Great location

Our third of six stops on our four weeker and our second visit to this site. The weather wasn't on our side this time but we still enjoyed cycling and walking along the shores of the Firth of Fourth, metal detecting on the beach and of course Edinburgh. We bussed into the city one damp day and walked there again a few days later, it's a fair walk and only taken for the exercise, not the views. We were disturbed most nights by cars using Marine Drive as a race track and were buzzed by idiots on motorbikes on the Firth of Fourth Promenade - we didn't see a single policeman or Ranger and the amount of people who let their dogs foul the area was disgusting. We did get a good pitch on site though and whilst the toilet blocks are probably not as modern as most they were always clean (apart from the usual dirty sods who expect other people to clean up after them - Ugh)! Gripes:- The grass was not cut, and we found most of the other visitors every unfriendly although nothing the club can do about that.

Good location for exploring Edinburgh

Spent 3 nights here as part of our 2 week tour of Scotland . Nice clean site with lovely big pitches well spaced out but showers not warm enough only managed to get Luke warm water despite being turned into hottest setting . Noisy road alongside but that didn't really disturb us much . Loved walk through golf course to Toby inn for very good carvery , bus only 10 min walk away for trips into centre of Edinburgh. Would definitely use this site again

Oh, but the weather in Scotland

Having just returned from a visit to Edinburgh I can understand why the Scots invented whisky. We arrived in a temperature of just 4 degrees and left 5 days later in 23 degrees. Besides the weather Edinburgh is a great city, I'm not a city person so one visit to any city in a year is plenty for me. But we packed lots of activities into a short stay - the Underground city; Royal Yacht Britannia; Holyrood House Palace; Castle. we took a short trip up to Falkirk to see the Canal wheel; The Kelpies in Helix Park and Callander House. Eating try the Mussel Inn on Rose Street, and you must go and look in the Dome even if you don't eat just look. Site is in a great location, evening walks along the sea path and the local mini-bus at the site made it easy for going in & out of the city in just 15 mins, but make sure you ring the number to make sure they are coming. Site was spotlessly clean and staff were really welcoming.

Excellent site, first class wardens

We recently spent 5 nights at Edinburgh. This was the first time we've visited the site and it certainly won't be our last. The site is immaculate and very well maintained by the wardens. Nothing was too much trouble, they were friendly throughout our stay and made sure everyone enjoyed their holiday. The site has an excellent bus service close by, we travelled into Edinburgh and to the wonderful Botanic Gardens (which is free, unless you go into the glasshouses).

A beautiful site

We stayed here for 3 nights over the early Spring Bank Holiday and loved the site. It is well landscaped with spacious pitches and beautifully looked after. It was a 10 minute walk round the perimeter of the site and through a residential area to the bus stop where you can get a bus directly into the city. We got off at the Botanic Gardens - highly recommended. The site is located above the Cramond promenade and this can be accessed by crossing the road opposite the site entrance and descending a flight of very steep steps, or more sensibly by following the road to the left for a gentler descent. A Parkrun is held here every Saturday at 9:30 on an excellent course, fast and flat. The walk to Cramond, a small village with a pretty harbour and a very old pub, is delightful and takes about half an hour or so. We found the site wardens extremely helpful when we had a problem with our electrics when leaving the site.

Fantastic site, friendly wardens

We stayed here for 8 nights during April. First thing we noticed when we drove into the site was the appearance, very well looked after. The second thing was the friendliness and the compitance of the wardens. I've read the other reviews and both me and my husband had no complaints about the toilet block. We didn't park near the road, so no noise. Loved the location, especially because we could walk across the road and we were on the sea front. Preferred walking away from Edinburgh because we thought it was much cleaner the further away from Edinburgh. Princess street and Royal mile was ok but wasn't impressed with the rest, but that's just our opinion. Would definitely recommend the club site though.

Good showers for short guys.

Just a quick review - We love going to the Edinburgh site - and have visited on all 4 seasons. This time we were on the Leith side of the site, and all 3 of us noticed that the shower heads are great if you like limbo dancing. I know you can't easily fix them, but when you next upgrade these toilets (and that should be soon!) please remember the showers should let you wash your hair... But we still love the site, and will be back for another limbo soon.

Good for visiting city

We stayed here for two nights on our two week touring holiday around Scotland. Lovely big site, warm welcome from wardens & ideal for visiting Edinburgh via mini bus direct from site or by normal bus services a 10 minute walk away. The advantage with the normal bus is you can buy a day pass for £4 to take you wherever you want to go. Recommend a visit to the Ocean Terminal shopping centre where the Royal Yatch Britannia is on display. We spent a couple of hours looking around Britannia & having tea & scones on board. A good view of the city can be obtained by walking up the very steep hill behind Holyrood - hard work but worth it for the view. Previously visited the castle which is another must. City is lovely with its buildings & parks. A couple of points about the site is that the toilet block we used was clean but looking tired & be aware that planes fly overhead on route to the airport (did not bother us). We will return again another day.

Back Again

Have just spent 5 days here with brilliant weather.  We came into Edinburgh via Leith, the first time ever, as we were approaching from the A1.  The road surface is OK to start with but deteriorates dramatically around Leith.  It does make the journey quicker but really not sure if it's worth it.  We are a motorhome towing a car on a trailer and rather long, the car was being bounced around.  The alternative route round the bypass is a much better surface but you can hit a great deal of traffic.  Once you arrive the welcome is great from the wardens, the choice of pitches is your only worry - there is too much choice!  The site is well kept, lots of walks down by the beach.  The loo blocks are very clean but starting to show their age.  A Toby Carvery is just up the road too.  So much to do in Edinburgh (27 or 16 bus £4 for a daily ticket).  Will be back again next year.

Brilliant

Visited for the second time this year and staff still remembered us from the first time. Very friendly staff with nothing too much for them. Beautiful, clean site and ideally situated for visiting the sights of Edinburgh and the surrounding scenery. Will certainly be back again this year and into the foreseeable future.
