Date of Visit: July 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Johari 9 reviews from this member

 We stayed at Dunbar in July 2009. The site was very well maintained and clean, and the toilet block pristine. We were offered the upper level to pitch out tent, which was great because we had most of that area to ourselves. The downside was the wind, although the site manager did advise us it would be windy, and if we wanted we could move. We opted to stay put. The site is also near the sea, and there is the constant roaring of waves, which we got used to.

However, pitching on the upper level gave us the most fantastic views over the bay to Dunbar, and the Bass Rock. I did notice trees had been planted, so perhaps in a few years, this view may not be available.

There was no play area, but at the top was a football field and goals, which went down great with our boys. The shop sold fresh bread from a local baker every day.

Dunbar had a great swimming pool, and that summer kids were getting in free to the pool. North Berwick is also easy to reach, we enjoyed Preston Mill, and the beaches in the area.

I'd thoroughly recommend Dunbar, we had a great time there.

 Nice location. Facilities are nice though might be stretched if the site is full.

Usual issue of narrow C&CC hardstandings and unmade site roads. However the views more than make up for this. Fife can be seen on a clear day if you look hard enough.

Will certainly visit again. 


Date of Visit: June 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Stupot72 1 review from this member

 We stayed at this site at the begining of June, this was our first stay on this new site.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the shower block was spotless with plenty of hot water as you would expect as it's all new. Although the site was quiet when we went, I can imagine it could get busy at peak times.

The pitches were plenty big enough for our large 6man tent including space for your car too, the shop was well stocked if not a little expensive, but there is an Asda just a 5 minutes drive away.

Views here are stunning and the site is designed well enough that you should have a sea view from pretty much anwhere you pitch, there is a great beach a short walk away, or a drive if you're feeling lazy and at low tide there's plenty of rock pools that our kids loved! there is also a large playing field with a goal, no swingpark which is a shame.

One word of warning though, this site is very exposed and the winds can get quite strong, that coupled with the hard ground it's on means you should bring some decent pegs with you along with a windbreak!

It is quite expensive here but we thought it was value for money. 


Date of Visit: May 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Sadgitcaravanner 5 reviews from this member

 A new site (2008) with very clean facilities, lovely bright flowerpots and friendly welcoming wardens. A shop stocking various goods and papers. Good sized pitches with nice views. No serviced pitches.

Dunbar and the shops 10 min by car and a lovely beach is only a 15 min walk from site.

Down side: Disappointed kids as no swing park. Site busy and had to queue for showers only 1 toilet block for over 100 pitches. Some drivers don't know what 5mph is and going round too fast.

Very Pricey. Not much change out of £30 a night for a family. It may be the friendly club but certainly not a budget friendly campsite so check prices before you go. 


Date of Visit: April 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Cara89 30 reviews from this member

 We thought this site had loads going for it. A bit of a gem tucked round a corner and a gem of a beach to match. Large pitches with sea views. A lot of planting has been going on. Trees that will provide shelter in years to come but nicely positioned-they wont spoil views.Is it not great to be looking onto sea, hills and forest? There are also shrubs, geraniums etc round loo block etc that the owners are working hard with.

As there was no park we hesitated in booking. Our children like a social centralising place. However, as there was other children playing outside they made friends and played with wee toys together. Whitesands beach-a short walk or cycle away was beautiful. Open spaces on site. Ball games field. Very relaxing stay, nice feel about it. Loos and showers great! Friendly welcome and also when we visited shop.

Date of Visit: April 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Tazhearts 1 review from this member

 Broke our camping duck here for two nights. We were the only tent in the campsite (it was mid April). We were camping with our two kids (3 years old and 9 months).

Campsite is pretty much brand new having moved a couple of miles closer to Dunbar from it's previous site (due to the expanding quarry next door - you don't see or hear this from the campsite).

The views from the campsite are stunning, looking out over the Sea, the Bass Rock and the roofline of Dunbar. We were lucky in that we had great weather although one day of wind. Dunbar is the sunniest place in Scotland but beware there is no shelter whatsoever at this site and you are up high on the coast so look at weather forecast before you go.

Pitches were large. Toilet block was superb, quality showers, spotlessly clean and it also had two family bathrooms which were great for the kids.

Plenty to do in the area. The main public park in Dunbar (near to harbour) is superb (best public park I have seen) for the kids and they can spend the whole day their playing for free! East Links Family Park is also definitely worth a visit.

The campsite has a small shop and sells fresh morning rolls etc. My only gripe is the shop doesn't open till 9am which is the middle of the afternoon of you have kids who wake up at 6:30am.

There is no children's play park (a bug bear of mine that most campsites don't have them). Although for older kids there is a big grassy area with quality football goals and nets.

We paid £20 a night for the pitch and EHU. That was as camping and caravan club members and included free kids (as under 5). I think it's slightly on the expensive side.

Reviewer: Kojac 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed for 6 nights as non members. At a total cost of £158 for two adults, I think this is over the top. I'm glad I didn't have two kids and two dogs as well.
Facilities were good as everything was new but at this price I would expect at least water and drainage at the pitch. I think I would have to try elsewhere if I were to be in the area again. 


Date of Visit: October 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Lottydog 19 reviews from this member

 Arrived on a stormy night. First impression was of a nicely laid out site. The next morning we woke to lovely views over the sea and towards the islands off Dunbar. Behind the site is a cement works but do not be put off.
The toilet block were brand new and very clean, although the showers were very hot and had no temperature control. An ideal stop off site as just off the A1. Would recommend visits to North Berwick.
