As always a great site and kept spotless an excellent place to spend a few days or longer, ideally situated for beaches North Berwick and Edinburgh. The site could really do with WiFi ad there is very poor mobile coverage. The only fault which is down to parents rather than the wardens is that we had countless children running straight out in front of cars or on bikes without looking to see if there were any cars, fortunately due to low speed of vehicles, they are able to stop in time however it is an accident waiting to happen, maybe if there were notices alerting parents about making sure children don’t just run across the road without looking.

Fabulous site in amazing location

We absolutely love this site, it is 10 mins walk to the beach and about 3 mile to North Berwick town. Great for dog walks and cycling. North Berwick is great for cafes, pubs, restaurants and supermarkets. There are some negatives, although we have 2 dogs ourselves, and this site Is very popular with dog lovers, some dogs bark incessantly. On our last visit I was very disappointed to witness some non paying visitors parked in the public car park at the site entrance who brazenly walked Into the site to the shower block, a family of 4 complete with towels and toilet bags! The site also has washing machines which was great for is as we were there for 2 weeks. I mistakenly thought these were provided for holiday makers , however the wardens used them to wash their mop heads and cloths which had been used to clean the toilet blocks! This resulted in our washing being covered in white fibres, this is clearly NOT very hygenic! This practice really needs to stop and I hope the wardens read this review. Overall though I will definitely visit again, but will not be using the washing machines...

Excellent relaxing site

Just home from out first camping trip and 2 night stay in Yellowcraig. Excellent, quiet, relaxing site. Very welcoming staff at check in with the facilities very clean and well maintained. Perfect location for beach and woodland walks and an easy walk to Dirilton where The Castle Inn served excellent food. An hour beach walk to North Berwick where the wonderful selection of small shops and cafes made it well worth it. The harbour area is a must see. Wifi not reliable and phone coverage patchy that said will definitely book again.

Great location, lovely beach nearby

A nice clean site with good facilities, friendly and helpful staff. However, there are few hard standings so book early if you need one. No WiFi at the time of our stay although there is a hotspot by reception. Our phone coverage (EE) was ok most of the time. The site shop is pretty much non-existant, no perishable goods for sale so come prepared. The nearest shop is a petrol station about one mile away, otherwise it's a trip to North Berwick. All that said, it's well worth a visit, especially if you like spending time on a sandy beach, walking (the local pubs are really nice, with good food), want to visit the sea bird centre in NB or spend a day in Edinburgh (about 30mins by train).

Fab site

Second time visiting this site last weekend. Highly recommend Very friendly, helpful staff Spotlessly clean Dog friendly So many different settings of pitches to choose from and all well spaced out and in various areas. Beside beautiful beach and woodland walks Close to the Castle Inn in Dirleton for food/drink. Nice walk into north Berwick with all its independent shops and lots of food options. Good spaces/play park for kids and good golf courses around. Also kids play area in woodland nearby. We will be back again! One downside common for club sites is not having the option to book a particular pitch in advance. But there are lots of nice ones. If you wish a particular area turn up sharp! Another downside (and can be a big one for most) is no mobile phone signal on site. Short walk out will get you some signal. Also only Wi-Fi is a hotspot near reception - again an issue for some.

Great site, great location, very well run.

Great site in an excellent location. Yellowcraig is well laid out and the wardens do a tremendous job of keeping it clean and tidy. Check in is straight forward. Arrival and leave times are made absolutely clear on booking and prior to arrival. The facilities are spotless. This is our second visit to Yellowcraig, once in a busy August and very recently when there were fewer units on site. I can’t criticise the site, the wardens or the facilities on either occasion and will definitely return. My only criticism (and this applies to other club sites) is not being able to choose pitches, which is a pain. If you book far enough ahead, I’d be more than willing to pay upfront to choose a pitch. Or even be able to reserve a pitch on arrival for family or friends that are turning up within the next hour or so. I don’t understand why this isn’t manageable especially in the quieter months. It seems to be a ‘rules is rules’ policy rather than common sense. Perhaps one for the club to consider reviewing.

Great site but apparently not for everyone

Arrival is about the only time you’ll see the wardens unless you go hunting for them and even arrival is quite “basic” with no real customer care being offered. Don’t expect to hear there is a great pitch here that will suit your unit - its more like try this area and this area. I personally think this could be improved upon massively. The site is very clean and tidy with fantastic access to the beach and local villages & pubs. Don’t go to yellow Craig’s if you are waiting on an important phone call or email to come as the service here is practically zero. All that bad news also comes with no real TV service either so even with your own router you’re not really going to be watching much Tv. This can surely be made better by the CAMHC for the high prices you pay at Yellow Craig’s. Toilets are dated but very clean and hot powerful showers! Good food close by in Direlton Castle Arms and also in N. Berwick. Yea there are plenty dogs at this site but the dog walking area is superb and very clean / well maintained. Nothing much to moan about at this site but a lot of the reviewers seem to have managed it for some reason. This site is a definite if you have a dog and / or love the beach.

Love Yellowcraig

We have been visiting Yellowcraig campsite for many years as a couple, with grandchildren and with our dog. The location is perfect, beach, villages, lovely walks, near to North Berwick. The wardens on site are great, friendly and they keep the site clean and tidy, recent years there have been lovely floral displays so lots of effort is being put in by the wardens. My only criticism is that for a busy and popular site that is always packed over the summer the club have made no investment in updating the facilities in the years we have been regular visitors. Many other guests have also commented that the toilet block is very tired and dated. Last year we visited a commercial site in North Berwick which was slightly cheaper and the facilities were much superior, we have to think hard whether there we return and I know others have said the same. It’s such a pity..

Lovely peaceful location

We loved this site for the following reasons: proximity to a beautiful beach; generous space allocated to each caravan or campervan; peaceful location; excellent washing up area; spacious shower blocks; hot water; pretty pollinator-friendly planting around the site. Yellowcraig has a fun, friendly vibe and it was a pleasure to stay there. Some reviewers are described the toilet blocks as 'tired' but that seems a little unfair - yes, the tiling scheme is a little dated, but the facilities are spotlessly clean and very well- maintained. We stayed there out of season, so there was no shortage of pitches to choose from. But I can imagine the lack of allocated pitches would be very frustrating in high season.
