Dog-friendly glamping near Crail

The town lies along the Fife Coastal Path and is an ideal base whether you’re tackling the entire 116-mile long-distance walking route or just want to wander around Crail’s pretty streets. Campers have options, too, whether you prefer parking in a caravan site or staying in a glamping dome.

I loved my 4 night break in the Bramble Yurt. The yurt was clean and cosy. I did have the stove burner on due to the weather being so good. The bathroom shed was clean and fresh. The fridge was a god send considering the temperature reach a high of 27 degrees. I had a relaxing time sitting in the fresh air watching the wild life and the world go by. I would highly recommend Organic Welltree. I shall definitely go back. I wish to thanks them for my time at Kirkland.

1 night at West Highland Way Hotel & Campsite

Very friendly staff. Easy to find. Great facilities. Lovely walks right at back of premises. Only downside for me was the noise off other campers. People turning up and setting stuff up after 10 pm. Also loud group of lads. But I’m use to wild camping so maybe noise would be acceptable for most.

2 nights at Pirnie Lodge Farm

From the minute we arrived Anne was welcoming and gave us all the information to do with the lodge, the lodge itself was spotless and felt homely from the minute we walked in. Anne also left a welcome pack which was an added bonus, the hot tub was ready on arrival and Anne also shown us how to use this before leaving Anne gave us recommendations on places to visit and where we could go for days out, we were recommended the milk barn which was delicious, the ice cream and milkshakes were perfect! We would also recommend going there! Thank you Anne, we love our stays

Dog-friendly glamping near Crail guide

Where to go

Around Crail

Perched on the rocky shore, just off the Fife Coastal Path, and within a short walking distance of Crail’s restaurants, pubs and tearooms. Sauchope Links Holiday Lodge & Caravan Park offers plenty of touring pitches in addition to glamping domes and beach huts and top-notch facilities that include a heated outdoor swimming pool.

Anstruther

Four miles down the coast from Crail, Anstruther is a slightly larger fishing village that is famed for its excellent fish n’ chip shops and bustling harbor. In the spring and summer boat trips depart from here to the Isle of May, an uninhabited island where the cliffs teem with seabirds, including tens of thousands of puffins. A mile east of the harbor, Silverdyke Caravan Park has plenty of hard-standing touring pitches for those traveling by caravan/motorhome, as well as static caravans, but no tent pitches.

Around St. Andrews

Heading inland, 13 miles northwest of Crail, Drumcarro Farm is a small and quiet site in a rural setting that offers a handful of pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents. Staying here puts you conveniently in-between St. Andrews, with its lively atmosphere, top-class restaurants and golfing, and the charming fishing villages of the East Neuk.

When to go

Visiting between May and September offers the best chance of warmer, drier weather, although note that Crail gets crowded with visitors on summer weekends and during school holidays (July/August). April and May are the best times to see breeding puffins on the Isle of May and June’s Crail Food Festival is a treat.

Know before you go

Some campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
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 provisions in Crail, but will find bigger shops and more options in St. Andrews.
