Choose from lodges, glamping pods or a static home. All accommodation is dog-friendly.
Communal kitchen, showers and laundry, book exchange, a play area, and 15 acres to walk the dog or just enjoy a stroll.
In every kind of stay, not just a designated one. There is an extra charge, and we just ask you to tell us when you book.
15 minutes downhill to West Beach and the High Street. North Berwick station is just 30 minutes from Edinburgh.
The beaches, harbour and the High Street are just 15 minutes downhill on foot.
The high street offers a wide range of shopping, cafes, and restaurants.
From the shore you look straight out to the Bass Rock, home to the world’s largest northern gannet colony, with Craigleith and Fidra further along the coast.
Tantallon Castle, the Scottish Seabird Centre and more than twenty golf courses are a short drive away.
The John Muir Way runs right through the town.
Dr Robert Macnair opened Gilsland because he believed the sea air would do people good.
Nearly a century later, the park remains in the same family, with Adam McNair at the helm. It is still surrounded by mature trees and open grass with spacious areas to relax enjoying views of the Law to the back and the sea to the front and is just 15 minutes down the hill into North Berwick.
Some guests who first came here as children now return with their own grandchildren. That continuity, across both our family and theirs, is the part we are proudest of.

Stayed in 3 bedroom van with daughter son in law and 2 grandsons (age 17 & 18). They kindly let us have the en-suite bedroom with king size bed and a wardrobe/ dressing area. The 2 other bedrooms were quite tight and other than my daughter the others are all over 6 foot. We booked because they weren’t bunk beds as they are all too big for those now. There are only 4 seats for the dining table although the van can sleep 8 and there are 2 sofas which can seat 6 adults at a squeeze. The van itself was lovely and the park was quiet, well kept and walking distance to town centre in about 25 minutes depending on your speed. Nice veranda to sit out and eat on if you got good warm weather. Just a hedge in front of the van so no views really. Sorry forget to take any pictures 🤷🏼♀️Posted on Google![]()

Visited Gilsland many moons ago (probably 20 years or so ago) and its very different now, but in the best way. Stayed a week in a Silver package caravan with my family and it was very spacious, clean and a perfect fit for us. All bedding and towels were provided. Site has a good laundry facility and a TV and pool room. Not noisy at all either. Also, can someone tell me if the site used to be on the other side of the road?? My Dad swore it used to be where the housing estate is now! It drove him crazy all week 😂 Overall, a great park and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
