Date of Visit: August 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Greg+Stacey 1 review from this member

 We checked in late one August afternoon with our 2 man tent and dog. A couple from Belgium were in front of me and were turned away but we had no problems and got a sea view. Site is new on reclaimed land. Toilets and showers were first class as you would expect on a new site. It needs a bit of time for the landscaping to mature and I can imagine in windy conditions it could be a bit open.

We drove 1/2 mile to local beach at whitesands which was a bit scruffy possibly due to the local cement works. Its ok to walk the dog but not bucket and spade stuff. Local town was ok for a walk round. Pitches had plenty of room and there were a good few spare. If I had one complaint its that on a reclaimed site you would imagine the club would have been strict about the depth of topsoil over the rubble. Pegs need to go in at 45 deg to miss the stones below. Grass was tidy and staff helpful. 


Date of Visit: August 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Iandj 4 reviews from this member

 A very new site close to the amenities of Dunbar but little shelter or protection. A good view to the East of the cement works,fortunately compensated by pleasant views of the Bass rock and May island.

A one goal pitch are the only play facility for children, The staff although helpful at arrival, should do more to police dog owners who allow their dogs off the leash and to run around unsupervised.

Not a site I would recommend for children, unless some play provision and better control of the visiting dog population occurs. 


Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Saz+bob 1 review from this member

 must start by saying that this is not a reflection on the site staff,the most helpful staff of any club site we have stayed on. Pristine facilities.

Be aware - when the site is described as windy it means very windy - the staff were helping people take down awnings at 11.30 pm due to high winds - tents and trailer tents were taking a battering, our awning poles snapped and dented our van - shame because this is fantastic site in a beautiful area,the weather was really hot but the wind relentless.

I would only recommend this site to caravans without awnings - too windy for awnings, tents and trailor tents. Lovely beach nearby and lots of easy long walks. ~ Have to add that we stayed x2 at the old barns ness site which was so close to the new site but so much more sheltered - what a great shame to see it abandoned and empty.

Reviewer: Tracy1977 3 reviews from this member

 We couldn't find the site we were originally headed to and ended up here as it was getting late in the day. This site is not for those who enjoy wilder camping and charges a fortune for non-members. It is very much a site for those who don't enjoy true camping. Very posh toilets for a campsite! The site is pristine to say the least.

The staff were very helpful. Lovely people!

IF you take a tent, make sure you have rock pegs as the ground is by no way ideal.

There was a lot of road noise, but most visitors were in campervans so maybe it didn't bother them as much.

Nice views of the sea if you're placed in a good location on the site. However it wasn't for us, not really our type of place. 


Date of Visit: June 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Freerover22 2 reviews from this member

 This was our first time out with our caravan, the nerves were already on a high.

The staff at the site could not have been more helpful, really good.

We were given a choice of where to set up so we chose the top level with a fantastic view over the bay looking out into the sea, brilliant sunset on our first night.

The facilities were excellent and spotless.

As we have two dogs the dog walking area was very good and more than adequate.

Overall stay was very good and would not hesitate to use this site again.

Date of Visit: June 2010 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Pie*face 10 reviews from this member

 The site managers on this site are the best we have ever come across with the C&C Club. Even when under pressure they were cheerful & helpful.

The site facilities are excellent and clean.

The views are stunning, but it can be windy on the exposed site.

This is an ideal site for a touring base or just chilling.

The pitch sizes are enormous compared to other sites we've been to. 


Date of Visit: June 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Darthillcat 16 reviews from this member

 A very nice site that will only get better as the trees planted mature. Some of the nicest and most helpful wardens we have met, gave us the choice of the pitches on the upper level with fantastic views across the bay, TV reception excellent, mobile signal quite good. Toilet block and facility's spotless

Wardens suggested using the local train to get to Edinburgh instead of our car £18.40p return for the Two of us and a fabulous day out exploring this wonderful city was had with out the hassle of driving.

Can not recommend this site or the wardens highly enough. Location is just of the A1 so easy access for the East coast of Scotland. 


Date of Visit: April 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Lesnlew 4 reviews from this member

 This is a new site. We have been to this site twice, we found it to be open and exposed to the elements, can be very very windy, but young trees have been planted so eventually they will provide some shelter for the caravans. The toilet / shower block exceptional, very clean.

The staff on site have been friendly and very helpful. Plenty of space for caravan / awning and vehicle. There are two aspects to the site, higher and lower we have been on both, both equally as good.

If you enjoy walking about 15mins away is a good beach to walk on and further along the beach will be the old site of Barn's Ness and its lighthouse(well worth visiting).

About a mile from the site along the A1 is a large Asda store. Dunbar town has a small harbour and very picturesque although a few shops in the town were closed. We found it easy to get to, our land mark was the cement works along the A1 as you don't venture into Dunbar itself.

Reviewer: Nedreud 7 reviews from this member

 This is possibly the windiest site the C&CC have. It is a newish site and was quite recently relocated from the old position which was about 1 mile along the coast. When the young trees mature it will be better sheltered but a lot of the fantastic view will go.

The site Managers were really friendly and helpful. You could pick your pitch from any available. The toilets were exception well equipped but the floors suddenly sloped down towards central drain channels. This made it almost impossible for my disabled daughter to walk on them.

There is plenty to do in the area. For shopping there is a very large ASDA just outside Dunbar. The town is very quaint although quite a few of the shops had shut down. There is a beach close by but access is quite difficult if you have any mobility issues. 


Date of Visit: May 2010 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: FLICK8 7 reviews from this member

 On arrival we were met by the Manager who gave us the choice of the last 2 pitches. Once chosen he gave us lots of details about the site, nearby beach and the town. He also gave us advise about leaving the site in our van, advising of the safest route to take and avoid crossing A!. Very helpful.

The weather in the mornings was awful, but by mid afternoon it was good and beautiful sunsets. We went to the East Fortunes Musemn of Flight and it was brilliant, no hurry to get around the place and its got to be the first time that you were allowed to touch exhibits - I mean come on Concorde and Harrier Jump Jets, I'm a female and I loved it.

The Cafe was also reasonable there. Another day we went to the leisure pool in Dunbar and it was good. The Site is spotless as is the loos. My son who is 9 loves football and was very content up at the footie pitch. Only complaint would be that a park for my 4 year old daughter would have been good. I would maybe go again for a short weekend.
