Good for families

Lovely site on the banks of the Forth

Visited here for the first time over the New Year.    We were made to feel welcome and advised to choose a pitch a call back for toilet/barrier key.   Not having been before we were unsure where to pitch and unwittingly pitched a bit too near the road, so noise was a little bit of an issue as was the flight path to the nearby airport.     Over New Year the site offered a shuttle service for the torchlight procession and also for NYE celebrations at £10 each return.  We didn't make use of this or the normal shuttle service at £6 each return but it was nice the offer was there.     We went into Edinburgh twice by the local bus - a short walk from the site to the bus stop.  The number 27 or the number 16 took you straight to Princes St and ran every 10 minutes.  The number 16 was slightly longer but more scenic route via Leith where you could alight for Britannia if you wished.  The prices were ideal - £1.50 for any single journey or £4 for a day rover.    So £6 return for the two of us - bargain.  The local pub - a Toby carvery was within walking distance, although uphill.   We had hot drinks there one day in their comfortable lounge and a full carvery meal on New Years Day - all very reasonable.     Nearby are cycle routes and walk along the shoreline, either towards Leith or to Crammond which is a couple of miles and a further mile onto the island at low tide.  The site has good facilities, the pitches are large, reasonably spaced and obviously flat and hardstanding.  There is a play area and a dog walk, although most owners seemed to walk past our van everyday!    The showers were hot and nice, the facilities block warm and very clean.  No litter at all and well maintained by the wardens, although felt a bit sorry for them clearing up after selfish vanners who don't sort the recycling properly and/or leave non recyclable waste near the bins.   It just adds to the wardens work.   Have booked again for New Year 2016 - can't wait.
