Saint Patrick's Road, ML11 9EG, Lanark
Been here?
Well-maintained car park at Castlepark Lanark, beside a park with picnic tables, a playground, woodland, flowerbeds and walking trails. It is busy with dog walkers during the day and usually very quiet at night, but the parking is noticeably sloped. New Lanark is a 30-minute walk via Fairy Dell, and summer shuttle buses operate.

What a great place to spend the night peacefully when traveling with children. There is a playground, a beautiful park with a small forest, flower beds, picnic tables, and when we were there, about ten large dinosaurs were on display. We also cycled to Tesco in 7 minutes. Please keep this place clean and treat it respectfully.
Would be a great spot if it were a bit level, which it definitely is not.
February 2026. Yes, very quiet. Unfortunately, also sloping. I could not see or determine anything about needing permission, as another person mentioned. And yes, it is really only dogs, even from 5 a.m., running completely free. Therefore my tip: avoid the meadow and stay on the paths.
Fantastic! But it is sloped, so you have to compromise on that.
Excellent quiet place. The park is perfect for a walk, alone or with a dog off-leash. Dinosaurs and wooden carvings are spread throughout the park. However, the peace ends at 6 a.m. because of the dog walkers.
Beautiful place, unfortunately very uneven. Completely quiet at night.
Exemplary overnight stay, very peaceful and quiet, we were the only van here with two parked cars,highly recommend this spot for an overnight.5 out of 5, banging!
Beautiful park, but the park rules say that overnight stays are forbidden unless you have written permission.
Got there at 9pm, no cars or vans in there and would say space for about 20 cars. Very quiet in the night, great view of park grounds. In the morning there’s a few of people passing by with dogs, walking, running, other cars. 5 minutes away from Tescos Superatore. We left at around 10am and overall is a really great and safe place to stay, would definitely come back.
Very nice, clean, quiet parking area away from the main road. The view of the dinosaur park is lovely, and the night will undoubtedly be very quiet. No services, but there are bins.
