The rhythmic pulse of Scottish folk music drifts across the grounds as woodsmoke curls into the Lothian sky. Festival Glamping at the Drum occupies a unique niche in Scotland's Central Belt, where the energy of live music meets the simplicity of camping under canvas. This is a site for those who want their pitch with a side of performance, positioned within easy reach of Edinburgh and Glasgow's cultural offerings.

Standard tent, campervan and caravan pitches provide flexible accommodation for festival-goers and touring campers alike. The East Lothian landscape rolls gently around you, offering respite from the urban buzz while keeping you connected to the region's rich musical heritage and coastal attractions.

Basic facilities include toilets and showers keeping things straightforward and functional. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so arrive prepared to ask about evening flames. The vibe here leans toward the communal and creative—expect a crowd that appreciates live music, artistic atmosphere, and the kind of camping experience where neighbours become festival friends over shared songs and stories.
