Great news - our hugely popular Edinburgh Club Campsite has recently been improved with two new facilities blocks, more serviced pitches, brand new laundry/dishwash rooms, improved motorhome waste and service points and a fantastic new dog/cycle wash.

Edinburgh Club Campsite is an ideal location for your holiday getaway. Situated on the Firth of Forth, the campsite provides easy access to Edinburgh, Europe's festival capital. You will be ideally located for the many attractions, both modern and historic, that this beautiful city has to offer.

Edinburgh is a friendly, cosmopolitan city. Edinburgh Club Campsite puts you within easy reach of some of its most famous landmarks. You can visit the castle which clings dramatically to a huge rock face (home to the Scottish Crown Jewels), walk down the Royal Mile to the Palace of Holyrood House (the King's official Scottish residence), stroll past the historic Scottish Parliament Building or enjoy the tranquil green expanse of Princes Street Gardens. The campsite location also ensures that you're well placed for the famously fun summer festivals, seaside strolls, a round or two of golf, Edinburgh Zoo and an almost unlimited choice of restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues.

The site is only a stone’s throw away from the waterfront where campers can walk along the promenade of Cramond and, only a short drive away, visitors can enjoy the popular coastal suburb of Portobello with its pubs, restaurants and shops.

Great wardens

The wardens were the main blessing on this site. A credit to the club. The site itself is beautiful. However, 4 single toilets for the men, on a site with approx 150 pitches is a big let down considering this has only recently been 'improved' at what must be considerable cost. The... Show more
