Why stay here ...
Edinburgh Club Site is an ideal location for your holiday getaway. Situated on the Firth of Forth, the caravan park 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 Site 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 Queen's official Scottish residence), stroll past the historic Scottish Parliament Building or enjoy the tranquil green expanse of Princes Street Gardens. The caravan site 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 place to stay for the Six Nations
This is the second time we have stayed at the Edinburgh club site and will certainly return.
Access to the site is stress-free and simple from the Edinburgh City Bypass. Check-in is brief, professional and very helpful.
The staff are always happy to help and keep the site spick and span. There's an information centre with maps and leaflets about what to do in the area.
The site houses a lot of vans but it never feels overcrowded.
All the facilities you need are on site (water, EHU, grey disposal, recycling and bins, clean and warm shower and toilets, plus laundry and washing up areas) and well maintained.
There is a great walk along the Firth of Forth within five minutes of your door. Public transport is regular, inexpensive and reliable.
It's close to some excellent cycle and walking routes in to the city or along the estuary.

Fantastic Site Very Clean
Spent the weekend at this great site. Wardens very friendly and helpful, site is kept well maintained and the facilities are very clean, Lots to do in the area with nice walks along the prom ideal for walking the dog also very nice café there are very good takeaways close by with a good choice, menus available in the information room. Highly recommended site.
Pleasant Stay - No Shop
Stayed here early January. Very friendly reception, found a flat pitch, so no levelling blocks required (some have gentle slopes).
We felt the site is missing a trick; there is no shop, you can't buy anything or order fresh bread for the next morning.
The site is about 500 yards from nearest bus stop and then another 300 yards to the nearest store - so arrive with a full larder.
There is a great Riverside walk 500 yards from the site (in the opposite direction to the shops and bus stop).
The price of a bus ticket into the centre of Edinburgh is £1.70 - excellent value, plenty of buses.
Would have given the site 5 stars for peace and quiet but it is close to the flight path of the airport, so it could be quieter.
We live only 60 miles from the site but we will be using it again as it is an excellent location if you're having a night out in Edinburgh.
Fantastic Stay
I've just had a night here and it's been one of the best stays I've experienced. I had the warmest of welcomes and was given loads of information on the bus routes and fares. After pitching my caravan I took their advice and took the 10 min walk to the bus stop (number 27) and I paid £4 for a day ticket. The bus dropped me in George 4th Street and from there I had a really good walk around the city centre and stretched my calves walking up to the summit of Arthur's Seat. The site was superb, very well maintained, clean and the wash rooms were clean and warm. In the morning I went for another walk, this time turning left from the site and walking along the water front to Cramond Island. If you want walk to the island, which you can do at low tide, there are notices everywhere showing the times of the tide, sadly, I had missed the tide, so, couldn't get to the island. This site is definitely on my list of "must return" sites. Well done folks, see you again in the future.
Needs a facelift
Enjoyed a couple of nights here to visit the Christmas market. Wardens extremely nice and friendly. Us Scots won't pay the £6 return charge for the minibus service as we have free travel on the buses. About a twenty minute walk to the nearest bus stop and you can go straight to city centre. Buses are every 10 mins. We have been coming to this site for many years and it really is getting very tired and in need of a refurbish. Toilets don't flush well and certainly needs more shower cubicles.
