Details checked 7 August 2026 Β· source: Google Places Woodland tent site near Dunbar with off-grid setting, open-fire bath, campfires permitted and dark skies for stargazing. ## About Pinkerton Hill This tiny woodland hideaway truly earns its off-grid credentials. Reached via a rough mile-long track (4WD recommended, though lifts are available), Pinkerton Hill's handful of pitches nestle among trees with sweeping views toward the North Sea. The vibe is refreshingly wild, yet you'll find proper facilities including a kitchen, shower block and a memorable outdoor bath where water heats over an open fire. Campfires are permitted when conditions allow, using logs from the site. Part of a working Scottish smallholding, you'll share the space with friendly pigs, ponies, poultry and a sociable Scottie. The dark skies make for excellent stargazing, and while the setting feels genuinely remote, Dunbar's shops and eateries sit just ten minutes' drive away. Edinburgh is barely 40 minutes if you fancy city culture between coastal walks, surfing sessions or castle visits. The owners' catering company can sometimes arrange meals on request. A few guests note the track can challenge standard cars, but most agree the peaceful reward is worth it. ## Photos Photos via Google ## Can I bring...? β›Ί Tent pitches βœ“ Yes 🚐 Caravans welcome βœ• No 🚌 Motorhomes welcome βœ• No ✨ Glamping available βœ• No πŸ›– Lodges & statics βœ• No ## Pitch types - β€’ Non-electric forest floor tent pitch Pitch details as listed by the booking provider β€” availability and exact pricing shown at checkout. ## Facilities 🚿 Hot showers βœ“ πŸ“Ά Free WiFi βœ• 🏊 Swimming pool βœ• πŸ›’ Onsite shop βœ• 🎠 Children's play area βœ• πŸ– BBQs allowed βœ• πŸ”₯ Campfires allowed βœ• 🧺 Laundry βœ• 🎣 Fishing βœ• πŸ› Hot tub βœ• β™Ώ Accessible facilities βœ• πŸ…ΏοΈ Hardstanding pitches βœ• 🍽️ Bar/restaurant on site βœ• Bath available Ice pack freezing Internet access Pick-up from public transport Shower available Toilet block Washing-up area Family friendly Barbecue provided Barbecues allowed Campfires allowed Commercial vehicles allowed Dogs allowed Remote location Charging facilities Renewable energy ## Takeaway & food delivery Handy if you fancy a night off cooking β€” here's what delivers near this site. ### πŸ₯‘ Just Eat β€” 2 takeaways deliver to this postcode (EH42 1RX) Shapla Tandoori β˜… 5.0 Β· Indian, Curry Subway - Haddington β˜… 4.0 Β· Sandwiches, Lunch Checked 26 Aug 2026 β€” always confirm on [justeat.co.uk](https://www.just-eat.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ## Nearest supermarkets Handy if you're self-catering or need to stock up on arrival. - Asda, Dunbar 1.6 miles - Morrisons (small store), Dunbar 2.3 miles - Co-op, Dunbar 2.4 miles - Tesco, North Berwick 10.1 miles - Aldi, North Berwick 10.3 miles - Lidl 19.2 miles Straight-line distances β€” the drive will be longer.

The grass field is immaculately kept. Kay is very welcoming and nothing is a bother. The views over Dunbar and the Bass rock are spectacular. Dunbar with its shop filled high street is a 5 minute drive with plenty places to eat. Make sure you visit the harbour and see if you can spot the seal. There are loads of walks near by. The site itself has an elsan disposal point and a fresh water tap! (All thats required for us) and plenty fresh air!
