Ideal location
Starney Bay Caravan Site
Really nice CL with views over the fields. Ideally located to walk into St Abbs and along the coastal paths. All pitches have their own EHU, grey waste drain and fresh water tap. Shame some people still let the grey waste run out onto their pitch…..One downside especially in holiday season is that we had several foreign tourer owners walking into the site and coming to ask if they could camp there and if not, where could they go. This happened on both days of our visit which did disturb the peaceful feel of the site. A combination lock on the gate would help.

Starney Bay Caravan Site
Lovely small site within walking distance of St Abbs. Bus available to Eyemouth. Dramatic coastal walks in both directions with amazing views and plenty of bird watching.
The pitches are rather uneven so leveling blocks are required, but each has drainage, water and EHU. There is a large entry gate but this has no security at all ( a combination lock would suffice) The pitches are good sized but made of fine black grit which is taken easily into the van. We overcame this problem to a degree by placing a large ground sheet on the hardstanding.

Clean and good location.
Starney Bay Caravan Site
I contacted Ali on a v windy day looking for a sheltered place to spend the night. Ali was so helpful and came to check i was settled in ok and recommended the sheltered spot on the site-and it was! It was over the far side next to the hedge and it did not feel overlooked. I was here in January so it was a busy as the height of summer. By dusk the passers by had stopped which left it quiet, It’s a beautiful spot and I agree with other comments it does feel quite open and overlooked. However if you are looking for a clean and and spacious site to make as your base whilst you spend time exploring this is an ideal spot. I saw seals in 10 mins walk from my van down on the beach. Nature conservation is a top priority as the beach is cordoned off to give the seals the space they need. StAbbs has cafes, PO with cash machine-check local opening times, rib boat tours and a museum. And it’s a old fishing village with masses of history about it all. Coldingham is v close with more amenities-a well stocked spar but cash machine that charges withdrawals, pubs etc…. From the campsite you can head north up the coastline or south down to Eyemouth right from your van door. I will be back to make it a base for one or two nights and spend my time walking during the day and a quiet place to chill in the evening. In the summer time on a clear evening the cliffs would be a beautiful walk.

Good and not so good
Starney Bay Caravan Site
On the good side Starney Bay is in a beautiful area. The five pitches are well spaced out and all are serviced. On the down side the hard-standing surface is awful. It’s some kind of black fine grit that gets everywhere and is even worse when wet. There are no showers or toilets and although pre-warned about this the cost of the site is £25 a night, which is quite steep given that other sites with showers etc charge less. The electricity is really hard to turn on and we had to seek help from the people on the next pitch who said they’d also found this difficult. It rained while we were there which knocked the electric off completely, however this was caused by an act of nature.
Lovely site, but the black grit and steep price has put us off from returning.

Great touring stop
Starney Bay Caravan Site
Had a few nights at this CL we already knew the area and booked up as we wanted some walking and it’s just the best for blowing away the winter cobwebs, cliff top walks and time spent at the nearby beaches, winter time is one of the vest times to experience this rugged coast line.
Site is tidy and all pitches have a tap and drain, are level on a terraced site. Pitches are perhaps more suited to motorhomes as not particularly large and a caravan, car and awning would be a tight fit. Very quiet and peaceful nights sleep. The nearby craft shop and cafe are only open seasonally, shop was open weekends in Jan/Feb but not sure when the cafe was due to open. The cafe in St Abbs village is lovely and just a short walk down to the harbour.
The site owners are friendly and welcoming, often busy with farming jobs.
Only negative really is the black gritty surface used for the hard standings, it’s easily trailed inside and not the best in my opinion but that wouldn’t put me off it’s just a small issue.
