The smell of fresh-cut grass mingles with salt air as gulls wheel overhead and the distant murmur of the North Sea reaches you across the Angus clifftops.

Drummohr suits campers after a no-fuss base for exploring Scotland's east coast — tent pitchers who want electric hookup if needed, campervanners touring between the Cairngorms and coastal fishing villages, couples escaping for a long weekend of cliff walks and seafood suppers. The site welcomes dogs by arrangement, so worth checking ahead if you're bringing your four-legged walking companion. This is proper Scottish camping country: Arbroath smokies, red sandstone cliffs, and hills that roll down to working harbours.

Onsite you'll find the essentials — hot showers, clean toilets, and electric points for those who want them — plus the option to light a campfire if conditions allow, though you'll need to ask on arrival. It's a straightforward, honest sort of place: nothing fancy, just good pitches and the kind of quiet that lets you hear the weather coming in off the water.
