What customers say

This is a highly recommended, quiet woodland campsite offering a secluded, wild camping experience. Reviewers praise the friendly and helpful hosts, clean facilities including a composting toilet, and beautiful rural surroundings with great views. The site is ideal for families and dogs, with communal fire pits adding to the cosy atmosphere. While some guests noted the need to carry gear from parking and a desire for more water, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many planning return visits.

Katherine R.

Pondwood non-electric forest floor tent pitch (four person)

Liked We liked that the campsite was small, with only 5 sites, with plenty of space inbetween, and surrounded by trees. There was a nice communal fireplace, and the site was isolated enough to feel like wild camping. There was a composting toilet, with a sink at the side to wash hands and dishes.

Disliked Be prepared to hike gear into the site from the car park, although wheel barrows are provided. Also, be aware that there is a railway line nearby, so you will hear trains. Not really dislikes, but worth a mention.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the lovely comments. We deliberately try to keep the nearly wild feeling by asking people to park away from the site, but also, as a working farm it can be quite busy at certain times.

Would definitely go back and certainly recommend.

Pondwood non-electric forest floor tent pitch (four person)

Liked Great little site that is exactly as described, as close to wild camping as you get without fully wild camping. Great communication from hosts who were really friendly and helpful.

Kids (10, 8, 6 and 5) all loved it and the dog enjoyed himself too!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for a great review and hope the Park Run went well.

Solo tents and Hammocks non-electric forest floor tent pitch (solo)

Liked Quiet, near wild campsite, with friendly welcoming hosts, large communal open campfire and great views. Highly recommended!
Wee walk from car park to pitches, but easy with the provided wheelbarrows.
Few minutes drive to the town of Lanark, so plenty of shops available.

Local attractions

The owners recommend taking long walks around the farm, or along the Mouse Water, which bounds the southern edge of the property and has refreshing pools for wild swimming, shallows for splashing around in and canoe hire for paddling downriver. Pretty Cleghorn Glen is also accessible right from the pitches. When exploring a little further afield, first stop might be New Lanark (10 minutes’ drive), the UNESCO-listed heritage village sitting on the Clyde and built for cotton spinners in the 18th century. Today its restored mills and worker housing are open for immersive time-travel tours, weaver demonstrations and shopping. It’s also the gateway to riverside strolls down to the dramatic Falls of Clyde cascades. For days out in the big city, Edinburgh (an hour and 10 minutes) has big-hitting attractions like the hilltop castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Dynamic Earth science centre and planetarium, as well as a lively dining and nightlife scene. Glasgow (45 minutes) pulls in the crowds with famed art galleries including the Burrell Collection and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, and if you’re there at the weekend, Barras Market is a popular spot for bargain hunters.
