Absolutely super site and so dog friendly
Balbirnie Park Club Campsite
Ideally suited for exploring Fife. This lovely, easily found and easily accessible site was a joy to stay in. We had pitch 82 down the far end of the site where we had both sunshine and shade on a grass pitch which despite all the recent rain had drained well.. Lots of room on rhis spacious and well set out site amongst trees. We were struck by how peaceful it was. On site facilities were very clean and always looked well maintained. The staff were extremely nice and we noted always continuously working on different things to beautify the site. A huge plus is that the site is in a corner of the enormous Balbirnie estate which provides up to 400 acres of lovely dig walking. We had five extremely pleasant nights there and would strongly recommend it to other carsvsnners.
Better than expected
Balbirnie Park Club Campsite
Really enjoyed our 2 night stay and would definitely consider returning for longer. The key to this site is choosing your pitch, I wouldn’t want to be on the pitches adjacent to the residential properties but the pitch we had, higher up near the woodland was perfect.
Major plus for this site are the friendly wardens who keep absolutely spotless facilities.
The price of pitches here is also a bonus, I wish all Club sites were as reasonably priced.
1st caravan trip of the year
Balbirnie Park Club Campsite
I booked this site for 3 nights at the end of May. It's lovely and quiet among the trees. Small so very easy to navigate. I had a nice welcome from the warden when I arrived. Facilities were spotless. Showers with hot water. Very helpful to keep it that way when other campers left it nice and tidy after use. I had a mixed weather during my stay. From rain to sun and thunderstorm and lightning, but this is Scotland. True is that the Club could invest in a better draining system to help the wardens to keep the pitches nice and dry. The pitch beside mine was flooded and the water was outside my caravan. My wellies were a godsend. I couldn't put my porch awning up unfortunately. This is why I give 4 out of 5 for overall rating. Plenty walks in the park. Grocery shops were just few minutes away from the campsite. Great solo trip.
Wonderful, restful week.
Balbirnie Park Club Campsite
We booked our small caravan and awning onto a grass pitch for a week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The two grassed areas back onto the Balbirnie park, which is full of bird life and the pitches not overhung by trees. The campsite is just 15 mins drive from the coast and there is an easy walk into Markinch for provisions. The site is kept clean and neat with constant supervision. The wardens are friendly and very helpful, we would highly recommend the site for others exploring Fife.
First Break to Scotland
Balbirnie Park Club Campsite
Began stay on April 13 2024 for 5 days.
Site pleasant and well tended by wardens Andy & Rachael.
They always appeared to be out on the site dealing with upkeep and nurturing the floral beds and displays.
Despite the excessive April showers, the site was kept tidy and well organised.
Good location for touring Fife and neighbouring areas.
Lots of suggestions for holidaying activities available in the information room.
To support Rachael and Andy in their concerted efforts, the club need to invest some monies to fully refurbish the tired pitches to ensure good pitch and surrounding surfaces drainage.
Once this is done, the popularity of the site could increase tenfold!
May return in the future.
