  • 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 gorgeous 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…

What customers say

Great spot for Edinburgh, with good transport links. Facilities are super clean & modern – think roomy showers and family loos. Friendly, helpful staff are a winner. Pitches are spacious & private, with a peaceful vibe. A few mention traffic noise & wanting more on-site stuff.

Zsuzsanna K.

Powered grass tent site (small)

Liked As we had a little glitch with our bus ride from London to Edinburgh, we couldn't get to the campsite on time to check-in, but Zuzie and Helen made it work for us. Lovely welcoming and they made sure we are safe once we arrive. We already felt so very grateful, and their professionalism but also warm welcome made us feel so good, almost like we knew each other for a long time.
From the moment we arrived, we knew this place was something special. The setting is amazing, with beautiful well kept smaller and bigger pods, caravan gravel pitches, grass pitches with electricity etc..The first night we had to stay in one of the pods and it was so spacios with a massive bed, heating, TV, fridge etc..As I am a very rustic camper this was a little luxury for me which i loved 🙂 — The shared facilities were spotless and very well looked after, you can tell how much work and love they put in. Also the site is very quiet which we really loved, also a 5 minute walk from the shore where we seen a seal 🙂
Zuzie helped us getting all our stuff to the pitch the next morning, she picked me up with a buggy and transferred our heavy bags to the other side of the campsite. Small touches like these really made our stay so much better and easier.
The site is also very well situated, only 1 bus you need to take from Edinburgh, bus 26 takes you straight to the site.
As camping is my hobby, I have been in many many campsites throughout the years, this has topped all of them.
Thank you, Zuzie and Helen, for creating something so special. We’ll be back — not just because we fell in love with the place, but because we can’t wait to see our new friends 💚

Bothy camping pod

Liked Clean, lovely bothy, very neat and clean site. Stunning shower blocks with plenty of amenities. Adored the little dog walk that circled the site.
The site feels very modern and updated.

The closeness to the park and ride for getting into Edinburgh was brilliant, but also for heading off elsewhere it’s a great location.

Highly recommend and I’d stay again

Disliked The outside pot wash area can be tricky when the wind is high as I nearly lost some plates in the process of drying up.

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.
