thanks

Hi Crispie,

We stayed at Haven Holiday Parks Seaton Sands, its full on with pool, club and SLOT MACHINES, has a touring park but mostly statics, its near Longniddry where we got the train to Edinburgh which was about 15 mins away.  Its worth a look. There is a lovely promenade to walk down, maybe 3/4 mile to a small shop and chippy, we rode our bikes a lot.  The area is nice.

Good luck

Stayed at Drum Mohr, just outside edinburgh in august this year. They also have lodges for hire and the bus into the city is 5 mins walk away, train station is bit further. We would use the site again if visiting Edinburgh

Also have a look at Morton Hall, we haven't stayed here but did see busses going there from the city centre. http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=2992

We've stayed at Tantallon in North Berwick a few times. Lovely site and there is a regular train service to Edinburgh.

(Be warned - driving into the centre of Edinburgh is a little chaotic!)

Hi crispie

You could try Linwater campsite which is in east calder. This site is handy for Edinburgh and only 30 minutes drive into the city or local park and ride. You can hire a small log cabin which is around £20 a night. Site is of an excellent standard and well looked after by Jean the owner. We have been there many times and have never been disappointed. Read the reviews of Linwater on this website.
