Luxury camping near Crail

·

Crail is one of a string of quaint little fishing villages that are dotted along the East Neuk coastal road south of St. Andrews. The historic fishing village features a jumble of cobbled streets and stone cottages that tumble down to the cliff-sheltered harbor. 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.

We are also within easy access to Fife and the southern area of the Highlands.

Any visitors requiring repairs or accessories for their van will find the large Perthshire Caravan dealership nearby. Every Sunday, one of Scotland’s largest car boot sales and markets is held less than a mile away.

Luxury camping 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.
