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.

Built in 1733, King Garth is also known as The Old Customs House, reflecting its role in these fraught times of smuggling. Its strategic position on the banks of The Eden served as the perfect lookout for a bailiff employed by Carlisle Corporation to protect the very important salmon fishery. The plaques on the building which commemorate the visits by Mayors date back to the 1700s. These visits no doubt involved indulgent banquets centring around freshly caught salmon
I grew up on the opposite side of the river. On family walks along the Eden I was always fascinated by the house on the other side sited in such an amazing position.
In 2010, when I returned to Cumbria I was amazed to hear that this house was for sale. It was a ruin and everyone told me I was mad..... I probably was a little! But I soon realised that I wasn’t alone in my love of this house, everyone I met from the surrounding villages had a tale to tell about this iconic place. King Garth is for sharing - with locals, (we have an annual barbecue), with wildlife and with people like you.
The aim when renovating King Garth was to celebrate and embrace its history. King Garth is off grid and has no running water. It is furnished in a style to reflect its history. It isn’t everyone’s ‘cup of tea’: you have to drive a mile down a muddy lane, there is no hot shower, no electric lighting, and a compost toilet. BUT we offer beautiful evenings of candle light, log burner, hot tub under the stars and bathing in the river.
My priority with King Garth and the land attached was to manage in a way to protect the abundant wildlife. There are also alpacas who you can look after during your stay.
You will be astounded by the din the birds make at dawn and dusk!
Inside the house there is an owl box where one summer a pair of barn owls successfully raised chicks. Since then a kestrel frequents the box and has twice laid there.
This part of the Eden is tidal so both estuarine and river species co exist. Kingfishers and otters are often spotted And even the occasional seal! Kinggarth comes with fishing rights and if you want to fish this can be arranged with the host.
The bird feeders are frequented by tree sparrows, yellow hammers, wood peckers, nut hatches and in winter red poll.

What an amazing campsite with a great host Lynne! We had a brilliant couple of nights camping at Beirhope. The kids had the best time exploring and Lynne let them come and feed the alpacas and goats some carrots which they loved! Woodland wonder was a great space for us to pitch our tent and still have lots of room to run around. We only wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely be back. The kids are already asking when we can go and if we can get a pet alpaca!

My most favoured campsite to date. Trip with my 8year old camping buddy grandson. Peaceful, well thought out site. Pitches in different lovely spots. Indoor seating area, picnic tables. A lovely hide to sit in to watch the birds, relaxing. Sheep, goats, alpacas and a horse. Walking routes. Lots of birds. Spotted, chaffinches, siskins, white throats, house martins, wagtails. A robin on a fence watching us. On the drive out a buzzard sitting on a post. Lynne a warm and friendly host. Nothing is too much. Will most definitely return. Already recommended to my camping friends

What a beautiful spot for some camping. It is a short walk up to the campsite itself but the hosts provide wheelbarrows to help move things back and forth.
The campsite itself is lovely, enough space to keep to yourself, or plenty of room around the firepit for everyone.
Stunning views of the countryside, with only the odd train passing nearby. The occasional sounds of the deer and cows, alongside the bird calls helped settle me into the nature nearby.
Hosts clearly care very much about the campsite, accessiblity to the outdoors, and giving back to the land.
Would absolutely recommend, and will book again.

Lovely stay in a lovely location! Would highly recommend for a few days of switching off. A car is necessary and I’d recommend bringing your own food to cook! A cool box would also be useful if it’s warm as there isn’t anywhere to store food.

We had the BEST 2 nights here, it’s like paradise, the lake and grounds are so stunning and peaceful. On our first night we spotted a big tawny owl watching us from a tree, just beautiful. Literally everything you could need is here and we loved being all cosy in the hut together whilst it was raining. We just had so much fun and quality time together enjoying the simple life and cannot wait to come again thank you so much xxx

2 nights at Otter Moss Accommodation
We had such a lovely time staying in the cabin at Otter Moss for my boyfriend’s birthday weekend. It was the perfect getaway. It’s a really rustic and cozy spot, and the countryside around it is just beautiful. We had so much fun taking the rowboat out on the pond, and we even got to meet the two wild red deer that live on the land. They’re a mother and daughter, and they were so curious and friendly, which made the stay even more special. The hosts were also amazing. We were having a nightmare with transport, but they went out of their way to pick us up and drop us off, which helped us out so much. We’re so grateful for their hospitality and for helping us have such a great birthday weekend. Definitely recommend staying here if you want a nice, quiet break.

4 m rooftop tent
My wife and I spent 5 nights here in our roof top tent with a second tent to sit and cook in. We are totally self sufficient carrying all our own food, water and toilet facilities. We were the only ones camping there, and it was so peaceful and quiet, with just the sound of birds singing and owls twittering. Malcolm was incredibly friendly and checked to see we were ok and made sure we had plenty of wood for huge camp fires. We were completely surrounded by trees and even though the main road was not far away we could not hear any traffic noise. It was the rise of the midge season and local pharmacies sold sprays and lotions that contain 50% diet which came in handy. If you want safe wild camping then this is the place to stay. Will go back.

Where to go
Stirlingshire
You can find adventure and Scottish history without even leaving the county. Perched on a hilltop outside Stirling, to the north of Falkirk, is the Wallace Monument, dedicated to the 12th-century figurehead of Scottish freedom, William Wallace. Stirling Castle—one of the most prominent fortifications in the country’s history—is perched atop a rocky outcropping in the city centre. Nearby, tour the battleground of Bannockburn, where Robert the Bruce defeated the English army. Explore these attractions easily in a day, then take your campervan or tent and head toward the Trossachs or north toward Perthshire.
Fife
A quick drive over either the Kincardine or Forth Bridges from Falkirk is the Kingdom of Fife, offering campers an escape to rolling fields and farmland and a windswept North Sea coast. The popular Fife Coastal Path runs 188 kilometres around Fife through the villages of the East Neuk and the renowned university and golf town, St Andrews. In summer, catch the ferry in Anstruther to the Isle of May, a small nature reserve that guards the entrance to the Firth of Forth and history dating to 2000 BC.
Loch Lomond and the Trossachs
One of only two national parks in Scotland offers endless adventure and a taste of the wilds of more northerly Scotland. Beautiful stretches of woodland and the southern portion of Scotland’s most famous walking route, the West Highland Way, can be found here. Loch Lomond is Scotland’s largest body of fresh water. For the best views over the park, hike the accessible Munro of Ben Lomond. A shorter climb up Conic HIll just outside of the lochside village of Balmaha gives you an excellent perspective of the boundary fault separating the Highlands and the Lowlands. Campsite and wild camping permit areas are scattered throughout the park.
When to go
The traditional tourist season for most of Scotland is May through October. During these peak months you’ll enjoy the benefit of extra daylight hours and warmer weather, but book campgrounds well in advance and be prepared to deal with crowds--especially if you’re planning to camp along one of Scotland’s many A-list long-distance trails. In the Central Belt, where you’re never far from a large town, it’s easier to extend your camping adventure later into the shoulder seasons, as long as you’re prepared for any weather.
Know before you go
- If camping in the Trossachs, be sure to read up on the National Park’s guidelines on where to pitch your tent.
- It’s important to be prepared for any weather in Scotland—basic waterproofs are an essential packing item.
- If you’re nearing the west of Scotland in summer, particularly May and June, it’s best to bring a midge net and spray to keep the tiny biting flies at bay.
