  • 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.

What customers say

This is an immaculately clean and well-maintained site with excellent, modern facilities, including spacious pitches with individual picnic tables. Staff are consistently praised for being friendly and helpful. The on-site restaurant is a highlight for many. While some mention noise or minor issues with shower privacy and water pressure, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many planning return visits.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Very friendly welcome and staff always on hand to help. Clean facilities but we had an extremely hot weekend and toilet and shower blocks were quite hot and stuffy. Would not put us off booking here again. Location was great for getting the train to Glasgow and taxis easy to book. Great to be able to visit the club bar and restaurant.

Disliked As above re toilet block.. but wouldn’t put us off going again

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The site was very clean and the staff were very friendly. The second time we have been as we loved it last year when we visited. Everyone on site is so friendly and helpful. It's a lovely site to walk around and even though it's on a horse ranch there's no mess or smell and the horses are lovely to see. We are already planning on coming back next year

Disliked Nothing to dislike the site and staff are honestly so good

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Heerlijke rustige camparplaats.
Werden zeer vriendelijk ontvangen door John.
Douches en toiletruimtes zijn brandschoon.
Douche/shampoo en conditioner zijn in de cabines aanwezig.
Tevens ook toiletpapier.
Zacht muziekje in de toiletruimtes, ik hoef niet uit te leggen waarom dit prettig is😊.
Je kunt heerlijk eten in verschillende restaurants, deze zijn allen op loopafstand.
Chemisch toilet, grijs water en bijvullen van je watertank makkelijk bereikbaar.
Plaatsen voor de camper zijn zeer ruim opgezet, met naast iedere pitch een picnicbank.
Deze camperplaats is zeker een aanrader.

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.
