Absolutely super site and so dog friendly

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

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

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.

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

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.

Ideal

An ideal site for touring the Fife coast. As stated in other reviews there are a lot of trees that made it quite dark but as we used it as a base this was fine. Easy walk to the Village with a few shops & pubs also the Railway station. Great Country park next to the site for walking.

Lovely and friendly

Located in a patch of pine trees, amazing smell from the trees when raining. Clean and tidy site. Staff very friendly. Part of Balbirnie Park, hotel, golf course and walks right next to the site.

Good Stay

On arrival we were met by Clare who couldn't have been any more friendly or helpful. As we were travelling with another group she advised on the best pitches so we could be together. Yes there are a lot of pitches under or near trees so you have to accept some fall from them. The grass pitches looked more open so you may avoid this if it's an issue. The site is on different levels and is landscaped so you don't see rows of Caravans. The staff were helpful and friendly and the facilities were well kept and clean. Markinch is small but has a couple of small supermarkets, pubs and takeaways. Train station is around 10 minutes walk away with good links. Scottish Deer Centre is around 15 minute drive away and is well worth a visit.

Very disappointing

On a positive note the wardens were very nice and the facilities clean, but oh what depressing pitches, dark , unlevel , weedy and from most pitches, views into houses which surround the site . No will not be returning or recommending to friends. But as usual the CMC will ignore this review or placate them selves. As with other CMC sites we were given a tiny pitch as the bigger pitches were required for the larger vans , who paid the same fees as us.
