We were on our way home from a tour of the Orkneys and Highlands and needed a quite spot to rest ourselves and our motorhome. We found this site in the club book and set the sat Nav with the post code. Coming from the north this doesn't work with Tom Tom, it seems the iriginal lane has now been built over by a new housing estate. Not daunted we followed the instructions and found the site quite easily. This is a very quite and secluded site set amoung trees. The staff were most helpful, explaining that there are shops only a 5 minute walk away. The facilities were absolutely top class, very clean and comprehensive, the whole site was a pleasure to stop in, in other circumstances we would have stayed longer. Well done the staff!!
We enjoyed a break here earlier this month. The wardens work very hard to keep their site immaculate. The large number of trees can keep the sun away but at least we saw some sun. Contrary to the site details, we got excellent TV reception but only intermittent mobile phone reception.
A beautiful well maintained caravan club site, a fantastic base to start your travels, peaceful nights to enjoy your sleep, and shower and toilet blocks that are so clean you could eat off the floor. its run by people who know exactly what we like as caravaners.
We tend to travel no more that 40 miles aday when visiting places around where we stay, making Balbernie Park perfect for Edinburgh, Dundee, Pitlochry, Dunkeld and Queensferry and a must for everyone the awarding winning Fish & Chip shop at Anstruther, watch out, they can que along time for their tea, but well worth the wait. The site is fantastic if you have a dog, we took molly and there are some great walks all around Balbernie House, lots of greens and woodland, plenty of bins provided to clear up any mess made, as we all should. So to end, Balbernie Park Caravan Club Site is the perfect place to stay and enjoy your travels around Scotland. last tip, Free parking at the train station, trains to Edinburgh approx every 30 mins, £11.30 return, off peak..Â

Just back from a wee break at this great site, facilities were super, toilets were immacculate, the wardens were brill, very friendly and helpful, great base to visit St Andrews and the East Neck, beutiful park next door to walk dogs, overall a great break, would definitely return
This is one of the best kept sites we have been on. Nothing is too much bother for the wardens. They both work very hard and the site is much improved since they took over
A pleasant site within easy reach of Fife's picturesque fishing villages and bustling Kirkcaldy.
I was surprised by the relatively small number of white-marker (awning) plots, while any number of blue-marker bays (non-awning) were free for use: this restriction, I was told, a carryover from earlier pre-Club management.
Stayed 28/8 for three nights - First outing to a Club site since joining so didn't really know what to expect. From entry to exit it was a joy - excellent friendly wardens, nice wooded site with no pitch too far from amenities. Toilets etc spotless. Great surroundings in terms of plants, bird boxes, squirrels coming right up to the caravan - fabulous grounds next door at Balbirnie House itself (excellent food btw) attractive sleepy village with very well stocked Coop. Good historical walks around village using guide in wardens box - old sanctuary stone at Stobcross. Great local towns and villages to visit - even watched cricket at Freuchie.
Must admit slight bias as granddad used to work at the big house and dad was born near there but a site I will return to. If this is an example of the Club sites I will be a happy member.
This is the second time we have used this site. It is a perfect location for touring Fife or a visit to Edinburgh. The facilities were very clean. The site is large with many trees and the wardens very helpful. Highly recommended.
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely site, and would thoroughly recommend it. The toilet block is immaculate the wardens very helpful and friendly, and the site is extremely well kept. There are no facilities on the site for children, but there is a lovely big park next door, great for supervised ball games and bikes, although the site is good for bikes too. This was our first night in our caravan, and being a used caravan from the dealership we didn't want to go too far away in case anything went wrong with the caravan. However, if this site was not so close to home we would definitely return.
