Our final stop on this trip was Tantallon Caravan Park, North Berwick. The drive wasn’t too bad at all. We followed the A1 north towards Edinburgh, then turned off for East Lothian, following signs to North Berwick. Once you’re close, Google Maps will guide you straight in, and it’s well signposted and easy to find.

We had booked a Super Pitch, number 7, which in my opinion, has the best view of the bay and Fife, which you can see across the water on a clear day. The park itself sits high on the cliff, offering stunning views of North Berwick and the famous Bass Rock, home to one of the largest colonies of gannets in the world. If you’re a bird lover, this is a must-see destination.

The park is beautifully kept with hard-standing pitches and friendly, helpful staff who make you feel right at home. There isn’t much of a shop on site, but Tesco is only a two-minute drive away, which we passed on our way in. The showers and toilets are spotless, and it’s lovely to have proper showers instead of the push-button type.

First walk / First night

After setting up on our pitch and hooking up, we decided to stretch our legs. We walked through the golf course down to the beach, staying sensibly close to the fence so we didn’t need to duck from any flying golf balls.

The beach is small but charming, with plenty of rock pools and patches of golden sand. Albi absolutely loved it, running free, nose to the ground, investigating every nook and cranny. It was the perfect way to end our day, followed by a peaceful evening watching the sunset over the bay.

A day in North Berwick

The next morning we headed into North Berwick, a quaint seaside town and former royal burgh of East Lothian. In the nineteenth century, it became a fashionable holiday resort thanks to its beautiful sandy bays, particularly Milsey Bay and the West Bay.

We wandered down the high street, lined with charming shops, antique stores, and restaurants. It’s a lovely place to browse and soak up the atmosphere. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a restaurant that was dog friendly, but we struck gold at the Scottish Seabird Centre by the bay, which does allow dogs. We enjoyed a tasty lunch there while taking in the coastal views.

Before heading back, we stopped by a local shop on the high street and picked up a couple of homemade pies. I had a traditional Scots pie, while Andy chose chicken and leek. Both were delicious.

Final thoughts of Tantallon

Tantallon Caravan Park has to be one of the most scenic sites we’ve stayed at so far. The views are breathtaking, especially if you’re lucky enough to be on a clifftop pitch. Everything about the park feels calm, tidy, and well cared for, with staff who clearly take pride in the place. The only thing missing for me was a small on-site café or takeaway, but with town and shops so close, it’s hardly a problem.

If you enjoy peaceful surroundings, clean facilities, and coastal walks, this park ticks all the boxes.

Albi’s verdict

Five stars again from our little explorer. Albi loved the open spaces, the fresh sea air, and his beach runs. He slept like a log that night, which says it all.

This marks the last adventure for this year. I hope to share more of our motorhome escapades in 2026. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about our travels around Scotland, and don’t forget to follow my blog so you don’t miss any future adventures.
