  • Adults-only park with spectacular views over the Firth of Forth
  • Largo Law walks directly from the park; St Andrews a 20-minute drive
  • Fife Coastal Path and the East Neuk fishing villages under 15 minutes
Fancy a foray to Fife? Then find yourself at adults-only Forth House Caravan Site with views over the Firth of Forth. This small and scenic spot in a raised valley also looks out over sweeping farmland – see pics – with strolls to set off on nearby via a network of footpaths and country roads. The Largo Law ancient volcano towering above the fields is 20 minutes’ walk to the west, while the Fife Coastal Path passing through the characterful fishing villages of the East Neuk area is under a 15-minute car ride away. If you’ll mostly be driving or taking the bus around the region (a stop’s within walking distance of the park), sights are simple to get to from the main Upper Largo to St Andrews A915 road a few hundred metres away, yet there’s no noise from traffic to be heard from the grounds. As well as being near to St Andrews – the Home of Golf is 20 minutes’ drive away – golf courses are plentiful in the local area, with Charleton’s less than a 10-minute drive away to start off with. A little further on (15 minutes) are watersports on the coast around Elie and horse riding in the rural surrounds of Kilconquhar Castle Estate. Facilities at Forth House Caravan Site include sluices for cassette disposal, a motorhome service point and a heated toilet block with shower facilities. Wifi is also available and dogs are allowed on site.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Friendly atmosphere when we arrived, nothing seemed to be a bother to the wardens, ( email of barrier code went in to junk mail, so needed to call to get access) site was very clean and very tidy, toilets were immaculate.

Disliked: Toilets blocks though clean are very dated, only three showers for the whole site, simply is not enough

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch (six person)

Liked: We loved this campsite and would absolutely recommend it to others. The view from the campsite is beautiful - photos don't do it justice! We were hoping the toilet and shower facilities would be alright as we didn't see any photos on the listing, and can confirm they were excellent. There are plenty of toilets and showers, all clean and in good condition, and quite private. The campsite has a lovely little shop with necessities inside, just make sure you bring cash (£1 coins needed for showers too). There is plenty of space at the campsite, we never felt like we were pitched too close to anyone else. The campsite has different areas so there's privacy from other visitors and it doesn't feel exposed. We loved that the arrival times were flexible so we didn't feel time pressure on the long drive to Scotland, and once we were there we could come and go. We went out in the car each day and felt comfortable leaving the tent; as long as you're not driving the car through the campsite after dark it's otherwise flexible and safe. As it's adult only it was very quiet and peaceful, at night the only sounds you can hear are the nearby sheep which we loved listening to. This campsite really is a wonderful, relaxing place to stay and we had a brilliant time camping there. We would love to come back someday.

Disliked: There was nothing we disliked.

Local attractions

For fishing village explores set off for Crail, Anstruther, Pittenweem and St Monans, all less than 25 minutes’ drive away, for colourful cottages with tons of character and easy access to short coastal walks. If a city stroll with a healthy dose of fresh country air appeals, St Andrews has a cathedral and castle to peer at as well as a wide, long beach; this whole eastern coast is in fact full of sandy shores – try Shell Bay a 15-minute drive from the park if the Scottish sun makes an appearance. Further north past St Andrews is another splendid city, Dundee, on the Firth of Tay estuary with a renovated waterfront including a couple of maritime museums as well as a museum introducing visitors to the region’s jute-making history.
