Good Stopover convenient for Glasgow

We used this site as a base for attending a function at Hotel within the park. It is very convenient being close to motorway. Very easy access to Park facilities. There is a theme park, lake, Two Hotels and Pizza restaurant within walking distance in park. Great path network and dog walking. Did not see any local shops or Public transport but Park and Ride was mentioned. Pitches are spacious with nice grassy areas. Two toilet blocks are both very clean but showers in smaller one were out of action, not a problem though. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Grass was being allowed to grow for wildlife which wasn't a problem as plenty of access paths. There is Road Noise but it didnt worry us. Park itself is very busy but site is well out of the way of the main road circuit. Enjoyed our visit Andy and Anne

Noisy

Excellent location and staff but the noise from the motorways was such that if we had known, we wouldn't have booked. First and last time here.

Very convenient stopover

We stayed for 1 night on our way up to the Cairngorms. Really convenient as just off the motorway. Also 2 supermarkets nearby for topping up with food and fuel. Large adjoining park with lake to stretch our legs and get some fresh air. Staff provided helpful suggestions of places to visit on our onward journey by Loch Lomond.

Great central location for storage and as a base to explore to east or west.

We store our caravan here. As golfers, we can easily access both east or west coasts within an hour. It also has excellent access to the road network, for taking the caravan in any direction.

good site in convenient location

First time of using this as a stop off site. Very convenient for motorway (there is sound from it). Also good for other facilities and filling up. Good dog walk on site and also in country park (bit littered, but good for walking). Three deer seen on site along with other wildlife!

Excellent Site

We have our caravan stored at Strathclyde Park which makes it an ideal site for getting our van ready for the new season and making sure everything still works after the winter. The site is well laid out and very flat. We have never had any issues with levelling on the pitches. There are a mixture of services and unserviced pitches and all are reasonably close to the toilet/shower blocks. The facilities are always clean and up to date. There is plenty to do in Strathclyde Park, it is excellent for walking and cycling with a loop around the loch. M&Ds Theme Park is good for the kids and there are one or two places to eat including the Toby Carvery and Alona Hotel. There are also some good restaurants in Hamilton, Bellshill and Motherwell, which are all close to the site. Strathclyde Park is very handy for getting into Glasgow, you can drive into the city centre within 20 minutes. There are also buses and trains into the town from Motherwell, Bellshill and Hamilton.

A good stop off, not great for visiting Glasgow

I came here just for one night on my way further north; perhaps one night is not enough to judge a site, but it was my second visit. As on my first visit, I was really stuck by how well kept and how pretty this site is – despite, on this occasion, the beginning of the ravages of autumn. There are a number of nice touches. The site is also very convenient as a stopping off point for those travelling to the further reaches of Scotland, being just off the A74(M). The adjacent country park is also worth a visit – something of an oasis in the suburban sprawl of outer Glasgow.

I don’t think I would recommend it as a place to stay in order to visit Glasgow for those, mostly motorhomers I suppose, who rely on public transport. Reaching a bus is somewhat convoluted albeit that they can be reached without having to negotiate busy roads, there being paths and bridgeways. The nearest railway station is a long walk and a taxi would be better. Ayr is a favourite site of mine, and it is very easy to visit Glasgow by catching the train from there; I would choose that for those wanting to visit Glasgow except it closes in winter (sadly).

The other downside, for me, of this site, is its size. It is exceptionally large. It is a very personal view, but I prefer smaller sites.

Those easily impacted by a bit of traffic noise will also probably not like it here; but this is never an issue for me.

I only met one site manager and to be blunt I found him a tad supercilious, but on that I’ll say nothing more. Mostly, wardens are so kind and helpful.

Great location, exceptional site maintenance

We stayed here one night mid August on our way north and for two nights now on our way south. The site is very conveniently located for travelling north and south being just adjacent the M74, but some road noise as a result. There is a Toby Carvery less than 10 minutes walk away, but advised to book as it is very busy, and good. The Strathclyde Country Park is literally next door with excellent opportunity to walk, 3.5 miles, or cycle around the Loch as well as other family activities available within the park. What has prompted me to write this review is the high standard that the site is maintained by all the wardens, with some nice decorative touches, but the toilet block facilities are absolutely spotless and exceptionally kept at all times. I expect very good standards from all CAMC sites but these are above and beyond. I have never seen any CAMC site kept to such high standards before, all the metal work looks polished including the aluminium shower wall fixtures. This is clearly an example of the ethos of all the wardens. Well done to all of them.

One night stopover

We stayed here on Mon 5/9/22 on our way to the Highlands. The park is lovely and the staff were very friendly. We used the smaller facility block close to our pitch which was clean, as expected. There is a good designated dog walk area . We walked down to the Loch and as far as the Roman Bath house remains. It’s a handy site for a stopover. Sadly the road noise did bother me, as my ears never shut off, we were on pitch 8 maybe if we’d chosen the other side of the site the noise might have been less.

Great City Site

This is a great site for visiting Glasgow from. We stayed two nights and were surprised at how well we slept given the proximity of the motorway. After a short while you seem to just ignore the low hum. Pitches were a great size . Toilets and showers were of the usual club high standard. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Overall a great site that I'm sure we will visit again.
