Visiting friends and Glasgow

The site is easy to find being straight off the M8 opposite Hamilton, this of course does have its down side as there is constant road noise which you have to get used to. The site is flat and accessible, although it is a nuisance at the moment as there are lots of road improvements near by especially the main roundabout off the M8/Hamilton/Edinburgh. The staff were welcoming and we were able to select our own pitch. The site is ideal for visiting Glasgow as we drove a few miles and caught the train from Bothwell station, free car parking. Toilet facilities were excellent.

Lovely site, friendly staff, BUT.....

This was a lovely clean site, well set out and the staff were all very friendly. Some nice walks round the loch and in the woods BUT it is NOISY. It is bordered on two sides by major roads, which is obvious from the map in the Site Book, but it doesn't seem to quiet down at night and the noise from generators which are used to power lights to the nearby house is horrendous at night. Unfortunately, this is not a site I would reccommend for an extended stay, HOWEVER, if you are travelling North to South, or South to North and need an overnight stop, this would be ideal as it is close to the M74 and there are two good eateries within walking distance.

Excellent virtually level site.

I have given top marks for everything regarding the site albeit our trip was a nightmare due to the atrocious road conditions through roadworks and lack of communication from the Council. However, the site management couldn't have been more understanding or helpful after it took me 2 hours and 45 minutes to come off the motorway at junction 5 to enter the fifth turn taking me to the site approximately 2 miles. The lights were obviously out of sync. I therefore advise anyone travelling to the site to come off at junction 6 and go through the country park if you are coming from the south. You seem able to go south re 1st exit on departure with out any problems. Obviously those exiting to go north would b advised to travel through the park to and get on at junction 6 albeit out of your way it will be a lot faster. The site believe the road works will end May 2017 but someone else I spoke to said August 2017 so please check. Reception cannot be more helpful and understanding and the site is ideal for travelling around as so convenient normally for the road network.

Lovely site

This site is only 20 minutes from our door and we decided it would be perfect to trial our new van. The access to the site is good, especially as the nearby Raith Interchange is nearing completion. The wardens are lovely and very helpful. We used a serviced pitch so that we could try out everything on the caravan, these, like the other pitches are a great size and have their own tap and drain. A number of reviewers have mentioned the road noise. Yes, there is a constant hum from the M74 but it never spoiled our stay and wasn't really noticable inside the caravan. Hopefully once the trees gain some leaves and others grow up the noise will be even less. We look forward to visiting Strathclyde Country Park again.

Excellent site - great stopover - great for dogs...

This is an excellent site - we were down from the Highlands, travelling with our dogs, and overnighting between a conference half an hour away north and a day of shopping at Braehead; so this made the perfect stopover location for us. A very warm and cheery welcome from the temporary winter wardens - a well kept site with fabulous, warm and clean facilities too. Great dog walking and rambling just across the way on Strathclyde Country Park and the Toby Inn carvery, just a short walk away, hit the spot perfectly after a day of talking/listening and travelling! Just off the motorway and easy to find - there was a background drone from the traffic, as you would expect, but this didn't disturb our sleep or our enjoyment of the site. We'll definitely be back.

Ideal site for city visit or country break

We enjoyed a winter weekend over New Year and thoroughly enjoyed the location and facilities. The dogs enjoyed a long walk round the loch. The whole site is neat and spotlessly clean and the shower block very warm and comfortable. One niggle: the Motorhome service point features two waste drains [great for whichever side of your van the waste drains from] but the drains are sited on a raised tarmac mound which means any spillage drains away around it and collects in a puddle: frozen solid in winter of course, making it very icy along the front of the toilet block. There is of course a raised pavement. Surely, though, the drains would be better in a slight recess if anything? That's a minor thing, though, and overall it is a great site and well worth a short or long stay with all the great places nearby.

Excellent Centre

Not having visited Glasgow previously, Strathclyde was the obvious choice and it turned out to be an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding area. We were warned that getting into Glasgow by car would be horrendous, but it was very easy with a little forward planning. The city centre is built on a grid system so if a mistake was made, then keep turning left and you return to your starting point. here is so much to see, from the various museums, cathedrals etc. As a dog owner I found the official dog walk excellent, but on exploring Strathclyde park there were hundreds of accessible acres of dog-friendly areas. On my visit the theme park was closed which gave me even more freedom. The site is very well laid out and the amenities were excellent and spotlessly clean at all times, only thanks to the hard-working wardens.

Winter Week

I was volunteering at an event near Glasgow in November and stayed here for the first time. I found the toilet block to be exceptionally clean and very warm which was great for that time of the year. The in place warden and his wife who came from Elgin were great hosts and good company. The location of the site gave me easy access to the M74 and had I the time to do so would have used the pub and restaurant less than a few hundred yards away. I found there was a private bus service available to take you to Glasgow town centre and this was being used by others from the site - very handy. People should not be put off by its location to the M74 - it is not noticeable and that is despite the roadworks taking place there. I understand there is a rail station close by for access to Glasgow central. Great location to give easy access to the central road network

Why?

The first thing I asked was "Why are we going to this site"! The answer was "Glasgow". There is a mini-bus which runs to the center of Glasgow daily at a cost of £7.50 (or less is in a group) It returns at a pre-arranged time in the afternoon. Glasgow has three outstanding art galleries (The Burrel. Kelvingrove and the Huntarian) as well as the Riverside with a magnificent collection of Transport items. The site is large and flat. As the previous reviewer states it is subject to the continuous of road "hum" which you soon get used to. It has one of the best on site dog walks (about 800 meters) aa well has great walks in the park and surrounding woods. There are two restaurants within easy walking distance i.e. 400 meters. Well worth a visit.
