floor and loo paper all over. In fairness, she went back early next morning and it had all been cleaned up. I'm sure the staff were working hard (as ever), this is really more a reflection on some of our fellow campers than on the staff. We were only there one night, so just packed up and left next morning, didn't complain. Hopefully back to normal on our next visit.

Great Site for Dog Owners

Delighted that site adjacent to Strathclyde Country Park - ideal for dog walking - although the site has a very good dog walk - it was great to walk by the loch in the park. Site wardens really pleasant and helpful - and shower block immaculately clean. Liked the layout of the site - spacious pitches and well spaced. The A74 runs close to the site - my fears that it would disrupt sleep were unfounded - it's just a background noise. I was staying her to visit friends in Glasgow - very convenient spot for the city.

Stop over.

Used this site as a stop over only. Usual welcome about how to park. Where everything is. Site immaculate well looked after. Toilet block was cleaned but later on at night it took my husband to find a clean toilet to use. With excrement and urine all over them. The caravaners on site where off an older age like us and to leave a toilet in this condition is disgusting. Remember there are lots of us who have to use these facilities as well. So show respect and leave as you find. The wardens do not deserve this either.

Good for a stopover

I have been coming to this site since it opened, and the people who use it now seem to abuse the facilities. Perhaps it's because it is a non member site and every body and their uncle can use it, The staff must have had a sign machine for Christmas because their are signs every where. My biggest complaint is on arrival they ask you have you been here before and when you say yes they go into jobsworth mode informing you of the site plan, how to park even though you have been caravaning for a few years which they can tell by your membership number. It makes a good place to stop over night but not long term.
