We have used this sight many times, we have family who live in Edinburgh . Our only criticism is that there is no longer a bus stop outside.
We have always been made very welcome.
We are back later this year.
Everything made easy
Easy to find and approach, can avoid the city centre altogether. Lovely location, green and beach across the road. Lovely helpful wardens, well laid out, usual excellent CC amenities.Thoroughly recommended.
Base for Edinburgh visit
Must say how friendly and helpful the warden was, she even lent me a hammer when mine broke! Facilities, whilst a little dated, were immaculately clean and site kept tidy. Good base for exploring the city, only a short walk to the bus stop. You do hear the planes coming in to land, but didn't bother us. Would recommend to anyone.
A good site
Friendly staff, easy access (we have a 49' long outfit) quiet site really handy for Edinburgh with good public transport. Clean and tidy.
Thank you.

Regular visitor
Lovely site , plenty of clean level pitches and excellent facilities ! We are regular visitors and the staff are always superb. Handy minibus into town and the beach across the road for the dogs.
Will be back.......again and again !

A great site
This is a clean well run site with helpful and friendly wardens, and it is conveniently located for access to the city of Edinburgh.
Superb for a City Break
This site, which is maintained to a very high standard, is ideally situated for visits to Edinburgh and the surrounding area, there is good walking for you and dogs along the waterside and across to Cramond Island (see the tide tables) there is also a superb (dog friendly) pub in Cramond village.
we chose a pitch by the roadside which was a bit noisy during the day but quiet at nights, but next time we will go further back from the road
christmas and new year
we always go back to this site for Christmas and new year, very friendly site, buses run regular, £3;50 all-day and you can use the tram in that price. Also if you use the bus new years eve you can go back in at night, also the buses are free to get you back to the site (only a 6 minute walk) cheaper than the bus that picks you up from the site new years eve £10,always lots to do -walking cycling, sea front and of course the SHOPS for the ladies, German market ok Dec 30 candle lit parade worth going to (but be at the front and not the back has you miss the end ) Only problem last year we had no snow, I would recommend all caravanners and motorhome go Christmas and new year to the site less hassle than being at home plus all the Christmas decoration light up the site and makes it Christmas
week-end break
Decided to have a week-end in Edinburgh so chose the Caravan Club site as we could easily access Edinburgh from the site. Warden on arrival was friendly and helpful. Toilets spotless ,water warm so no complaints about that. Good site to enjoy what Edinburgh has to offer. Only mistake was we had booked a super pitch which we did not require as we were in a motorhome. Directions easy to follow.
Welcoming & Nice Location
We stayed here back in November for 2 nights with our 2 children whom are under 5.
We accessed the family bathroom, which has good facilities, however a little on the cold side, however I don't think there is much that could be done about this as it's the building, possibly an increase in draft proofing around the door frame.
As we were here in the winter we were all kitted out for the weather, although disappointing not to have a drying room facility.
The location is great, there is the walkway alongside the river up to Cramond where you can take bikes etc. The downside is the road that the site is located on has NO streetlights, we had gone to spend the day in Edinburgh using public transport as we are happy walking, however ended walking back in pitch dark from top road where the bus drops you off!! Not great at the best of times, especially not with little ones. Thankfully we had the buggy and the elder one had his bike with flashing wellies!!! We were both using our torches on our mobile phones!! I appreciate that the site does not have control over this but may more people highlighting this could help them build a case for street lighting?
The site itself was not very well lit, with some of the lights not working and the lights that were working were not giving out much light.
The wardens were very helpful and accommodating, helping to fix boys bike etc - which made one happy little boy!
