This was a return visit to this site after eight year as we wanted to explore the city more. Generally facilities are fine if a bit dated and disappointing that the motorhome service points still need heavy covers to be lifted, especially as this is a very popular site with motorhomes from both home and abroad. The aircraft noise has certainly increased since our last visit, lasting well into the night. Obviously completely outside the control of the Club. There are two main options for getting into the City. There are a couple of frequent bus services from Muirhouse Parkway which is at least a three quarter of a mile walk from the site. The 27 bus is a direct route into and across the City or the 16 which also goes to the Centre but via the Ocean Terminal area where you can visit the Royal Yacht Britannia. The main downside is that I would not want to walk back from the bus when it was dark along an unlit road. The other option is the excellent fixed priced taxi service from outside reception which drops you off at the top of Princes Street. I was a little surprised when I rang the site prior to arrival to confirm the service was still running and the staff seem keen to point out it was nothing to do with them. Given that it is such an essential service for this site I imagined it would have been embraced a bit more! As the campsite is clearly run in conjunction with the City Council I am surprised the idea of diverting one of the buses along Marine Drive has not been explored. Putting all that to one side we enjoyed the couple of days we spent exploring Edinburgh. The 27 bus stops at the Botanic Gardens if you want to break your journey. We also visited Holyrood Palace and enjoyed a sunny Saturday afternoon in the Castle Gardens after a visit to the Portrait Gallery.
