Dogs welcome
Near beach

Larick Campsite is run by Tayport Community Enterprises and shares its patch with the Larick Centre, a community and sports hall with a cafe about twenty yards away. It sits on the Tay estuary at the edge of Tayport common, opposite a children's play area, with Tentsmuir Forest and a long sandy beach a short walk away.

There are 32 pitches: 16 powered around the edge, 11 unpowered in the middle and two for backpackers without a vehicle. Tents, caravans, motorhomes and campervans are all welcome. The facilities block has toilets and showers, a family bathroom, an accessible bathroom, a kitchen area with a microwave, and laundry.

The Fife Coastal Path and the Coast and Castles cycle route pass the gate, and Dundee is four miles away across the Tay. Prices are not published online, so ask or check the booking page.
