  • Friendly adults-only site with views over the Firth of Forth estuary
  • A five-minute drive from the coast and 20 minutes from St Andrews
  • On-site restaurant with homecooked food; good public transport links
Aiming to get away to the scenic East Neuk of Fife or St Andrews’ home of golf? With views over the Firth of Forth estuary, Monturpie Caravan Park might fit the bill nicely. This family-owned adults-only site is just five minutes’ drive from Scotland's east coast (including the Fife Coastal Path), with the university town of St Andrews 20 minutes’ drive to the north. A friendly atmosphere runs freely here and pitches are well spaced out to provide plenty of peace. For more homely vibes, you’ll have the option of sampling homecooked food and baked goods in the site’s small licensed restaurant (open from Wednesday to Saturday between late morning and mid-afternoon). Other facilities include a heated toilet, shower block and a launderette with disabled facilities. Public transport’s a champ here, as links from the site entrance include express coaches to Edinburgh and Glasgow or local buses to nearby walking havens. Of course, Fife is a mecca for golf fans too and this area doesn’t disappoint, as there are a couple of golf courses five minutes’ drive away. When you feel like just letting your feet take you somewhere instead, the local village is 10 minutes’ walk away. It’s home to a small food shop and a popular hotel with quality meals (yes please, steak night and Sunday roasts). Foodie spots pull through elsewhere too, as there are a number of good-quality restaurants a short drive away, including a Michelin-starred place.

What customers say

This adult-only site boasts stunning views over the Firth of Forth. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful owner, Duncan, and the clean, well-maintained facilities. Pitches are spacious and many offer excellent sea views. While some mention ongoing improvements and a "work in progress" feel, the peaceful atmosphere and convenient location for exploring the East Neuk are highly valued. The on-site restaurant and takeaway are also popular.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Loved this park, a great welcome from the owner and shown a great pitch for views, facilities immaculate, toiletries available to use if you’ve forgotten. Loved the little shop with honesty box, everything thought of, fridge, freezer food too. Homemade cakes, tablet etc. The restaurant supplied good meals, even a pick up on a Friday night different choices. It’s open Fridays and Saturday. The village is a short walk, the lower village a bit longer 25 mins, nice harbour… bus stop outside park entrance for St Andrews X58.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lots of space, not on top of one another and lots of options to pitch up. Owner very friendly. Exceptional views and so much scope to make this a first class venue.

Disliked If busy I would think showers may be an issue. There is a cabin toilet in the field which is leaking. Shame restaurant not open on a Sunday morning g, so
Looking forward to a full breakfast but it was closed.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review and glad that you enjoyed your stay with us . Showers should not be an issue as additional showers were added this year in addition to updating existing ones . At present breakfasts are available on FrI /Sat although like all aspects of running this family run site we are continually listening to our customers and as they say watch this space !
Regards Duncan

Liked Good site, all facilities easily available and well maintained.
Lovely view over the coast.

Disliked Take care on approach in Upper Largo, look out for left turn onto A915 for St Andrews, main road going straight ahead is A917, site access on this road is blocked with locked gate, difficult to turn around with caravan.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Robert ,Glad that we assisted with you missing the turn off to A915 St Andrews thanks for your positive review and looking forward to you visiting again .

Local attractions

So, St Andrews (20 minutes’ drive) has caught your eye, but where will you descend upon first? Golf games don’t get much more historic than the Old Course (20 minutes) and those of you who are fully into your golfing lifestyle might want to peep into the golf museum in the town. Perhaps Craigtoun Country Park (20 minutes) might be your cup of tea, especially for picnics, playgrounds and walking trails. And how about somewhere a little more remote? The walking trails at Lomond Hills Regional Park (35 minutes) or Loch Leven (50 minutes) are a good shout for relaxation. You’ll get to go wildlife spotting at the same time, especially since Loch Leven is a nature reserve (and many of the trails are cycle-friendly so you can cover plenty of ground). Scotland’s Secret Bunker (15 minutes) is certainly pretty underground, in the literal sense too, as this Cold War bunker has been turned into a museum. And for another historic hidey hole, you'll want to head to Kellie Castle (15 minutes) for its arts and crafts garden and exhibitions.
