Drummohr Camping Ground

The POI is listed as being on the River Esk, but the snippets describe a campsite near the Firth of Forth outside Musselburgh — not on the River Esk. However, Musselburgh does sit at the mouth of the River Esk, so this is plausibly the same location.

The snippets do clearly describe Drummohr Camping Ground. I'll write the description based on what the snippets say.

--- Drummohr Camping and Glamping Site is a peaceful, beautifully landscaped campsite set within the walled grounds of an old monastery near Musselburgh, East Lothian, close to the shores of the Firth of Forth.

Open all year round, it holds a 5-star rating from the AA and was voted best campsite in Scotland by Pitch Up and best in the UK by readers of Camping Magazine in 2024.

The site offers grass and hard-standing touring pitches, glamping pods, bothy cabins, and luxury lodges, all with electric hook-up.

It sits just 10 miles from Edinburgh, with regular bus and train connections nearby, and lies along the John Muir Way, making it a convenient base for walkers and cyclists.

The sandy beaches, villages, and golf courses of the East Lothian coastline are all within easy reach.
