  • 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 family-run 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 grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: This is our go to campsite now. A quiet location with amazing views ( when the weather’s clear) facilities are brilliant. Clean and easily accessible. The wee shop is fantastic for those things you always forget. Pitches are large and level. We have been here a few times now. And it wins hands down oh and the WiFi is great. Thanks again.

Disliked: Nothing.

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

Liked: Stunning scenic and peaceful place! Clean and organised. Loved the pitches which overlook the North Sea. We enjoyed watching the sun coming up with a cup of tea. Overall it was a lovely atmosphere.

Disliked: The ladies showers. Only one of them functioned properly. The floors got so wet in and outside the cubicle. Very strong winds followed by rain shortly after we set up tent later in the afternoon which lasted a few hours.

Fully-serviced grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Spotless site, very neat and tidy. Handy little shop and good clean shower and toilet facilities. A big plus are the views over the bay…a wonderful sight to wake up to!

Disliked: The only thing we can think of is there isn’t much near by ie a shop or local pub

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.
