  • Family park half a mile from Coldingham Sands beach and watersports
  • Within 5 minutes' drive of St Abbs and Eyemouth; an hour to Edinburgh
  • Kids' club, indoor golf, outdoor play, chippy, spa and bar and grill
Find your way to Scoutscroft Leisure Park for adventures at the seaside or the city: this well-placed park is an easy half a mile from spectacular and award-winning Coldingham Bay beach and just over an hour’s drive from the sights and shops of Edinburgh. There’s loads to do on site too (this is a firmly family-friendly park), including indoor miniature golf, a kids’ club, a snooker room and an outdoor play area. Food and drink is sorted for all tastes too at the fish and chip takeaway for quick bites (perhaps on the beach…?) and the Sands bar and grill for breakfasts, lunches, evening eats, snacks and a wide selection of bevvies ranging from soft drinks to cider. Drink up, then drink in the scenery: Scoutscroft is close to the Berwickshire coast and the Scottish Borders, handily placed for weekends away or longer hols exploring sandy beaches and nature reserves. To take the excitement up a notch, watersports including surfing, kayaking, diving and bodyboarding are easily sorted from the park; elsewhere, days out at local port town St Abbs and harbour town Eyemouth are within less than 10 minutes’ drive. These places are also where you can pick up provisions at supermarkets… or simply meander between the two on a coastal hike.

Camping pod (superior, pet friendly)

Liked The location is great for lots of outdoor walks and access to Coldingham Bay.

It did the job for a last minute family weekend away.

Disliked The toilet block and dish washing facilities were a good 5 minutes walk away. We had to complain about the lack of hot water before & opted to wash out dishes at the hut instead.

The hut was clearly old. I moved one bed and the corner behind it was damp & the floor clearly rotten. It wasn't as clean as it could have been.

The huts were closely packed together and the one we were in didn't have much space outside. The picnic table was up agsinst the step into the hut. The other huts had more space & appeared to get the sun more.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the location and that the site worked well for a last-minute family break with access to local walks and Coldingham Bay.

We're sorry to hear that other aspects of your stay did not meet expectations, particularly regarding the distance to facilities, the hot water issue in the dishwashing area, and the condition and layout of your hut. We appreciate you bringing these points to our attention, and your comments will be shared with the relevant teams for review and follow-up.

Thank you again for your honest feedback.

Liked Super friendly staff, very quiet, close to the harbor which is great for photos and drone, facilities and restaurant were great.

Local attractions

Hikers might want to pack their boots for a stay at this site: the Southern Upland Way starts a 20-minute drive from Scoutscroft Leisure Park in Cockburnspath and the Berwickshire Coastal Path can be picked up at St Abbs Head Nature Reserve a 10-minute ride away. Not up for getting in the car? Coldingham Priory is less than 10 minutes on foot for checking out architectural marvels closer to home. For more wanders around historic buildings, Paxton House is a 25-minute drive from the park while Bamburgh Castle – where scenes from one of the Transformers franchise was filmed – is 45 minutes away. The 16th-century Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island takes about the same amount of time to reach and is a must-visit for its memorable views out to sea. Vistas soaked up, guests can learn about local history at Eyemouth Museum, a 10-minute drive from the park, or journey over to Berwick-upon-Tweed (a 20-minutes drive away in Northumberland’s most northerly tip) for explores around Elizabethan walls and the town's galleries. Urbanites can also head to Scotland’s capital in an hour to roam the Royal Mile and scale Arthur’s Seat.
