Reviewer: Heartofscotland 1 review from this member

 Great location, scenic and serene for the most part. Great links with North Berwick and surrounds. Local supermarket and beach access. Not so great with toilet facilities. Small level of facilities available for the overall size of park. Not enough staff available, although infrequently cleaned by one person.

 We stayed here with friends for a couple of nights at the end of the summer holidays. The site is very well catered for and has lots of amenities (most of which we didn't use). The site was busy the weekend we were there, but despite this the toilets and showers were kept clean and tidy. The toilet blocks have loads of toilets in them, and a couple of showers. The showers were hot (after you endured the arctic blast of cold water. Wakes you up for sure!) and I never had to queue for a shower in the morning. The site is a 15 minute coastal walk from North Berwick and a 10 minute walk from both Tesco and Aldi. The weather wasn't the best when we were there and so on the Saturday night we decided to hire the BBQ hut. For £25 you get the exclusive use of the BBQ hut for 3 hours, which is just great. The hut is a custom made hut, with a circular seating area with a chimney BBQ in the middle, worth every penny! There aren't many downsides to the site, it's a bit pricey (but there are loads of amenities), it's near a busy road (you are aware of this if camping) and I'm not sure the noise curfew is adhered to (but didn't cause us a problem). In all a great site, large pitches and somewhere I think I would stay again.

 Just back from a fabulous 2 night (tester) stay at Tantallon with 2 x Mums and 2 x kids (8 and 6). Nice welcome at reception (whilst kids eyed up all the sweeties) which is open until 5pm - some camping equipment and basics in reception shop as well as lots of tourist info. They will also re-freeze your ice packs (subject to room in the freezer). Access to games room with 2p machines and other more expensive arcade games which kids were also eyeing up. Great park with flying fox adjacent to games room (and a laundry which we didn't try out). We found our pitch with a little reversing and getting out of car to check pitch numbers (on concrete slabs so you can't see them from your car). Ours was pitch 34 - sunny, close to toilet block and a wee wooden BBQ house that you can hire out. We loved our pitch and would ask for it again. Large pitches with plenty room for your car, tent, chairs, outdoor cooking area etc. We were right opposite a picnic bench which we used for breakfast as it was in the morning sun. Kids had a blast - quickly making friends via the large grassy area opposite and then roaming around the whole site together, going to park, games room etc. Adjacent to toilet/shower block was the washing up area (not covered) with two sinks. Water posts dotted everywhere. As pitches are quite large electricity posts can be quite far from you - our longish extension was only just long enough to just reach into tent - we mostly charged phones outside or in the car but this could be an issue if it had rained much more than it did. Lovely walk to beach through golf course, big Tesco very close, Aldi tiny bit further.

Only tiny things on wishlist to make this place 100% perfect: 1) only two showers per block, although there were plenty hooks behind door there are no hooks or benches or dry laying areas outside showers and the showers are soooooo strong (and shower heads not moveable) everything got drenched! Bring lots of plastic bags to put your dry clothes, towel etc in and hang them on back of the door. 2) cafe or a latte machine would have been v. Cool! 3) bacon butty van (which their sister site at Mortonhall has) would have been amazing!

Definitely going again.

 Overall this is a good site and I wouldn't hesitate about returning again, however.

I agree with the previous comment about grass getting trailed everywhere. Apparently they don't collect the grass after they cut it so there's plenty to take into the car, the tent, the toilets, tesco, aldi!

The toilets were bearably clean but a long way from meticulous. The taps are pretty grungy around the bases and the men said their bathroom was pretty filthy at times.

We arrived late and no one told us where to plug the electrics in. The hook up needed an extension and we tracked someone down at 2130 who gave us a lead.

The electrics tripped frequently as I think some folk were trying to run a fairly powerful heater. It affected everyone on the hook up.

It was a bit pricey.

The playground was nice.

Well located for beach walks.

20 minute walk into town.

Plenty of visitor attractions nearby.

Collect the grass, Polish the taps, it'd be pretty close to perfect!

Reviewer: WeGoBongo 7 reviews from this member

 Beautiful located Site with views out to the Bass Rock. Very well maintained site. Received a warm welcome by a man on reception, who gave us all the info we needed. Pitch was a wee bit difficult to locate as numbered slabs on the grass, and we weren't too sure how to park up the van as we had to come off our pitch to ensure the hook up reached. However this could just have been the fact it was mother and daughters first time away on our own!

Facilities were good. Separate toilet block, and additional toilets within the shower block. Toilet block could have been a bit cleaner, but ok.

 We had a three night stay at this lovely, well maintained site. Staff at reception very helpful. The location is superb with views to Bass Rock and Tantallon Castle just a five minute drive away. Toilets are cleaned on a daily basis and the only criticism I have is that the shower curtains could be longer. Great facilities if you have children with a play park and Games room located behind reception. The tented area we were located had a BBQ hut that you can hire out, also it was near the housing scheme but no noise at all the only drawback is after the grass has been cut, you then trail the grass into your tent and also the toilet block. Tesco is a five minute walk from the site. Would definitely be back and would recommend to a friend.

 Just back from a last minute weekend away, on arrival the staff couldn't have helped more.

Some pitches are on a slop, but nothing to drastic. We did need an extension for the power as ours was to short, the shop helped us out with 1 for a £20 deposit which we back on return.

The toilet and showers were spotless, with a recycle centre and waste bins within easy walking distance.

This a very clean and quiet site and a credit to the staff.

There is also a short walk to the beach and North Berwick.

We will return.

Reviewer: Mighty-mondo 5 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 2 nights, the facilities are spot on!

The park is very well maintained and clean & tidy, showers and toilets are very clean.

The pitches were reasonable condition given its near the end of a busy summer season (grass was faded ever so slightly but otherwise fine. We stayed in pitch 34 next to the BBQ hut and the picth was massive which allowed us plenty of space.

We were greeted with a friendly welcome by Jim at reception who gave us plenty of info on local facilities (there is a tesco store within walking distance of the site if you have forgotten anything and it has a petrol station. A nice 10 minute meander takes you down to the beach which was spotless and deserted.

We had a brilliant stay and like the last reviewer we experienced the most spectacular thunderstorms on saturday night and torrential rain (we must have stayed the same weekend)

All in I would definitely recommend this site and will definitely be back

Reviewer: Youngbunch 2 reviews from this member

 Arrived Friday evening for a short 2 night stay. Hard standing tourer with hookup. Cracking views over the Forth and North Berwick. Good clean facilities and easy parking of caravan. An observation is that the grass standing looked to be on quite a slope so would recommend levellers.

The site did seem to be busy but plenty of room between plots and all was calm.

Cracking thunder/lightening storm on the Saturday night !

Will return.

 Used this site as a stop over on way home. It is an excellent site. We had hardstanding, EHU, water and drainage. Disposal facilities were convenient too. The site has fabulous views across the bay to North Berwick, to Bass Rock and all the sea in between. The showering facilities etc were very good - amongst the best of the whole trip - so our overall impression was very favourable. North Berwick itself is well worth a visit

 In a great spot overlooking the sea and close to North Berwick.

Great spots to have a BBQ on the beach or cliff tops just a few minutes walk from the site.

Quite pricey, but facilities are good.

North Berwick is a lovely town - definitely worth spending some time there.

A walk up Berwick Law offers good views.

Reviewer: Nanny G 8 reviews from this member

 Found this site by visiting the Tourist Information office in Berwick on Tweed. What a find! Our pitch was overlooking the Firth of Forth and Bass Rock but was slightly sloping, so needed wedges. The weather was glorious and the site was very quiet. No noticeable noise from the nearby road. We walked to the town across the golf course and down the headland to the beach as advised by the person in reception. We couldn't find a taxi rank in the town so asked at the local newsagents. The owner very kindly phoned a local company and five minutes later a mini bus came to take us back to site. £5. A must for wildlife spotters. We saw pairs of Eider Ducks but unfortunately no porpoise that day. Good pot wash facilities, toilets and showers which were all in with the price of £27 which included two adults and a dog. Fantastic dog walking area and free dog bags to clean up. Although we did not have children with us, we noted that there was plenty of space for family play and a playground too. Probably the best site we have ever visited.

Reviewer: Sasamax 7 reviews from this member

 We visited Tantallon for the second time this summer (4 years since our last visit) - we had previously taken the caravan but this time were camping on an electric pitch.

The staff were friendly and helpful and the pitch nice and level even if the hard ground did bend quite a few of our pegs. I did feel that the pitches were a little close together.

The play park is excellent and kept our older 2 entertained, the toilets and showers good and clean, even though one of the showers was broken in our nearest toilet block.

Not much else I can say about the site - it is very big and about half an hour from the excellent North Berwick which has super beaches, great bars and restaurants and a real holiday atmosphere.

I think the camp fees are very expensive - we paid £36 per night for our electric pitch which is significantly higher than other sites. Unfortunately, being the only camp site in north berwick which takes tents, they can get away with it but it still leaves rather a bad taste in the mouth.

Reviewer: EARMSTRONG 1 review from this member

 Very nice open site about a mile from North Berwick. Even at a fairly fast pace it takes a good thirty minutes to walk to town via the golf course and beach.

It is a pity that their are no club/bar facilities on site as in order to eat out you need to drive into town or if having a drink with your meal walk or taxi both ways.

Good play areas for kids

The site fees are expensive and for this price Internet should be free and available across the whole site and not just a restricted area

Staff are friendly and helpful. 


Date of Visit: June 2014 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Floopy1 2 reviews from this member

 Our initial welcome was lovely, Laura couldn't have been more helpful in guiding me around the park map, giving me leaflets and discount vouchers we might use on our stay and explaining where everything was.

The park is very large but well laid out so that everything is in separate sections. We were in the Bass Tourers section on a grass with electric pitch. You should note that there is a bit of a slope on this field and this made for a bit of fiddling with the caravan when we first arrived. The pitches are quite hard to see as they are marked by a slab in the glass (flush with the grass) We found it hard to know exactly how to park. Did we park with the number in the middle? To the side? Anyway just a small note.

This was not helped by a motorhome turning up on our last night and parking so close that I felt they were in our caravan with us. They were equally confused about where they were to be in relation to their number and we felt it would have been much better if the pitches were more clearly defined.

The views are spectacular, truly very captivating. You have Bass Rock, the view over the beech to North Berwick and the view across the sea. The beech is a 10 minute walk away through the golf course and is easy enough to get to.

There is a short dog walk, which is decent enough to take your dog for a wee run. But not a 'walk'. We have to say we were really disappointed with the number of dog owners who completely ignored the 'all dogs must be on a lead' rule. I don't think we saw a single dog on a lead the whole time we were there. As dog owners we found this a bit annoying. Not all dogs like other dogs running over to them, especially if they are on a lead.

The park mentions security, but the whole time we were there we did not see anyone checking the site, enforcing any of the rules or guiding people on pitches.

The facilitates were good, clean and well maintained. We mainly used the small toilet block and the family shower unit which were absolutely fine and very clean.

We had our 2 year old with us and there wasn't an awful lot to keep him entertained. The park was lovely but more geared to older children and he struggled with the walk to the beech.

Overall we think this is a nice site, just maybe not our kind of site.
