Scotland's Most Unique Campsite

One of the most unique features of the campsite is the presence of Soul Water Sauna, located right within the campsite itself. Guests can step from their pitch straight into a traditional wood-fired sauna experience, surrounded by nature and fresh Scottish air.

Whether it’s the perfect start to a day of exploring or a relaxing way to unwind in the evening, Soul Water Sauna offers a wellness experience rarely found at a campsite.

For those seeking a thrill, Go Ape is located directly beside the campsite. Visitors can tackle high ropes courses, zip lines and treetop challenges, making it easy to add a little adventure to their stay.

It’s the perfect activity for families, groups of friends or anyone looking to experience the park from a completely different perspective.

Unlike many rural campsites, guests at Dalkeith Country Park are never far from excellent food and facilities. Restoration Yard, the park’s popular restaurant, coffee bar and lifestyle store, is just a two-minute walk from the campsite.

Whether it’s a morning coffee, a leisurely lunch, a family meal or a browse through the carefully curated shop, everything is conveniently close by.

Just five minutes from the campsite lies Fort Douglas Adventure Playground, one of Scotland’s most loved family attractions.

Complete with towers, tunnels, climbing frames, slides and flying foxes, it’s a dream destination for younger visitors and a huge reason why so many families return to Dalkeith Country Park year after year.

Adding another dimension to a camping stay is the opportunity to experience Dalkeith Palace, one of Scotland’s most significant historic buildings.

On selected dates throughout the year, visitors can enjoy guided tours, special events and cultural experiences that bring centuries of history to life. The palace provides a fascinating glimpse into Scotland’s past and offers a unique attraction that few campsites can claim to have on their doorstep.

The adventure doesn’t stop there. Dalkeith Country Park is home to an extensive network of walking trails that weave through ancient woodland, open parkland and scenic riverside routes.

Whether visitors are looking for a gentle family stroll, a morning run or an opportunity to spot local wildlife, there are countless ways to explore the park directly from the campsite.
