Glamping near Campbeltown

Set around a deep bay and pretty harbor, Campbeltown is a great place to visit for those exploring the scenic (and slightly off the beaten track) Kintyre peninsula, whether by car or by hiking the 100-mile (161-kilometer) Kintyre Way from Tarbert to Machrihanish. Once the whisky capital of the world, only three distilleries remain in Campbeltown but whisky heritage is still a big draw for visitors who can enjoy guided tours of all three. Other activities include walking in the surrounding hills and visiting the tidal island of Davaar, connected to the mainland by a causeway.

On the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula, next to a golf course and surrounded by beautiful scenery, with views across Machrihanish Bay to the islands of Islay and Jura, Machrihanish Holiday Park offers a selection of pitches. Guests can choose from grass electric and level grass unserviced pitches or fully serviced, hardstanding pitches. Those who prefer glamping can opt for a wigwam pod or studio pod cabin. Static caravans are also available to rent. The site is a seven-minute drive west of Campbeltown and close to Westport Beach where you can hit the waves with the local surf school.

Fifteen miles north along the Kintyre peninsula’s east coast from Campbeltown, Carradale Bay has a wide sandy beach that overlooks the Kilbrannan Sound and the west coast of the Isle of Arran. It’s an off-the-beaten path spot that’s ideal for walking, biking and kayaking. Located just behind the beach, the small family-run Carradale Bay Holiday Park offers a mix of touring pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents, as well as self catering accommodation in log cabins and static caravans.

A 25-minute drive northwest of Campbeltown, Tayinloan is home to the ferry port for the island of Gigha, which is small enough to explore on foot or by bike. Five minutes south of the village, Muasdale Holiday Park has a quiet coastal setting overlooking the islands of Islay, Gigha and Jura with grass pitches for tents and tourers. Also on the edge of the Atlantic, another five minutes south, Killegruer Caravan Site has grass and hardstanding pitches for tents, motorhomes and caravans.

*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR WEEKEND BOOKINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. CAMPING OPEN FROM 1st May to End August* 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, all a gentle walk from the sites.

Bowie Wood

Escape to the Woods Tucked away amongst the trees at Bowie Wood, our spacious 6m bell tent is a secluded woodland retreat designed for slowing down, switching off and reconnecting with nature. Set on its own raised timber platform, the tent looks out into the woodland, with a covered awning creating a sheltered spot to sit outside with your morning coffee or simply listen to the forest around you. Inside, natural coir flooring, a king-size bed and the warmth of a wood-burning stove create a cosy retreat whatever the Scottish weather decides to do. This isn't a manicured campsite. You're staying within our woodland, surrounded by mature trees, mossy ground, ferns and wildlife. Red squirrels, roe deer, woodpeckers, buzzards and bats are all visitors to Bowie Wood, and after dark the woodland becomes wonderfully peaceful. Follow the woodchip path back to your tent, light the stove, make a hot chocolate and settle in for the evening. On clear nights, step outside and look up — away from the bright lights of town, the woodland is a beautiful place for stargazing. Although it feels hidden away, Bowie Wood is close to Stirling and makes a wonderful base for exploring central Scotland, from Stirling Castle and Bannockburn to the Ochil Hills, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs. Bowie Wood is an ongoing rewilding project, where we’re working to restore and enhance the woodland while allowing nature to flourish. You may notice areas of ongoing work around the wider site as we continue to improve habitats, paths and facilities. We aim to keep any disruption to guests to a minimum. Come here for the quiet, the trees and the chance to experience something a little different. Slow down. Light the fire. Sleep amongst the trees.

Private farm glamping pod on the banks of the Urr Water, Dumfries & Galloway. One of Scotland's darkest sky locations — the Milky Way is visible from your garden. Proper bed, full kitchen, shower, fast wifi, and a fenced private garden. Farm-fresh eggs available. Village pub 3 minutes on foot. Castle Douglas 10 mins, Galloway Forest Park 20 mins. The real escape you've been putting off. A warm, well-equipped glamping pod on a working farm — not a field with a mattress. Sleeps 2. Full kitchen, shower room, private fenced garden with open paddock views, fast wifi, and TV. Free-range Orpington chickens next door and dark skies above. Quiet, completely private, and genuinely comfortable. The village pub is a 3-minute walk — but you probably won't want to leave the garden.

St. Conan's Escape was such a beautiful area to disappear into! The property manager, Hazel, did such a phenomenal job of preparing the space--it was so beautifully-decorated and clearly well-maintained that I could see this as the perfect experience for other solo travelers or couples looking for a beautiful location to sink into. I found St. Conan's Escape when looking for a place to go off-grid for a couple of days in the midst of traveling, and it had everything I needed--all of the amenities including plenty of cookware, a bathroom and extremely comfortable bed, so that I could focus on my writing projects. What a beautiful scenery it's in, too! I woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the mountains in the distance and I was so sad to leave such a majestic view. I would absolutely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a new experience!

The pods were clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Unfortunately the fly screen for our door was broken so it was a choice of being gnawed on by midges or being very hot- we chose the heat which was a bit uncomfortable but a fan had been provided which helped. The views were incredible of the loch and mountains and the walking and cycling just stunning. It's a little public with it being next to the main path but if you aren't looking for seclusion then it's fine and we found it vibrant and interesting watching the boats and people coming and going. The food in the cafe was excellent and we enjoyed the take away option, it does close fairly early so best to get there before 5:15pm. All in all it was a beautiful spot and very good accommodation and we had a brilliant time.

Runach Arainn is even more lovely in person than in the photos. Great location for a peaceful and relaxing stay on Arann. The yurts are comfortable, the kitchen/fire-pit etc are well-equipped and the orchard setting is beautiful. It's just a short walk to the beach or to the Lagg Inn for dinner. Highly recommend.

Very friendly staff. Easy to find. Great facilities. Lovely walks right at back of premises. Only downside for me was the noise off other campers. People turning up and setting stuff up after 10 pm. Also loud group of lads. But I’m use to wild camping so maybe noise would be acceptable for most.

Campbeltown camping guide

Know before you go

Some campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
If you choose to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
By car, it’s a three-hour journey from Glasgow. There’s also a bus service connecting Glasgow and Campbeltown and you can also arrive by ferry from Portavadie on Loch Fyne or (in summer) from Ardrossan on the North Ayreshire coast.
The weather is always unpredictable. Even in summer, you should bring warm, wet weather gear.
