*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.

Weekend Trip to Cleghorn Farm

The beautiful cabin is in a lovely quiet private space. There are nice views across to the hills particularly when sat by the firepit. Alex and Lauren made us feel very welcome.

Where to go

Balloch

Under a 10-minute drive north of Dumbarton, the pretty village of Balloch is the main gateway to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park and a base for activities such as boat trips on the loch, hiking, kayaking and mountain biking. In the village, Lomond Woods Holiday Park has pitches for tourers, as well as a few glamping pods and static caravans.

The West Highland Way

Hiking the 96-mile- (154-kilometre-) long West Highland Way is one of the greatest outdoor adventures in Scotland. A 25-minute drive east of Dumbarton, the West Highland Way Campsite is a great base for those about to begin the route. As well as grass and hardstanding pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents, the site also has a shepherd's hut and glamping-style bell tents for hire.

Drymen

The West Highland Way continues past the small village of Drymen, which is another handy gateway to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Within the park, the tranquil Drymen Camping offers tent pitches and Kocoons (wooden huts).

Luss

A 20-minute drive north of Dumbarton, the beautiful village of Luss sits on the sandy shores of Loch Lomond. Here, Luss Caravan and Campsite offer scenic views of the loch and pitches for tents and tourers.
