Do gerente: Thank you for your kind review. This is exactly what we hoped the campsite would be. We'd love to welcome you back again anytime!

Gostou We stayed at Ballencrieff Farm for 2 nights and it was great! The field is a really good size so we weren't too close to any other tents. Sarah was so helpful when it came to booking. The arrival instructions were clear and we had no trouble finding the site.

There are 4 portaloos - quite fancy ones with sinks plus soap and antibac gel and paper towels - and they were cleaned and restocked regularly. There's no running water but that wasn't a problem as we could wash hands in the portaloo.

We pitched up on the road side of the field so of course there was road noise throughout the night but this wasn't an issue for us personally. We regularly camp at festivals so we used our trusty ear plugs and both got a great night sleep.

We'll definitely be back next year! Thanks Sarah! X

Gostou Nice quiet, clean and spaceous site, just as described - perfect for 1 or 2 nights, or a weekend, great spot - it had a really nice feel

Não gostou Little bit of noise from the road and train line, but nothing significant

Gostou Simplicity

Não gostou It’s a field next to a busy road and is full of thistles. This is not a nice idillic farm campsite, just a functional place to pitch a tent.

Gostou de locatie, de rust en de ruimte

Gostou Camping was in high demand during Edinburgh festival so it was helpful to find somewhere

Não gostou Basically a field with a portaloo and absolutely nothing else, no human face, no water (no thanks I won't buy your 5 litres of water for god knows how much and your over-priced breakfast!). And the charge is what you pay everywhere for camping with...showers, reception, basic facilities.... so thank you... but... you could provide water surely and reduce your charges and profit?

Do gerente: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear you felt this way about the campsite. It is clearly stated in the description that it is a 28 day pop-up site on a working farm and the facilities are described accurately. The pitch costs are £15 to £20 lower than some nearby sites that do have permanent facilities. This site is intended to be back-to-basics style, with numbers kept to a level that allows plenty of room for everyone, with no maximum tent sizes.
To pipe water to the field would be prohibitively expensive for 28 days of bookings. Campers are welcome to bring their own but offering bottles allows guests arriving on foot or by bike/motorbike an option of water.
The breakfasts offered are supplied by a local business that run a popular food van and as guests deal with them directly, we make no money on them whatsoever, again it was just to offer the option to guests and to try and support other local small businesses.
I visit the site at least once every day to clean the toilets and I am available on the phone at all times should guests need any further assistance.

Gostou De ontvangst door de eigenaars was zeer vriendelijk. Ook de rustige omgeving is een pluspunt….

Não gostou De prijs is wel ERG hoog om gewoon gebruik te kunnen maken van een weide en niks meer.
Geen water, geen elektriciteit. Enkel twee twee dixie- boksen als toilet.
Dus zeer basic maar duur.

Gostou We were only there for one night but enjoyed our stay. The campsite and toilets were clean and it had a peaceful atmosphere.
Will definitely stay again.

Do gerente: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a lovely review! I'm glad you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. We'd love to welcome you back again in the future.

Gostou Good back to basics site with flat, open, grass field and two portaloos that were clean enough when we used them.
Stayed here to access North Berwick ‘Fringe By The Sea’ event via Drem station.

Não gostou Quite noisy being beside a B road that gets plenty of traffic and the East Coast Main Line Railway adjacent to that.
Not a pleasant walk to Drem - only 2 miles along the road, but there’s no footpath and it’s fairly busy.
Not really worth £25 for a campervan pitch considering limited facilities. Would value our stay at £15 tops.

Do gerente: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Under the 28 day rule that this site opens under, we are only permitted to have one campervan or motorhome on site each night so it is fully booked for the majority of the season. We offer one of the cheapest prices for this type of pitch in the local area, with no minimum number of nights and no extra charges for awnings or gazebos.
The far side of the field offers a quieter stay than the roadside and guests are welcome to choose where they'd like to pitch on arrival.
We are a rural location with no footpaths to nearby train stations. There is a limited bus service that runs to Longniddry station or to North Berwick from the Ballencrieff Farm roundabout but it doesn't operate in the evening.
