Riverside camping in Scottish Lowlands

·

Pitch your tent along the rivers of the Scottish Lowlands and wake to the sound of water cutting through heather. You’ll find over 50 tent-friendly campsites that put you steps from riverside hiking, fishing, or even a bit of horseback-riding. Prices start at £25 a night, with most spots averaging around £40. Facilities like toilets, campfires, and pet-friendly policies make it easy to settle in and enjoy the outdoors. For tried-and-tested picks, check out West Highland Way Hotel & Campsite (19 reviews), Cleghorn Farm (7 reviews), or tuck yourself away at Garden Yurt in a hidden glen (3 reviews). Don’t forget to keep your rubbish sorted—locals care about keeping these rivers clear. This is Lowlands camping: practical, scenic, and never far from the water’s edge.

*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.
