  • 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.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Clean site with good sized pitches and nearby fresh water. Very handy for Glasgow and only a few minutes from the motorway. Lovely level pitches on the top site. Staff cleaned up after some noisy messy tenters very promptly.

Disliked: The site is accessed through a housing estate which was a bit tight to get through with an 8 ft caravan due to cars parked on the road though this is obviously not the sites fault.

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.
