Commonwealth Games & TRNSMT Festival 2026

If you will be attending the Commonwealth Games or TRNSMT Festival next year, you may already be looking for the best place to stay. With local transport links to take you right into Glasgow but without the big city prices, Red Deer Village Holiday Park may be the perfect option for you! Our range of self-catering holiday homes, chalets and static caravans to rent offer plenty of different layouts to suit your needs and come fully equipped with everything other than towels. Or, you can bring your own touring caravan, motorhome or tent to enjoy our camping area.

The Commonwealth Games 2026 will take place from 23 July – 2 August across Glasgow locations, with events including basketball, gymnastics, athletics, bowls, boxing, judo, netball, swimming, cycling and weightlifting. Red Deer Village Holiday Park are taking bookings in advance and are already full for certain dates during the Games. If you are thinking of booking, don’t delay! We have flexible payment options, allowing you to pay a 50% deposit upon booking and the remaining 50% 3 months before arrival. During the Commonwealth Games period, we are operating a slightly altered refund policy, with bookings cancelled 3 months in advance of arrival receiving a full refund and bookings cancelled 1-3 months before arrival receiving a 50% refund. You can review our updated terms and conditions for 2026 here.

TRNSMT Festival 2026 will take place early next year, 19-21 June, due to the Commonwealth Games in July. Huge names will be visiting Glasgow Green, such as Lewis Capaldi, Amy Macdonald, Kasabian, Sonny Fodera and Richard Ashcroft. Our campsite is always very busy for TRNSMT, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

Refurbishment News 2025

Our 2025 news includes installing new hand dryers in our bottom toilet block! This is in an effort to reduce our environmental impact by eliminating the use of paper towels. We take part in the David Bellamy Conservation Scheme, so our local wildlife, environment and carbon footprint is very important to us.

During our low season, we have closed our top toilet block so we can undergo some upgrades. New shower trays are to be installed in our ladies top shower block, following on from 2024’s new shower head and flooring upgrades. So for your 2026 visit, everything should be brand new, spick and span!

Don’t forget that our touring park has a range of facilities on site, including an accessible bathroom for those who need a bit more space or assistance. This is kept locked, so if you need a key, please ask at reception when you check in!

We’ve Gone Electric!

This year, we added a new electric car to our fleet. The VW ID.3 is all electric, making that one extra step towards reducing our carbon footprint. It also makes great use of the EV chargers we have on the park, which are easy to use and available to all customers.

Keeping Up With Social News 2025

Red Deer Village Residential and Holiday Park are now on TikTok! You can also find us on Youtube and Facebook. Keep up with the latest by following us on all of our social media channels.

Karen McManus, who used to clean for us at Red Deer Village Holiday Park, is running the London Marathon next year in aid of the mental health charity, Mind. We wish Karen the best of luck and have donated £50 to her cause! You can donate to Mind via Karen’s Just Giving page.

Our biggest news of 2025 was the wedding of our loyal gardener of 6 years, George, to his partner, Kim. The staff enjoyed a fabulous night out at George and Kim’s wedding in October. Congratulations to the happy couple, we wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Staff Training

This year, the Red Deer Village Holiday Park staff have undergone a lot of new training. There’s been first aid, manual handling, Kawasaki driving and live fire drills, which always keeps everyone on their toes!

Local Food Market

On the second Saturday of every month, Stepps hosts a food market for local suppliers. It’s a great few hours out to try a taste of local businesses. If you’ll be staying at Red Deer Village Holiday Park during this time, have a visit!

International Presence

Red Deer Village Holiday Park welcomes guests from all over the world. In the summer, the Famiglia on the Road team visited us from Italy and included us in their Scottish travel blog. If you speak or read Italian, check it out!

HandiCamp also joined us in the summer on a visit to Scotland from The Netherlands. This amazing team of people have a renovated truck which has been specially kitted out for people with accessibility needs. Their camper van is a design masterpiece!

Share Your Photos With Us

We love to see some of the quirky camper van and motorhome adaptations that stay with us. They show so much character and can be quite inspirational to fellow campers. We also love to see our guests enjoying their holidays in Glasgow! If you take a great pic of our campsite, your travels out and about for the day, or if you want to share your cool caravan, we’d love to see them. Please share them with us via email or social media!
