  • 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.

Lesley F.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The site is set in a beautiful part of Fife with stunning views over the Forth Estuary. The host, Duncan, was incredibly friendly and helpful - even coming to our rescue with a spare electric hook-up after we realised we’d left ours at home!

The pitches are well spaced giving lots of privacy and it was perfect for our two dogs with a large fenced field for then to run off some steam. There’s also a short walk into Upper Largo from a path on the site.

There is a small restaurant on-site which is open at the weekends which looked very popular and busy (it must be good!) We didn’t get the chance to try it this time, but on arrival we could have ordered fish and chips - definitely something we will do on our next visit.

The location is great with just a short drive to some of the lovely towns of the East Neuk and it’s makes for an ideal base to the explore the beaches and coastal path.

The shower and toilet block were spotless, with plenty of hot water available.

A lovely adults only site for some proper R&R - we’ll definitely be back!

Ave J.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked What a fantastic stay. It was our first stay In our caravan, and as novices it was a great experience. Duncan was so attentive, and obliging. Even had the restaurant stay open to give us a Friday night supper. That was a fantastic gesture. Reasonable price , Also very delicious. The site itself was very spacious with plenty room for caravan awning cars etc. facilities was brilliant, toilets blocks /showers were very clean. Never used the laundry or the water station. But very handy to have. Bins were positioned well in and around the site. Views were amazing. Very impressed with the whole experience. Would definitely recommend and return.

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.
