Edinburgh Caravan Club Site Reviews

5.0
Klaus-Peter A.July 2023
Advantages
Relatively close to the city center, very clean, spacious pitches, friendly staff
Negatives
No restaurant in the immediate vicinity
Nice place for sightseeing
Very nice pitch in relative proximity to the city center. The pitches are spacious and can be chosen freely on arrival. Very clean washrooms and toilets despite high occupancy (no waiting times at any time).
We cycled from the pitch to the city center, which was very easy along the sea and via a cycle... path on a former railroad line.
The only downside is that there is no restaurant for dinner and no store in the immediate vicinity. Nevertheless, full marks for the place.

Note: As newcomers to Scotland, this was the first time we recognized the advantage of a gravel pitch. Despite heavy rain, there was no mud on the doorstep and, thanks to the correct choice of stones, it was easy to walk on barefoot.

Advantages
Beautiful places clean great connection by bus to Edinburgh
Negatives
Aircraft noise
Well located for sightseeing. Unfortunately aircraft noise3
Very well-kept campsite. Extra small park for dogs - attention not completely fenced! Good and clean sanitary facilities, also with separate washbasins.
Unfortunately close to the airport and therefore noisy from the airplanes. Great connection by bus to Edinburgh.

By FAR the most expensive - but extremely well maintained
The site is extremely clean and well-kept, the staff friendly and helpful. But at 39 pounds (1 motorhome, 2 adults) it was by far the most expensive on our Scotland tour. The airport can't be ignored either, but it's not so bad that you can't sleep. The site is ideal for sightseeing trips to Edinburgh.

Advantages
Well-kept, close to the city, quiet. Helpful staff.
Negatives
none (except for the bicycle thieves and the staff can't help that)
Beautiful place
At the Camping and Caravan Club site in Edinburgh, the reception warned us about bike thieves when we checked in. On the very first night, an attempt was actually made to steal our beautifully laid out and well-kept site with friendly and helpful staff. Minibus (every half hour from the site) or public... bus to Edinburgh city center. ATTENTION: At the Camping and Caravan Club site in Edinburgh, the reception warns you of bicycle thieves when you check in. On the very first night, an attempt was actually made to break into our bike locks. For this reason, the campsite offers special lockable containers for storing bikes, which you should use. This is not a devaluation of the campsite, on the contrary, the staff were always very open-minded and helpful in this matter. We would choose this campsite again at any time.

Advantages
Location, proximity to the city center, cleanliness and very nice staff
Top for sightseeing
The sites of the British Caravanning Club are actually all in very good condition, so you can't really go wrong. The site is ideal for sightseeing in Edinburgh and the region. A tip if you are on the promenade along the waterfront. One kilometer to the west, you can use a path to a small island, but only at low tide.

Advantages
Location by the sea
Negatives
Expensive
Beautiful but expensive
on our round trip this was the most expensive place, as a non-member there are hefty surcharges, so that we came with WoMo and 2 'adults with dog to 83 GBP for 2 nights ;o( (22-24.07.2018) The facilities are all well maintained and clean. The flight noise is only bearable because Edinburgh is not one... of the busiest airports. Location to the North Sea / Firth of Fourth possible in a few minutes with the dog, great. The location to the center of Edinburgh is also good.

Advantages
Convenient for visits to Edinburgh. Working WiFi
Ideal for Edinburgh
The site is well managed and can also be booked in advance, which could be useful in the high season. We didn't find the site straight away as it isn't very well signposted. Basic groceries such as bread and milk are available on site. As almost everywhere in the UK, you are told exactly how to position... your caravan. The pitches are pleasantly large, mostly paved, which is an advantage in the Scottish weather. The whole site makes a very well-kept and intact impression. The proximity to the airport didn't bother us. The site also offers WiFi, which works well (2.50 pounds/24 h)

The site is easy to find and the reception is friendly. The pitches are more than big enough and graveled. The sanitary buildings are very clean and modern - not a matter of course in the UK. I personally hardly noticed the "aircraft noise" and therefore didn't find it annoying. Please note - the public... bus station directly in front of the campsite has been closed. However, a shuttle bus runs directly from the CP to the city. However, we used the public buses, whereby the next station can be reached on foot in 15 minutes and the connection to the center is via 2 lines. Catering is possible in 2 supermarkets, which are approx. 2.5 - 3 km away

The site belongs to the Caravan Club and is very well managed. The pitches are gravelled and separated from each other by lawns. Some pitches border directly on a road (separated by a hedge). The site itself is close to the airport approach path. Paths and green areas are very well maintained. Very clean... facilities for fresh water, waste water, toilet disposal and waste. Clean washrooms, exclusively with individual washing cubicles. The camping store offers an extremely rudimentary range of food, no shopping facilities within walking distance. W-LAN costs 5 pounds / 5 h, valid on all Caravan Club pitches. The public bus station in front of the site is no longer served. The nearest bus stop is a 10-15 minute walk away. However, there is a regular shuttle service from the site to the city center. The banks of the Firth of Forth are a 10-15 minute walk away. There is a beautiful riverside promenade.

The site is one of the best in Scotland in terms of facilities and condition. People usually come here to visit Edinburgh. The walk to the bus stop and the bus ride take almost an hour. But other places aren't any closer. Aircraft noise can be heard, but is still bearable (not directly in the flight path).

A beautiful, well-kept campsite just outside Edinburgh. There is a separate meadow for tents with a covered cooking area (great in the rain!). Toilet block was clean and cleaned daily. Bus stop was unfortunately about 10-15 mins away and it takes a while to get into town. The campsite is right by the sea, so it got quite cold at night and we were a bit chilly.
