  • Peaceful spacious site 15 minutes' drive from Glasgow city centre
  • Loch Lomond and the Trossachs within 45 minutes’ drive
  • Five minutes' walk from spotting deer at Frankfield Loch
Park up for your hols at Red Deer Village Holiday Park, a family-friendly site less than five minutes’ drive from the small Lanarkshire town of Stepps and within easy reach of Glasgow city centre. This is a top spot for a city break with the peace of a countryside retreat: those who crave urban explores will be well-served by Glasgow – a 15-minute drive or a 25-minute train ride from base – for strolls through botanic gardens, sups at distilleries, culture at museums and galleries, and splendid shopping. For those more in need of a rural getaway, there’s plenty round here to satisfy too: the Frankfield Loch wildlife sanctuary is a five-minute walk away for wanders among wild deer, and a 20-minute walk along paths from the site will bring intrepid adventurers to Cardowan Moss woodland, where there’s a network of trails to follow on foot or by bike. Don’t spend too long away from site the though – settle in for quiet evenings away from crowds and chaos with some self-catered evenings by the barbecue (buy gas on site), piling on food picked up from the well-stocked shop nearby. Otherwise, Stepps has a handy pub, café and restaurant within 15 minutes' walk of the site. Clean up after dinner by dispatching humans to the always-hot showers, and sort dishes (and stained clothes from sloppy eaters) at the dishwashing facilities and launderette.

Power optional concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Een prima camping , de camper stond vlak op het grind , aansluitend gras. sanitair was schoon en goed verzorgd. De camping leent zich bij uitstek voor een bezoek aan Glasgow. 10-15 min. Lopen naar de trein, en in 15. Min zit je in hartje Glasgow . Waar wij met de hop of bus alle bezienswaardigheden konden zien en museums bezochten.

Disliked Het was fijn geweest wanneer er ook speeltoestellen stonden voor kinderen.

Liked Beautiful clean site, well maintained. The site is in a very quiet area,showers / toilets are very clean, plenty of rubbish bins, fresh water and also electric hookups if you need ( at a extra cost), the to signal is not the best. Train station to Glasgow about a 10 minute walk

Disliked Nothing

Ian T.

Power optional concrete and grass caravan site

Liked The pitch location, reasonably close to town, nice area.

Disliked The shower operation. It is a push button affair like you usually find on handbasins, every 10 or15 seconds the water stops. You have to constantly depress the stupid thing. Ironically the handbasins had regular taps on them.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we will take onboard your suggestion and look into an alternative solution for our showers.

Worth stopping at

Local attractions

Take to the car for wanders by water at Hogganfield Park and loch, a 10-minute drive away... or drive for 45 minutes to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs to see its huge lake and lush landscape. If it’s not a holiday without a go on the green, there are four golf courses to pick from within a 10-minute drive of Red Deer. Rifling the racks more your bag? Glasgow Fort shopping centre – also reachable in 10 – stays open till late. Or, for organised antics morning, noon and evening, hone your sniping skills at Delta Force Paintball, then reel in a couple of trout at Mollinsburn fishery, both a 15-minute drive from base. Kids might be mighty keen to take on the rides at M&D’s Scotland’s Theme Park, the slides of Time Capsule Waterpark, or the circuits at ScotKart go-karting – and parents will be pleased to know they're all around a speedy 20 minutes from site. Thrillseekers, meanwhile, can be paragliding and hang gliding at Cloudbusters or snowboarding and skiing at Snow Factor, within half an hour.
