We stayed here for one night on our way to Altnaharra as it is approximately half way between there and home. We booked a service pitch for the night so we wouldn't have to fill / drain aqua rolls and waste tanks etc. The service pitches are set out so you can only reverse onto them on the right hand side of the water point. If you have to go on the left, you either have to have a double length standard hose (or 2 standards joined together) or you have to go nose first. We had to go on the left of the water point as there were only 2 pitches available and they were both on the left (we now kniow why). Not a problem going nose first with a motor mover but it would have been awful without one as the shingle was fairly deep and loose. However, going nose in presented another problem - the waste outlets on our Bailey were now at the farthest point away from the drain. Luckily, I'd just bought an extra 5 metres of grey pipe and it only just stretched to the drain point. The warden was not very helpful and suggested we complain to the club as they could not get anything changed themselves. The idea of getting a good rest before the next 250 miles to Altnaharra went out of the window as the road works generators on the very nearby M74 project started up and road work trucks etc. trundled around for most of the evening. In fact, I was so tired the following morning, we decided to cancel our stop over at this site on the way back and do the 500 odd miles in one go, which turned out to be less stressful than staying at Strathclyde. I see there are other good reviews on here but I can only presume they are based on the numerous things there are to do in the area and not on the sitre itself. The aesthetics of the site are poor. Few trees, chainmail fences all round. A massive storage site is the first thing you see on the way in and possibly has more appeal than the site itself! Not impressed for what it cost to stay here.
This was our first but not the last visit to Strathclyde CC. Throughly enjoyed our stay being able to visit so many places not been to before. Recommended are the Riverside Museum, a very novel way displaying vehicles through the ages, Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh also worth a visit. If not been to Glasgow before the open top bus tour is also a good way to spend the day. As always the facilities were "top notch". The wardens, Phil and Chris were especially helpful with their time getting my iPad and laptop on line. Thank you.
