excellent stopover

We booked this at the last minute enroute from Oban as a stopover to prevent a 6 hour drive, we usually stop over in Moffat but though we would give this site a visit and we were not disappointed, its a lovely site and the perfect stopover for anyone travelling north or south. The site is located just off the M74 Motorway at J5/6 and located in the Strathclyde country park. The park grounds were great for a walk about after a few hours drive south, the check in was smooth and efficient and the warden was very helpful. The site is only c4 years old and still looks in pristine condition, the toilet block was immaculate and we liked the piped music too. some reviews we read made us sceptical before we booked, some pitches are nearer to the road so you would hear a slight road noise but we were on the south side of the toilet block and it was fine, and we were not disappointed and would definately return again for a longer stay.

Good Site

All new staff this year which I found unsatisfactory because it is a year round site and requires continuity. Having stayed 6/7 times last year I felt this year the staff, although good, were a bit in the dark and it was a very steep learning curve for them. Not their fault it is the club hierachry who in my book are themselves not competent as they do not run the sites themselves and have probably never had to do the wardens job. I believe all the hq office staff should gain experience on a site before being allowed to dictate how the site are run. The present wardens are good but there should have been more continuity from last year.

Not for us

We were warned about the noise from the roadworks, no fault of the cc. Good area for dog walkers, but too busy for our liking, we only stopped for one night on our way to stonehaven. Most probably will not return.

Good site

Stayed for 1 night in early May on our way north. We found it to be a well run site, and up to the normal high standards of the CC. There was some traffic noise, but this was not intrusive, and certainly did not spoil our stay. We will certainly return for a longer stay in order to visit Glasgow.

Expensive

£27.50 for one night with no awning and just two adults ,far to expensive CC what's that price all about. Profit was not the CC original concept it's a caravan club for members run by members so don't know who,s behind these price hikes. We did complain but it's not the wardens fault,only one toilet block open and constant noise from the motorway. We also stayed the next night at the Kendal site which also charged £27.50 for a sloping pitch not big enough for an awning the same site the week previous was £21.50 !!!!! Apparently it was because it was 1/2 term so how long has CC been doing what the airlines and Holiday company's do. Think this needs to be addressed at the AGM.

Doggy Paradise

Was noisy from the road nearby but you get used to it by the second night. Lovely dog walk and then right opposite the entrance a path leading to the hundreds of acres of walking and the lake in the country park. My pup just learned to swim there. Thought it strange that there was only one toilet block in use when the site was nearly full but the facilities were great and very clean. Having to pay cash for calor gas was very odd and meant I had to purchase it elsewhere.

WELL BELOW CARAVAN CLUB STANDARD

THIS SITE IS WELL BELOW CARAVAN CLUB STANDARD FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. IT WAS LIKE SLEEPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE M1. DESPITE THERE BEING OVER FIFTY UNITS ONLY FOUR TOILETS AND FOUR SHOWERS WERE OPENED, OTHERS WERE LOCKED, WHY? NO TOILET PAPER AT ALL IN THE TOILETS. JUST GLAD WE WERE ONLY STAYING FOR ONE NIGHT. WOULD NOT RETURN. WARDENS WERE FRIENDLY ON FIRST NIGHT,WHEN WE LEFT AND I WENT TO COMPLAIN( ALONG WITH ANOTHER MEMBER ) THERE WAS A LOCUM WARDEN WHO TRIED TO TELL US THAT THE TOILET PAPER WAS BEING STOLEN WHICH I REFUSE TO BELIEVE. THIS IS A VERY POOR LEVEL OF SERVICE.

What a delightful surprise on the edge of Glasgow

Loved this site. Okay there was road noise from the A725 and associated road works but we stopped 1 night on the way to Elgin and 1 night on the way back and stayed in 2 different locations, 1 well away from the road and 1 close too and it was a constant sound of traffic but not so bad to disturb very much. The site is in such a handy location for overnight stops and is well laid out. It is great for the dogs with a lovely dog walk (I even saw a deer in the woods just outside the site) and access to Strathclyde Country Park with all its facilities. As one expects with caravan club sites - loos were excellent. Good for the grandchildren too with a great play area and then just out of the gates acres of space - plus the Toby Carvery (nearly forgot that) - well it saves the cooking after a long journey and very nice it was too. Its strange to think that a site just off the M74 and the A725 - 2 very busy roads especially with the road works still there - can be peaceful and restful but it was. The staff were wonderful and as friendly and helpful as any we've come across. We wont be going back to Elgin for a couple of years (mother in law was born there so we go regularly) but there is no doubt we will be booking our over night stop at this site. Great location as a stop over but I think there is probably a lot to see in the area too so who knows - perhaps not just the 1 night but we might well stay a couple of nights to explore the Glasgow area instead of passing through as we have for the last 40 years. Thank you for providing us with this great site and thanks to the wonderful staff too who made even the shortest of stays so pleasant. A PS from my husband - please will other campers obey the speed limit and also be aware of the 1 way system and not go down it the wrong way.
