Well maintained, great location for stopover.
- I stayed here only one night on my way further north and, unfortunately, a problem with my van meant I spent most of the afternoon sorting that and got little time to explore. Nonetheless, I saw enough to be able to say that this is an extremely well maintained, well-manicured site which I thought also very well designed with roads and pitches laid out mostly in curves to avoid regimentation - not that the latter especially bothers me, but it is good to see other ways of doing things.
- As a stopover the location is superb being less than half a mile from the M74.
- I had time to cycle into the country park, but near the site this is busy and commercial and not for me. There is a theme park, various dubious looking eateries, and I found rowdy young “men behaving badly”; some playing ridiculously loud music, another letting off some kind of smoke bomb! I am sure more distant parts of the park are better. For some, especially with children the theme park is a positive.
- The location of course means there’s a bit of traffic noise and there’s some slight aircraft intrusion too - from Glasgow. Personally I am unaffected by these sounds and accept it willingly in preference to highly irritating, ill-behaved dogs and noisy al-fresco diners.
- The downside for me of this place is that it is a huge site and my preference is always more towards the smaller, more intimate, places. It also has a very large camping field; I don’t think I would want to be here in the height of summer. Moreover, for a motorhomer who pitches and stays pitched, getting out and about does not look that easy.
- Great for a stopover is my conclusion, but I would not stay here for long.
