Liked: Clear pre-arrival communication Smooth and hassle-free check-in Fantastic on-site shop Friendly and knowledgeable staff offering advice on local walks Spacious, well-organized, and easy-to-navigate pitch Lovely view from the pitch Convenient location Beautiful walking trails in the area

Non-electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch

Liked: It was a lovely little quirky campsite with a great organic shop selling everything essential and more. A fresh fruit and veg section selling homegrown products. The toilets were lovely and clean and the shower was hot. We didn’t use the cafe but I’m pretty sure that was as good as the rest of it!

Disliked: No Elsan point. One would have been very handy after driving round Scotland for a few days.

Bankings Field non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We liked the quietness of the place and the tranquility of the surroundings. It was lovely hearing the noises of the wildlife at night such as owls and being able to see the stars. It was good having a portaloo near the tent so didn't have a long walk to toilet block in the dark.

Disliked: Didn't like having a fixed shower for which you had to keep pressing the button to keep it coming on. The shower room and toilet block were a bit of a walk from the tent pitch. Didn't enjoy being woken up at 7:15am because of the portaloo being cleaned. The prices of food in both the cafe and shop were too expensive.

Liked: Lovely estate with some beautiful walks. Peaceful

Non-electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch

Liked: Great location, small site but very good and clean facilities. The staff were excellent. We had a tent box and tent and whilst there was a separate pitching areas the owners let us pitch together which was a lovely gesture. All pitches come with a huge fire pit too. Keep an eye out for the red squirrels, loads in the woods. Coffee and cake very tasty. Also worth a walk to Falkland which is about 25 mins away through the forest where we went for dinner. Highly recommend.

Bankings Field non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely campsite! We stayed in the tent field which had a beautiful view and lots of wildlife to spot. Amenities in the field were great - with a porta loo, campfire spots, and water tap. The farm shop and cafe were fantastic and a lovely thing to have on site for morning coffee. My six year old really enjoyed the playpark and poly-tunnel seating area where we lit a fire in the fire pit one night. Would definitely recommend and will be back!

Non-electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch

Liked: What a lovely relaxed campsite, the cafe & shop were great & everyone we met was friendly & helpful. I contacted them before we arrived & had quick, helpful responses. We had glorious weather which helped too! Our original pitch wasn’t level but we were able to move to somewhere that was so it wasn’t an issue at all.

Local attractions

A visit to Renaissance-era Falkland Palace (20 minutes’ walk) should top your to-do list, for its ornate architecture, formal gardens and real tennis court built in the times of King James V. After seeing the palace, amble up Falkland Hill (also known as East Lomond, five minutes’ drive to the car park) and be rewarded with views over Fife to the North Sea. The Fife Coastal Path (20 minutes' drive) is open to both walkers and bikers. Cyclists also have a route especially to themselves, as Pillars of Hercules is on National Cycle Route 1, a massive trail linking Dover with the Shetland Islands. To see more of Fife, take a driving tour of the East Neuk’s seaside villages of Elie (35 minutes), Anstruther and Crail (both 45 minutes, and all with tempting harbour-front pubs). Stop off in university town St Andrews (40 minutes) to see the cathedral and castle ruins, or let golfing aficionados take a guided tour of the famed Old Course. If you fancy playing on these championship links, be sure to book a tee-off time well in advance.
