Excellent location for a duke of Edinburgh camp.
It was great that we had a separate space for teachers and honestly we couldn't complain!
Highly recommend.

Magical, wild forest camping with so much to delight young children and adults alike.
This was our first time back with kids after having stayed here as a couple once over 8 years ago.
Great fire pit with seating, Hobbit-like mystical mud hut, trees for climbing, pond dipping, forest bathing, and a kind and helpful owner in Steven.
Kids loved the adventure of transporting kit by wheelbarrow for set up, and we availed of the option of Steven's buggy transport for returning kit to car.
Highly recommend!

We absolutely love Blinkbonny Wood, it is so peaceful and idyllic, set in the East Lothian countryside next to the Lammermuir Hills and within reach of two beautiful resevoirs (Hopes and Whiteadder).
On arrival we were greeted by owner, Steven, who showed us to our pitch which was a ten minute walk through the woods but we were able to borrow wheelbarrows to cart our tents along to the pitch.
Although there were a couple of other families staying that weekend we really felt we had the place to ourselves as the pitches are all set up separately around the woods with lots of privacy.
The compost loo is one of the cleanest I have ever come across and next to it there is a tank with rain water for washing hands.
Wood can be bought for a small price and each site has it's own fire pit and seats so the whole camping experience is really comfortable but still rustic.
Around the grounds are lovely carvings and little huts so it really is well set up for families and lots for children to do and see.
I would recommend this camping site to anyone who likes peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings.

Beautiful peaceful surroundings.
Great to be able to park up and walk into the woods to pitch tent.
Although other people were camping there you wouldn't know as pitches are all spread out.
Absolutely fantastic location and very well kept.
Great communication from the couple who oversee the woods.

Visited with my wife and 1 & 4 year olds late September. This was a bit ambitious as it was a bit late in the year and our first time camping as a family.
We had a fantastic time, as the campsite is so secluded and pitches are all quite far apart you really do feel like you are out there on your own.
The facilities are essentially just a carpark, composting toilet and water in large bottles for washing hands and dishes.
I think we stayed in one of the farthest pitches from the carpark, but the walk was still less than 10 minutes, and wheelbarrows are provided which makes such a big difference to lugging heavy items. The pitch itself was huge, with low bench seating around a large fire pit and a picnic table and benches off to the side.
Large bags of firewood are only £3 (have change with you to put in the honesty box) which was nice as you weren't having to worry about conserving wood too much.
The price per night for a pitch was also extremely reasonable.
We are looking forward to returning again :)

A truly back to nature experience.
We loved our stay at Blinkbonny Wood.
A Wood that is still a place where the animals and nature seem undisturbed by us humans.
Thank you for making us feel so welcomed, Steven and Sally.
My favourite part was the best stary sky I have ever seen. Magic!

Lovely pitch with a nice firepit and excellent choice of where to pitch tents.
The clearing was not too far away from the toilet which was good.
The woods and surrounding area is lovely and has opportunity for great walks!
Hugely enjoyed my stay!

Fantastic place for a Bronze DofE expedition! Just wild enough!
Fire pits, compost toilet, fresh eggs for sale and all in a secluded location less than 45 mins drive from central Edinburgh.

This is a lovely, secluded site.
My grandchildren enjoyed exploring and not having to shower and I enjoyed the stars and the peacefulness.
We all loved the wildlife and the campfires. Facilities are very rustic, but that's what we expected.
We would go again.
