Bonnybridge Eco Camping & Glamping

Bonnybridge Eco Camping & Glamping is a family-run site just outside Falkirk, with open-field tent pitches alongside glamping tents and pods. Dogs are welcome, and campfires are permitted in designated areas. A toilet and shower block and fresh drinking water cover the practical essentials, while the choice of accommodation suits both visitors bringing their own tent and those opting for glamping. Bookings are handled by phone or email.

The Falkirk Wheel and The Kelpies are close by, giving a stay here a strong connection to the area’s canals and engineering heritage. The Wheel is a rotating boat lift linking the Forth & Clyde and Union canals; visitors can take a boat trip to experience the structure in action. It replaced a historic flight of locks, making it an interesting stop for anyone curious about how Scotland’s waterways developed.

At The Helix, between Falkirk and Grangemouth, the 30-metre-high Kelpies stand beside the Forth & Clyde Canal. Beyond the sculptures, the park has paths for walking and cycling, a lagoon and an adventure play area, so a visit need not be limited to a photograph. Whisky enthusiasts also have Rosebank Distillery in Falkirk to consider, with guided distillery tours and tasting experiences offering a different way to explore the town’s industrial heritage.
