Mount View Caravan Park is situated on the outskirts of the village of Abington, 5 minutes' drive from the M74 and centrally located for easy access to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Carlisle, all just an hour's drive away. The site is open all year. The park is also convenient for visiting Dumfries (45 minutes' drive), the Solway Firth (about an hour's drive), Peebles, Moffat and Lanark (30 minutes' drive). Mount View is also ideally situated for cycling and walking. The surrounding countryside is unspoilt and is ideal for bird and wildlife watching as well as fishing which is available on the River Clyde and on fishing lochs nearby in Moffat and Biggar. Golf can be played at nearby Leadhills where there is also a narrow gauge railway.
At Mount View, all the touring pitches are hardstanding, level and spacious, making them suitable for motor homes and trailer tents as well as touring caravans. All the pitches have electric and aerial hook-up. The pitches are all surrounded by generous grassy areas, with trees breaking up the space, enjoying views of the Clyde Valley and surrounding hills. There are two grass sections designated for tents with the use of a picnic bench. The centrally heated toilet block is central to the park with a disabled/family room, kitchen area, laundry and chemical emptying facility. All the showers and hair dryers are free of charge.
