Reviews of Campsie Glen Waterfall Car Park

F. A.

Lovely waterfall. Good parking facility nearby but limited spaces. The climb down is not far but can be tricky in wet conditions. Wear stout boots and take walking sticks with you to help you balance.

Iv only just discovered this place, after a friend told me to take the road to Lennoxtown Stirling Castle and stop here for the sunset. I am do glad I listened. LOVE finding new nature places and nearby. It was a blue sky day and I sat for over an hour taking in the views and sun. You can see views of Glasgow. Definitely need to go back and do more walking and and see the waterfall which is suppose to be down the way from the carpark. I was heading down the way but didn't want to miss the sunset 🌅. Being a nice day it was busy but there is loads of parking.

Went up looking for highland cows, so this review is actually for a little further into the hills past the two houses. The big guy was scratching himself and being all happy

L. G.

Lovely spot but sadly lots of litter down the glen and around the waterfall. If you're going it's worth taking a plastic bag and doing a bit of a litter pick while you're there.

R. T.

Perfectly sited car park with amazing views to Glasgow and surrounding villages. Even more spectacular if you climb the hill over the road from the car park. It's a decent drag and unless very dry, decent walking shoes or boots are advisable. The climb is steep and a bit of scramble in places so will not suit anyone with mobility or serious medical conditions but well worth the effort! The waterfalls are a short walk down from the car park and pretty straightforward if reasonably mobile. If you want a photo the falls are pretty easily accessible and they are photogenic but be aware they are also very popular and often used for swimming and paddling so better visited at quieter times if you want a clear shot! Be very careful here, especially with youngsters as there are narrow and slippery sections in parts and accidents (and fatalities) are not uncommon here. Safety first!!

B. O.

Great place to visit. The views are outstanding. The stairs down to the waterfall are very big and can be dangerous especially on wet day. But is worth the walk it's awesome when you get down. Be careful guys

M. L.

Good sized car park, with amazing views and walks.

F. “. M.

Nice views (definitely lovely view of the city at night) and fresh air, not far away from Glasgow.

D. C.

Good place to park ready for the climb to the summit.

J. M.

Quite small and bust carpark. The access to the waterfalls is also quite far and you have to walk on the street to reach the actual falls. The view from the valley is nice. On a clear day the view from the hill top over Glasgow is phenomenal.

J.

Amazing views great for you if you want to get fit or need fresh air

G. O.

The views from this place are amazing! Always stop for a a bite to eat and a rest before heading home again. Would recommend starting walking the whole path for some hidden spots.

J. C.

Good view point and nice rest place if cycling through the campsie's.

D. L.

Popular spot for cyclists and cold water enthusiasts. Great hillclimb to attack on bike and multiple waterfalls and pools for dipping. Paths can become slippery with rain with rope access to waterfalls.

D. J.

Lovely to look over at night also good for taking the dogs a walk plenty open ground for them to run.

D. C. W.

Great walk, quite steep in places and deceptive distance to the top but worth it when you get there!

S. M.

Nice place to stop and take in the views with some lunch. Path to a big waterfall nearby as well as a climb up a hill for even greater views.

S. M.

Quite busy on the Sunday morning we went up, but still plenty of parking available. It's a good place to park if you want to venture further up on foot. The roads on the way are narrow and windy but worth the motion nausea for the views! nice wee spot to appreciate what our lovely countryside has to offer. There is the waterfall down by the side too if the ground is dry it's worth a walk down to have a look.

L. D.

Lovely place for walking and fantastic view from top

J. V. -. A.

The clouds meet the trees in this carpark in the sky. Views are stunning - but bring your own snacks - it's just a carpark

c. s.

Beautiful scenery here, with a lovely waterfall just below the carpark

p.

What a great little find, whilst on a random road-trip. It is very scenic, and well worth a stop.

K. W.

Nice place to walk and enjoy beautiful views. Falls looks amazing!

C. I. P.

Beautiful place to walking around with families. Try to touch the sky over there.

M.

Beautifully scenery

R. T.

Lovely place to bring families and enjoy the water down the hill from the car park.

J. m.

Great viewing spot though be careful as sheep wander on the road

C. R.

Great location for a number of walks and sights to see in the nearby area. Fantastic views.

H. M.

Take my 92 yo FIL there for a "run" in the car. This blue Scooby appeared today, looks smart with those wheels. The sunshine made it all the more photogenic.

M. J.

nice waterfalls, good gor cold dips, also hill walk

F. R. /.

Great car park leads to the path that takes you into the Campsie Glen

S.

Decent sized car park on the hill with a steep trail with some steps down to the waterfall. Entrance us a bit sharp and the exit is even harder as it comes out into two blind corners and i seen quite a few people taking this far too fast. Be careful when coming and going from this place due to this reason.

D. R.

Great views and so peaceful

D. h. K.

The scenery you see for miles. The waterfall is nice and cooling but watch the rocks are very sharp . Lovely to have picnics .plus scenery is lovely at night .ps watch for the bad bends going up the road and the sheep

S. V.

What a hidden gem!! . You can spend a whole day with family here. You have splendid woodland to walk or peaceful, relaxing stream to have BBQ. You can jump and swim in the waterfalls. Highly recommended.

C. T. (.

Cracking views over Campsie Glen from here and is a good starting point to climb the Campsies. Worth while stopping if you are passing to appreciate the view!

P. D.

Loved every minute of this beautiful place highly recommend

l. i. t. w.

It's changed since the 80s car parks bigger and more organised. But still the same gorgeous views I'd camp up there many weekends. Not so many sheep and a lot more greener

I. F.

Visited this site on Sunday 17 June 2018. On the way through Lennoxtown the road to the car park had this group of signs suggesting that the road was closed. Thankfully we ignored the sign as the road was presumably closed somewhere beyond the car park at Campsie Glen and there was no problem accessing the car park. The car park is convenient for hill walkers and those who may wish to photograph the views across the valley, etc. or anyone interested in plane spotting as depending on wind direction it is on the flight path into Glasgow Airport. Other than a waste bin there are no facilities at the car park.

P. C.

Love coming here for a short hill climb with incredible views over the Clyde valley. Wee tip: If you follow the river up which is running parallel with the road you can find some nice private plunge pools for a nice waterfall wash.

K. R.

Amazing views across central Scotland

I. D.

Well, just a car park to be honest but the views are great, and a good place to start a day's hillwalking!

G. D.

Is was lovely, we dispersed my mother-in-laws cremated remains as per her request. She always wanted to go to the campsies at the end of her life.

J. S.

A nice walk as long as it's dry, you can either go up the hill for sightseeing or down the hill to see the waterfalls, definitely a one for dry day tho

N. N.

A hilly point near to lennoxtown post office. Wonderful drive way leading to waterfall area. Good entertainment during dry n sunny weather. Dangerous n slippery to go in case wet weather. Be aware of no public toilet or food availability other once you reach at the top. So, make necessary arrangment if wanna spent long hours. Thanks

A. S.

Great place 👌 for visit. …

J. J.

Great view, lots of car spaces.

D. B.

Definitely a walk worth doing in the snow!

T. F.

Amazing views and nice little walk down to the waterfall well worth a visit

A. H.

This is an easy to reach view point. Even from the car park the views are good west down campsie glen and east towards Kilsyth. Crossing the road to the west of the car park an easy to follow path leads up into the campsie hills. The initial steepness flattens out to an undulating trail along the edge of the campsie hills. On a clear day Ailsa Craig and Arran are clearly visible. Take binoculars and the Glasgow science centre, Ibrox, cruise ships next to Braehead and other well known land masks are easily seen. Depending on the weather planes flying into Glasgow airport use the hills as a way point before lining up on Glasgow airport. The closeness of the planes make seeing the airline insignia very easy and you can visually follow the planes all the way to Glasgow airport even though it is many miles distant.

This is one of the most Scenic waterfall hikes that you can discover in the Campsies (north of Glasgow). If you would like to check out the full video, you can find it on my YouTube channel The Wandering Scotsman.

D. C.

Better known as The Carpark in the Sky. A popular viewpoint and starting point for many walks in the Campsies. Known throughout the west of Scotland for its views over the midland valley. Use it as a starting point for climbing to the cairns or going down into Campsie Glen.

S. O.

Beautiful Scenery, mountain climbers and hikers will love this place. About 30 Mins from Glasgow city centre.

W. W.

So this place is just a big car park that has pathway walks and is actually a beautiful place to visit. Walk up the hills to one of the best view points.

C. M. C.

Great walks in summer and winter

F. R. (.

A wee gem I discovered looking for local places to visit. Can't believe I have not visited before. Good walks and would be nice for picnics.

S. P.

Clearly place for stay with car and spending more time with binoculars watching hill's and landscapes.

D. K.

I will definitely back there for sure.

S. N.

A place to park your car, certainly. Fantastic views towards Glasgow and beyond. Popular as a base for a short but rewarding hill walk

A. C.

Great view from car park and from the campsies.

T. S.

Easy to park in the car park but the weather was very bad and we couldn't climb on the hill.

C. H.

A great trip. Love going here, easy to drive to from glasgow. Had great fun with the dog my gran and friends up here. Very nice views amd nice drive

g. m.

This is a small car park strangely located at the foot or a would class it half way up the campsies on crow Road from here you have the choice of walking higher to the peak of court ma law or visiting the below village of clachan the paths are step tho and hidden to the back is a little path that will take you down to the waterfalls lovely little place

M. M.

Nice place to park up and walk the campsie hills, great views on a clear day, you can also see one of Glasgows top Soccer teams training ground from there also. If that's your thing.

J. P.

Fantastic scenery but I suggest that you visit not it the snow unless you're in a 4 x 4 . If that's the case you're in for a treat .

J. C.

Cupla dodgy wee areas at the waterfalls be careful

P. R.

Close parking, easy access to the waterfalls and beautiful falls. 🌊 …

A. F.

You get great views over the valley below here, and can see for miles. You'll need to drive up here, or cycle if your brave. There's usually an ice cream van here in summer, and it's full of tourists.

L. l.

This is a beautiful waterfall.It is a step and muddy climb down but worth it.Really upset to see the amount of rubbish thrown down the embankment.

M. C.

Beautiful area and nice drive for us coming from north Lanarkshire. Worth a visit even if just for a little drive or you fancy a nice spot to go for a walk or hill climb.

A. A.

Love the waterfalls and the short walks you can go on

E. C.

A great walk, with car parking available (not the biggest car park so get there early on busy days)

I. F.

Peaceful and great for a walk and remembering

P. K.

Great wee walk for the family or with just friends. Beautiful views of Glasgow in the distance. Unfortunately peasants leaving rubbish about is the only negative.

Great views and better views if you go for a walk to the top. It's a about a 2 hour walk from here. Worth it!

S. F.

Super views, and very tranquil

J. H.

A short walk down to the waterfall, can be a bit muddy and slippery, not difficult but a bit of care needed if not fully mobile.

J. J.

Great forest trails, very scenic waterfalls. Large parking area which is also free

C. M.

Offers a good view of the city of glasgow and the surrounding towns.

D. H.

Great place to park and take a little walk either up the hill or down into the glen.

N. G.

A great walk for the family up the hill. Only pity is the wee hidden 'cave' is full of garbage which spoils the beauty

R. C. (.

My girlfriend first time up the Campie Glen, and beyond the hills. She had a fantastic day out with me.

D. C.

Ideal for amateur radio hobbyists great night and get plenty of contacts around Scotland and Ireland

(Translated) Very nice site with a short walk. Against it I must say that young people from the surrounding area often go to barbecues in good weather and the only time I was there was quite a lot of rubbish for Scotland... I was quite shocked to find some underpants on a tree hanging in plain sight of all and leftover garbage. (Original) Muy bonito sitio con un paseo corto. En su contra debo decir que la gente joven de los alrededores va a menudo con el buen tiempo ha realizar barbacoas y la única vez que estuve había bastante basura para ser Escocia... me chocó bastante encontrar unos calzoncillos en un arbol colgados a la vista de todos y restos de basura.
