*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.

Farm glamping near Dunbar guide

Where to go

Belhaven Bay

SItuated with John Muir Country Park, Belhaven Bay is a long stretch of beach backed by sand dunes and grasslands that promises the ideal setting for coastal walks and surfing. Belhaven Bay campsite has a range of electric and non-electric touring and camping pitches, as well as a selection of cozy glamping pods and holiday homes for hire.

Whitesands Bay

Around two miles (3.2 kilometers) east along the coast from Dunbar, Whitesands is an attractive and secluded beach that is suitable for swimming and surfing. Within walking distance of the beach, the peaceful Dunbar Camping and Caravanning Club Site has plenty of hardstanding and grass options.

Innerwick

Around five miles (eight kilometers) inland from Dunbar, the small village of Innerwick lies at the foot of the Lammermuir Hills, providing an attractive base for hillwalking and mountain biking. Thurston Manor Leisure Park has electric grass and hardstanding pitches, as well as a host of great facilities, including a gym, sauna and pool.

When to go

Dunbar is known for its high sunshine record and spending a sunny day along its stretch of coast can be glorious. For spending long days outdoors soaking up the sunshine, and enjoying water sports from wild swimming to surfing, visiting between May and August is your best bet. This is also the busiest tourist, however. September is a good alternative as the biggest crowds will have gone but the weather should still be warm.

Know before you go

  • If choosing to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
  • Dunbar is just 20 minutes by train from Edinburgh. Local buses can get you around the area but having your own vehicle offers more flexibility.
  • You can stock up on groceries at Dunbar’s large Asda supermarket, which is within walking distance of the town center.
