  • Family tourer site five minutes’ drive from the M8 in Renfrewshire
  • Half an hours’ drive to central Glasgow; 25 minutes to Loch Lomond
  • Award-winning restaurant and cocktail bar; horse riding
With horse riding available and an award-winning restaurant and bar to boot, you’ll never be short of something to do at family-friendly The Paddocks Touring Park in Renfrewshire. Easily accessed from the main M8 motorway, this is a handy overnighting spot on the way to the scenic west coast of Scotland, or if you’re keen to spend a few days exploring the local area, central Glasgow is half an hour’s drive. Hardstanding pitches have stunning views over hilly countryside around Bishopton, and each comes with a 32-amp electric hook-up, a water supply and waste drainage. If you are self-catering, you’ll find most of what you need at the small supermarket in Bishopton (five minutes’ drive). Alternatively, Palomino’s bar (stay over on a Saturday night for live music) and restaurant is open from breakfast to dinner, and there’s a food and drinks delivery service available between 12pm and 8pm. Most flowers, vegetables and herbs used in the restaurant are grown on site in polytunnels, and honey is produced in the beehives – guests are welcome to purchase some to take home. The practicalities: convenient facilities include modern showers, a laundry (additional cost), washing-up sinks and electric vehicle charging points. With 24-hour security, you’ll know that all your stuff is safe and sound on site. Two dogs are welcome per pitch, but please ensure they remain on the lead at the pitches. For horse riding, book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Location, bar facilities and friendly staff.

Disliked I had a freezing cold shower (male first on right) and there was no shower gel. Our friends used other showers and they were all hot.
I tried to have a shave and there was no hot water in the basins either. Very disappointing.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Clean intimate site, large well maintained pitches. Great location to explore the area. Clean modern toilets.

Disliked Men’s toilets need more than just two cubicles.
Showers were clean and modern however they needed more room to dry and get dressed.

Local attractions

Known for its cool shopping and lively nightlife, Glasgow (half an hour’s drive) also tempts with its myriad art galleries, museums and formal gardens. The Burrell Collection (25 minutes) stands out with an impressive hoard of decorative arts and masterpiece paintings, and if you’re travelling with kids, there’s a huge display of vintage cars and interactive exhibits in the Riverside Museum (20 minutes). If cities are not your thing, turn north to Loch Lomond (25 minutes), where you can get out in the fresh air on boat cruises (20 minutes), play golf on loch-side courses or walk and cycle for miles in Queen Elizabeth Forest Park (both half an hour). If you’d care to venture a little further afield, Blair Drummond Safari and Adventure Park (55 minutes) makes a fun day out for all the family with giraffes, endangered Amur tigers and a life-size dinosaur trail. Lofty Stirling Castle (50 minutes) is open for guided tours of its historic chapel, centuries-old kitchens and regimental museum.
