  • 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.

Great spot near stunning beaches & walks. Pods praised for being clean, comfy, well-equipped & good value. Friendly staff. Some found toilets/showers a fair walk away, needing updates & better water pressure/hot water. Many keen to return.

Camping pod (superior)

Liked The staff were friendly. On site entertainment was great.
Glamping pods were just a short walk away from the car park and had just about everything we needed

Disliked Toilet/shower blocks are also a short walk away from the pods, but they are not worth the journey. In desperate need of some tlc
Pods would benefit from a microwave

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the kind words! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the glamping pods, friendly atmosphere, and on-site entertainment. Your feedback about the toilet/shower blocks and the suggestion for a microwave is much appreciated—it’ll be shared with the team as we look at ways to improve the experience for all our guests.

Carl E.

Camping pod (superior)

Liked Great value pod with good facilities in excellent location for walking to the bay and coastal walks beyond. Also close enough to the A1 to drive further afield. The toilet block was only a few mins stroll away and clean with hot water. Didn’t use the Wi-Fi, but had a decent phone signal (EE).

Disliked Some signage en route to the toilet block and pointing to the dish washing room in that section could be beneficial. Descaling/replacing the shower head would also make better use of the water flow.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review Carl! We're glad the pod, facilities, and location suited your adventures—and it's great to hear you had a good mobile signal to stay connected. We really appreciate your constructive suggestions on signage and the shower head, and we’ll pass them on to the team as we continue refining the experience for our guests.

Wai Ching L.

Camping pod (superior)

Liked This campsite is a fantastic budget-friendly getaway. The camping pod was clean, warm, and surprisingly well-equipped with a heater, TV, and fridge—perfect for a comfortable stay. Best of all, it's just a short walk to the Coldingham beach, making it ideal for relaxing strolls or seaside fun. If you're looking for an affordable spot with great amenities and a perfect location, this place is a hidden gem. I’d definitely come back again!

Camping pod (superior)

Liked The pod was well appointed and good value. The entertainment was great and the bar/restaurant was ideal.

Disliked Toilet block was very tired, too far away from the pods and the shower water pressure was virtually non-existent.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you found the pod well-appointed and great value, and that the entertainment and bar/restaurant added to your experience. We appreciate your thoughts on the toilet block and shower pressure and will take them into consideration for future improvements.

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.
