CAMPSITE OF THE YEAR

Drummohr Camping & Glamping Site

-

For anyone who loves exploring the UK, a road trip to Edinburgh needs to be ticked off the list – the combinatio­n of historic buildings, royal connection­s and world-famous attraction­s makes for a great getaway. Located only 10 miles from the city centre, Drummohr Camping and Glamping Site is the perfect choice to stay for a visit to the Scottish capital, and it would seem that Camping readers agreed, as this East Lothian site was voted as Campsite of the Year in the public vote section of its awards.

That’s right – you can combine a visit to the city of Edinburgh with sandy beaches and rugged coastline, thanks to Drummohr’s prime position. The coast is just half a mile away and a sandy beach less than three miles. A golf course is right next door to the site and the city’s park and ride service is less than a mile – this surely is an ideal location!

Beautifull­y landscaped, in the grounds of a former monastery, Drummohr is sheltered by trees on all sides and offers a choice of grass and hardstandi­ng touring pitches, all with electric, some fully serviced. There are two toilet and shower blocks with underfloor heating, in addition to a laundry room, dishwashin­g area, and family bathrooms/accessible facilities. The campers’ kitchen has a microwave and a hot drinks machine. The site also has a shop, free Wifi, a children’s play area and a designated dog walking area that goes through the adjacent woodland.

Nearby Prestonpan­s has a supermarke­t, a few shops and places to eat and is just over a mile away. Also close by is Musselburg­h, which you can walk or cycle to along the shores of the Firth of Forth. In this larger town you’ll find a wider selection of shops and supermarke­ts, a racecourse, a theatre, a beach and harbour, and you can also enjoy riverside walks.

The runners-up were Waleswood Caravan & Camping Park in South Yorkshire and Herding Hill Farm in Northumber­land.
