East Fortune Farm CL is delighted to be awarded a Regional Commendation for Scotland several times in the annual Caravan and Motorhome Club CL of the Year Awards. After being open for over 19 years we are a very popular CL and have many returning visitors.

Located only 25 miles from Edinburgh city centre and 5 miles from the popular coastal town of North Berwick with over 80 acres of working prime East Lothian farmland to walk around, our well maintained site is in a great position to pitch up.

The CL has a wide entrance area allowing you to pull off the main road before entering the site. The 5 well spaced hard standing pitches all face to the North with views across the countryside. The CL offers drinking water facilities at the top of the site with chemical, grey water disposal areas, bins and recycling all at the bottom next to the information hut which hosts local tourist information.

The site is securely fenced and there is plenty space for all our guests to enjoy the site. There is free WIFI for those who like to stay in touch and the nearest bus stop, found outside Merryhatton Garden Centre is just a ten minute walk from the site. Please note the main road outside the site although in the country is very busy at times and fast so care and attention is needed while walking to the bus stop. The nearest train station is 2 miles west of the CL site at Drem (only 26 mins into Edinburgh) and for train lovers the main London line runs parallel with the farm boundary so often old steam trains can be seen passing.

We have a small farm shop open 7 days selling East Fortune home-reared lamb, pork and free range hen eggs along with other local produce such as Dunbar Community Bakery sourdough breads, rolls, scones, Jarvis Pickle award winning pies, homemade jams and chutneys, Mellis from Edinburgh cheeses, milk, vegetables and lots more.

Dogs are very welcome at no extra charge and we have walkways around the farm for you and the family to enjoy with them.

East Lothian boasts a magnificent coastline of beaches, golf courses, enchanting villages, museums, galleries and historic attractions. From North Berwick harbour you can take a boat trip to the Bass Rock, seeing the puffins and seals en route or visit the award winning Scottish Sea Bird Centre. The National Museum of Flight is only a mile from East Fortune Farm and makes a great day out for the family. Walking down the Royal Mile from Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace you can't help but feel the ambience of long ago. During August the famous Edinburgh Festival comes to town - music, art and drama are everywhere for the month and the city just buzzes.

Advanced booking is recommended during peak seasons. Pitch prices are for 2 people per pitch include connection to 16 amp electrical hook-up. Extra guests are charged at £1 per person per night over the age of six. There are no extra costs for awnings.

If a change in dates is needed pre-paid deposits can be transferable to other bookings but only within the same year. Once on site and pitch fees paid no refunds are given.

Please note own sanitation is required as there are no toilet blocks or showers on the farm currently. Laundry facilities are available on Station Park our other small private touring site.

The Brand Family look forward to welcoming you to East Fortune Farm.

Looking a little tired.

This site has won awards but I think its star has dimmed a bit since those days; maybe the owner's enthusiasm is not what it was. The site layout, with hardstanding for all users, is good. The views are pleasant rather than stunning and it is in a good position... Show more

Pleasant stay, but.....

....as mentioned in previous reviews, there is a very busy and noisy road during the day directly behind the pitches. The owners make it clear in their information, so it was not a surprise. However, it was quiet at night and we slept well. Very nice views... Show more
