  • 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.

Fully-serviced grass touring pitch

Liked: The views, as always are tremendous, pitches are very generous in size and this is our 3rd visit and once again everyone is so chilled 😎

Disliked: No WI-FI available at our pitch and when when we queried this we were pretty much brushed off which was surprising as normally they are very helpful on site. Toilet blocks not kept as clean as they have been on our part visits.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The views of the coast are amazing, it's a quiet site for its size, facilities clean and modern. I used the laundry facilities so had no washing to do when I got home. Very relaxed atmosphere, can pick your own pitch with lots of choice and plenty hook up points. There are lots of places to walk to including the local town, coastal path and beach. All of these walks are suitable for all ages with no need to walk on country roads (never an issue, just a benefit). Prime location for visiting further a field also.

Disliked: Not much to dislike about this place but we did struggle to find dog friendly places to eat in the local area. This wouldn't put us off returning though.

Fully-serviced grass touring pitch

Liked: We normally go to sites with hardstanding pitches, but when we arrived the elderly gent asked if we wanted a pitch with a view, wow, it may have been a grass pitch but absolutely amazing views over the bays. So peaceful. Shower block basic but lots of room and so clean with plenty of hot water. Clean and tidy with dog walks clearly marked out. Central for touring the Fife area, but locally the Upper Largo Hotel (within walking distance) and the Crusoe Hotel in lower Largo (10min drive) are worth a visit for drinks or meals/snacks. The site has a cafe/restaurant which looked great, hope to try the food next time we visit. Great site for a chill out break and can't wait to get back soon.

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.
