It is what it is. An urban site ideal for a city break or an over-night stop. In our case it was to see AC/DC at Hampden Park! You don't hear the road noise after a while, and it certainly didn't wake me up in the morning. On that level, can't fault it. Facilities first class, and wardens do a good job of cleaning them, but a pity a minority of members have little respect for maintaining the standards...
Great stop over
We booked this site as a stop over travelling from Cornwall to Oban. We had a lovely friendly welcome.
The staff are lovely and the site to the normal Caravan Club tidiness and cleanliness. We were expecting some noise but to be honest it wasn't that bad. We slept fine and headed off as planned in the morning.
You can't have everything
First visit to a CC site, and this is an absolute gem, apart from as everyone else has told you, the M74. It looks to be recently refurbished, very well laid out with easy access and fantastic facilities. Very child friendly and within walking distance if you want it of a small theme park. Great bike ride or run around the loch and of course fantastic location for either a stop off or visiting Glasgow. At £15 per night for me and my son I couldn't go wrong, if only it was a mile or two away from the motorway.
Very friendly staff and a great first time experience but would only stay there again for convenience.
Note: there is a daily bus service into Glasgow organised by the site. Additionally they organised a minibus for the concert we went to see.

good site but noisy
Visited site on 8 June, great pitches, great facilities,
easy to find. But constant noise from m74 and roadworks just outside site. Visited Falkirk wheel, very interesting and great boat trip. Motherwell just 10 minutes away for shopping and something to eat, not far from Loch Lomond, well worth visit. Also several walks from site, around Loch and woods nearby but noise from m74 can still be heard.

Great facilities.
Great facilities, pity about the motorway noise. Spent one night here on way down south from 2 week holiday in the Highlands. Site is perfect for access to motorway but this of course has it's problems with traffic noise. However the welcome was good and toilet block/showers were some of the best found on any site. Good layout, ideal motorhome service point and big pitches.

Great site
We have just had a 5 night stay here in 2 caravans, 4 adults and 2 children. On arrival you are greeted by very helpful, nice staff who explain the site. Once through the barrier you are free to pick your spot. It is worth mentioning the road is very close and does give off noise 24hrs a day but we went near the playground which is near the road and it didn't put us off. The playground is excellent and also plenty of green areas for children to play. Facilities are top notch, clean, warm and we never waited for a shower or a toilet despite the site being over half full and the tent toilet blocked being closed.
An excellent place for local area, we visited the Falkirk wheel and Kelpies and also took the minibus which runs from the site into Glasgow.
Would return again if in the area.
Brilliant wardens.
Had mishap whilst away from the site. We returned to find our awning deposited on the roof of our caravan with the warden and several club members trying to alleviate more damage taking place. Help and assistance from the wardens surpassed what we would have expected. Even though they are always good, they were exceptional and very supportive. If you can award more than 10/10 we would have done. Thank you once again.
Dave and Barbara.

Nice but noisy
Stayed for a couple of nights en route. Lovely new site, helpful friendly wardens, adjacent to large country park with 4 mile walk around lake. However the whole place is invaded by noise from the Motorways and Main road that pass very close to the site. Doors and windows need to be closed to shut out most of the noise and vibration.
Great Site, wrong Location
This is one of the Club's newest sites and it shows in the facilities. They are excellent. Toilets spotlessly clean and spacious. Lots of space around the site and the pitches are a terrific size. However, the constant noise from the M74 on one side and the A725 on the other, along with the roadworks just outside the site, made this a very uncomfortable place to be. Once inside the van, the noise was well muted but outside was not nice. The Country Park was an ideal place to go for a walk, especially if you have a dog, but even here, the traffic noise was intrusive. Great site for kids with a good play area and with an amusement park right on the doorstep, plenty to keep them occupied. However, probably a site best suited to those travelling on and just needing to stop over for a night, but not, I feel, a place to spend lots of time.
Immaculate and clean site
Some noise from the nearby motorway but I was able to sit in my deckchair and speak to my family without having to raise my voice at all, not an issue really!! the site/facilities were spotless and the staff were friendly and helpful, will definitely be returning, the nearby M&D's being the magnet as my 2 are 7 & 5 yrs old and they loved it.
