We initially only stayed 1 night on our way up to Scottish Highlands, but ended up spending another 2 nights on the way down as we loved this site so much.
The site seemed to be great sun trap and we enjoyed that we could see our children scooting around making friends for almost the whole site.
Staff where friendly and everywhere was clean as we now expect from all Caravan Club sites. Some beautiful flowers at the front was lovely to see.
Nice cycle around the Strathclyde Loch and 2 nice parks for the kids. We also popped into the arcades.
Yes it can be a little noisy in the nights as quite close to main road, but this never bothered us.
The site is very well kept, facilities are spotless. There is constant background noise from the motorway and in the evening there is extra noise from cars which seem to be being raced along the road though the country park which adjoins the site.The only place you can walk to easily to from the site is to Strathclyde Country Park. The park was horrible - full of litter, not just recently dropped but long standing bottles, cans etc, in all the shrubbery and woods. The park is bordered by the motorway and is noisy. To get anywhere on foot beyond the Country Park entails a 30 minute walk across the motorways via the footbridges. It is a bit like being parked up in a clean motorway services area. We would not return.
Used this site as a stopover on way south and must say was more than impressed with facilities. An absolute cracking site. I had a full serviced pitch with water, grey waste disposal and tv point though I didn't use the tv point. There was a chemical waste point close by but no too close and a recycling point there as well all with about 10 metres from pitch. Very comfortable, only wish I could have stayed longer. Whilst I didn't venture far I know the area a bit and there is quite a lot to do roundabout either using your own vehicle, public transport or there are lots of cycling opportunities as well. There is a constant noise from motorway but you do get used to it and would like to come back sometime and spend a bit more time there. Not often you get a site that ticks all the boxes.
Well equipped and maintained site. Helpful staff. Lot of traffic noise. Nice walking in the country park. Excellent stopover going north or south to/from Scotland, and easily accessible from the motorway network.
Stayed here 14 nights and then 4 nights and managed to get constant sunshine.
Staff were friendly as were all fellow motorhomers and caravanners. Also showed us flexibility on both dates to extend stay.
Only downside was small - wee playpark closed but was for essential maintenance. Covid restrictions were necessary but great with visiting now for grandkids and family.
Cleaning times in facilities clearly visible and always somewhere open.
Quiet and serene while we were there. Great for dog lovers and plenty useful information.
We chose this site to get to know our motorhome and it's a great base for exploration. Sadly the park is only accessible from the busy roundabout because the Motherwell entrance is blocked off. That also means you might need to take your motorhome with you because public transport is non-existent for miles. This is however a Strathclyde Park issue and not the Campsite itself.
Disappointed with our visit. differences in the support/flexibility of wardens. It would appear that 2 are longer on this site than the others and friendlier with regular customers. Lots of time spent cutting grass than on customer service. Other newer wardens were helpful and chatted while doing their tasks. Toilet block was clean and bin areas attended to on a daily basis. Site is well located from the motorway and easily assessible. Noise from motorway didn't bother us. Lots of walking areas for those who wish to take their dogs away from the site.
We stayed for two nights to break the journey north and to have family visit us on the site, then again for one night to break the journey south. We were pleasantly surprised how immaculately well kept the site was. On the club sites we've visited in the last 3 years we've often seen the staff mowing the grass but have never until now seen them on all fours picking weed out of the hard standing. From the point you enter the site it is obvious that the staff take great pride in their work, a credit to the club. I'd go as far as to say it's probably the nicest club site we've been on.
It more than makes up for the traffic noise from the near-by motorway which can be annoying at times.
The site is a very handy base to visit almost anywhere in Central Scotland thanks to the brilliant road network.
We had five nights there with friends as a base to go sight seeing, the site is immaculate and the gardens are fantastic. There is some motorway noise but sort of disappears into the background and you forget about it. It’s not a holiday destination but a great base for sightseeing. It doesn’t feel cramped like a previous review and we didn’t see any travelers. However the state some people leave the toilets in was appalling, these individuals should be ashamed of themselves. I feel sorry for the wardens who have to clean up after these individuals, they are doing a fantastic job on this site.
We use this site as a stopover on way south to England . Always very clean . Depending on where pitched you can experience traffic noise from the motorway.
Lots of walks nearby and restaurant within walking distance for breakfast or dinner.
Clean, modern, 9m square level hardstandings, friendly welcome.
It's a good location for me personal visiting family and having the park nearby is also handy for the dog walks and grandchildren to visit (outside of Covid restrictions).
In just wasn't a comfortable site for me. Many of the people staying there are either single nighters moving on to the highlands or heading south back home or families there for the park facilities, and bring a different approach to the sites use compared to more normal site experiences in my opinion i.e. spreading themselves out with bikes, canoes, hammocks, large screen TV's playing in the awning and various ball games.
