Weekend Trip to Fernlea - Campsite & Pod

Staying at Bruce’s house was an absolute pleasure! He was so incredibly helpful and kind and the pod is perfect. I would live there for the rest of my life if I could! The kitchen is great. The hot tub is beyond belief and so good that it’s almost intoxicating. When my boyfriend and I accidentally reset the Internet, Bruce was beyond kind and helpful. Next time I’m in this area I will for sure Be staying here again.

2 nights at Bamburgh Under Canvas

Beautiful quiet site. The tent felt entirely private/separate from the few others on the site. Well equipped and comfortable. Perfectly located for exploring the North East coast. Campbell was really helpful and made our stay great. Couldn't recommend more!

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

Glamping with hot tubs near St. Andrews guide

Where to go

Craigtoun

Just 1.5 miles from St Andrews, Craigtoun Country Park is a traditional favorite family destination. Visitors can walk the trains, row a boat on the lake, explore the Fairy Glen and play in the adventure playground. A few minutes’ drive from the park, Craigtoun Meadows Holiday Park is situated in woodland and has plenty of hardstanding touring pitches, as well as a handful of grass tent pitches, glamping lodges and static caravans for hire. Just a few minutes farther from Craigtoun Country Park, Cairnsmill Caravan Park has space for tourers and tent pitches, as well as static caravans.

Strathkinness

Located in a rural setting, the small village of Strathkinness is a 10-minute drive west of St. Andrews. Here you’ll find Nydie Caravan and Camping, a peaceful family-run site with spacious tent, caravan and motorhome grass pitches dotted around in large fields, as well as a selection of glamping cabins.

Anstruther

The small town of Anstruther is one of the gems of the East Neuk. The bustling fishing port lies along the Fife Coastal Path and departure point for boat trips to the Isle of May puffin colony, just offshore. Silverdyke Caravan Park offers sea views and easy access to Anstruther’s attractions. The park has plenty of hard-standing pitches for caravans, campers and motorhomes, as well as static caravans for hire, but no tent pitches.

When to go

For your best chance of good weather and long daylight hours, visiting from May through September is recommended. July and August can get quite crowded in St. Andrews, due to the large number of visitors taking advantage of school holidays. For a quieter experience, April and May are good months: the weather is warming up, the days getting longer and you can see puffins on the Isle of May. Winter is typically cold, wet and dark (the sun sets between 3:30 and 4 p.m. in December).

Know before you go

Some private campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
The weather in Scotland is changeable, even in summer. Come prepared with warm, waterproof clothing.
If you choose to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
The closest train station is in Leuchars, five miles north. Regular buses depart the station for St. Andrews.
It’s possible to explore the coast by bus. If planning to make several journeys in one day, buy a DayRider ticket for unlimited rides.
