The wind carries the salt tang of the North Sea across the dunes, and Belhaven Bay's long arc of sand stretches out just beyond the pitch — you'll hear the waves from your van door on a wild evening.
This is a straightforward caravan and campervan site on the East Lothian coast, well-placed for couples and families who want to walk the beach at first light or watch the kiteboarders out on the bay. You're in proper Scottish coastal country here — Dunbar's not far, the Bass Rock sits offshore, and the John Muir Way passes close by. Best to ask about bringing the dog before you book, and check the campfire rules when you arrive if you're planning an evening by the fire.
Facilities aren't listed in detail, so it's worth ringing ahead to see what's onsite — this feels like the kind of no-frills pitch where the location does the talking. Expect a quiet, coastal vibe with the beach as the main event, the sort of place you come to breathe sea air and shake off the week.
