Arrived 27th December to a very welcoming warden who was polite, friendly and full of cheer. Choose our serviced pitch (winter treat), set up and had a little walk around the site. All pitches looked level and we'll spaced out and nicely configured, no banks of units in endless lines like dominoes but little avenues and curves so the site felt roomy and light. Will comment on the road noise which we felt wasn't intrusive, it was in the background, a pretty constant hum of motorway traffic but within our van with the radio on quietly, almost non existent. 2 little niggles for us about this site, firstly, the little pavement outside reception being taken over by planters, signage and a barrier leaving no room to create space should someone be coming out of reception. This area felt cramped and overcrowded with unessential obstructions. Across from reception there are grass / tent pitches and creating a walkway on this side would be the perfect solution without compromising on safety or taking away any pitches. 2nd niggle, the service area near the serviced pitches wasn't lit after dark during our stay. We often do our loo later in the day and dispose of our rubbish and although with a torch, this was still possible, would have been easier and safer if the lights were on. This area is also a cross path towards the sites main washroom facilities but too dark at night. We are happy not to have too many lights for environmental and aesthetic purposes but feel certain areas need essential lighting. Overall, we liked the site. Perfect for stop overs or longer stays. Great for dog walks around the nearby Strathclyde Loch. The site was clean and tidy even in winter. The planters around the site looked very tired and lacking of care but I imagine in the spring/summer months, they would be full of colour. The answer to my title question, yes! We will be back to perhaps explore the area more or to just amble around the Loch and chill out.
