  • 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

A lovely, tidy spot with plenty of room and top-notch facilities. Staff are a real bonus – super friendly and helpful. Great views and a handy restaurant. A few minor points like shower privacy and noise, but overwhelmingly positive with most keen to come back.

Liked Brilliant site. Nicely set out and very clean park. Has a restaurant on site however we didn't visit this but heard it's nice. Has all the facilities needed, electric and water right at your pitch and drainage nearby. Each pitch has a dedicated picnic table as well which was nice. Had a kids play park with Disney songs playing which was a nice touch

Disliked Very dusty road so sometimes a bit dirty but apart from that great

Liked Large area which meant guests were spread out nicely. Picnic benches provided on each pitch which are really handy.
There is a lovely restaurant on the estate, a children’s play park and many other things that add to the experience here.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Large, well spaced out pitches. Lots of open space, grassy areas, flowers and picnic tables.
Lovely to walk around the site and see the horses.
Great enclosed dog exercise area.

Disliked Hand drier and hair drier not working in women’s toilets. Only one toilet had paper and no staff were around to report to.
Feedback box had no cards to write comments on.

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.
