What customers say
This is a very clean, well-maintained and peaceful site with spacious pitches and excellent, modern facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen. The staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Its location is ideal for exploring Edinburgh via the park and ride, with lovely walks nearby. Some guests noted aircraft noise due to proximity to the airport and some road noise from adjacent pitches, with a few mentioning WiFi limitations.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Warm welcome. Great camping kitchen facilities if you wanted to use them. Super easy to get into Edinburgh on park and ride. Lovely shower block.
Disliked It would've been even better if we had access to wi-fi outside of the camping kitchen area. Not a big deal for us though!
