What customers say
Guests rave about the campsite's super clean, modern facilities, spotless ablutions, and friendly, helpful staff. Pitches are level and spacious. Great spot for exploring Edinburgh via park and ride, with good dog walks. Be aware of occasional airport noise and hit-or-miss Wi-Fi.

Liked L’endroit est vraiment chouette avec les animaux et l’environnement . Il y a beaucoup de chemin à parcourir si vous voulez vous promener
Disliked Franchement je peux pas dire que je n’est pas aimé quelque chose. Le problème c’est le manque d’hygiène chez les autres campeurs qui ne nettoie pas après leur passage, l’hygiène n’est pas donnée à tout le monde. C’est pour ça je ne blâme pas le personnel qui était sympa et a l’écoute.

Liked Wonderful Stay – Clean, Convenient, and Thoughtfully Equipped
We had a great experience at this campsite! The facilities were spotless, especially the toilets, which were cleaned regularly and well-maintained. The location is excellent – very close to the airport and not far from the city, making it super convenient for travelers.
The campsite itself is in a pleasant and peaceful area, perfect for relaxing. We really appreciated the shared kitchen, which came equipped with a microwave, water heater, and even a TV – such a nice touch! One of the best features was a community box where guests can leave behind items they no longer need, like coffee or salt. It’s a brilliant idea that adds a thoughtful, sustainable touch to the stay.
Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a clean, well-located, and welcoming campsite!
Disliked Maybe the motorhome place to dispose the grey water could be a bit larger

Excellent site with clean facilities, level pitches and friendly staff
Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked The manager was so nice, welcoming and helpful. The pitches are perfectly level, large, and spaced out. All the facilities are new, clean and upgraded. A clean marble shower with hot water after easy parking and set up was a dream come true after the day of touring.

Liked Het is een nette camping, ruime plaatsen. Ook een keuken om te kunnen zitten en te koken, dus ook voor de wandelaars en fietsers een geschikte camping.
