This large, popular site is located on the north-facing shore of the Firth of Forth, accessed by main trunk roads to the city. It's relatively new, and non-members are also welcome. The site is pristine, with quality facilities, making it a comfortable base from which motorcaravanners can explore the city and surrounding areas. It is also quiet, yet is well placed for those wanting activity as well as relaxation.
The main reception block is welcoming and provides a host of information for visitors to the area. All pitches are individually numbered and located in rows along the perimeter, and all are hardstanding, mainly on gravel. They are divided by a mixture of grass and hedges, and are well-served - their mains electric hook-up pillars also house satellite TV points (with limited channels available).
Site roadways are first-class tarmac and all pitches are easily accessed. Entry and exit is via security-coded barriers. Entry to the centrally-located toilet block is controlled by a push-button coded lock. The building is tastefully decorated, always heated, and the soft background music makes it very pleasant
to use.
Dogs are allowed and children are welcome. The children's play area is well equipped, with a soft bark chipping base, safely located to the rear of the site in its own enclosure. Such is the popularity of this site, and its location near to hillsides and
the city, that booking ahead is always advised - especially during school and public holidays.
Edinburgh is a great low-season attraction. After all, if you're off motorcaravanning in the close season, there can be few cities with more to do. There's the famous castle, Royal Mile and Holyrood Palace, which are all important attractions, but there's also the wonderful Museum of Scotland in Chambers Street and many different cultural events throughout the low season.
