Campsites for hikers near Musselburgh

·

Looking to pitch your tent near Musselburgh and hit the hills? You’ll find over 70 campsites in the area tailored for hikers—most within easy reach of the Lammermuirs, Pentlands, or rugged coastal trails. Expect average nightly rates around £40, with some spots as low as £20 if you’re watching your spend. Top picks include Beirhope Alpacas (86 reviews), where you can wake up with alpacas and walk straight onto remote moorland; West Highland Way Hotel & Campsite (19 reviews) for easy access to Scotland’s most famous long-distance path; and Culdees Castle Estate Glamping (11 reviews) for woodland trails and castle views. Facilities like toilets, showers, and pet-friendly policies are standard. Many sites back onto streams, allow campfires, and offer horseback-riding, swimming, or fishing if you want a break from the boots. Pack for quick weather changes and bring your best pair of walking socks—paths here get muddy, especially after rain.

*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.
