Cleghorn Farm

15 units · Glamping, Tents250 acres · Lanark, Scotland
*PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE ONLY OPEN FOR CABIN BOOKINGS UNTIL NEXT SPRING. THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR MIDWEEK AND WEEKEND BOOKINGS. WE REQUIRE AT LEAST 48 HOURS NOTICE FOR CABIN BOOKINGS* Cleghorn Farm is a mixed farm just north east of the market town of Lanark. Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde.

The Fauld Farm on the Isle of Mull

1 unit · Motorhome, Tent50 acres · Tobermory, Scotland
The Fauld is a small hill farm located close to Tobermory in the north-east of the stunning Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. In total, the land comprises around 150 acres - although most of this area tends to be grazed by our Highland ponies and Shetland/Cheviot sheep. In spring and summer, there are wild flowers and birds galore, and bracing fresh air is on tap all year round - as are the spectacular coastal views from the top of the hills. The farm lies within walking distance of the iconic and colourful fishing port of Tobermory, which offers a range of shops, cafes and pubs - as well as being home to the Tobermory Distillery at Ledaig. If you have a car, we can offer off-road parking for a couple of vehicles, and we also have parking space for two campervans (though we do not have water or electricity connections yet). PS: You are advised to come equipped for camping in wet conditions whatever the season - although we promise that the weather can be lovely too! We look forward to welcoming responsible, country-loving campers to The Fauld :-)

Campsites near Glasgow guide

Overview

While Scotland’s biggest city may not have the fairytale charm of Edinburgh, it more than makes up for it in character. Glasgow is an intriguing and earthy city filled with both stately and cutting-edge architecture, great music and arts scenes, a wild nightlife, and some of the friendliest, bighearted people in the UK. The name Glasgow means “dear green place,” and, with more than 90 public parks and gardens, there's always a green space closeby. It’s a good base for heading into nearby hills and mountains, starting the West Highland Way and exploring Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.

When to Go

Glasgow is admittedly not famous for its good weather, so be prepared for rain any time of year. Still, the summer months are the best time to visit, when days are long and Glasgow Green is prime for sunny days. Winters, while chilly, are fairly moderate, but daylight hours are short. If planning to hike the West Highland Way or explore Loch Lomond, visiting in spring or autumn can help you avoid crowds.

Know Before You Go

  • Some private campsites are seasonal—check opening dates before travelling.
  • Weather in Scotland is changeable, even in summer. Come prepared with warm, waterproof clothing.
  • Glasgow is well-connected to the rest of Scotland (and England) by rail and bus. The city itself is very walkable, although city bus lines and a limited subway system exist.
  • Don’t worry if you’ve forgotten something—you’ll find anything you need in Glasgow’s shops. Start on Buchanan and Sauchiehall streets for essentials.
  • Frequent buses connect the city centre with the airport in 15 minutes.

Where to go

Around the City

Just outside Glasgow City Centre, holiday parks combine the convenience of easy access to the city with bucolic settings. Sites include hardstanding pitches with electric hookups for caravans and motorhomes, as well as grass areas with spacious tent pitches.

West Highland Way

A 30-minute drive north of Glasgow’s city center, the West Highland Way Campsite is set directly on the 96-mile (154-kilometre) walking route. As well as grass and hardstanding pitches with electric hookups suitable for caravans, motorhomes, and tents, the site also has a shepherd's hut and furnished bell tents for hire.

The Campsies

Some 40 minutes north of the city, the Campsie Fells are a range of gently rolling hills that are a favourite outdoor escape for Glaswegians and popular with hillwalkers. In small villages with easy access to the hills, holiday and caravan parks offer grass and hardstanding serviced pitches for tents, motorhomes, and caravans, as well as glamping pods and spacious lodges with hot tubs and static caravans for hire.

Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park

A 40-minute drive northwest of Glasgow, the pretty village of Luss is one of the main gateways into Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, where you can go hiking, climbing, biking, or sailing. Outside the village, campsites can be found on the banks of Loch Lomond with a selection of grass and hardstanding pitches, many with electric hookups. During summer, some areas of the national park require permits for wild camping.
