Drummohr Camping & Glamping Site, located near Musselburgh on Scotland’s east coast, has been named AA Scotland Campsite of the Year 2026/27. The accolade, part of the AA’s annual Caravan and Camping Awards, recognises the UK’s finest campsites and caravan parks, and places Drummohr at the top of Scotland’s outdoor hospitality sector.
The award is the latest in a string of honours for the site, which was previously named the UK’s top campsite by Camping magazine and best in Scotland by Pitchup.com. This latest recognition underscores the site’s consistent quality and its appeal to both domestic and international travellers exploring the Edinburgh region.
Site manager Angie Purves expressed her delight at the recognition, stating: “AA Scotland Campsite of the Year is a very prestigious award in our industry, so we’re absolutely delighted to be named the best in the country.” She highlighted the site’s beautiful coastal location and the team’s dedication to creating memorable experiences for guests.
Facilities and guest experience
Drummohr offers a diverse range of accommodation options, from luxury lodges with private hot tubs to glamping pods and en-suite bothies. The family-friendly site also features themed glamping pods, a large playground, and pet-friendly facilities, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of travellers.
Open year-round, the site provides amenities that cater to modern needs, including free high-speed Wi-Fi, an electric vehicle charging point, and an on-site shop selling local produce. These features align with broader trends in outdoor hospitality, where connectivity and sustainability are increasingly important to guests.
The AA Caravan and Camping Awards 2026/27 winners were announced on 4 November during an online ceremony. Drummohr is one of three camping sites operated by WCF Ltd, with Longnor Wood and Herding Hill Farm also under its management, demonstrating the group’s commitment to high standards across its portfolio.
For travel professionals, the award highlights the growing significance of the glamping and outdoor accommodation segment within Scotland’s tourism offering. As travellers increasingly seek unique, nature-based experiences, sites like Drummohr are well positioned to capture demand from both leisure and short-break markets.
The recognition also reflects the broader strength of Scotland’s outdoor hospitality sector, which continues to attract investment and innovation. With its coastal setting and proximity to Edinburgh, Drummohr serves as a model for how campsites can differentiate themselves through quality facilities and guest-centric service.
As the travel industry evolves, awards such as these provide valuable benchmarks for operators looking to enhance their offerings. For agents and tour operators, the accolade offers a compelling selling point when promoting Scottish breaks to clients seeking high-quality outdoor stays.
