The salt-laced breeze off the Firth of Forth reaches you before you've even levelled your van, and on clear mornings the Bass Rock rises from the sea like a white thumbprint on the horizon.

This is a caravanner and motorhome site on the East Lothian coast, ideal for couples and families who want beach walks on their doorstep and Edinburgh within striking distance for day trips. The pitch-up suits those who appreciate a well-kept Club Site atmosphere without the bells and whistles — it's about the setting here, not elaborate facilities. Dog walkers will love the direct access to Yellowcraig Beach, a vast sweep of sand backed by pines where leads can come off and paws can run.

Onsite you've got wifi and the usual Club Site standards, though it's worth asking about the dog policy when you book and checking the campfire situation on arrival. The vibe is relaxed and coastal rather than bustling — people come for the seabirds, the rock pools at low tide, and that particular East Lothian light that turns everything gold by six o'clock. Bring provisions from North Berwick; you're here for the shore, not the shop.

John Muir Way (North Berwick to Dunbar)

Follows the rugged East Lothian coastline between two historic harbours, combining clifftop paths with sandy bays and rocky shoreline. Mostly flat to gentle terrain with a few short climbs near headlands, suitable for families with older children but not buggies due to uneven coastal paths and stiles. Dogs welcome on leads near seabird colonies and beaches. Outstanding views across the Firth of Forth to Bass Rock and May Island, plus Tantallon Castle ruins make excellent rest stops on this supre
