*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.

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. The whole project is completely off-grid. The electricity is from solas and the water is rainwater harvesting.
Slow down. Light the fire. Sleep amongst the trees.

Lochearnhead, England · 1 unit
When travelling in Scotland, you will want to have the confidence in the quality of your accommodation, knowing that it will play a big part in the whole pleasurable experience of your holiday.
Our location in Lochearnhead provides an ideal base for walking, water-sports, cycling, with flora & fauna and wild life in abundance. There are many local historic places to inspire you and bring the history of the highlands to life. Or perhaps you'd simply choose to curl up with a good book and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a slower pace of life.
Wester Auchraw is located on the A84, Cycle Route 7 and the much loved walk 'Rob Roy Way'. It sits amongst spectacular scenery in Highland Perthshire yet is only 1 hour's drive from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth.

We stayed in the cabin . We popped some wood into the log burner on and just listened to the wood crackling away, very peaceful and relaxing. We walked the woodlands , which our dog especially enjoyed .had a bbq ( which is also provided) and put the firepit in that evening. It was bliss . Definitely be back

What a breath of fresh air. What a welcome. Its so rare to arrive somewhere and be met by such a friendly laid back proprietor.
Its a lovely rural location but also just outside Glasgow, a brilliant place to stop and rest if you're heading into the big hills.

Nice place. Had everything we needed. The highlight was the dog not having to be tied up. Just wish we brought a fire pit as it got a bit cold so we had to retire early. The pitch was nice and private and the views were great.

It was amazing! The view of the surrounding fells and farms was so tranquil and peaceful. Andrew was a friendly and helpful host. The property was beautiful and there was a good community of campers there that socialized over breakfast. There were also trails on the property that we didn't get to. I would definitely recommend this campsite to anyone that is going to Scotland

1 night at West Highland Way Hotel & Campsite
Very friendly staff. Easy to find. Great facilities. Lovely walks right at back of premises.
Only downside for me was the noise off other campers. People turning up and setting stuff up after 10 pm. Also loud group of lads. But I’m use to wild camping so maybe noise would be acceptable for most.

Andrew was an excellent host, and shared a bit of history about the location. We had stunning highland views from our Motorhome pitch. The food was delicious and the amenities were clean and in great condition. There are plenty of options for glamping and camping on this site as well as Motor Home pitches. I highly recommend this location.

Tips for snagging a campsite
- Booking is recommended for all campgrounds in the national park. Bookings should be made directly with the sites.
- Most sites allow booking many months in advance, so make your reservations as soon as you know travel dates. Smaller sites only allow booking up to two weeks in advance.
- In some areas of the park, wild camping is restricted to designated sites where permits are required from March through September. Permits may be booked up to two weeks in advance.
When to go
The long hours of daylight and promise of fine weather makes May through September the most popular time of year to visit Loch Lomond. The area does get crowded with tourists in summer, however, especially in July and August, so be sure to make bookings in advance. To avoid crowds while still enjoying mild but cool conditions, September or October is a good option with the additional benefit of seeing the shores of Loch Lomond covered in autumn colours and blooming heather.
Know before you go
- You can travel directly to Balloch, on the southern shore, by train from Glasgow. Local buses can get you to other nearby points of interest.
- If you choose to wild camp, be sure to follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Wild camping is restricted in some parts of the national park.
- Biting midges are a nuisance in summer, and Lyme disease-carrying ticks are also present in the park, especially during spring and summer.
- Much of the park and its facilities are accessible, including the track around Loch Katrine. Check the official Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park website for more information.
