Really great experience

This was our first taste of Caravan Club sites. Really positive experience that will encourage us to repeat the experience soon. Great for our dogs too.

Excellent site location

This site was in an excellent location to visit the city good  bus route and transport available by minibus from site. Down side directly under flight path no facilities for youngsters a very small play area facilities were good most wardens were friendly a couple of exceptions.maybe just a off day  we will certainly revisit lovely walk along promenade overall a well maintained site and well worth the visit.

Wonderful site

Close to the City, but very quiet (planes excepting, but they don't fly all night). Quite nice to plane spot. Warden's very helpful. Facilities spotless and warm. Great meal at Miller & Carter at Barnton. Buses every 20 mins, but take a torch if returning after dark down the path! A jewel of a site. We hope to return in the future.

Nice site in a great location but.......

The site was in a great location with about a 7 minute walk to the bus stop for buses into Edinburgh. Shame the service from outside the site gates has now been terminated. If you are relying on satellite for your TV, you may struggle to find a suitable pitch when the site is busy. The site is under the flight path for Edinburgh Airport. The flights seemed to stop about midnight but on the Saturday night / Sunday morning, the were four flights coming in to land after midnight which woke us both. My main concern was with the hot water at the dishwashing area. The water was extremely hot yet some of the hot taps worked in reverse & it seemed they had undergone botched repairs. Twice I scalded myself after losing concentration momentarily while rinsing plates. Instead of turning the water off, the tap dispensed water at full power.  This is hypocritical of the Caravan Club where they have removed irons from the laundry rooms due to the risk of someone burning themselves yet they have some taps that have undergone a botched repair dispensing scalding hot water. What made it worse, some of the hot taps operated in the correct direction so there was no consistency. If this had occurred at my place of work, the taps would have been taken out of service until they could operate as designed.

Great site

Hard to imagine you are so near a city whilst camping here. Good base for the Falkirk wheel - a must. Had been to Edinburgh before so just explored countryside.  Lovely cause way along the Firth of Forth which is worth walking - Apparently at low tide you can walk to the Isle of Crammond. We shall come again.

Holiday August 12th to 26th

We stayed on a service pitch which is luxury but we did notice quite a smell in the van if the grey outlet hose was left in the drain, we did not have this problem at Barnard Castle. The facilities whilst very clean did seem rather tired, the washing machine and drier were very tired. I also feel that some of the trees on site could do with topping as they do stop the sun. The site is very well situated with a good bus service to the city and the promenade on the Firth of Forth is superb and only 10 minutes walk from the site. I would recommend this site to friends.

Very Nice Site, Great Location

We stayed at the beginning of Sep 2015, the staff were all friendly and very helpful, again you get to pick which pitch you want, which I like, we had a really nice pitch in the sun so great for sitting out, the facilities were very clean and tidy so no complaints, there is a fish and chip van that comes in on a Fri and Sat and I can recommend it, it was very fresh and good, the site is located just beside the waterfront so great for walks and cycling, the bus route to Edinburgh is about a five minute walk if you use the new path at the right had side of the site, the buses are easy to use, you will get all the info on this at reception, or you can use the campsites own bus service to Ediburgh and back. I would recommend this site we had a really great stay and enjoyed Edinburgh very much.

Handy for Edinburgh

We had a pitch that was adjacent to the road and had quite a bit of disturbance from road noise early in the morning. If we use the site again, we will pitch on the further side. The facilities are a little tired and are accessed by key code for some reason. Pitches Are quite well spaced and fairly level. There is a bus route in to the city about 10 minutes walk away, or a minibus at intervals throug the day. The site is a little away from shops and pubs unless you have a car.m

my favourite

From the warm welcome to the immaculate site, great facilities which were clean and well maintained, my only moan is that I had to leave at end of holiday.  Will be back.
