What customers say
This site gets a thumbs-up for super-clean modern facilities, especially the loos. Staff are a friendly bunch, pitches are lekker big, and it's handily placed for exploring Edinburgh by park and ride. Communal kitchen's a bonus. A few mention plane noise and iffy Wi-Fi.

Great stay on the outskirts of Edinburgh
Electric grass pitch

Liked Quiet, neat, tidy and well organised site. Very well laid out, great facilities and friendly staff. Pitches absolutely enormous and well kept: first campsite I've ever been to with both electricity AND water at every pitch. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Very friendly and welcoming.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The friendly welcome, they took the time to help us when we were unsure about anything. The cleanliness of the whole park including the kitchen, the shower and toilet blocks. Rubbish bins replaced as soon as they were full. The location was ideal for us. the pitch size was excellent. Shower was as hot or as cold as one desired.
Disliked Not so much a dislike but I felt the shower duration for each push could have been longer, as a older person I am a bit slower washing myself and had to juggle with my wash items and the push button.
