Excellent Site

Have used this site several times over past two years and also been pleased with the friendly welcome from site wardens on arrival and during our stay. They keep the site and facilities in tip top condition and are a credit to the CaMC.

Cleanest and nicest facilities we have found recently

Stayed a couple of nights last week, swithered about staying a third night but had a delivery coming so had to go home. We were lucky with the weather, facilities first class once we got the hang of the door entry system! Lovely dish washing area, overall, will certainly go back. Very friendly staff who were always busy doing something round the site but always giving a cheery greeting when they saw you. People with dogs on site seemed to keep them well under control and no messes like we've seen on sites recently, found other persons on site very friendly as well.

Excellent, would highly recommend!

Very friendly welcome from the wardens who were happy to help with any queries/questions, with this being our first outing with the caravan. Pitches and facilities very clean and well maintained. The pitch area we were in was quiet and spacious. Was dog friendly, which was great for having two young dogs ourselves. Great having the spacious grass area right outside the gates to walk the dogs. Will definitely be booking again and would highly recommend to others!

A piece of heaven

This is a great site in an even better location set in the Balbirnie estate, there's a hotel where you hear a piper playing for weddings an 18 hole golf course that we played a huge parkland to walk dogs it has woodlands and a bridle path plus a craft centre. It's just outside a small village with 3 pubs, 2 small supermarkets and a chemist plus a Chinese takeaway. The wardens are great and do a brilliant job keeping this large yet private site clean and tidy, the facilities are spotless, just one downside our dog was harassed by the many squirrels she wanted to chase them all

Beautiful, wooded site in great location

We stayed one night here whilst touring. It's accessible and beautifully sited amongst pine trees. However, this means that some pitches are in dappled shade. We also found that the wifi was variable in our corner of the site. The site is surrounded by houses on one side, but this did not feel too obtrusive, maybe because of the trees. We were near the road, and we did find the road noise a bit much. It isn't incessant noise, but just a steady stream of occasional vehicles passing. So if this will bother you, go for a pitch away from that side. The site is right next to Balbirnie Park which is a delightful place to stroll and walk a dog.

Return to Balbirnie

A wonderful site with great friendly staff and a great location. I would definitely recommend this site to anyone thinking of exploring the lovely area of the "East Neuk" of Fife.

Lovely hidden site.

We visited this site for one night in July, and it’s a charming site. Well hidden off the road in the village of Markinch, and right next to Balbirnie park and woodland walk. The facilities and toilets were very clean, and the welcome warm. Quite a few of the pitches are under trees, so it’s dappled sunlight only! But the tv reception was very good. Markinch is a 5 minute walk away with 2 co-ops,a couple of pubs and assorted shops. Balbirnie park is on your doorstep, with wooded dog walks and also a golf course. A lovely visit.

Balbirnie Site visit

We visited this site in June 2019, after driving from the site at Blair Drummond. The site is located right next to Balbirnie Park, which houses the splendid Balbirnie House Hotel, Balbirnie Golf Club, and some wonderful woodland walks - some of which can be cycled on. There are so many species of trees withing the park, and wonderful shrubs, plus a charming stream. The pitches at the site are decently placed - some are in quiet parts of the site, other border the perimeter fence next to a housing estate, which did not appear noisy or intrusive, Some of the pitches lack sun due their position amongst trees, but some people would prefer this perhaps. The toilet block was immaculate - didn't have as many showers as some sites (4), but didn't cause us an issue. Motorhomes were not allowed on grass pitches, as they were deemed too soft. The staff were lovely & helpful, and work hard on the upkeep of the site. We walked into the Town of Markinch, which was in the main unimpressive, and not a lot there - a couple of convenience stores, a couple of pubs, a decent train station, a restaurant. Clean, but unexciting. Glenrothes is only a mile or so away - a decent sized place, where Supermarkets are plentiful, petrol stations etc. All in all, a very pleasant 2 x night stay, with a wonderful Park next door. If there was one criticism - on the day of leaving (a Saturday), we vacated around 11.45am - entrance to & from the site is restricted, in that if there is more than one car/caravan entering the site, and are parked by the office whilst registering in, then you will not be able to get out until one of them moves on. On the day we departed, it was pretty chaotic in that there was a line of caravans/Motorhomes trying to get in, I guess to get first choice on pitches - thus the staff had to allow them through the barrier to enable people to get out ! Some caravans in the queue had to back-up !!

Great place, everything we required, great location, excellent staff.

Balbirnie site review This was our first visit to Balbirnie Caravan Club site. We are a 1hr drive away but due to rush hour traffic took over 2 hrs to arrive. The wardens said they would wait for us after closing(8pm) and they did and still helped us on pitch and told us which local carryouts would deliver to the site. The grass pitch they gave us was near everything and beautiful in the morning with the sun shinning through the trees. Plenty of space between pitches. The site is really well kept with a superb Toilet block, great showers. The site sits within Balbirnie park, which is a 400acre estate with Hotel and golf course and stunning trees and plants as well as a beautiful stream which our dogs loved. This is the best dog walking site we’ve been to in the UK. This site sits in the middle of Fife so is ideal for all of the coastal towns including St. Andrews and Tentsmuir forest. The area has so many attractions, Falkland Palace, St.Andrews, Lomond hills, Perth, so much to do locally in some lovely quaint Fife villages. Cycling has many options, Loch Leven easy 13mile round cycle, we walked it in 4hrs, gentle but not easy, beware the midges north side. The Loch Leven Larder is a must for Food, cakes are fantastic and we bought a wonderful fresh steak pie that we ate at home, delicious. The Boat house at Kinross sits on the Loch and the outside café provide water and a free cup of dog food to revitalise our dogs, sandwiches were great. The cakes at the café at Findatie are special too. There are loads of hidden gems in Fife and Balbirie site is ideal to reach them in a short drive. The village of Markinch is small but Glenrothes is next to it so the nearest retail park is only 2 miles away for all your needs. A big thankyou to the wardens that keep the site in excellent condition, are so accommodating, loved the wee book library and picked 4 excellent books, and a lovely smiling couple who picked everyone’s spirits up.
