  • Friendly adults-only site with views over the Firth of Forth estuary
  • A five-minute drive from the coast and 20 minutes from St Andrews
  • On-site restaurant with homecooked food; good public transport links
Aiming to get away to the scenic East Neuk of Fife or St Andrews’ home of golf? With views over the Firth of Forth estuary, Monturpie Caravan Park might fit the bill nicely. This family-owned adults-only site is just five minutes’ drive from Scotland's east coast (including the Fife Coastal Path), with the university town of St Andrews 20 minutes’ drive to the north. A friendly atmosphere runs freely here and pitches are well spaced out to provide plenty of peace. For more homely vibes, you’ll have the option of sampling homecooked food and baked goods in the site’s small licensed restaurant (open from Wednesday to Saturday between late morning and mid-afternoon). Other facilities include a heated toilet, shower block and a launderette with disabled facilities. Public transport’s a champ here, as links from the site entrance include express coaches to Edinburgh and Glasgow or local buses to nearby walking havens. Of course, Fife is a mecca for golf fans too and this area doesn’t disappoint, as there are a couple of golf courses five minutes’ drive away. When you feel like just letting your feet take you somewhere instead, the local village is 10 minutes’ walk away. It’s home to a small food shop and a popular hotel with quality meals (yes please, steak night and Sunday roasts). Foodie spots pull through elsewhere too, as there are a number of good-quality restaurants a short drive away, including a Michelin-starred place.

What customers say

A top spot for adults seeking peace, with cracker sea views & ripper hosts. Spacious sites, spick-and-span loos/showers. Their pub grub's a hit! Great base for exploring or a coastal stroll. Most reckon it's a winner, keen to head back.

Jenni M.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Lovely and quiet as adult only.
Very clean and well maintained.
Take away available on weekends - although I didn’t have any.
Short walk into centre of the village.
Beautiful surrounds.
Dog poo bin provided and dog walk area signposted.
The Bowhouse farmer’s/artists market not too far away is well worth a visit too. It has eateries and beverages which looked amazing.
Thoroughly lovely owner Duncan who was extremely helpful.

Disliked Only 1 shower for females for quite a large site.
Further away field could do with an additional toilet.

Liked Lovely views from the site. The facilities are simple but clean and well kept.

Disliked While there is no wifi (we understand it is coming later in the year) there is a good 4g signal on both Vodafone (and) 02.

From the manager: Hi Roy ,Many thanks for your comments and found everything satisfactory . With regards to wi-fi you were on a pitch possibly not best suited for reception . I can confirm work is ongoing to update wi-fi to cover all of the site .

Local attractions

So, St Andrews (20 minutes’ drive) has caught your eye, but where will you descend upon first? Golf games don’t get much more historic than the Old Course (20 minutes) and those of you who are fully into your golfing lifestyle might want to peep into the golf museum in the town. Perhaps Craigtoun Country Park (20 minutes) might be your cup of tea, especially for picnics, playgrounds and walking trails. And how about somewhere a little more remote? The walking trails at Lomond Hills Regional Park (35 minutes) or Loch Leven (50 minutes) are a good shout for relaxation. You’ll get to go wildlife spotting at the same time, especially since Loch Leven is a nature reserve (and many of the trails are cycle-friendly so you can cover plenty of ground). Scotland’s Secret Bunker (15 minutes) is certainly pretty underground, in the literal sense too, as this Cold War bunker has been turned into a museum. And for another historic hidey hole, you'll want to head to Kellie Castle (15 minutes) for its arts and crafts garden and exhibitions.
