*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR MIDWEEK AND WEEKEND BOOKINGS. CAMPING WILL RETURN IN SPRING 2026.*
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.

Staying at Bruce’s house was an absolute pleasure! He was so incredibly helpful and kind and the pod is perfect. I would live there for the rest of my life if I could! The kitchen is great. The hot tub is beyond belief and so good that it’s almost intoxicating. When my boyfriend and I accidentally reset the Internet, Bruce was beyond kind and helpful. Next time I’m in this area I will for sure Be staying here again.

This Alpaca farm is an absolute must visit. Unfortunately we were only here for 1 night but what a visit! This specific pitch is the middle one 1 of 3 that are in front of the Alpaca/Sheep fields and we couldn't have asked for better neighbours.
Lynne was extremely helpful upon our arrival and offered help with anything if it was needed...which it was when I realised I had the mattress but not the stopper to keep it inflated! She came to my rescue with cushions to sleep on which was over and above as far as I'm concerned.
We were provided carrots to feed the animals that evening and my son (4yo) loved feeding Harry the goat and between him and his friends it was a game to see who could feed Houdini before Harry got in the way 🤣
This morning my son was scheduled to feed the alpacas and whilst he was initially nervous he warmed up on the walk and confidently clapped Deeno.
This site is a bit off the road but take it easy and enjoy the scenery. Beirhope Farm is in a pretty stunning part of the country and I would 100% recommend a visit to anyone looking for everything you need on a camping trip.
If you forget anything she has everything covered, including an honesty 'larder' for the snacks or bits and pieces that you've forgotten.
Stunning! We will be back.

The surroundings are truly beautiful, scenic, calm and peaceful. Lynne has ensured that everything a camper needs is close at hand. The pitches are well spaced out and on good solid terrain. Clean, accessible facilities, well maintained. Adorable alpaca herds literally over the fence. A wonderful retreat, we will definitely return.

Cairngorm Glamping 🩷. This is a beautiful place to stay, with friendly, chilled hosts. Tucked in among the hills of Upper Donside, the view towards the Lecht is lovely … morning or evening. The surrounding countryside is magical. The site has several fields set up for tents / vans / Motorhomes, with or without services.
The animal park is very sweet, with goats who seem to spend all day teasing each other and an adorable donkey who wants to talk to everyone 🥰 … the zip-line park was popular with kids of all ages and there’s a food bothy if you don’t feel like cooking.
Shower and toilet facilities are clean and well located. They never seemed to be “busy” even though we were there before and during Lonach Gathering weekend.
Grey and waste water services are well placed for Motorhome access.
As a Scot who lives overseas, I love that places like Cairngorm Glamping exist. They showcase the scenery and provide camping access to areas of countryside that might otherwise be missed by visitors.
Just wish we’d had time to stay longer … but will return! 🥰🩷🙏

Campsites near Forfar guide
Where to go
Forfar Loch
Forfar’s tranquil loch is the ideal setting for a relaxing walk and within easy walking distance of the town centre. On the edge of the loch, Forfar Lochside Club Site has grass and hardstanding pitches for tourers as well as grass tent pitches. A few minutes east of town, Foresterseat Caravan Park has plenty of pitches as well as a glamping hut.
Glamis
Just a 10-minute drive west of Forfar, the small village of Glamis is famed for its Glamis Castle, setting for Macbeth. The village itself is home to a collection of quaint cottages and a few unique businesses. A five-minute drive north of Glamis, Drumshademuir Caravan and Camping Park offers a selection of well-appointed glamping pods.
Brechin
Twenty minutes northeast of Glamis, Brechin draws history lovers with its medieval cathedral, which has a rare surviving 11th-century round tower, and Brechin Townhouse Museum. Visitors can get outside at Brechin Castle Centre, which has sprawling parkland to explore. Nearby, Gardener’s Cottage Campsite has spacious pitches in a secluded location at the foot of the Angus Glens.
When to go
Spring and summer are the best seasons for Forfar and the surrounding Angus region. Daylight hours are long from May through August and you’ll typically enjoy mild to warm temperatures. Summer can, however, bring crowds and booked-up campsites—try to avoid weekends and the school summer holidays in July and early August. Although autumns can be wet and chilly, the season does let you avoid crowds and enjoy the sight of the countryside ablaze in rich colours.
Know before you go
- Wild camping is legal throughout Scotland as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
- Most organised campsites in the area are open only seasonally: Check dates if planning to travel outside of peak season.
- You can reach Forfar by bus from Dundee, which is connected to Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond by both bus and train.
- There are a few small supermarkets in Forfar but for larger purchases and camping gear, visit the bustling High Street of Dundee.
