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.

Initially I wasn’t sure taking the lantern to do your (compost) toilet trip of 1.5 minutes but it worked as long as your mind doesn’t run wild in the dark when you’re on your own! But it all adds up to the whole experience of glamping without running water and electricity in the yurt. I loved the hot shower outside (I also used it to wash my hands after using the toilet), the sound of the stream, the hares who were very elusive, the log burner and the pub breakfast (included in the booking) and the pub food. I had to leave very early, it was still pitch black and I looked at the sky, it was magical with the stars and I even thought I could see 1-2 galaxies; I’m probably exaggerating but it was that clear without the light pollution. I loved the whole experience! Thank you!

A lovely place to stay for camping with the kids, even with the midges :). The toilets were immaculate and plenty of shower rooms. We had a mix up with our pitch (i thought i had booked an electric pitch but it hadn't went through on hipcamp), the owner was brilliant and very accommodating. I wouldn't hesitate to book again if we are down that way.

The site was really peaceful with amazing views of the fells and estuary. Ruth showed me around and explained the little extras like the lending library and tiny snack shop. It was so nice to get away from it all and relax in the serene surroundings. Bluebell pitch was exactly as described with some amazing trees. The wildlife (including a tawny owl, woodpecker and a frog) were an unexpected bonus.
I would definitely recommend the site to everyone. Thank you Ruth for a lovely stay.

We loved our stay on primrose pitch. Listening to Osprey, looking onto beautiful views and we were lucky to have a clear night to see the stars. Ruth was so welcoming and has created a haven to restore nature and allow space for the mini beasts as well as sheep, chickens, geese and a horse. We were lucky to stay on the summer Solstice weekend and visit the amazing stone circle close by. We will definitely be back.

If you are looking for peace and quiet, surrounded by beautiful countryside then this place is for you. Great location. Great communication - Ruth came to see us when we contactedher about the WIFI. Use of private bathroom and shower. Only thing for us is that those facilities were across a farm yard and the cabin didn't have its own supply. The bed was comfy and the cabin stayed at a good temperature (even when it was cold outside). Fire pit available. Would recommend

The best campsites near Keswick with horseback riding guide
Where to go
Keswick and Allerdale
There’s no need to travel far outside of Keswick in search of quality camping spots. Holiday parks, farm sites, and lakeside lodges can be found around Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite, providing easy access to Allerdale’s other outdoor attractions, such as the Skiddaw peak and Crummockwater. The Allerdale Ramble passes through many of these, guiding ramblers and riders from Keswick all the way to the West Cumbrian coast.
Copeland and the Eskdale Valley
Another must-see region in the Lake District, Copeland is home to England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike, which poses a fair challenge to keen hikers. The Coast to Coast Walk is another popular rambling route, connecting the Saint Bees Head Heritage Coast to Robin Hood’s Bay on England’s east coast. Campsites can be found throughout the Eskdale Valley, allowing weary travellers to soak up the sights after a hard day’s hiking.
South Lakeland and the Furness Peninsula
Home to England’s largest lake, Windermere, as well as the Morecambe Bay coast and Beatrix Potter’s former home, this region is a destination for families, with kid-friendly campsites and accessible walking routes providing plenty to keep little ones entertained. The Arnside & Silverdale AONB is another family favourite in the area, thanks to its abundant wildlife and regular events.
Eden Valley and Beyond
With the Lake District to the west, North Pennines AONB to the east, and Yorkshire Dales to the south, the Eden Valley is a convenient gateway to many of England’s protected landscapes. From discovering enormous waterfalls such as Cautley Spout and High Force to following long-distance trails deep into the heart of England, this region offers something for every Hipcamper, while caravan parks, farm sites, and glamping grounds provide plenty of overnight options.
When to go
The Lake District is among the wettest regions in England, with showers common even in summer. Crowds typically descend during the warmer months of July and August to enjoy the region’s regattas and festivals. Adventurers after a quieter time should aim for autumn or winter, keeping in mind that fell walking can have its own challenges in the colder weather.
Know before you go
- The closest train station is in Penrith, which has a direct connection to London Euston.
- Public transport is fairly reliable in the area, though it can be more convenient to have your own vehicle.
- Several local agencies offer hiking tours for visitors with mobility restrictions. Check the official Keswick website for more information.
- Not all campsites accept walk-ins, so it’s worth booking in advance.
- Keswick has several outdoor supply shops in its town centre.
- If you prefer two wheels to two feet, there are excellent purpose-built mountain biking trails at nearby Whinlatter Forest.
