Cleghorn Farm

Liked I had an excellent 2 nights this weekend (Fri PM - Sun AM). Lauren met/introduced me and pointed the way (sorry I was a little late). It's about 300-400 metres from car to camping area along a gravel then strimmed grass path, but an easy walk or there's some wheelbarrows nearby to make life a little easier (I didn't use them on Friday but helpful when bringing in Saturday's supplies).
A Great Wee Setup!! 5 pitches spread well enough apart in a large wooded but still very open and spacious area, a central circular fire area with log seats and smaller BBQ grills for separate cooking, fire bucket and recycling bins. You can relieve yourself in the Composting toilet shed and use the hand pumped water for washing (non drinking afaik, bring/boil your own).
On Friday night there were 3 other campers in 2 tents but they left v.early Sat morning and I had the place to myself after that. Absolute silence, there's a railway line not that far away but the birds were louder that it and nothing in the fields alongside, at least when I was there.
About 2.5 miles from Lanark, so plenty to go look at nearby and shops for stocking up. There's places to walk here on the farm as well. I took a 'short' walk along 'The Long Avenue' on Saturday night (about 1.5miles there & back) and got some lovely views, no extra wildlife but there were some semi domestic jacket nibblers in the fields/paddocks :)
Alex was really helpful, had a good chat as he got me more wood for Saturday's campfire, and another before I left on Sunday.
Thanks both, had a great time (being left on my own)

Liked We waren niet blij.

Disliked Met de locatie, we moesten een heel end met onze spullen in een kruiwagen met een lekke band rijden. Dat was geen probleem geweest als de rest in orde was. De natuur wc was redelijk schoon maar een schepje om spul over je grote boodschap te gooien ontbrak. Water om je handen te wassen was een pompje daar moest je opdrukken met een hand en dan kwam er een straaltje water. Dan moest je je andere hand nog wassen. Er was verder geen douche en water. Er was een groep mensen die de hele nacht aan het ruziën waren. 7.30 uur zijn we snel vertrokken.

From the manager: Hi,
We are very sorry that you felt like this about our site.
We try very hard to make it as close to wild camping as possible and the composting toilet and lack of showers are both clear in the details. The flat tyre on one of the wheelbarrows you had borrowed was something that we didn't know about and my wife couldn't have dealt with at the time as it needed repairing: I went to the car park to try and fix it but it wasn't there so assumed that you had managed. I repaired the puncture that evening.
There was a scoop for the composting toilet last weekend but we are busy and things go missing, if you had mentioned it I would have brought a new one up.
The sink has a plug so that you can fill it with water to wash your hands: we are off-grid so there is no power or mains water all of which it mentions in the Features on the PitchUp listing, along with the fact that you need to bring water for drinking.
I am very sorry that the other party disturbed you; they informed me that one of their group had got angry and left in the night. Our policies demand quiet time between 2200 and 0730. We had messaged you prior to your arrival to request your arrival time and provide a contact number to raise any issues, all of which we could have resolved if we had known.
Once again I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your time here with us as we try very hard to make all of our guests feel welcome.
We hope that you had a safe onward journey and enjoyed the rest of your time in Scotland.

Liked We loved everything about our stay (1 night), as did the kids! Alex was really nice & told us to text if we needed help etc but we didn’t. I’ve seen people mention about the walk to pitches from the car but we managed with 2 adults and 2 children (11&4) it took us about 5/10 minutes to walk up with our 11 year old also pushing a wheelbarrow as we had 3 very full wheelbarrows (serious over packers lol) we just felt it added to our wee adventure! We also took our own bbq/fire pit but didn’t need to as there’s a communal fire pit with all different sizes of racks against a tree that you can use to cook! We were also planning on going walks etc but ended up just staying at the site where the girls played hide and seek, collected sticks and we made our own fun! The 4 us of us can’t wait to come back 😁

Liked Fantastic little spot for peace and quiet. Great that there are only a couple of pitches so you are guaranteed a peaceful stay. Campfire circle means open cooking and fun evenings.
