Glad I picked this campsite for my mid-week escape as, upon arrival, it gives a feeling of being in a woodland retreat with magnificent views across the countryside. With no heavy traffic passing the campsite; it helps to keep the tranquillity of the site where you can enjoy the countryside at its best and helps promote a safe environment. The Club House is steeped in history but offers all the modern facilities you would ever need from a campsite. I was really impressed at the food from the kitchen. I had the burger and chips and it didn't look like something you would get from any other fast food outlet. The burger was a 'proper' burger and stood tall and not dried out in the bun, with the freshly cooked chips and side salad. Plenty of tea and coffee is available (I think free of charge!) There's plenty of space around the campsite and from what I saw, they offer numerous bell tents to rent, although with additional space for those with their own tents. I like the idea of having caravan/motorhome/campervan pitches that are slotted between the trees and having hard ground to stand on. There were additional pitches past the Club House which could take tents/caravans/motorhomes/campers. I had filled up before arriving with fresh water in my underslung tanks, so didn't use their facilities, nor did I have waste water, but one would presume they're adequate to meet the needs of campers. Staff were friendly, happy and assisted where ever they could. The campsite location provides an excellent place to stay, whether you've set yourself a challenge to complete the West Highland Way and you're transmitting through or like me, a day walker seeking a good walk-out returning for food and rest.
Very laidback and peaceful

Amazing location. Using the All Trails app, we found a walk 2 minutes on foot from the campsite. The staff were so lovely and accommodating. The site was very relaxed with dogs which is good because we have three. Free tea and coffee and breakfast in the morning was a nice touch. The staff were very helpful, along with the vanlifers, but they also left you to it.
Friendly retreat

The host, Andrew, was very helpful, friendly and easy going. It is a lovely setting and I enjoyed a lovely meal before setting out on my trip the next day.

Things to do on site and in the Glasgow area
Guests are welcome to sit and enjoy a picnic in the garden and can play croquet on the lawn. Other activities on offer also include walking the famous West Highland Way and John Muir Way routes. The area is also popular for horse riding and fishing. Why not have a game on the golf course too?
From site many activities can be booked including 4x4 Highland tours for those who want to see the countryside in style, relaxing yoga and even falconry. A classic whisky tour of Glengoyne Distillery can also be arranged and a wander around Duntreath Castle.
You're close to the many shops on offer in Glasgow's city centre as well as its pretty botanic gardens. For a culture fix, take a drive to Edinburgh and stroll along the castle or, for a shorter drive, head to Stirling and soak up the history at its titular castle.
Other great things to see and do in the vicinity include:
- Glengoyne Distillery
- Mugdock Country Park
- The Campsie Fells
- Mugdock Castle
- Loch Lomond
