We arrived on 29th Dec in a temperature of -3 deg C and having been rear-ended by a lorry on the M6 2 hours into the 5.5 Hour journey.
This was our 3rd visit here, note that we first visited on the opening day and received a glass of champagne and a slice or two of cake. This visit we were welcomed by Mike & Fran who also invited all visitors on New Years Eve to reception for a glass of wine and a mince pie.
Whilst Mike & Fran are only there until March I must say they were friendly accommodating, and helpful. The site is ideal as a stop over on your way north or south, but is also good for visiting Glasgow(where I was born) and Edinburgh. We can fully recommend this site to all, and there are excellent dog walks in the country park.
Happy New Year Camping
We arrived after a 10 hour journey from Weston-super-Mare on a freezing Monday night armed with loads of old towels to lag our fresh water tank. I managed to trap my finger between the tank and the van but it wasn't until I found the nail had turned blue overnight that I realized it should have hurt but it was so cold I didn't feel a thing!
The site was just as gleamingly clean and fresh as it was last time we visited, just after it opened. The welcome was warm a friendly and the wardens even invited us to drinks on New Year's Eve. Brilliant location virtually straight onto the M74, the only drawback being the traffic noise but when you live close to a main road like we do it's not really a problem and you soon get used to it. Fantastic for families with the Strathclylde country park and a Toby Carvery right next door. Glasgow in about 15 minutes and thanks to the new M74 going straight through to the west you can get to Loch Lomond in about 50 minutes. In the other direction we reached Edinburgh in about 50 minutes too.
Thoroughly recommended!
Nice but noisy
Nice to find somewhere open all year especially over the festive season. Excellent well maintained site with very friendly wardens. Very easy access, just off the motorway. Unfortunately that's the problem. The traffic noise was incessant.
