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.

We used the campsite this year as our final week on a tour of three weeks. We received a very friendly welcome, with the staff reserving a particular pitch for medical reasons. This is very much appreciated. Our pitch was large and flat, great news after a couple of slanting... Show more

Bit disappointing and expensive
At over £60 per night for a two people and members it is expensive for what it provides. Facility blocks were new and clean and mostly functioning but massively oversubscribed for number of people on site. Had to queue for sit down toilets and showers at all times. Not good... Show more

Clean facilities but wrong layout
The shower block is clean and very well kept. But, it is set out wrongly with the showers and sinks being next door to the toilets! It’s not ideal brushing your teeth with someone next door flushing continually! A row of showers and a row of toilets would have... Show more
