Camping in East Lothian

East Lothian's coastline is the main draw for campers, and sites here tend to sit close to the beach or within easy reach of it. Dunbar has a good concentration, including Belhaven Bay and the Dunbar Camping and Caravanning Club Site, both handy for the coastal path and the town's harbour. Further east towards the border with the Borders, Thorntonloch Caravan Park makes the most of a quieter stretch of shore.

Around North Berwick, Yellowcraig Caravan and Motorhome Club Site and Tantallon Caravan & Camping Park put you within striking distance of the castle and the golf coast, while Station Park Caravan Site offers a more low-key base in the town itself. Aberlady's setting suits those wanting birdwatching and quiet walks over nightlife.

For something less conventional, Harvest Moon Holidays, Pinkerton Hill and Wamphray Croft lean towards glamping, with fixed accommodation that suits a shorter break without the packing. Gilsland Caravan Park adds another option for those touring by van rather than tent.
