 I cannot find any fault with this site and can only endorse what other people have said.
The wardens are really friendly and helpful and keep the site looking immaculate.
The pitches are quite generous in size and all have sea views because of the elevated position.
We found plenty of things to do and see during our week long stay including trips to :Edinburgh, North Berwick St Abbs and Falkirk, which was about an hours drive away, to see The Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel. Can also recommend the Air Museum at East Fortune and the Motor Museum at Myreton Aberlady.
On the whole a lovely site and we will definitely be coming back.

First visit to this site.
Warmly welcomed and given a choice of pitches, especially as they were not particularly busy.
We had grass with hook up. There was only about 4 or 5 other tents and then a smattering of campervans.
Lovely view from our pitch of Bass Rock and Dunbar. The site is exposed though so was windy. Make sure you peg out well! I would say that all pitches have a seaview, except for the site managers!
Only one toilet/shower/wash up block for the whole site. So if you position your self on the edge then you have a bit of a trek to it. Every thing was clean and tidy. Lovely hot showers. Never seemed busy but the site was not full. Inside and outside washing up sinks.
Very hot on recycling (quiet rightly) so be prepared to sort your rubbish.
WiFi cards for day, week, or year. However it is one code card for one device, so when you have two children with ipad's and husband with iphone. We managed though! Maybe C&C should look at changing this to a code per unit, because it could get expensive! Embrace the technology C&C!
Only one fenced of playarea. A fort combination many aimed at the littles. Picnic site with lovely views, space to fly a kite, play ball games etc and specific dog walking areas.
It is a short walk to the nearest beach at White Sands, a small sandy beach with rocks to climb. Dunbar is also a short walk or drive in the opposite direction, a nice little town. An Asda is also close by.
The site is just of the A1, although no traffic noise. It is close to a cement works/quarry and Torness Power Station but they are not so close that they spoil your stay/view. A1 enables easy access North to Edinburgh and further or South to Berwick and Northumberland coast.
Would definitely visit site again.

We stayed just the one night at this site but thoroughly enjoyed our short stay.
The sea view was lovely from our pitch and we were able to walk along the coastal path into Dunbar whilst watching a bit of Golf along the way.
We had a very friendly welcome and were provided with all the information we needed.
The facilities are fairly new and very clean and well kept.

An excellent Camping Club site. Good clean modern facilities, spacious pitches (some grass, some hardstanding). The WiFi worked very well all over the site, at £2 for 24 hrs or £10 for a week. Wardens extremely helpful, especially Paul.
Dunbar is a good walk or short cycle ride away, or you can park free at the swimming baths near the harbour and High Street. Nice to see a range of individual shops along the High St. If you need a supermarket, there is a large Asda, with cheap fuel, a couple of miles away on the A1.
Very much enjoyed a short stay and intend to return for longer.

Stayed here for 2 weeks in August together with group of families and lots of kids. It's a fantastic site with a high quality playground and was thoroughly enjoyed by all the family.
It's a spacious site and we never felt crowded.
There are quite a lot of rules but that's typical for a CCC site and the rules are there for a purpose. (Rules also help prevent the type of campers who aren't interested in rules).
As noted in the other reviews, it's a windy site but that's the price to pay for a magnificent view of the sea. We actually had to pitch our tent on the day that (the tailwinds) of Hurricane Bertha were passing over the UK and we therefore needed lots of help pitching our tent, and got it up at the second attempt with the help of the legendary Schleiders and Bambergers.
There's lots to do in the area - I'll list a few:
North Berwick Law and Air Museum.
St Abbs Head - clifftop walk
Pease Bay and Cove
John Muir Country Park - you can then walk from there to the campsite
Lammermuir Hills - Lammer Law
Edinburgh and attractions - incl the Fringe during Aug
Pressmenan Woods
Trapain Law - has a picnic spot
Blairdrummon Safari and zoo - 1. 25 hours drive but well worth it if you get there early enough.
Will no doubt be returning at some point.

We hve visited before but got quite a surprise at the new play park that has been built. It never had one until this year. There is also a large, fenced in grassy area for children to play very safely.
There is a dog walk with a great view and a ball games pitch.
The pitches are really large. Both the hard standing and the grass.
Staff were cheerful and friendly.
The shower block is well kept inside the building as well as outside with flowers in pots and patches.
Even the chemical disposal was spotlessly clean.
This site is now one of my favourites due to it now feeling welcoming to families.
A sea view from every pitch just adds yet another positive.

Lovely site, with great sea views. Staff friendly and welcoming, showed us to our pitch. All facilities clean and tidy. Great motorhome service area, although water points on site can be a bit of a trek depending on where you are pitched. Nice walk along the coast into Dunbar, about an hour and half. Most of it along side the golf course so dogs must be on leads for most of the way. Dunbar itself is not that exciting, but a drive to North Berwick is a must, lovely beach and seabird centre and a high street with some lovely independent shops and nice cafés.

We went to this site to do some walking on the john muir way. And planned to walk down to cockburnspath. Cracking site well kept with nice clean toilets etc. Didn't use the site shop but it had the usual basics. Bit windy when we were there but it's on a hill by the sea so probably not a surprise. Planning to return in a few weeks to do some more walking. Would recommend the site to anyone!

An open and spacious site overlooking the sea and the small harbour town of Dunbar.
We arrived at just after 8pm on a Friday. The site was easy to find off the A1. Reception was closed but staff were on hand to take us to our pitch. Friendly and helpful with advice etc.
Pitch was on one of the lower slopes looking out to the sea. Site was busy as expected in peak season. Mostly motor homes and touring vans.
Rock pegs absolutely essential. Hard work pitching nevertheless.
Toilets and showers clean and fairly modern. Ample water and waste points about the site. Pitches well separated and lots of grassy spaces around. Two dog walking areas. Site is enclosed but still advisable to stay on leads.
Beach is 15 minutes walk from the site. Quite attractive but there are better ones a short drive away eg pease bay and belhaven bay.
Dunbar is 10 minutes by car. There is an asda just outside of town, which also has a petrol station. In town there are a number of eateries including Chinese, Indian, Turkish Kebabs, Italian, and Fish and Chips, as well as Coop, bakery, hardware shop, post office, banks and ATMs etc
Some people have commented on the cement works. From most parts of the site you don't see it. Only the higher ridge pitches have views to the Cement Works, and even then its almost a mile away. Noise from the A1 and railway line is minimal, only hearing them faintly during the night.
We camped in calm weather. I imagine the cold easterly winds could be problematic when they blow up because there's little shelter on site.
All in all a nicely placed site that is spacious and close to good facilities.

Usual Camping and Caravanning Club high standards, clean modern and well equipped shower block. Helpful and friendly wardens. The site is sloped so can be hard to find a good flat bit for a tent, and you need good strong pegs for the hard ground. However I had a lovely pitch with an interrupted view over Dunbar and the sea, lovely sunset every evening. It is very exposed and it was quite windy for a time, but didn't cause me any problems. There was a bit of background noise from the A1, the railway line, and the cement factory nearby but not too bad. Nice beach further along the road. You can go by train to Edinburgh (from Dunbar. £11. 20 return). Dunbar is a couple of miles away and is a pleasant little town, lovely fish and chip shop on the main street. Wall to wall golf courses in the area but lots of things to see and do. Lovely area, highly recommended. I was sorry to leave and will go again sometime.
