What customers say
Lovely country park site, peaceful with great family facilities like play gear and BBQs. Staff are helpful, loos and showers are spotless. Stone or long grass on pitches, no parking by tents, but wheelbarrows are there. Near Edinburgh.

Expensive for what it is
Non-electric grass tent pitch (three person, small)
Liked Site is in the country park grounds and has festive feel to it.
Disliked We booked for two nights and only stayed one due the weather turning to rain.
You aren't allowed to take your car onto the tent field and it is quite a walk to bring your camping gear from your car, wheel barrows are provided. We left early because we didn't fancy moving out camping gear in the rain. When you have a small tent you rely on your car for storage. Not enough toilet and shower facilities for the amount of campers

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent pitch (three person, small)
Liked Quiet, relaxing site with everything you need within a short distance. This is the second time staying and it's simple and perfect!
Disliked Not too much the campsites fault but the plugs in the kitchen were being 'hogged' it seemed. Someone was charging 8 power banks at one point, all day and all night. There was also 3 mini fridges taking up plugs the whole time we were there. It's a non electric site so was a bit disappointed that people bought such hefty electrical items that get in the way of others simply wanting to charge their phones for an hour or so. This also led to a power cut at one point on our stay. Just think a reminder to be sharing and caring with the electricity would be good for future campers!
