  • 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

Spick and span campsite with primo modern facilities (showers with tunes, baths!). Friendly, helpful staff are a winner. Easy peasy to get to Edinburgh by bus or hit the coast for a stroll. Chill, organised, good for dogs and kids. A few whinges about a grumpy receptionist and dodgy WiFi.

Gill C.

Powered grass tent site (small)

Liked This is a lovely site, the owners were so welcoming, showed us to our pitch, and as it was quiet, picked a great spot for us.

Facilities are great, showers and toilets are immaculate (little speakers in the shower room are a great addition my daughter loved it in there!).

Excellent play area for the kids.

Location is also brilliant, 2 minute drive to Wallyford train station where you can park your car for free and hop on a train for 10 minutes into Edinburgh Waverley.

Disliked Nothing!

Sarah E.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site (large)

Liked Everything, this was the perfect stay. It started with a very warm welcome from the front of house staff who showed us to the pitch and gave us a run down of the facilities and the local area. Maggie our dog even had a welcome treat and the site had made every effort to make dogs welcome. A lovely dog walk, dog shower and plenty of local walks, even on the cost at the end of the road. The facilities were excellent and spotlessly clean, every little detail had been considered to make your stay perfect. The showers were the best I have ever had at a campsite, made better by the sing song 🎵 to the music being played. We loved our stay here and will be back, we didn’t wake up until 10am which is unheard of for us and the dog. Just goes to show how relaxed we were. Thank you team x

Route directions

If travelling from Musselburgh along the B1348, look out for the large chimney of the Preston Grange Museum and take the road uphill signposted to the museum. There is a tight corner prior to the campsite and therefore this route may not be suitable for caravans.

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.
