Ok, so we’ve been coming here for a while and it remains a favourite. Not just for us, but many others, given the occupancy which is always pretty full.
And it’s easy to see why.
The rather special sandy beach, a few minutes walk away, the John Muir walk to North Berwick and Dirleton, the closeness of Edinburgh itself. All these and more make this a “must stay” location.
But (and there had to be one, didn’t there?)...
The site is becoming quite tired and is almost a victim of its own success. The pitches can be quite cramped, and the closeness of other guests rigs can be intrusive. Some guests have taken to using huge, massive awnings which more than double the footprint of their caravans. This can impinge on others available space.
Similarly, the small “side on” pitches are really only suitable for small campervans and yet large caravans and motorhomes have to be squeezed on them due to the lack of pitches elsewhere.
The facilities are perfectly adequate, but not outstanding, and they are in need of some renovation.
So, it’s really time for a refresh and refurbishment with perhaps some consideration for a rethink on the layout of the entire site. This might require fewer pitches, but it’s a bit like a restaurant taking on too many covers. Everyone suffers. Far, far better to have fewer, better pitches. Everyone will be happier.
For now, visit the site and enjoy the location. But be aware that you choice of pitch may be limited, and limited in size... and close to your neighbours.
