As motorhome beginners, we had never stayed at a club site before. We were given a great welcome and now know which way round to park and hook up. The site is fantastic, warm shower and toilet block that is really spotless, large dish washing area and minutes from the village which has 2 good shops and a big park.
Our dog loved romping through the woods which are at the gates, he had a fantastic time!
The wardens are stars, really friendly and able to give great advice to complete novices.
We ate at the Balbirnie House Hotel twice, dogs are welcome in the lounge and they set up a table in the drawing room for us on the Saturday as they had a large wedding reception.
Another first
We have just spent a great week at Balbirnie. If, like us, you park up and then make the most of your bus pass, this is the site for you. The bus stops situated at the park gates give you access to the whole of Fife and much further. We had a great week exploring during the day and chilling, on site, at night. The facilities are spotless and the wardens work very hard especially clearing leaves which, at this time, must be thanklessThe charming town of Markinch is a short walk away and is well served by two general stores and the railway station. The adjacent Balbirnie Park gives access to some beautiful, all seasons, walks. Unlike me, do remember that the site barrier is lifted by pressing the button on the remote control they give you when you arrive, oh how we laughed!:)
Fife Favourite
This was our first visit to Balbirnie for several years and we were not disappointed. The staff here were very welcoming and helpful. The facilities are kept to a very high standard of cleanliness. There are very good safe areas for walking dogs within the nearby Balbirnie Park. The Balbirnie House Hotel is also situated here where the meals are very good. There is also an excellent golf course situated within the park.

A wonderful site and a most helpful warden
I was only able to stay for one night and arrived quite late. The warden was charming and most helpful and also recommended some fine places, around 5 minutes from the campsite, where I could get some food.
The site was clean, tidy and it is clearly well-managed. I would have liked to have stayed for longer but had to move on but I will return to this site.
Also great fun watching the squirrels scamper around the site.
Overall, I would say the best thing about the site was the warden who was most delightful.

Scottish tour
Good location next to park with great walks and also close to Glenrothes for any nescessaries. There are some grass pitches which i think are in the best place on site but they would be better if they were hard standing as when i visited they were all closed . The warden did say that these pitches had been waterlogged all season which must mean that the club is losing revenue. Some of the hard standing pitches are overlooked very close by houses its like being in the back garden its a shame because with a little screaning the site would be excellent.
Excellent Site
Have used this site several times over past two years and also been pleased with the friendly welcome from site wardens on arrival and during our stay. They keep the site and facilities in tip top condition and are a credit to the CaMC.

Cleanest and nicest facilities we have found recently
Stayed a couple of nights last week, swithered about staying a third night but had a delivery coming so had to go home. We were lucky with the weather, facilities first class once we got the hang of the door entry system! Lovely dish washing area, overall, will certainly go back. Very friendly staff who were always busy doing something round the site but always giving a cheery greeting when they saw you. People with dogs on site seemed to keep them well under control and no messes like we've seen on sites recently, found other persons on site very friendly as well.
Excellent, would highly recommend!
Very friendly welcome from the wardens who were happy to help with any queries/questions, with this being our first outing with the caravan. Pitches and facilities very clean and well maintained. The pitch area we were in was quiet and spacious. Was dog friendly, which was great for having two young dogs ourselves. Great having the spacious grass area right outside the gates to walk the dogs. Will definitely be booking again and would highly recommend to others!
A piece of heaven
This is a great site in an even better location set in the Balbirnie estate, there's a hotel where you hear a piper playing for weddings an 18 hole golf course that we played a huge parkland to walk dogs it has woodlands and a bridle path plus a craft centre. It's just outside a small village with 3 pubs, 2 small supermarkets and a chemist plus a Chinese takeaway. The wardens are great and do a brilliant job keeping this large yet private site clean and tidy, the facilities are spotless, just one downside our dog was harassed by the many squirrels she wanted to chase them all
