  • 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.

What customers say

A tidy, well-kept spot with spotless facilities, close to the train for Glasgow. Spacious pitches and a secure, quiet vibe. Some found peak times impacted facility cleanliness, with occasional noise and pitch mix-ups. Pricing and limited extras were also noted.

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.
