Noisy site

As commented by other reviews East fortune is a noisy site purley because the pitches are right next to a busy road. Allowing for havest time with the agricultural machjiney up and down the road it is also very busy with cars from about 6 in the morning until late eveing. This will prevent me from making a return visit. The site although fairly remote has some good attactions fairly close such as Dunbar North Berwick and the National flight museum is only a mile away which is well worth a visit. One other point to consider is the water supply is really poor so much so i decided to time it and it took over 9 minutes to fill the aquaroll. Communication is very efficient but also has a negative impact on setting the tone for your holiday / break. When filling in the questionare to submit it you have to agree to any damage caused to be deducted from the card which feels threatening. The facilities are basic so its hard to see what damage you could cause other than making mud on wet grass.

Lovely site but next to noisy road

Well run site with hard standing. In a great location for North Berwick where you can get boat trips to Bass Rock and the Isle of May. Also close to Drem railway station which has free car parking and handy for trains into Edinburgh. Payment at farm shop which is well stocked for meat and veg which is handy. Site well maintained with lovely views over fields. Water pressure is very low so filling up is slow, but hey you're on holiday so no rush. Our only issue was the road noise which they obviously can do nothing about. The pitches are next to the road which is very busy during commuter times and surprisingly noisy.

Super Relaxing Site

A well run site with with plenty of space for each caravan/motorhome. The views are good and I cannot fault anything. I was a little worried in advance, about the location, in relation to the Edinburgh - London main railway line but it was far enough away from the site and did not cause any noise problems. In fact, it was fun watching all the different coloured train coaches as they passed in the distance!! Call me sad....I'll accept it!! East Fortune is ideally placed for local towns. North Berwick, Dunbar and Haddington are all within a 10 mile radius and Edinburgh is a 25 minute train ride from the nearby local Drem Station. (Don't take your car into Edinburgh, it will be a disaster trying to park it. I say it as someone who is originally from there!!) There is a farm shop on site which is well stocked with local produce, eggs, vegetables etc., as well as other goodies. Altogether a super site. I shall be back.

Lovely well run site

Stayed here for 3 nights July 2022, Well organised arrival. Emails and updates sent before arrival. Found the site easily. Found our pitch and went to the shop to check in. Lovely views from our caravan and walked around the grounds to find the hidden cabin. Beautiful site qell maintained and lots to do and see around. It is next to a busy road but this did not bother us. Will definatley be returning.

Best CL on the network

We had 5 nights hear in early August and this is now my favourite site. The area is wonderful, beaches are superb and it is only a short drive to North Berwick which is a lovely little town on the beach with wonderful independent shops. The site itself is on a lovely farm with with the most fantastic farm shop and friendly family running it. There is a lovely walk around the farm and it’s close to the railway line, far enough away to admire the trains passing, without them being too noisy. Pitches are a decent size, with lots of room at the front for kids to run around. Views are lovely. Water pressure is low so it takes a while to full up the Aqua roll, but who cares, I’m on holiday, I’m not in a hurry. Can’t wait to return.

Great well kept site

Enjoyed our first trip here, and only 45 mins from home. Lovely warm welcome when we checked in at the great farm shop which has a really good choice of delicacies, and where we bought our BBQ food for the weekend.. Site is very well kept with large spaces between each pitch which is great as plenty of room to sit out and enjoy the view We were on Pitch 5 which had a even bigger area as was the last pitch of the row and next to the fresh water tap. There is the road behind as others have stated, and we took this into consideration when we booked as it was quite busy at times, but the views across the fields, the ducks hens and sheep in the fields around the site, and the castle in the distance was lovely. A great walkway has been laid out round the filed in front of the site, which has been sown to attract wildlife and if you take the walkway further round, over to Crow Wood you will find a lovely summer house in the woods with decking and games to sit and enjoy a picnic and the view. Garden centre within walking distance that has a café and where you get the bus to North Berwick or Haddington. Both lovely places and we went to North Berwick for the day which was great wandering round the streets, on the beach and a game of Pitch and Put. The prices of sites in and around North Berwick compared to this site is staggering, and well worth the 20 min bus journey we took. Museum of Flight is just a short distance from the sight and worth a visit. Hut on site with loads of information on what to do in and around the area. Looking forward to our next visit as well worth the money- Thank you for a great weekend.

Great second stay at this well run CL site

This was the second time for us staying at East Fortune and after two years the site is still as well run and maintained as before. Enjoyed several days at the Edinburgh Fringe during our six night stay as well as a couple of bike rides in the wonderful local countryside. I thought a video would give a much better impression of the site than any words I could write so if you'd like to get an overview of the site feel free to check here. https://youtu.be/J7m4Hi_PCwA

Gem of a site

Access from A1 a little narrow at times but take your time and you're OK. Enter through the gate which is closed at all times. Beware the deer. One ran round the perimeter of next field and out onto the main road which is a fast one! Beautiful animal who disappeared as fast as it was seen. No showers or WC but we use our on board facilities anyway. Views across to "the Law" a local landmark. Volcano shaped Hill. Road beside us a bit noisy as 60mph speed limit lanes only downside. Owners friendly and helpful. Dogs allowed and dog walks around the fields available. Tidy and well kept site. Information shed sells eggs - honesty box. TV reception great. Close to railway line but it didn't bother us at all. East Fortune aviation museum worth a visit. Dogs allowed but not inside the buildings. Vulcan bomber alone worth a view. North Berwick is great. Lunch at the County Hotel recommended. Dunbar worth sightseeing with parking on the dock. Edinburgh 20 minutes by car. Lots of golf courses if that's your thing. We stayed for 6 nights and loved it.

Great little site

Just had 3 nights on this little beauty. Great location to visit Edinburgh, and North Berwick. The CL is in beautiful condition, with the grass kept tidy, and everything in its place. Pitches well spaced out so no encroaching on other campers area. Only downside it the water pressure! I would take our 51L container to the tap at the top of the site, walk back to the van, take the toilet box to the point at the bottom of the site and empty and clean it. Take it back to the van, load it up with fluid, fill the flush resevoir, then take the grey waste to the empty point, put all the pipes back in, walk back to the water barrel, and it was still only half full!! At least i got my step count up! That said, our stay was fantastic, and the owners were great. And make sure you get some of those eggs!

Lovely location

Very well maintained site with adequate dog walk adjacent to the site lovely views from the caravan we even liked watching the trains going to and fro from north Berwick to Edinburgh The only negatives were was the traffic noise would not have believed a 'b' road could be so busy so not a site for light sleepers also the water pressure extremely poor. It is a working farm but the electric fencing protecting the very rare breed of sheep does mean you need to take great care walking round the dog walk The owners are lovely very welcoming and helpful and have even provided a lovely little summer house at the top of a wood for the use of all staying at the site We would definitely go back
