  • Among spectacular scenery a short stroll from the beach at Crail
  • A 20-minute drive from St Andrews and 45 from Fife
  • Heated outdoor pool and indoor play area
Golfers, boaters, beach fans, families, couples and heritage hunters: you'll surely approve of Sauchope Links Park in Scotland's Fife. On the eastern tip of Fife, this is a place positioned to soak up sun, with spectacular Scottish views, and within walking distance of the historic town of Crail. It's a short drive from famed St Andrews and has outdoor pursuits aplenty to pursue in the surrounding area. And those beaches? The local sands at Crail are only a few minutes' walk away. Amenities are kept spotless to ensure guests have as comfy and relaxed a time as poss; you'll find pursuits on site too, such as a heated outdoor pool and an indoor play area for the kids with pool and a football table. You won't have to leave the park if you need emergency bits and bobs, as the site shop stocks basic essentials. But if you do want to stockpile stuff to be sure, local supermarkets are 10 minutes' walk away at Crail along a most scenic coastal path.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely campsite next to the seaside with lovely coastal walks.
Clean toilets and shower block which were warm and well stocked.
I came in March so the site was quiet

Disliked I can’t think of anything I disliked about it. There is a public footpath running through the site but I enjoyed watching the people walking passed.

Hideout camping pod (firepit, hot tub, no pets)

Liked The pod had everything we needed, well equipped, fantastic view, nice seating area on decking and very clean. Excellent location for walking and only short walking distance from the village too x

Disliked The hot tub was stove dependant so took about 2 hours to heat up so we used all our firepit wood!
