Hi all,

I'm looking for a site for me and my mum (plus a Vango Beta 350) with easy rail access to Glasgow. Had a search but to no avail...any ideas? Nothing too pricey but clean and fairly quiet!

Hope this isn't too much to ask, recommendations/sites to be wary of greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

Hi, not sure exactly where you fancy but there are a couple of sites on the banks of Loch Lomond which arent far to a small town called Balloch which has a direct train link into Glasgow.

One is the C & CC in Luss, i believe you can get a bus from round the site into Balloch. There is also one I believe called Millochry (spelling ??) which is the opposite side of bank, not sure about access from there.

Balloch is only about 8 mile from me!

Hope this helps

There is a site in Ardlui (if memory serves me right) which is not too far from the train station - some 35 miles N of Glasgow. It's over the road from the pub, can't remember it's name since it's over 10 years since we stopped there. Look for reviews on the UKCS pages.

Best of luck.

Given the choice we would rather be camping.

We've stayed at the C&CC site at Luss (which is a lovely site) and drove into Balloch to catch the train to Glasgow. If you want public transport all the way the site is a short walk into the village and i'm sure you can get a bus from the car park to Balloch station.

Hi

Why dont you have a look at Bankell farm its in the site search it is based at Milngavie and about 1 mile from station which will take about 15 mins to Glasgow.We stayed there with motorhome and found it very nice lots of campers use it when starting the west highland way.

You could also go to Lomond woods in Balloch about 5 min walk to station and about 30mins from Glasgow.
