Campsites with swimming in Clyde Valley

·

Immediately south of Glasgow, the region known as the Clyde Valley features much of the character of all of Scotland, so much so that it’s sometimes called Scotland in miniature. You’ll find all the best bits of Scotland here, from historic towns and imposing castles to waterfalls, hills and pristine natural habitats. You can pitch a tent anywhere from a small campsite on a working farm to a caravan park or in the wild. Take advantage of the warm weather and long daylight hours by visiting during the summer months, or soak up the rich autumn colours by visiting in September or Octeober.

Lanark, Scotland · 15 units · Tents, Glamping
*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 swimming in Clyde Valley guide

Where to go

Lanark

The UNESCO World Heritage Site of New Lanark tells the story of the utopian industrial community created here in the early 19th century. It’s also the gateway to the Falls of Clyde Wildlife Reserve, where you can follow trails to see waterfalls and wildlife, and close to Lanark Loch and Corehouse Nature Reserve. Well-equipped campsites around here have space for tourers and tents.

Leadhills

Set in a high valley in the Lowther Hills, Leadhills is Scotland’s second-highest village and has plenty to appeal to outdoor adventurers. You can hike and climb in the Lowther Hills, or head onto the Southern Upland Way long distance footpath, which passes nearby. It’s also close to Grey Mare’s Tail Nature Reserve, home to one of Britain’s highest waterfalls. There are a couple of campsites in the area located on working farms. 

Dumbarton

Dramatically perched on top of waterfront volcanic rock, Dumbarton Castle is the main draw in town and one of Britain’s oldest fortified sites. West of the town, the Overtoun Estate has wooded glens, parkland and gardens to be explored and the Kilpatrick Hills are within reach. Loch Lomond is also nearby and offers several campsites on its ‘bonnie banks.’

West Forth Forest

In the village of Forth, just north of Lanark, the West Forth Forest is ideal for walking, cycling and horse riding. You’ll be able to enjoy views towards the Southern Uplands and the Border hills and admire wildflowers in spring and summer. Campers can pitch a tent in a peaceful countryside setting.
