Where can I find camping options near Edinburgh?

A 15-minute drive northwest of the city centre takes you to the shores of the Firth of Forth, where you can find plenty of pitches for motorhomes and caravans, as well as a few tent pitches. Heading east of Edinburgh’s city centre, a string of lovely beaches line the coast, from the popular Portobello and Musselburgh to the less-visited Gullane. Just south of the city, the sprawling Pentland Hills Regional Park offers a taste of the great outdoors on Edinburgh’s doorstep. Some private area campsites are seasonal, so check opening dates before travelling. You can also explore different options for camping near Edinburgh on Hipcamp.
