Add your business details- Nearly-wild camping field in a rural Lanarkshire location
- A 40-minute drive from Irvine and Glasgow city centre
- Part of a working smallholding; close to Loudoun Hill
Looking for almost-wild camping in Lanarkshire? This rural site is part of a working smallholding on the edge of the small village of Drumclog, a convenient location close to the A71. There's plenty of grass and open skies at West Tor, and lots of room for guests to pick their own plot, while a band of woodland provides shelter from the wind and privacy for overnight guests.
This site is an easy 40-minute drive from central Glasgow, making a great base for quick escapes to the country or longer stints in the rural Scottish Lowlands. Some of the site owners' organic dairy calves can often be seen grazing in a neighbouring field, while at other times of year there's plenty of nature about to keep you entertained.
West Tor has simple facilities like a composting toilet and tap stand on site, meaning that this is a place best suited to self-sustaining travellers who enjoy the chance to build a campfire or cook their own dinner over a barbecue.
Outdoor activities like Drumclog Offroad Centre (five minutes' drive) and hiking trails are also within easy reach.
