Place called TPS Healthcare Napier road,
yes napier rd is j6 off the m80 , go strait over the first roundabout at the second r/bout turn left, follow the rd and tps will come up on your left after ■■■■■■■■■■■ airport , its only a small airport so blink and you will miss it lol , there are lots of parking places on wardpark , in fact i think you can park on the road outside their premises , the only facilities would be a shell filling station on the right as you go through the 1st r/bout its open 24 hours .
There’s a industrial estate just up from ag Barr I always parked on , never had any issues
Being nosey here…
What’s so important that you’re prepared to camp out like a refugee?

Edit to add 
Fun fact…
The star rating system for hotels was started by the AA. Hotel’s had to have certain facilities to attain a certain number of stars. Part of the criteria for five stars is silver service in the restaurant. If you see a five star hotel in Torremolinos or Sharm El-Sheikh, they’ve just added them themselves and will quite possibly be little better than a Travel Tavern.

It seems to be the trend with many, put as much hardship into the job for the ultimate endurance test experience.
After saying that I’ve been guilty myself of parking outside somewhere for a quick Sat morning tip/load…but only for ME.especially if the Toon is playing on the same afternoon to catch my seat behind the big screen.

Yep,.got all that stuff myself mate,…but it doesn’t stop me getting away from the cab at least one night (of my now only 3 a week) , to have a meal out somewhere decent.

For info purposes a fairly decent hit which I always headed to was in Robroyston just off J2 of M80, easy reach of most of the central belt. Road is called Robroyston Way and closest postcode is G33 1JN.
It’s damead quiet down there, there’s a food pub for grub (that’s what the postcode is for!) and across the way there’s a retail park with asda, mcdonalds, Costa etc etc so good for any supplies too. There’s an office park the next road across that is swimming with 24hr security and CCTV which seems to keep anyone away.
