Lovely stay
Yellowcraig Club Campsite
We’ve recently enjoyed a 10 night stay at Yellowcraig site.
The site is beautifully maintained, lots of open green spaces and lovely areas which are left to grow for wildlife, full of poppies, grasses and other wild flowers. They really complement the site and add to its attractiveness.
Location is great, next to a lovely dog friendly beach. The nearest village is Dirleton, there is a pub and castle. North Berwick is about 3 miles away and us a very pretty, quaint town with a high street, eating places, food shops and beach.
The only negatives I have about the site is that WiFi coverage is not site wide, it seems to stretch up to the pitches before the toilet block and even then it is a bit patchy. It’s a shame the club hasn’t invested in better WiFi facilities.
The showers are ok, quite dated and could do with replacing but they are functional.
The wardens are very friendly and helpful.
This site is popular with dog owners (we have 2), it’s an easy walk to the beach with dogs.
Overall, this is a lively site, friendly wardens, WiFi could be better, location is great and surrounding area is beautiful. Big thumbs up. 👍👍
Great site - especially good for dog owners.

There was a queue when we arrived on Friday afternoon but the wardens dealt with it well by coming to each vehicle and checking us in so we could just drive through without getting out. Very clean facilities. Loos are cleaned between 10.30 and 12 which is quite a long period of time and a bit inconvenient timing on your leaving day when you've emptied your Thetford! There were two spare loos but be prepared to queue on a busy weekend. The children's play area is focused on young children but there is a bigger more adventurous park just outside the site as you walk towards the beach. There was a couple of lads playing football on site on the Saturday night which upset their neighbours. Maybe they were non-members who didn't know any better. Some of the pitches are in cul-de-sacs which are a really lovely arrangement but there isn't much room for manoeuvring if you drive in and there are no spaces. Witnessed some great caravan reversing! Short walk to a lovely dog/child -friendly beach and you can walk into North Berwick along the John Muir Trail - about three miles each way but flat terrain. North Berwick is very dog friendly too. Dog walk on site is big and spacious and my pooch loved the doggy station provided by the wardens that included water, treats, balls and poo bags. Very well thought out. WiFi not great so had to use the hotspot near Reception. Recommend this site and will return.
Very pleasant site but WiFi needs improvement
Yellowcraig Club Campsite
Had a pleasant stay for 3 nights despite it pouring down most of the time.
Easy to reach the delightful resort of North Berwick in ten minutes by car or bike.
Staff very friendly, helpful and conscientious.
Best to take a tv aerial or satellite system because WiFi and phone reception are both poor. On wet days that does make a difference.
The club’s booking system did the site a disservice because it appeared that the site was fully booked when in fact it had plenty of vacant pitches. Check by ringing.

Great Location And Clean facilites
Yellowcraig Club Campsite
This is a great site on a great location. Walking distance to a lovely beach and walkable to North Berwick.
The site is very clean and staff helpful.
The only downside is that it is a long walk to dispose of your rubbish and recycling. There used to be bins but now they have moved them to a central location. They cite that it is to save on plastic bags but I guess it is a cost-saving measure (and the site is not cheap). From a sustainability perspective (as a sustainability consultant) the notices that have been put up are a bit of greenwash. The moving of the bins to one location results in minimal saving of plastic. Think about the number of bags that are used by customers in comparison. I would prefer the site to be honest and say it is for cost saving...
Good choice
Yellowcraig Club Campsite
Normally we use CL’s but this was the best available where we needed to be. We are so glad we chose it. Wonderful welcome from friendly wardens. The site is large (for us) so we weren’t sure what to expect. There were lots of different areas to choose from, large open grass pitches to smaller tree edged pockets of pitches.
Some pitches had open views over fields. Overalll a very quiet site when we were there (midweek) and we had a good nights sleep.
The toilet block was very good with clean, warm facilities. We personally found the noise of the fans from the toilet block quite noisy though, then again we usually use CL’s so maybe we’re just not used to it.
The bonus for us was you could stroll from the site and you were on a beautiful beach within a short time.
Easy to drive into North Berwick. We would definitely return.
