Dog-friendly camping near Anstruther

·

Steeped in maritime history, the small Fife town of Anstruther remains a thriving port. Colourful stone cottages line the sea front, facing the harbor where a jumble of fishing boats bob in the water. The town lies along the Fife Coastal Path, making it an appealing stop whether you’re tackling the entire 116-mile long-distance walking route or just a few sections. The fish and chips here are legendary so be sure to visit one of the seafront chippies. The fascinating Scottish Fisheries Museum also deserves your time, as does a boat trip to the Isle of May puffin colony, just offshore.

Where to go

Around the Town

One mile east of the harbor, Silverdyke Caravan Park is ideally situated for making the most of Anstruther’s charms and waking up to sea views. The park has plenty of hard-standing touring pitches for those with their own wheels (but no tent pitches). 

Crail

With its stone-built harbor and winding streets, Crail is another don’t-miss spot in the East Neuk, five miles northeast of Anstruther. Perched on the craggy shoreline, with views of the Isle of May, Sauchope Links Holiday Lodge & Caravan Park has a wide selection of accommodations on offer, with a selection of touring pitches in addition to glamping domes and beach huts.

Elie

At the southwestern end of the East Neuk, Elie is a popular seaside resort town known for its sandy beaches and golf course. Tucked behind the beach’s sand dunes, Elie Holiday Park at Shell Bay offers tent pitches, as well as touring pitches suitable for caravans, campervans, motorhomes and trailer tents. 

When to go

With optimum weather and long daylight hours, the area is busiest from May through September, with the summer school holidays (July/August) being the busiest. September promises cooler temperatures but fewer crowds, while April and May are the best times to see puffins on the Isle of May.

Know before you go

  • Many parks in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
  • If you choose to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. 
  • A convenient bus service connects the towns along the coast. If planning to make several journeys in one day, buy a DayRider ticket for unlimited rides.
  • You can find basic supplies in Anstruther, but will find bigger shops in St. Andrews, 10 miles north
