About Craigendmuir Park:
Craigendmuir Park is conveniently situated on the doorstep of Glasgow,
just off the A80, one of Scotland’s main arterial routes to the
North. The Park is also easily accessed by those without motor transport,
by rail and by bus from Glasgow.
The level and spacious site is ideal for anyone looking for the ideal base for a holiday in and around West Central Scotland, or as a stopover for a few days whilst touring.
Craigendmuir Park was established over 40 years ago by the original owners
and the touring area of the park was established in 1988. The park was
purchased from the original owners by John and Ivan Hendry in 2004 and
work
began on completely upgrading the touring area. All work carried out has
been to a very high standard and the park was rewarded by Visit Scotland
offering us a 4 star rating in 2008. However as work to the new entrance
to Red Deer Village was at an early stage we chose to remain a 3 star
rating.
The new secure entrance to the park is now almost complete and we will be happy to accept the 4 star award this year should Visit Scotland consider we have earned this rating again. Everyone involved in the park are delighted to see their hard work being rewarded and are now striving to achieve a 5 star award.
John and Ivan Hendry and their staff look forward to welcoming you personally.
