Hi just wondering if anyone could recommend any good campsites on the East side of Scotland, Trying to stay clear of the midges!!!  We are going away beginning of June. We are members of both clubs but would also like to hear of any smaller sites which people find by chance!!!

From the bottom up -

Yellowcraigs CC site at Dirleton near North Berwick (fairly large site but doesn't feel big)

Balbirnie Park CC site at Markinch (small and well placed) in Fife.

Silverbank CC site at Banchory on Deeside (again small and well placed).

We've also heard of a good CL at Cruden Bay in Aberdeenshire - listed under Ellon.  Not stayed there as when we are in that neck of the woods we MUST stay in Fraserburgh as our friends there would not like us to stay elsewhere - sadly the council site there although practical for us isn't great.  There are a couple of CL's around Fraserburgh which we are planning to check out this year when we are there as the council site is v dear - the downside for us is that the CL's are a fair way out of town so not always practical as we like to be able to walk into town/to friends houses etc.

You don't have to go right to the  coast to escape the wee blighters. We have been to Newtonmore twice and never got bothered. Braemar is lovely,also midge free, well I never so or felt any!!!!  I am sure there are a lot more sites.

Well that covers about nine or ten hours of driving, from the campsites down at Eyemouth to Sutherland. How far do you want to go?
