Campsites with campfires near Kinross

·

Around midway between Perth and Edinburgh, the bustling town of Kinross is well worth a stop. Kinross sits at the head of Loch Leven, which is a national nature reserve noted for its abundant birdlife, and the largest loch of the Scottish Lowlands. You can explore the loch and its surroundings by foot or bike by following the 16-mile (26-kilometre) Loch Leven Heritage Trail that travels along the north and east shores of Loch Leven. Another popular activity is taking a tiny ferry to Lochleven Castle, perched on an islet on the loch. The castle is famed as the place from where Mary, Queen of Scots escaped captivity in 1567.

*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.

Campsites with campfires near Kinross guide

Where to go

Around Town

Staying within the town puts you within easy reach of Loch Leven, as well as several golf courses and facilities such as shops and restaurants. Just north of the town centre, Gallowhill Caravan and Camping Park has grassy pitches for tents and campers with views of the surrounding hills.

Falkland

If Lochleven Castle piques your interest, you can further explore the life of Mary, Queen of Scots at the 16th-century Falkland Palace, one of her favourite retreats. The town of Falkland is also a draw for walkers, who can head into the nearby Lomond Hills Regional Park. On the edge of the park, family-run Pillars of Hercules Organic Farm has basic pitches for tents and small campers.

Dunning

A 25-minute drive north of Kinross, the small village of Dunning has a long and rich history with Pictish and Jacobite connections. The village is also surrounded by hills and glens to be explored. Just south of the village, the small working Greenhill Farm is home to cows, sheep, chickens and peacocks and offers a glamping experience in shepherds’ huts.

When to go

Summer is the most popular time to visit the area, but the peak season can bring crowds and booked-up campsites. If planning to visit in the summer, try to avoid travelling during the school holidays in July and August. The best time to visit Loch Leven Nature Reserve is in the autumn when around  20,000 pink-footed geese arrive. Note that the ferry to Lochleven Castle only operates from April to September.

Know before you go

  • Wild camping is legal in Scotland as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
  • The closest train station to Kinross is in Dunfermline, 13 miles (21 kilometres) south. Local buses can get you to most nearby places of interest.
  • Kinross has several supermarkets where you can buy the essentials. For outdoor and camping gear, try the bigger shops of Dunfermline.
