What customers say
This is a beautiful and peaceful seaside and forest location, with lovely walks to the beach and town. Guests praise the clean pods, friendly staff, and special features like the walled garden and cafe. While generally well-maintained, some guests experienced issues with toilet and shower cleanliness due to staffing problems, which management has addressed. Building work on a flax mill may cause temporary disruption.

Interesting and special place!
Electric grass and gravel campervan pitch
Liked The location is beautiful, the park, the beach and access to town all fantastic. Staff very kind, washrooms kept clean.
Disliked Not really a dislike but it would be good to have a wash block nearer the vans and to suggest that people leave outdoor shoes at entrance to keep showers clean.
The ethos of the park is great and we were pleased to support the community development even though workmen arriving at 7 am was a bit disruptive.

A gem with a picturesque location that ticks almost all the boxes.
Anonymous Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Wonderful team. Very responsive and friendly. Beautiful, peaceful seaside and forested location. The birdsong is pure zen! The Cottage Window and the Walled garden are highlights too. Tge scones are he’s only! Overall, many more positives versus the (very) few niggles, and somewhere I look forward to returning.
Disliked Need a bigger communal fire pit or more of them if the campsite is full up. It was not feasible for everyone to cook like that. Maybe a few more mobile bbq tables, strategically placed near the fire hydrant for more space. Loo paper was scarce. Noisy big group kept usu up way past quiet hours and this doesn’t seem to be possible to report or monitored by cam manager.

Nice site and facilities - would benefit from a quiet time curfew
Anonymous Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely site with sea view, walled garden and cafe window. Once bike hire up and running will be great for trips along the coastal path.
Disliked Tent pitches all alongside each other, doesn’t give you much space. Noisy - kids running around the tents till gone 11pm

From the manager: Hi June, thank you so much for the lovely review. We're glad you loved your stay with us and look forward to welcoming you back soon :)
Great location, lots of space, but that building site is a downside
Electric grass and gravel campervan pitch
Liked Small site with only 4 pitches for small campervans with plenty of space. There's a separate grass area for tents along with a few pods. Really beautiful walled garden just next to the site.
Disliked The toilets & showers are on the tent field which is separated from the campervan area by a building site for the renovation of the flax mill. On our 3 night stay the toilets & showers weren't attended to on the first 2 days - luckily there weren't many people on site so they weren't too bad. The building works are substantial and look like they are going to go on for some months.

From the manager: Hi Ian, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it's much appreciated. My sincerest apologies about the toilets & showers, unfortunately we had some staffing issues due to illness. We have since had an internal review and have taken actions to make sure a situaton like that doesn't occur again.
Wont be back

Liked Nice view
Disliked Dirty toilet and shower facilities which weren’t cleaned whilst we were there. We have learnt several new words since the builders arrived on the building site next to us at 6.30am each morning!

From the manager: Hi Linda. I'd like to apologise once more about the the cleanlieness of the campsite showers and toilets. As we discussed in person, I was also very unhappy about that. It turns out we had staff issues in my absense, the member of staff who should have been looking after the campsite had to work in the cafe instead. We have had a meeting and altered staffing rotas so this won't be an issue again. I've emailed you directly too.
Excellent site, stayed for 1 night…
Electric grass and gravel campervan pitch
Liked Excellent site, stayed for 1 night with campervan, they send you an email with a very handy campsite guide (including excellent info for eateries, etc close by) to read beforehand, showers are hot and powerful and easy to use, 15 min walk to Leven, either across the golf course and on to the Fife Coastal Path or via a path from campsite that takes you into the town via Scoonie Golf Club. Didn't get a chance to use their Cottage Window Cafe, looked excellent and plenty people using it. Lovely walled garden to sit in and walk through. There were plenty of tent users on the evening I was there with families enjoying the facilities, pit fires, etc. The campsite is run as a not for profit venture helping people into sustainable employment and good luck with your flax mill project.
