Great Site

Just spent a weekend at this site and what a great site. Only criticism would be could be doing with a sign out on the road as almost missed the turning to the site. Great site set amongst tree’s and has some great walks. Easy access to pubs and restaurants in Markinch only 5 minutes walk and supermarket about 5 minute drive. Facilities as absolutely spotless and well done to the staff as possibly cleanest I have ever used. Will certainly be visiting again as was really made to fell welcome and very quiet.

Another 1st Class Club Site

We stayed at this immaculate site in early June. It is a very busy site and for some reason several nice, level grass pitches were coned off for several days whilst we were there. That apart we were able to find a pitch. Ours and quite a few other on the site were on a slope so you may well need to bare this in mind. The site is very sheltered with lots of mature trees. The wardens were very helpful and friendly and they kept the site in tip top condition. Nice touches were the help yourself herb and strawberry tubs! The ace in the hole for us was the Balbirnie park next door. There are paths a plenty, open spaces and woodland to explore. Whilst we were staying the Rhododendrons were in full bloom. They have an extensive collection and the size, colour and variety were just fabulous. Our dogs were able to have a good run around every day. There is plenty of places to visit both near and far. If you like a beach walk then Largo bay only a few miles away and dogs are allowed all year round. We will return next year!

Lovely site, but why close the only toilet block from 10.30am-12pm every day???

Nice site, excellent location for the local pub in Markinch and Balbirnie House itself. Lovely staff and beautifully kept, toilets/showers are very clean as you'd expect. But why close the only toilet block completely from 10.30am-12pm? If you're a late riser, or you want to visit the facilities before check-out (which lets face it, is when you'll suddenly feel the call of nature before getting on the road), you're stuffed. To be perfectly honest, that probably will preclude us from visiting again as it was a pest. The toilets weren't back in action even past noon so had to leave regardless and use the facilities at Asda in Dunfermaline instead as we had somewhere to be and couldn't hang around waiting for them to reopen.

Balbirnie Caravan Park , Markinch.

Just back from a stay at Balbirnie . Usual high standards so no problems there . Seems though the Gentleman using the band system for the loos haven’t quite got the hang of things ( or maybe don’t care enough to be bothered ) . Weather was great , which always helps and the Public Bar in Markinch open for trade . Good location and lovely peaceful quiet site . Will return , at some later date ……….

A right royal in the kingdom of fife.

First visit to this site, will definitely not be the last. A very friendly welcome at reception quick and efficient all COVID precautions were explained. All site facilities open and subject to the current COVID restrictions in the area. All facilities were cleaned to a very high standard. Short walk to Markinch and local shops. Really enjoyed our stay as it was a ideal location to visit this part of Fife. Will plan to visit this area again soon and this site in particular.

Peace and tranquility

This site is in such a great location with shops and a hotel for meals just 5 minutes walk away and a beautiful country park on the doorstep to explore on foot and by bike. It also has very good public transport links with a good bus service to nearby coastal resorts and a train station just a few minutes walk away. The site itself is lovely - lots of trees and planting - has a more informal feel than a lot of the club sites. To top it all the wardens are friendly and helpful and it was a great price.

Balbirnie Caravan site

nice clean well looked after site. toilets and showers good. hand saniters available. have been there 3 times (. in last 18 months.) friendly wardens. downside is pitch markers unclear ,hard to find in semi dark or during rain showers ,( badly marked ). not really child friendly , nothing for them to do . . pitches mostly in shade , so many trees. lots of drips to keep you up all night. site has a damp feel to it due to being in a woods. On the plus its great for dogs , massive park and woods on the door-step. good for walkies. not much to do in Markinch itself , theres 2 shops well stocked for food supplies. public house was closed on my last visit (covid-19). great site if you want to chill out and laze about in peace and quiet . not advised for adrenalin junkies and party-people. suits me though , and i will return (if i can get a booking ).

Lovely wooded site

NB: I Have no idea if it is good for families but have to give it a rating! Please change that CMC...it should't be an essential cos a great many of us will not know! Anyway, a great find. Quiet, lots of trees and parkland around, with a selection of pitches (some on grass), dappled shade and sort of different "glades". The usual club excellent facilities (showers and loos open with the coloured band system) and friendly staff. Pitches are a good size and the bit I was in (a little bit overlooked by houses, but I didn't care) had a little hedge between each pitch...very French municipal style...lovely. Just a short walk into Markinch which doesn't seem to have much but there was a decent sized high street supermarket which seemed well stocked. And a really good price - £9ish for campervan and one adult.

balbirnie site

my wife and I are currently staying at balburnie site, it is an excellent sit with good facilities ,helpfull staff ,good transport links for public transport. However the jewel in the crown are the staff who keep a difficult site to maintain in 5star condition, they are credit to the club.This our 5th visit to this site and we always enjoy our visits,the only downside is the weather it is like winter.

Peaceful Retreat

I was there for three days and had such a wonderful time. The staff are friendly, helpful. The toilets in the shower block were spotless. The campsite was super clean and tidy. Our stay was fabulous and will be returning next year.
