Almost Perfect

Edinburgh site is a lovely site,very well placed to walk or cycle along the beautiful promenade which gives views of the Forth and the opposite shore.  A walk along the Cramond Riverside is also well worth a look as the Cramond Falls are a beautiful sight in any weather.Access to the city centre is also easy by car or public transport. There is a new Asda very near by as well as a Morrison's for any shopping needed. All the pitches and landscaping are meticulously kept by the site Managers who are always keen to help with anything their guests need. We only have one problem with this "Almost Perfect" site. The Managers keep the shower blocks very clean but can only keep clean the facilities that the Club provides. The showers really do need to be modernised and upgraded. We are used to visiting "no facility" sites so are inclined to use our own shower when visiting Edinburgh site but not every visitor has adequate facilities to use in their units for whatever reason. We know it's difficult on an "open all year" site but we would like to bet that the vast majority of members visiting this site would be happy to manage with 1 shower block whilst the other was being re fitted, maybe during a quiet period. Caravan Club, please help the lovely Managers here at Edinburgh to complete the circle of perfection by improving the shower blocks!!!!Come on members come to the rescue if you feel that an upgrade would really put the icing on this cake!!

Best site by far

Warmly welcomed as usual and despite being autumn the landscaping here is second to none. These Wardens have made a tremendous positive impact on this site. The pitches are immaculate, the hedges trimmed to perfection and the facilities spotlessly clean.  A great impression for our overseas tourists. We only live 18 miles away but love our chill out time here. PLEASE CLONE these Wardens for your other sites.

Great Site

There is so much good about this site; proximity to City Centre, ease of access to public transport, helpfulness of wardens, layout, size of pitches that it seems almost churlish to find something that detracts. But I have to mention the showers – which have plentiful hot water - but are ideal only for those less than 5’6” tall. I’m not the tallest of men, but when I’m looking down on the shower head…….. This small matter (pun intended) aside, I have no doubt we’ll be back.

Great site!

Love being able to explore Edinburgh and a short stroll takes you to the city's great bus service. Could have spent days in Chamber Street museum. Site very very clean and tidy and friendly wardens so helpful. Must get in and book time here next year.

Perfect for visiting Edinburgh

As you approach this site you are not expecting to find such a gem. So when you turn in it is a very pleasant surprise. Well kept with excellent facilities. A short walk to the promenade and beach. We were lucky to experience a beautiful day and it was gorgeous. Great transport links. The only downside is the noise from being on the flight approach to Edinburgh airport but you can't have everything. Full marks for the compact but interesting on site dog walk that made great use of a relatively small space and the humour that went with it. Will definitely return.

Edinburgh CC

Excellent site in the suburbs of Edinburgh. Friendly welcome from the staff, and an impression of quiet efficiency. The site has a large choice of pitches, which you can choose yourself. Site and facilities are spotlessly clean.  Great toilet and shower block, and water/elsan points in abundance.

Some reviews are noting noise from traffic and airplanes. Let me put my perspective on this... The traffic noise from the adjacent road is not unacceptable. We were pitched almost beside the road, and found the noise level to be quite acceptable. If you choose your pitch toward the centre of the site, noise from the road will be reduced. Yes, there is aircraft noise, but again, it's not disturbing.  Let's be clear. If you want a site which is 15 minutes drive from the centre of a city with a population of best part of 500,000 there WILL be people around you. Those people need to travel. (Ask yourself - How did you get there? - You drove past someone's house, making traffic noise...) Of course there will be a little road noise, and there will be some aircraft noise, too. It's the payoff for being in a centre of population. If you want total silence, choose a site in the middle of nowhere, and spend an hour driving to Edinburgh each day. If you want a fantastic site 15 minutes from the centre of the capital of our country, book here. I would hope that we're all sensible enough to realise that there are times for chilling our in the backwaters of the country, and times for being a little closer to the hub of things. We're already booked to go back to this site in 3 weeks time, and it cannot come quickly enough.

Nice location, friendly staff, very clean and well kept! The site is not too close to the CBD, but quiet in return. It was our first caravan club site, and we were definitely off to a good start here!
