What customers say
This friendly, family-run campground gets rave reviews for its welcoming hosts, Donna and Andrew, and its scenic setting with donkeys and ponies. Spacious, clean sites offer good basic amenities. It's a prime spot for coastal exploration and easy trips to Edinburgh via the nearby train. Most loved the simple charm, though a few noted the basic facilities, with one mention of small toilet stalls and no drying space in the shower.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Stayed here with my two sons for one night. It’s an excellent little camp site, my boys really enjoyed the donkeys and the lady who runs the site was very friendly and let the boys feed the donkeys their breakfast which they said was was the highlight of our trip! Facilities are basic but very clean. We didn’t use shower but chemical toilets were clean and there were enough for the size of the site (no queues). Bins, sink, drinking water and a shelter for eating were also available. Site is pretty level, easy to get pegs into the ground. Owners gave good tips on where to eat locally and we had top notch fish and chips on Gullane beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Really clean facilities. Welcoming hosts. Lovely large level pitches.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked My daughter and I stayed for 2 nights camping. Donna was really welcoming and helpful when we arrived. The site was immaculate and the pitch was a great size. Big enough for a large tent and a second car when my wife joined us for the second night. The campsite is in a nice spot with great views of the sunset each night. My daughter loved the donkeys and ponies. I would highly recommend this quiet peaceful site. We’ll be back!

Great location, quiet, peaceful, welcoming.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Warm welcome from Donna, space between other campers, clean loos, friendly donkeys on site.
Disliked Nothing, if we were staying longer or if the campsite was busier there aren’t many toilets but this wasn’t an issue - we really enjoyed our stay.

Notre expérience a été exceptionnelle.
En effet, L'accueil hyper chaleureux et la gentillesse de Donna et Andrew est incroyable. Ils sont attentionnés, a l'écoute et très aidant. N'hésitez pas à leur poser des questions ils seront de bon conseils.
Concernant le cadre il est idyllique, un terrain très simple mais parfaitement situé en pleins milieu de la campagne écossaise. A 10 minutes à pied de la gare pour aller à Edinburgh.
Les sanitaires sont très propres, nettoyer tous les jours, eau chaude à disposition.
Le petit plus, 2 ânes trop mignon, et des petits lapins gambadent dans le champs.

Good size pitches/space for car, facilities clean, staff lovely.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Donna and Andrew were very welcoming - when we said we would be arriving later than anticipated, they told us not to worry just to keep them updated.
The donkeys were cute and took an interest in our dog, they kept racing him as he went past their enclosure.
When I had an accident in my car, they let me wait there until a recovery truck came to get us for our journey home. Could not have been more helpful and hospitable.

Andy & Donna are cracking hosts!

Liked Loved the hosts, the setting, the simplicity and the surroundings! Proper camping with primitive facilities without any pubs, amusements or shop! Donkeys on site are a joy along with the rest of the local wildlife.
