WE REQUIRE AT LEAST 48 HOURS NOTICE FOR CABIN BOOKINGS* 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 campsites near Moffat guide

Overview

Europe’s first designated Dark Sky Town, visitors flock to the Dumfriesshire town of Moffat, where light pollution is minimal, to take in the wonders of the night sky. During the day, Moffat also attracts a steady stream of walkers following the Southern Upland Way coast-to-coast long distance footpath and exploring the surrounding hills and many miles of parks and paths. In recognition of the great walking opportunities available here, Moffat was the first town in Scotland to be awarded the 'Walkers are Welcome' status. Lying on National Cycle Route 74, running from Carlisle to Glasgow, it’s also a great cycling destination.

Where to go

Around Moffat

Staying in Moffat puts you within easy reach of all the town’s attractions, such as the Moffat Museum and the striking Devil’s Beef Tub, a deep, dramatic hollow in the hills behind the town. Just a few minutes’ walk from the town centre, Moffat Camping and Caravanning Club has grass and hardstanding pitches.

Grey Mare’s Tail Nature Reserve

A 20-minute drive north of Moffat, Grey Mare’s Tail is a magnificent waterfall dropping over 200 feet (61 metres) from Loch Skeen. Visitors can explore the surrounding nature reserve and climb the peaks of Lochcraig Head and White Coomb for views as far as the Lake District in England. A 10-minute drive south of the reserve, glamping pods are on offer at Wigwam Holidays Moffat.

Nith Valley

Around 40 minutes south of Moffat, the River Nith is known for its trout and salmon fishing. The Southern Upland Way passes through, as does the Kilpatrick MacMillan Trail cycling route. Just outside the village of Auldgirth, the adults-only Red Squirrel Campsite has pitches for motorhomes and caravans.

When to go

The summer months are the best time to visit the area. While sunny days can’t be guaranteed, the long daylight hours mean you can pack multiple activities into each day. If you are planning to hike the Southern Upland Way, spring or autumn is best for avoiding the biggest crowds. Stargazers should aim to visit between October and March, when the nights are long and skies are at their clearest and most crisp.

Know before you go

Wild camping is allowed throughout Scotland, as long as you adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
The weather in Scotland is always changeable, even in summer. Come prepared with warm, waterproof clothing.
While you can get around using local buses, this can be a time-coonsuming way to travel. Life will be much easier with your own transport.
