A aimé Quiet, relaxing site with everything you need within a short distance. This is the second time staying and it's simple and perfect!

N'a pas aimé Not too much the campsites fault but the plugs in the kitchen were being 'hogged' it seemed. Someone was charging 8 power banks at one point, all day and all night. There was also 3 mini fridges taking up plugs the whole time we were there. It's a non electric site so was a bit disappointed that people bought such hefty electrical items that get in the way of others simply wanting to charge their phones for an hour or so. This also led to a power cut at one point on our stay. Just think a reminder to be sharing and caring with the electricity would be good for future campers!

A aimé Lovely country park, not enormous but some very nice woodland walks. Regular buses into Edinburgh are about 15 min walk away. Generally quiet and peaceful overnight. Large field. Well organised. Facilities clean. Good showers and toilets. Wifi available at one end of the field. Park gates close at 7pm to the general public but campers are given a code to get in after this time. Lovely (but pricey) store, shops and restaurant within the country park 5 min walk away. Plenty of other shops in Dalkeith High Street, including a Morrisons supermarket.

N'a pas aimé Would be useful if all the pitches were marked out. Website said there were no 'small' pitches available, so I paid for a 'medium' pitch even though I have a tiny one person tent but when I arrived it was a free for all and I was just asked to not pitch within a certain distance of any other tent. Also cost of car parking was included which as someone who arrived on foot was unnecessary. Maybe a small 'environmental' discount for those who use public transport? Admittedly probably not many of us!

A aimé Great location, excellent on site facilities, friendly & helpful staff, perfect for my needs

N'a pas aimé can get noisy with children, large family groups at busy times of the year. It would be great if there was a section of the site for quiet campers

A aimé I liked the Dalkeith Country Park, the big place for the tent.

N'a pas aimé There is no electricity on the campsite which I can understand. But It would have been nice if there was a freezer and a fridge so we can cool our groceries an freeze the elements for the coolbox.
