Opening Greenhillock Glamping represents a long held dream to share this inspiring place with other people interested in the outdoors. Relaxing in the wildflower meadows listening to the bird song is as much as you have to do to unwind for the weekend.
If you feel more adventurous there are mini beasts to find, dens to build and campfires to light. Children can roam freely on the self contained site, near enough for parents to relax, far enough to have their own adventures.
We strive to balance the simplicity of camping in unspoilt countryside with just the right facilities close at hand. For groups and those seeking a social experience, we offer the Field Kitchen a communal cooking and chill out space so you can gather for a drink at the end of the day or play a board game together, regardless of the weather.
There are a whole variety of outdoor games, books and art materials to keep the family entertained if they ever tire of pond dipping* so there's no need to leave the site (unless you want to!).
If you don't want the hassle of pitching your own gear book one of our beautiful bell tent pods. Situated in the secluded North Paddock the bells offer a private, tranquil spot to relax with a book or cuddle up round the fire pit. The bells are equipped with a double bed and bedding for adults and camp matresses for children. On the deck you'll find your own firepit and BBQs are available to borrow.
Dundee and Angus offer visitors a huge range of experiences, those keen to get active will love the gorgeous Angus glens for walking and mountain biking. We have sailing and waterports at the nearby Monkie Country park and the gorgeous beach at Lunan bay for surfing (or dog walking). For hsitory buffs Glamis Castle and Arbroath Abbey are on the doorstep.
In nearby Dundee (just a 25 minute drive away) you'll find museums, galleries and the famous RSS Discovery visitors centre. Artisan and craft food and drink are a local speciality with loads of opportunities to experience tastes exclusive to the area. You mustn't leave without tasting Arbroath Smokie!
Whether you come for the weekend or stay all week we can promise there's something for everyone at Greenhillock! We look forward to welcoming you for what we hope will be the first of many stays.
Transport
Greenhillock is located 4 miles from the A90 between Dundee and Forfar. Travelling North take the exit for Inverarity and South for Kirkbuddo - take the B9127. Pass through the village of Inverarity heading West to Whigstreet. For Satnav, use the postcode DD8 2NL. However this takes you to a neighbouring house so don't stop there instead, coming from Whigstreet continue on over the railway bridge and where the road turns sharply to the right, to the left there is a farm track signposted "Greenhillock". Take this left (NB straight on takes you into the wrong field!) and follow it to the first house you come to. Reception is located in the stable block.
By Car
Due to our remote rural location sadly the best option for getting to us at the moment is via car. In order to protect our wildflower meadows we do not permit cars to be parked next to the camping pitches. There is a short walk between the car parking area and the pitches and we provide you with jazzy wheelbarrows to move your gear (and children) around in. Please advise us if you have any mobility needs which would make this difficult and we will endevour to find a solution.
By train / bike
Arbroath station is 12 miles from Greenhillock along quiet country roads. If you are a cycle tourer then this is a realistic option for more eco-friendly transport.
