  • Spacious and pretty site on the shores of the Firth of Forth
  • Convenient public transport to Edinburgh, or a 20-minute drive
  • Dog-walking area, playground and modern, clean amenities
Don't fret about whether to focus on the choice of accommodation or the location of dog-friendly Drummohr Camping and Glamping Site in lovely East Lothian, for both are equally special. The location of the site is an excellent one, in the grounds of an old monastery with plenty of space and partial views of the Firth of Forth from some parts. Variety is key here: you can have urban or rural days out. Edinburgh is in one direction (and accessible by bus or train) and the East Lothian coast and countryside in the other – the Edinburgh to Prestonpans section of the 134-mile path John Muir Way passes within five minutes of the site entrance. More? The sands and shoreline of the coast are a few miles away, it's 25 minutes' drive to popular North Berwick, and there's even a golf club (the Royal Musselburgh) right next door… Like the accommodation and grounds, the Drummohr amenities are modern, clean and well maintained by Angie and her team: there are two refurbished tiled shower and toilet blocks with chemical disposal, accessible family bathrooms with baths, an indoor campers' kitchen with vending machines, and a fully equipped laundry room with metered facilities. Drinking water points and waste disposal are both close to the spacious pitches and there's a licensed shop selling local produce and essentials on site too. Final little touches? How about a playground, a dog-walking area and the option to hire firepits to keep you warm on chillier evenings…

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The 5 stars this campsite boasts are well deserved. From booking in to leaving our experience was fantastic. The site is clean, well maintained and the facilities are some of the best i have experienced on a campsite. We have travelled extensively both in the UK and abroad and this is a superb site. The shower was like being at home, no pressing the button to keep it going!! The water temp was hot and the whole place lovely and warm. There was plenty of facilities around the site. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend this campsite. Thank you Drummhor for a wonderful weekend.

Local attractions

The local bus to the festival city of Edinburgh (25 minutes' drive) runs every 10 minutes during the day, every 20 minutes in the evenings, and every hour at night; the journey takes about 40 minutes. The train from Wallyford runs every hour and takes 10 minutes. There are numerous things to see and do in excellent Edinburgh, but if you're only spending one or two days there, recommended options are the castle, Holyrood Palace, the National Museum of Scotland and the zoo (which has first-class views of the city). Elsewhere, Drummohr's location makes it easy to get to all types of days out around the coast and countryside: golf courses, historic houses and stately homes. The Prestongrange Industrial Heritage Museum (five minutes) has free entry and is a few minutes' walk from the park. Musselburgh (also five minutes) has a lovely walk along the John Muir Way. Other recommended trips nearby include Tantallon Castle (35 minutes) on its headland overlooking the Firth of Forth, trailing nature in John Muir Country Park (25 minutes) or the Lammermuir Hills (40 minutes), an afternoon among the gardens at Tyninghame House (25 minutes), or taking a boat ride around Bass Rock (half an hour to the North Berwick ferry) to see the gannet colony. If the Bass Rock boat ride gets you pondering more about the winged life of the area, the Scottish Seabird Centre is also in pretty seaside North Berwick. At nearby Dunbar (25 minutes), about 60 breeding pairs of kittiwakes are found near the harbour, and nearby East Links Family Park is child-friendly.
