Campsites with fishing near Eyemouth guide
Overview
This harbour town just north of the English border is a gateway for both land and sea adventure in the Scottish Borders. Coastal reserves and national trails offer plenty for hikers and bikers around Eyemouth, while travellers with more time can head inland for a glimpse of the lochs, uplands, and cities Scotland is known for. Seaside holiday parks and kid-friendly campsites draw families to the Berwickshire Coast, while higher inland a range of no-frills field sites and glampgrounds provide options for adventurers of all types.
Where to go
Eyemouth & the Berwickshire Coast
A convenient base for exploration of the Berwickshire Coast, you’ll find holiday parks, no-frills field sites, and glamping camps all within the vicinity of Eyemouth. From here, adventurers can follow the Berwickshire Coastal Path north to Cockburnspath or south to Berwick, stopping to explore the harbour villages, cliffs, and beaches along the way.
Northumberland National Park
Discover dark skies and dramatic landscapes just across the English border in this vast and remote national park. Whether you want to hike Hadrian’s Wall, cycle over the Otterburn Ranges, or spot red squirrels, deer, and wild goats, the park’s range of back-to-basics and family-friendly campsites will have you covered.
Edinburgh & the Pentland Hills
Ideal for adventurers after a glimpse of Scotland’s urban landscape, Edinburgh’s home hill range boasts rambling and riding trails within just 30 minutes of the capital and an hour of Eyemouth. Wild camping is possible but strictly regulated within the park itself, while several campsites and caravan parks can be found in the wider area.
Moffat Hills
This upland range is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, thanks to its climbing routes, national trails, and natural landmarks—including St. Mary’s Loch and the Grey Mare’s Tail waterfall. Around two hours’ drive from Eyemouth, you’ll need a base, and the region’s lochside retreats and caravan parks offer convenient alternatives to wild camping.
When to go
Tenters are wise to avoid the Scottish winter, especially if staying somewhere remote. Plus, summer visitors can enjoy the coastline’s high season pursuits, such as surfing, sea angling, and sunbathing. Keep an eye out for the early morning fish markets that take place in most harbour towns.
Know before you go
- Wild camping is permitted in Scotland under strict regulations, as detailed in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
- Wild camping is not allowed in England, including in Northumberland National Park.
- Walk-ins aren’t always available, so it’s worth calling ahead to check.
- Most sites hire out camping and activity gear. Otherwise, one of the larger cities nearby is the best bet for specialist supplies.
- The closest train station to Eyemouth is in Berwick-upon-Tweed, 14 kilometres away. A regular bus service connects the towns, but private transfer can be easier, especially when headed for the countryside.
