Great location to beach
We visited this site on a recommendation from another member and will be happy to do the same to others.The site is well maintained and the staff very helpful and friendly. The facilities block was kept clean and yes maybe a bit dated but cleanliness is more important and the showers were hot and large with a decent area to change in without getting your clothes wet.
Location wise it’s a 10 minute walk to a fantastic dog friendly beach which is huge and good paths for walking to local village and North Berwick which we would recommend.
Yes the Wi-Fi is poor but tv reception was good but it gave more time to relax and read books.
We will return.
Fantastic Site
Stayed for a week and loved every day. Great location and lots to do nearby - beach, castles, boat trips, museum of flight, east links park, The Law, shops and plenty of play parks. Nice clean beach with ice cream van at entrance.
Site very well maintained and kept tidy. Nice selection of herbs potted on site you can sample. While there a water pipe had burst in nearby town which caused low water pressure, not a big deal and totally out of the wardens control, they kept us informed and up to date at all times with information sheets at all service points and reception.
Welcoming and friendly staff, always a smile and a wave.
Lovely peaceful stay again
Back again this year this time with some friends as we had such a great time last year wanted them to appreciate this site also and it didn’t disappoint them so much so we have booked again for next year. We also had my in-laws come and stay for 4 nights and my grandparents (b&b in aberlady they don’t caravan) everyone had great time the beach is always a great walk and accessible for my wife who has mobility issues north Berwick is always a pleasure more for me as a visit to the lobster shack and ice cream parlour is always a must. The only criticism I have this time is we had a bit of a medical issue which was the fault of our doctors but obviously the phone reception is non existent we had look at the Wi-Fi heat map to be able to use this for WiFi calling unfortunately the upgrade for this site hasn’t worked as well as on other CAMC sites as it is very poor I know that you go away to get away from all of that but now mobiles are relied upon more than ever so this is something this site need to look into to bring it more up to date. Don’t let that put you off though if it is peace and to get away from it all mobiles included then this is the site for you

Great Location but woeful mobile signal, TV signal & especially WiFI . UPGRADE required
This site is a favourite of ours, especially when the weather is good. The Beach nearby and so dog friendly. Staff at the site are excellent. Shower and toilet facilities are immaculate as is the site in general.
NB : Wifi is exceptionally bad despite the promises over the last few years to upgrade and 5G ?? .. not even 4G, 3G or any G !!! is available but it is in next door Archerfield Estate or indeed on the nearby beach. Groups of teenagers and adults hanging around the entrance to the site in order to use the hotspot for WiFi .. not even warm.
Terrible signal and not what most people require these days. Negating the reply of getting away from it all, as I'm self employed, I need my mobile to earn a living so if I or anyone else wants to be disconnected from the Internet , then let us choose to do so.
Please YellowCraig and CAMC , get this poor reception sorted and soon !!!
A lovely site in a beautiful location
A beautiful site in a lovely peaceful location. Although it's a large site the pitches are in smaller areas which made it a peaceful site. The site is very well maintained and the facilities are exceptionally clean. There are so many walks and trails in the area that we wish we had booked for longer as there is so much to see. We walked the John Muir Way to North Berwick, which is well worth a visit. Nearby Dirleton and Gullane villages are also lovely. A lovely site and highly recommended.

Gem!
Amazing site right by sandy beach and very peaceful. Super coastal walks along golf courses/ coastline. Easy access to bus stops about 20min walk down safe road. Great bus service to Edinburgh and N Berwick. Lovely pub in village - dog friendly too. Great pitches in lots of ‘enclosures’ amongst trees/ shrubs etc. Lots birds/ deer to spot. Shower block clean and best hot showers we’ve used to date! Loads to see and do even without a car. Will def return as loved it. Staff lovely and very dog friendly. Small shop on site. Great info room.
A place we come back to year after year!
We have just returned from a 12 night stay at what is our favourite site bar non! We've been coming here since 2007 and to be honest not alot has changed it's true the shower block is dated but it is also kept clean and tidy and is functional and the phone signal and WiFi are not the best but come on folks we don't come on holiday to be on our phones and device's all the time at least we don't! Surely that's why you choose a place like Yellowcraig to enjoy the peace and tranquility or maybe I'm missing something? 🤔 The site had like many other places suffered significant rainfall and as I'd booked a grass pitch (personal preference) I was worried however about the ground, apart from it being a little softer than usual it was pretty good!
The site does benefit from the new initiative of not mowing the grass banks and little nooks and crannies they looked great with the wild flowers and grasses a real help to native flora and fauna.
The new centralised rubbish collection is in my opinion maybe not quite as good an idea as hoped? The reason for this is people are less likely to walk from the far end of the site to recycle a few cans, bottles etc instead they are more inclined to put everything in the same bag and drop it off when leaving the site thus most it ends up in landfill, in fact I even witnessed 2 people drive from their pitch put the rubbish in the bin and drive back! Now that's not helping the environment or saving the planet, so maybe a rethink on that one?
So now the thorny subject of dogs, and before anyone goes off on one I currently have 3 and have had 4 at once which have all enjoyed a holiday(s) at Yellowcraig and various sites now I don't suggest mine are perfect but what they are is quiet. I could put the pitch number in (but won't) this certain individual sat out enjoying like the rest of us the great weather we were lucky enough to have and allow his dog to bark repeatedly most afternoons not once telling it to be quiet I can only imagine that this was one of the many dogs bought during COVID and never socialised or given any training? Also why do people think it's ok to let their furry baby outside their camper, caravan and do it's business yards from where they and other people are? My dogs get walked 1st thing in a morning (off site) again during the day and last thing at night it's people like this that will ruin it for the responsible owners so please either take the time to educate yourself and more importantly your animal or leave them at home.
To finish on a positive note this is a great site run very well by Darren and Sam and their team I urge people to visit trust me once you've been you'll want to come back!!
Lovely stay
We’ve recently enjoyed a 10 night stay at Yellowcraig site.
The site is beautifully maintained, lots of open green spaces and lovely areas which are left to grow for wildlife, full of poppies, grasses and other wild flowers. They really complement the site and add to its attractiveness.
Location is great, next to a lovely dog friendly beach. The nearest village is Dirleton, there is a pub and castle. North Berwick is about 3 miles away and us a very pretty, quaint town with a high street, eating places, food shops and beach.
The only negatives I have about the site is that WiFi coverage is not site wide, it seems to stretch up to the pitches before the toilet block and even then it is a bit patchy. It’s a shame the club hasn’t invested in better WiFi facilities.
The showers are ok, quite dated and could do with replacing but they are functional.
The wardens are very friendly and helpful.
This site is popular with dog owners (we have 2), it’s an easy walk to the beach with dogs.
Overall, this is a lively site, friendly wardens, WiFi could be better, location is great and surrounding area is beautiful. Big thumbs up. 👍👍
