Campsites near Langholm

·

Better-known to locals as the ‘Muckle Toon,’ Langholm lies between four hills in a scenic spot where the Dumfries and Galloway region meets the Borders. The great salmon river, the River Esk flows through Langholm, which attracts game fishers. The area also offers excellent walks of varying lengths along waymarked routes through the surrounding hills and glens—at 1,165ft (355 metres), Whita Hill is the highest. Langholm was the birthplace of Hugh MacDiarmid, one of Scotland’s greatest poets, and visitors can see a memorial and follow the Hugh MacDiarmid walking trail through the town.

*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.

Tyne View Camping is a peaceful spot in Tyne and Wear, not far from Hedley on the Hill village. It's on a farm run by David and his family, who welcome guests to enjoy the beautiful countryside views. You can see the Tyne Valley from the camping pitches, which is great for stargazing at night. The site is basic with just water taps and toilets, no showers, but there's lots of space for kids and dogs to play. You're allowed to bring a barbecue or firepit for cooking, and you can buy supplies in Prudhoe nearby. Or, you can walk to Hedley on the Hill for a meal at a top-notch pub. There are plenty of things to do nearby, like walking in the woods, playing golf, or trying gliding. You can also visit Hadrian’s Wall, Newcastle upon Tyne, or explore the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for a varied and enjoyable break.Also this June we will be open for the Sam Fender weekend ie June 12 til the 16th if anyone wants to camp £20 a night plus a taxi for £20

Campsites near Langholm guide

Where to go

Around Town

There are plenty of places to eat in town, as well as several independent shops worth exploring. The community-run cultural venue, the Buccleuch Centre hosts regular concerts, performances and other events such as farmers' markets and antique fairs. Just outside town, Ewes Water Caravan and Camping Park has level grass pitches.

Ewes Valley

Less than 10 miles north of Langholm, the small settlement of Arkleton is tucked into the Ewes Valley, which is rich with wildlife including majestic golden eagles. Surrounded by woodland, The Walled Garden offers a glamping experience in its static wagon.

Gretna Green

A 20-minute drive south of Langholm, the small village of Gretna Green lies on the border with England and is famed as the UK’s marriage capital thanks to the days when young English couples would elope to marry in Scotland. In the adjacent village of Gretna, Braids Caravan Park has pitches for caravans and motorhomes.

When to go

Langholm and the surrounding area is a year-round destination, but best experienced in the summer when daylight hours are long, the weather is at its best and the calendar is filled with activities. The year’s highlight is the Langholm Common Riding, an all-day spectacle of horsemanship and pageantry, which takes place on the last Friday of July—if visiting at this time, booking your site in advance is recommended.

Know before you go

  • Wild camping is legal throughout Scotland as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. If you cross the border into England, be aware that English law prohibits wild camping.
  • The closest train station is Gretna Green, which has direct services to Glasgow and Carlisle.
  • You should be able to find all the essentials in Langholm’s small shops, which include national chains and interesting independent businesses.
