Glamping near Dunbar guide

Overview

On the North Sea coast, 30 miles (48 kilometers) east of Edinburgh, the town of Dunbar is best-known as the birthplace of naturalist and conservationist John Muir. For this reason, it’s the starting point for the John Muir Way, a coast-to-coast walking and cycling route, which runs 134 miles (216 kilometers) to Helensburgh. The town is also known for its sunny weather and also home to John Muir Country Park, set on a beautiful stretch of coastline and home to a variety of birdlife and 400 plant species. Campers can take their pick from pitching a tent by a beach to parking in a well-equipped caravan park.

Where to go

Belhaven Bay

SItuated with John Muir Country Park, Belhaven Bay is a long stretch of beach backed by sand dunes and grasslands that promises the ideal setting for coastal walks and surfing. Belhaven Bay campsite has a range of electric and non-electric touring and camping pitches, as well as a selection of cozy glamping pods and holiday homes for hire.

Whitesands Bay

Around two miles (3.2 kilometers) east along the coast from Dunbar, Whitesands is an attractive and secluded beach that is suitable for swimming and surfing. Within walking distance of the beach, the peaceful Dunbar Camping and Caravanning Club Site has plenty of hardstanding and grass options.

Innerwick

Around five miles (eight kilometers) inland from Dunbar, the small village of Innerwick lies at the foot of the Lammermuir Hills, providing an attractive base for hillwalking and mountain biking. Thurston Manor Leisure Park has electric grass and hardstanding pitches, as well as a host of great facilities, including a gym, sauna and pool.

When to go

Dunbar is known for its high sunshine record and spending a sunny day along its stretch of coast can be glorious. For spending long days outdoors soaking up the sunshine, and enjoying water sports from wild swimming to surfing, visiting between May and August is your best bet. This is also the busiest tourist, however. September is a good alternative as the biggest crowds will have gone but the weather should still be warm.

Know before you go

If choosing to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
Dunbar is just 20 minutes by train from Edinburgh. Local buses can get you around the area but having your own vehicle offers more flexibility.
You can stock up on groceries at Dunbar’s large Asda supermarket, which is within walking distance of the town center.
