 Our first time at this site and we weren't disappointed.
It helps if the weather is good but there are terrific views across the Forth and lovely sunsets when its nice. The site needs to mature a little with some bigger trees and such like but that will come with time.
Toilet facilities are spotless and sufficient. The wardens had a great manner and attitude.
The site is minutes from the beaches at Dunbar and its good to walk along on a pleasant evening. Dunbar as a town is a bit run down but has the basic facilities you need, and Edinburgh is only half an hour drive or so.

Spent 8 nights on our first family camping trip here, booked online through the Camping & Caravanning Club, gave our tent dimensions and chose the pitch offered with electric, only to be told on arrival that this should have been booked as a jumbo pitch and they didn't have any available but they managed to find us a pitch. Will be more aware of this when booking anywhere again.
Lovely site, plenty of space in between pitches, great sea views and Bass rock, some super sunsets also. Very safe for the kids. Toilet, shower block immaculate, although they closed the main block for cleaning 10.30 am till 12 everyday and had to use a solitary family room within those times which had queues forming.
Play area (football) away from the main touring area, dog walk okay. Lovely quiet beach within walking distance or you can take the car. East Links Family park about 10 mins drive great for the kids, no dogs allowed though.
Lovely food at Belhaven Fruit Farm cafe, as is their non dairy ice cream, went to pick strawberries but because of bad weather earlier in the season was delayed till middle of June. Would go back but have become hooked on camping once again, as I was when I was a child with my parents, and would like to visit other places.

Good points first!
The site managers for this season have been superb, very friendly & helpful at all times. The toilet & washing facilities are very good and kept extremely clean. Access to the site is a doddle, really close to the A1. Superb wildlife nearby with beaches a shortish walk or quick drive should you chose to go by car. Loads to do in the area, with Berwick, Dunbar, North Berwick, and Edinburgh, to name but a few locations, all nearby and easy to get to. Great open views of the sea from the site too.
Bad points: It was almost constantly being buffeted by strong, if not gale force winds with no shelter . Trees have been planted but it is clear that many of them have been killed off by the elements. Bottom line it's never going to be sheltered here but if you can put up with the winds it's pretty much okay. No kids play park though although there is an area for football away from the pitches. As a result my girls were at times bored at the lack of facilities. The installation of a climbing frame/swings would easily sort that although for some reason the C&CC seem reluctant to spend money on such a thing despite claims that they offer family friendly facilities?
Acid test - will we return here again? Doubtful - fed up with the wind - it's a real pain, and the kids do miss a play park where they would normally meet up with other youngsters staying on the site in question. Enjoy your stay though!

The toilets and facilities are very nice and clean. They don't smell and are very very very clean!
It has belhaven fruit ice and that is very tasty!
The staff are very kind and helpful especially if it is your first time (like us!)
You can get a very nice view from the pitches and you can sometimes see wildlife, such as deer and rabbits.
Overall it was a very nice campsite and it was really good for our first time away caravanning, The staff are very helpful and it is just a really nice campsite, I would love to go again!

Decided to go here at the last minute due to the weather. Wardens were friendly on the telephone and on arrival at the site. We were able to pick our own pitch. Nice views from the site. The WC and showers were clean with plenty of hot water. Only complaint was the fact there is only one soap dispenser and hand dryer in the ladies.
Lovely walks from the site and from Dunbar. If following the John Muir way be aware that the trail is suffering from erosion so detours are necessary. We really enjoyed our visit to the John Muir nature reserve. We don't have children but the nearby fort with animals and train looked very busy so may be worth a trip. We had a nice Chinese take away from the something Palace in Dunbar, sorry forgot the complete name. We really enjoyed our short stay here and will go back.

Our first visit to this site having been regulars at the 'Barns Ness' site now closed. Although not as homely or as well established (yet). The site is lovely. Pitches are generous in size and have lovely sea views.
The toilets are spotless but there could do with being more of them as there is only one block to cover the entire site. If pitching on the upper level (RHS as you enter the site) you will have a bit of a trek for water and emptying the chemical toilet.
No children's play park, but it is not really needed as you are 5 min walk from whitesands beach.
The staff, as normal with club sites were very friendly and helpful.
Over all expensive but in my opinion well worth it. We will defineatly visit again.

A real treat - if you want panoramic views this is the place, if you want top class shower facilities, its perfect and if you like great customer service then book this site.
We stayed for 3 nights and wished we could have stayed longer, the weather was awful but that didn't spoil the stay because the site was first class.
We enjoyed the views, visited the local beach for the dog walk which was perfect, there is a golf course near by. It was a 5 minute drive into dunbar which is a beautiful fishing village, plenty of shops, site seeing, the harbour and castle remains all in all a perfect location and a perfect site.
We did not have children with us so unable to comment however the children who were there seemed to have fun.

Spent 3 nights on this excellent site. Friendly site staff. Newspapers and fresh bread available daily. Super new facilities. Very clean with plentiful hot water.
Great views to Dunbar and Bass Rock. In Dunbar watch fishermen return to harbour with their catch and feed seals. Excellent Leisure Centre in town plus plenty of shops, cafes etc. We used the Coast Cafe [next to railway station]. A short walk from the high street but well worth it. It has free wi-fi too. Good atmosphere and beers in the Volunteer Arms.

This is a lovely new site with loads of space and brand new facilities with ample toilets and showers and that is why it costs more so you have to be happy to pay £30/night or so. Personally, I am all for paying and enjoying space and stunning views but I can understand other people's disappointment at the price; we saw a family turn round at 6 pm having been quoted £40/night, so check your costs first.
Staff friendly and helpful. Site is a 10 minute road walk to a lovely beach but you can drive it in 2 minutes and park up there. Unfortunately you can't access beach infront of site due to a golf course. There is a lovely walk to Dunbar (45 mins) where you can see seals swimming in the harbour if you are lucky, which is just as well as there isn't much else going on there! Food shops are very good though and it is a pretty place.
Great site for a short stay but beware of the winds if you pitch on top row.

There is no denying the beauty of the location or views, the beach at Whitesands is awesome. Dunbar is as nice a town as you will find, look out for Lauderdale park .
The site, being new, has a clean toilet block, the family shower room was ideal [I wish all sites had this!] just as well because the showers in the main toilets were far too hot and weren't adjustable. There was no way my two kids would have been able to use them, I couldn't stand directly under them.
Being non members it was more expensive than usual and did lack a play area for small kids. The toilet block was always busy with queues for a shower and was a bit noisy on our first night there, it's clearly not big enough for the size of the site.
The staff, however, were first class and the warden even helped turn our caravan around to get full advantage of the views .
