Excellent site, pitches well laid out in small groups, water and waste adjacent to each. Very peaceful location well away from any traffic or noise. Spotless shower/toilet block we did not find any problems cleaned daily. Grounds well managed bins emptied daily. Stayed three nights wardens were very helpful. Dogs loved dog exercise area and the site is so close to the beach and the John Muir way(walk). Castle well worth a visit dogs accepted on leads. Would definitely return if in the area and recommend to others.
This is a gem of a site which we have visited several times for long weekends. The site is set out in small cul-de-sacs surrounded with shrubbery for hardstanding pitches and a central grassed area. The toilet blocks are spotlessly clean and there is a very secure children's playpark at the back of the site. The site is very close to the beach which is within walking distance in about 5mins, which was brilliant for our dog. Direlton village is a short drive, where you will find a small shop/post office and a couple of pubs where you can get a good meal. North Berwick is close by, where you can catch frequent trains into Edinburgh. Mobile phone signals are poor from this site, so if you want total peace and quiet to get away from it all, this is the site to visit.
Busy site when we visited with caravans and camper vans on just about every available pitch. Some of these seemed to have little regard to how they positioned on the pitch and at least two camper vans were positioned directly in front of neighbouring caravans. Although we were told that some pitches with black bin liners covering the peg were not to be used on the Wednesday, little regard was paid to this the following day when more vans arrived. The bay we were in would benefit from having hard standing to ensure that vans don't pitch with total disregard to others.
Although there are some small bays the two largest areas lack interest just being fields and would benefit from planting to break up the large areas.
On the plus side the facilities are good with the largest shower cubicles we have seen. The site could use a second toilet and shower block as there is a long walk from some pitches to it.
The site was too busy for our liking and wondered if the close proximity to Edinburgh make it a popular choice for weekenders escaping the city
As others have said, this is a lovely clean, friendly site. The facilities are spotless, modern and plentiful. There is pot-washing (no wiping-round cloth - take you own) and laundry facilities.
Some of the grass pitches can be a bit bumpy and difficult to get level, so make sure you have ramps with you. The dog walk is great with a poo bin at the gate. The reception is also a very small shop and there is a good information hut.
It is a five minute walk to the fabulous beach, totally dog-friendly and, when we were there, almost deserted. We walked along the beach to North Berwick and came back on the John Muir Way.
The coastline is some of the most scenic we have seen with lots of lovely islands and the Fife coast in the distance.
Going the other way from the site, the John Muir Way takes you to Dirleton, about a mile away, where The Castle Inn does good quality food all day and allows dogs in.
Dirleton castle itself is well worth a visit, fabulous gardens, very interesting castle and they also allow dogs in! A bit further on from Dirleton is Gullane, a pretty, golf-obsessed town, which has the most gorgeous German cake shop. Forget the golf, go for the cake!
Booked 2 nights but stayed for 6! Its a lovely clean and friendly site.
We were there during the bad storm and were quite sheltered from the wind as the pitches are in little glades surrounded by hedges. The wardens are very friendly and helpful.
There is also a very full information room. The big sandy beach is a short walk away and the large dog walk is next to the site. The showers were larger than normal with hooks and a bench.
There are even hairdryers in each washing cubicle - very handy as they are a bit more private. The surrounding area is lovely and clean and North Berwick is well worth a visit.
There is a little shop and post office nearby. We would definitely visit again.
Small flat coastal Caravan Club site with a good mixture of grass and hard standing pitches, all set in small loops of about a dozen pitches. Good facilities as usual for these sites. Walking distance to beach and the pretty village with its one little shop and the Castle Inn (increasingly pricey). Good centre for walks along this part of the coast, walk across the John Muir Way to North Berwick, pretty coastal villages, Scotland's Air Museum, Dirleton Castle, Edinburgh, Bass Rock, Preston Pans battlefield, Tantallon Castle, plenty of golf courses nearby. A very popular site, booking advised.
Our second visit here this year and I still find it a good site for location and scenery (from nearby Yellowcraig beach).
Dirleton village is a 1 mile walk away and is very pretty. North Berwick is around a 3 mile walk but a pleasant one if you've got the energy and has most shops you would need. Or if you want a closer stroll Yellowcraig beach itself provides a bracing burst of air on a cold day.
I don't have a problem with the toilets at this site despite a previous comment about dated appearance. I find them very clean and smart in appearance.
This is a fabulous site and a great base for exploring the coast and Edinburgh. We booked 7 nights here starting the bank holiday weekend, and it was very busy, but due to the layout of the site, you didn't notice it.
If you want a relaxing break away then this site is ideal. Every night we heard different owls, and saw red kites flying nearby. There are lots of rabbits too, and they are quite timid.
As has been said before the facilities were good, very well laid out, and clean.
The surrounding area is home to some pretty villages with quaint shops good for a little retail therapy!
North Berwick is only a few miles away, and has a great selection of pubs and restaurants if you fancy a night off from cooking. The Golfers Rest is reasonable, and will allow dogs in.
A trip to Edinburgh is a must, whilst there do try and fit in a tour on one of the many site seeing buses. We went on the green bus, complete with a guide, who was entertaining to say the least.
We loved this site and we are already planning our next trip there.
Just back (2 adults, 4 children and 1 dog) from an 8 night stay at Yellowcraig. Cannot fault the site in any way. Children enjoyed cycling round the park and particularly to the adventure park in the woods only a couple of minutes away. Another couple of minutes and we were on the most beautiful and clean beach. A mixture of sand and rockpools.
Visited North Berwick, a bustling little town at weekend. Found an excellent play area for the children complete with zipwire in the Lodge Gardens.
Enjoyed a day at Dunbar. Didn't catch many fish, but was entertained by Sammy the Seal who was particularly cheeky.
We didn't really eat out after looking at the sample menus in the information hut on site as they all seemed rather expensive, especially for a party of 6!
As has been said before, this site is very well maintained and constantly being attended to by the staff.
Toilet/shower block impeccable although looking a little 70's. Nice touches like cloths to wipe down washhand basins.
All pitches appeared to be level. There is a reasonable sized playpark for kids.
Dirleton is an absolutely gorgeous village and would highly recommend the Castle Inn for food and drink. We were allowed to take our dog in while we ate, albeit we were in an annexe, but that suited us, and dog, just fine.
Great walks for dogs and suitable roads/paths for cycling.
Take a visit to nearby Gullane & Aberlady. Another 2 beautiful villages with outstanding beaches.
We visited the Museum of Flight which was excellent although we ran out of time.
North Berwick has an excellent swimming pool.
We ate in the following to places in North Berwick and would recommend them both -
Tiger Coast Indian Restaurant, 114 High Street. Excellent food although the nan bread was a bit small.
The Grange, 35 High Street. We had a 3 course lunch in this lovely restaurant and can't commend it enough. Cullen Skink was delicious and a meal in itself. Great value and lovely ambience.
We also took the boat trip to Bass Rock on Sula II. Well worth it. Depending on weather you either get taken up close to the rock or all around it. Seals and various birds on view. Great.
To entertain the kids we also visited East Links Family Prk, near Dunbar which was another great day out. Has a reasonable cafe but offers lots to do and we easily spent a whole day there. For information of dog owners, they provide kennels which only require a £5 deposit for a padlock/key.
For shopping - there is a Tesco at the top end of North Berwick or, in the opposite direction, there is another Tesco and an ALDI in Haddington.
Overall, the site is up there with my favourites and the area is excellent for families, especially those with dogs! Will return.
