Ideal site, great location
Slatebarns
Excellent little site, well looked after and in an ideal location. Just a short walk away to bus stop with frequent service into Edinburgh and beyond. Short car drive away is huge retail park for all your shopping needs. Very pleasant owner, added bonus of toilet on site. Definitely recommended, great price and thanks for a very pleasant stay
Great CL Site
Slatebarns
4 nights July 2023
6m Campervan
Stayed 4 nights as we were meeting friends from USA in Edinburgh.
Everything you need and would expect from a CL site contrary to the review from Moonraker in April, who perhaps change his name to MOANraker 22 as it would appear that wherever they go they are never happy.
Ideally situated for local walks, pub, tearoom and bus into Edinburgh.
Booked in advance and arrived about 5pm, pitched up and were happy with everything.
First night 6 units, second night 6 units, last 2 nights 5 units.
Plenty of space for every unit and everyone was happy.
Owners Robin and Moira are a great couple and as always gave a warm welcome
Would highly recommend
Will be back
Campervan 2 night stay
Slatebarns
We stayed largely as we wanted to head into Edinburgh for a day to visit the National Museum. Site well kept. I note other reviews that mention over occupation, no problems whilst we were there, 3 vans the first night, 5 the second. Facilities were fine, and a toilet available on site. Owner friendly, not difficult to find in order to pay. There is a larger site next to the CL so just need to be aware to go into the right spot. Again, note from other reviews a narrow road down, I have to say it's absolutely fine, not a long road, a large passing place half way, and would be straightforward to reverse if needed. Site very good value, sometimes not sure what folk expect from a CL! Next to Rosslyn Chapel but be aware you need to book, it's not open access. Bus stop a few minutes walk away, bus direct to the centre, very regular, took about 50 minutes each way. Great value, especially of one or both of you have a bus pass, only £2 each way if not. Highly likely to use the site again, definitely recommend.
Ignores CL rules and overbooks
Slatebarns
Apart from the great location near to the Rosslyn Chapel, this is very ordinary, though decently maintained.
BUT - there were SIX vans on the CL, one on the fresh water tap bay blocking it for others and almost nose to nose with ours.
When I asked the owner why more than five on a CAMC CL, he smiled and said “I canna count!”
I said CAMC members can count, he replied that he gets non-arrivals so overbooks.
Maybe he should take a deposit, and stop taking cash (undeclared maybe?).
All left a bad feeling, and would not want to recommend.

Excellent CL
Slatebarns
We stayed at this CL for 7 nights. The pitches are hardstanding and fairly well spaced out. The owners met us on arrival and were lovely people. The site is a stone throw from Rosslyn Chapel and the bus route into Edinburgh is a short walk away in Roslin where there are shops and pubs. Access to the site is very good. The site is very well kept and the chemical and grey waste facilities are very good. Dog walking is good. The only minor issue was that the owner had 6 outfits on each night we were there. I would highly recommend this CL and intend to visit again next year.
