Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Lovely couple who were super friendly,we were shown to our pitch. Toilets, showers and camp kitchen was fantastic and spotless. Added security with barrier, spot on. Everything you could need in reception/shop. Takeaways delivery available to site too. Perfect for our trip to Royal Highland Show, minutes away.
Disliked: Absolutely nothing.

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Friendly and helpful, very clean, excellent facilities (new Nov 2023); we were on electric hookup on grass: large flat pitches each with its own water supply. Kitchen with space to wash up, cook and eat inside, as well as outdoor washing up area. Good dog walking path that links straight to canal tow paths and access to country park. Fishing on the River Almond £5/day or £15 season ticket (short walk from the site). 30 mins drive to the Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel. 30 mins drive to Blackness Castle. All recommended! Close to Edinburgh tram park and ride. Good access to motorways but quiet and rural (near the airport/flight path but hardly noticeable). We stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed the area, lots of interesting canal/industrial history. We went out of season so relatively quiet, also most people seemed to be touring so only staying one or two nights. I imagine it is very busy in school holidays.
Disliked: Limited shop.

We look forward to meeting you again for a future visit. Many Thanks, The Linwater Team

Liked: We liked the communication and it wasn't a problem to arrive late. Clear instructions,warm welcome. The site is clean with lovely shower facilities. Extra bonus was for us to be able to cook in the community kitchen,the kids were able to play games. We appreciated reduce waste ideas for unused food. It was a lovely initiative. We had lots of food on our last stay and we were happy to share the food,books and DVD's which we couldn't take home with us. We did rental touring holiday and they fly back to home country.

Liked: Everything. Top quality shower block, level pitches and very friendly staff. Convenient for the park and ride tram to Edinburgh and close enough to Falkirk Kelpes and Wheel.
Disliked: If I had to be picky, it is relatively near the flight path from Edinburgh airport but not really an issue.
