Campsites near Greenock

·

Just 40 kilometres west of Glasgow, Greenock is a handy base for heading into nearby hills and mountains and exploring Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Keen walkers will be especially interested in the Greenock Cut looped trail around an aqueduct that takes you through moorland and high above the town for panoramic views of the River Clyde. You can also get a good view over the Clyde from the town's Esplanade and at Lyle Hill at the west end of town. Other attractions include the McLean Museum and Art Gallery and the Old West Kirk, which features stained glass by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR WEEKEND BOOKINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. CAMPING OPEN FROM 1st May to End August* 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, all a gentle walk from the sites.

Bowie Wood

12. Bowie Wood

52km from Greenock · 1 unit
Escape to the Woods Tucked away amongst the trees at Bowie Wood, our spacious 6m bell tent is a secluded woodland retreat designed for slowing down, switching off and reconnecting with nature. Set on its own raised timber platform, the tent looks out into the woodland, with a covered awning creating a sheltered spot to sit outside with your morning coffee or simply listen to the forest around you. Inside, natural coir flooring, a king-size bed and the warmth of a wood-burning stove create a cosy retreat whatever the Scottish weather decides to do. This isn't a manicured campsite. You're staying within our woodland, surrounded by mature trees, mossy ground, ferns and wildlife. Red squirrels, roe deer, woodpeckers, buzzards and bats are all visitors to Bowie Wood, and after dark the woodland becomes wonderfully peaceful. Follow the woodchip path back to your tent, light the stove, make a hot chocolate and settle in for the evening. On clear nights, step outside and look up — away from the bright lights of town, the woodland is a beautiful place for stargazing. Although it feels hidden away, Bowie Wood is close to Stirling and makes a wonderful base for exploring central Scotland, from Stirling Castle and Bannockburn to the Ochil Hills, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs. Bowie Wood is an ongoing rewilding project, where we’re working to restore and enhance the woodland while allowing nature to flourish. You may notice areas of ongoing work around the wider site as we continue to improve habitats, paths and facilities. We aim to keep any disruption to guests to a minimum. Come here for the quiet, the trees and the chance to experience something a little different. Slow down. Light the fire. Sleep amongst the trees.

Greenock camping guide

When to go

The west of Scotland is often wet, so be prepared for rain any time of year. Visiting in the spring and summer months means that you can fit more activities into the long hours of daylight. Winters, while chilly, are fairly moderate but daylight hours are short. If planning to hike the West Highland Way or explore Loch Lomond, it’s a good idea to time your trip for spring or autumn to avoid the biggest crowds.

Know before you go

  • Some private campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before travelling.
  • Greenock is served by eight railway stations, which provide services to Glasgow, Gourock, Wemyss Bay, and beyond. Local buses can get you to other places of interest, including Largs and Loch Lomond.
  • Don’t worry if you’ve forgotten something—you’ll likely find anything you need in Greenock's shops. Start with the large Oak Mall Shopping Centre.
