What customers say
Sparkling, modern ablutions! Spacious pitches with amenities. Well-kitted kitchen a hit. Friendly, helpful staff. Great for Edinburgh trips & walks. Occasional plane noise & small shop are minor points.

From the manager: Hi John,
Thank you for your lovely review. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the park, found our team friendly and were happy with the facilities. We’re delighted you had such a positive stay and look forward to welcoming you back to Linwater again.
Kind regards,

A lovely site, just make sure you have plenty of data.
Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked A very well kept site with good hard standing pitches. The water and electric were quite far too reach, around 20ft from the caravan. There's a small shop at reception for some essentials. The toilet block was exceptional, modern, large and very clean. It was quiet with only a handful of other campers at the time. Good facilities all round.
Disliked The only downside was the terrible WiFi, not up to today's standards at all. The only real reception was standing right underneath the single very old looking transmitter at the reception and even then it kept dropping out. It's 2026, you need to provide good WiFi.

From the manager: Hi SM,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. It’s great to hear that you found the park well maintained, enjoyed our facilities and were pleased with the cleanliness of the toilet block.
We appreciate your comments regarding the Wi-Fi and understand how frustrating an unreliable connection can be. We do think there has been some miscommunication regarding the WIFI service that we have to offer on the park. We do have reliable Wi-Fi available in our camping kitchen, which has tables and chairs so guests can sit comfortably while browsing. We also receive a 5G signal in parts of the park, although coverage can vary depending on your pitch.
Unfortunately, due to our rural location, installing a reliable internet connection across the entire park has been quoted at over £30,000. In the meantime, we appreciate your feedback and will continue to make sure our listing clearly explains the limitations of our Wi-Fi provision so guests can plan accordingly.
Kind regards,
Ellie

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Campeggio eccellente, ideale soprattutto per chi cerca una base pratica grazie alla posizione strategica vicinissima all'aeroporto.
La struttura dispone di ampi parcheggi che rendono le manovre e la sosta davvero agevoli. Le piazzole sono fornite di allaccio per l'elettricità e i servizi essenziali sono ben gestiti, puliti e funzionali. Nonostante la vicinanza allo scalo, l'ambiente si è rivelato abbastanza tranquillo, garantendo un buon riposo.
A disposizione degli ospiti ci sono anche un'area cucina ben attrezzata e un piccolo shop interno, perfetto per le prime necessità. Una menzione speciale va allo staff: personale cordiale, sempre sorridente e davvero disponibile per ogni richiesta.
Rapporto qualità-prezzo eccellente. Consigliatissimo!
Disliked Valuterei un collaborazione con NCC o taxi
