Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Excellent location for exploring all the beaches and hills between Edinburgh and North Berwick. Easy access to Drem Station for regular trains into Edinburgh for festival days out. And Kate(?) our host was very friendly with lots of tips on places to visit. All for a very good value stay during peak season!
Disliked: Thistles and nestles on the camping field. Lack of running water to easily refill water bottles. No wifi. But all easily solvable by next year. Noisy road and train line are pretty close.
