What customers say
Top-notch, tidy campsite with brilliant, modern amenities like showers and a kitted-out kitchen. Guests rave about the bloke-ish staff, roomy spots, and ace base for Edinburgh and local walks. Minor gripes: a bit of plane noise sometimes, and not heaps of shops on site. All in all, chuck a recommendation at it.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Park was ideal for young children.

Liked The site was well laid out and clean. We were close to the washing up room which we also used for watching tv and playing cards at the tables in there.

Just right, great facilities, helpful friendly staff, great showers
Powered grass site
Liked the size of the campsite - it's not too big. The little shop, the reception, the friendly staff, the quietness, the facilities. Most of all the ease of getting into Edinburgh, we stayed there because we'd booked the Tattoo. Oh and the showers! Amazing hot showers - imperative when camping!

Liked Quiet location with lovely grassy areas. Play area for the kids. Shower and toilet facilities lovely warm and clean. Only place I've seen that had actually cooking facilities with pots and pans tables and chairs. Great campsite.

Liked Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Die Küche mit Kochfeld war gut eingerichtet. Hinzu kommt ein kleiner Shop beim Check-In in welchem man alles nötige kriegt.
Disliked Die Duschen mussten man ca. alle drei Sekunden erneut betätigen. Hinzu kommt, dass die Duschen bischen wenig Druck hatten. Auch war die Anzahl an Duschen und WC bischen wenig.

Liked L’endroit est vraiment chouette avec les animaux et l’environnement . Il y a beaucoup de chemin à parcourir si vous voulez vous promener
Disliked Franchement je peux pas dire que je n’est pas aimé quelque chose. Le problème c’est le manque d’hygiène chez les autres campeurs qui ne nettoie pas après leur passage, l’hygiène n’est pas donnée à tout le monde. C’est pour ça je ne blâme pas le personnel qui était sympa et a l’écoute.
