  • Back to basics off-grid site under 15 minutes' drive from Forfar
  • A 15-minute drive from the Angus coast and 25 minutes from Dundee
  • Indoor kitchen, plus wildlife pond, nature trails and kids' art shack
Beaches, mountains, ancient buildings and cool urban wanderings… all are within easy reach of Greenhillock Glamping, a spacious family-oriented glampsite in the Angus countryside just under 15 minutes’ drive from Forfar town centre. Getting around from this handy location is pretty straightforward, as it’s just a few minutes’ drive from both the A90 and the A92. And yet the vibe on site is very much one of rural peace: this is an off-grid place that’s been set up to make the most of its natural surroundings, with eco-friendly additions like eco composting toilets and solar or gas-powered showers to help preserve the environment. This is, in fact, something of a haven for free-range families: there’s plenty of den-building material around for kids’ constructions, and a wildlife pond has lots of wooden platforms for dipping in the water (plus some basic science equipment to help you identify what you’ve found). There are plenty of ways to explore the site’s natural attributes too: for starters, you’ll have five acres of wildflower meadow at your disposal, along with nature trails mown into the long grass and stretching off into the surrounding copse like something of a natural maze (a very handy way to amuse the kids for a while…) Panic not if the weather takes a turn: creative kids should find plenty to play with in the art shack, and there’s a field kitchen with cooking facilities, eating space and a woodburning stove to ensure meals can be had in the dry. Other facilities include a covered washing-up area and three communal barbecues.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great campsite - loved the pizza nights, the friendly welcome by Kate and Stig, the location - wildflower meadows, forest, quiet camping spots - the kids could run free.
The communal kitchen with indoor area is great for adverse weather and the toilets, tooth brushing area and showers are ideal.
Great location for exploring local beaches and close enough to Dundee for a day out in the city.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Beautiful setting within wild flower meadows. We saw swifts swooping and diving over the meadows, feeding on insects. The site is surrounded by agriculture and there’s a wood to explore too. Kids loved the art shack and the pizza making.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (adults only)

Liked Fantastic site , where you can just switch off and relax , so well laid out . Keeping cars in the car park and off site is a big bonus as you don’t have to worry about vehicles passing closely by your tent.
The pizza is a must!
The site owners are so helpful and accommodating and work tirelessly throughout the day, the site is a credit to them and their hard work.
Loved the solar showers so warm !
Look forward to visiting again. John and Tracey

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked I had a very lovely stay here. We were greeted by the very friendly man in charge who took us for a lovely wee tour of the site. The pitches sizes were huge which was great and there were lots of nearby water taps. The compost toilets were very clean and good looking and helped give the campsite a wild, environmentally friendly feel to it. Very much enjoyed my stay and would definitely consider returning for a longer visit.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (adults only)

Liked The location was really good, perfect site set up with good sized pitches. Even the eco toilets etc were well looked after. The owners Stig and Kate helped us so much with a few issues we had and were always on hand if anything else went wrong.

Disliked Showers were a little cramped being 6ft but that is just splitting hairs

From the manager: Thanks for your lovely review. We enjoyed hosting you and beautiful Marshmellow the cat. Do come again soon!

A wonderful, wild, human- and wildlife friendly campsite.

Liked A wonderful site. Got a personal tour of the facilities on arrival, there's a separate quiet field for campers without kids, which is rewilded meadow so lots of birds and butterflies everywhere.
Freshly fired pizza on-site for dinner on a Saturday night too!
Will definitely be back.

Bell tent

Liked Great vibes on this campsite! With solar showers, rewilding areas full of wildlife, alternative buildings and composting toilets a wonderful place to enjoy a holiday! Parking is away from the tents and barrows for transport, it keeps it wonderfully unspoilt. Due to the weather and availability we were upgraded to a Hobbit House, it was a perfect stay 🥰

Disliked Low doorposts of house and toilets, which was more of a problem for my tall husband though 😆

Local attractions

Which way first – coast or mountains? If you select the former it’s a drive of about 15 minutes to the famed seafront golf course at Carnoustie, 20 minutes to feast on seafood in Arbroath or half an hour to the spectacular sands of Lunan Bay (which the owners say is among their favourite places on earth…) Heading inland instead, mountain climbers can get to the Cairngorms National Park with a drive of 40 minutes or so. For less challenging activities, try walks in the forests, hills and streams of the Angus Glens (20 minutes’ drive) or watersports and bike trails in the nearby country parks. Make time too for a trip to Dundee (25 minutes), a city that’s got UNESCO City of Design status and attractions like the RRS Discovery, the ship that made the first successful journey to the Antarctic. On top of that, get to grips with Scottish history at Glamis Castle (20 minutes), said to be one of the finest in the land, and meet some of the more sizeable native beasts at Camperdown Wildlife Centre (25 minutes).
