*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.

I loved my 4 night break in the Bramble Yurt. The yurt was clean and cosy. I did have the stove burner on due to the weather being so good. The bathroom shed was clean and fresh. The fridge was a god send considering the temperature reach a high of 27 degrees. I had a relaxing time sitting in the fresh air watching the wild life and the world go by. I would highly recommend Organic Welltree. I shall definitely go back. I wish to thanks them for my time at Kirkland.

It was amazing! The view of the surrounding fells and farms was so tranquil and peaceful. Andrew was a friendly and helpful host. The property was beautiful and there was a good community of campers there that socialized over breakfast. There were also trails on the property that we didn't get to. I would definitely recommend this campsite to anyone that is going to Scotland

1 night at West Highland Way Hotel & Campsite
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.

Riverside camping near Dunoon guide
Where to go
Around Dunoon
A 10-minute drive north of Dunoon’s town center, Cot House Caravan Park offers a peaceful retreat at the head of Holy Loch, alongside the river Eachaig. The site can accommodate caravans and motorhomes with electric hookup and is well placed for those who want to sea fish on Holy Loch or go biking in the surrounding woods.
Along Loch Eck
North of Dunoon, and stretching seven miles through Argyll Forest Park, the freshwater Loch Eck has a number of sheltered beaches that are ideal for wild camping. You can access these sites by walking in from Benmore Botanic Garden (worth a visit for its avenue of Giant Sequoias) or by kayak/canoe.
Loch Lomond National Park
Wild camping is permitted in the park (per the Scottish Outdoor Access Code) but has been restricted in some areas over recent years. These areas still have at least 300 designated camping areas (some with basic facilities), where you can have an experience similar to wild camping, but from March through September a permit is required for each tent or motorhome/campervan. The park also has plenty of privately owned formal campsites.
When to go
For enjoying the great outdoors, spring, summer or early fall are best. The summer months are busy, though (especially when schools are out in July and August). You can avoid the biggest crowds by visiting in May, September or October. During the rest of the year, plan for cold and wet conditions and short days, with the sun setting before 4 p.m.
Know before you go
- Some private sites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
- If you choose to wild camp, you can find out more about your rights and responsibilities on the Scottish Outdoor Access Code website.
- Be aware that ticks (which can carry Lyme disease) are present in the National Park, especially in Spring and Summer.
- Train services provide access from Glasgow to Dunoon and the National Park.
