Back-to-basics pop-up campsite on a working East Lothian arable farm
The Museum of Flight, Gullane golf clubs and beach 10 minutes’ drive
Off-grid grass pitches and dog walk on site; shop five minutes’ drive

When you’re looking for your next no-frills Scottish camping adventure, have a look at Ballencrieff Farm Campsite, a simple sort of affair five minutes’ drive from the shops and pubs of Longniddry in East Lothian. The grass pitches have utilised a hitherto unused triangular field in a quiet corner of a busy arable farm (expect to see tractors about the place and to hear some farming noise), and are admirably suited to anyone looking for an off-grid camping experience in stunning countryside. The campsite is on a grass field without marked pitches, so campers can choose where to set up on arrival. As it’s a pop-up site, there is no running water or waste collection on site. You can bring your own water in or buy five-litre bottles once here – handy for those of you arriving on foot or by bike. There are also two portable loos on the camping field, and a walkway around the perimeter of the farm where you can walk your dogs. Simple and back-to-basics this site may be, but it certainly packs a sightseeing punch, being close to east-coast beaches, museums and ancient Roman ruins.
