Campsites for hikers in Glentress Forest

·

Set up camp in Glentress Forest and hit the trails—this patch of southern Scotland is a magnet for hikers who want to pitch a tent and walk straight into adventure. With over 25 campsites catering to walkers and ramblers, you’ll find pitches tucked under thick pine canopy or with sweeping valley views. Prices range from £20 a night up to a £120 average, so you’re covered whether you want to keep it simple or splash out. Top picks include Beirhope Alpacas (86 reviews), where you’ll wake to curious faces at the fence, Cleghorn Farm (7 reviews) with roomy pitches and stargazing, and Muiredge (4 reviews) for quiet woodland mornings. Showers, toilets, and pet-friendly policies are common, and you’re likely to spot roe deer on your way to the fishing spot. Bring your boots—the forest trails won’t walk themselves.

*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.
