"Nice for sightseeing - We were here on our way back from the Highlands for a tour of the city and the Tattoo. The site is easily accessible on the outskirts of the city and the reception was friendly and easy. We stupidly opted for a grass pitch. A gravel pitch would definitely have been better as we were more or less standing in a mud hole after a day of rain (no influence on the rating, we could have avoided this by choosing something else). The sanitary buildings were of varying quality. One is currently being rebuilt, so something will probably change here in 2024. Until then, there are definitely not enough showers and the condition and cleanliness of the ladies' area in particular leave a lot to be desired. From the campsite, you can be in the city in 30 minutes by bus or car. Due to the topography (very hilly) and the poor condition of some of the roads, cycling is not recommended. Parking in the parking garage in the city is very expensive (about 24 pounds for a few hours). Tip for food: The store is ok, but doesn't offer the selection I would expect for a place of this size. The pub 'The Stables' is not recommended from our point of view, at least for food. We had by far the worst shrimps and the worst fish and chips of our trip (and expensive too).

"Super campsite - We stayed here for 2 nights to visit Edinburgh. Nice place, clean newly renovated sanitary facilities. Price OK (only about half as much as the other campsite in Edinburgh. Highly recommended!

"Good bus connection to the city - The campsite has large pitches and is ideally located for the bus stop to Edinburgh. But that's about it. The sanitary facilities are cramped, obviously older and unkempt. There are no storage facilities in the showers. We visited eight campsites in three weeks, none of them had such dirty sanitary facilities and none of them were so expensive. 2 nights were enough...

"Nice campsite - The arrival was well signposted and easy. We were greeted in a friendly and pleasant manner. The pitch we booked in advance turned out to be great and well located. The wash house was quite close and the water tap not far away. The showers are spacious, but there could be a few more. The Cp looks very well-kept. The famous English lawn! The staff are very keen to keep it in optimum condition, which unfortunately cannot be transferred to the wash house! I was very disappointed. It did not look like daily cleaning! I would like to recommend the Stable Bar. The food there is excellent and the atmosphere is incredibly cozy. You can buy a limited amount of groceries for your daily needs at the reception or in the nearby farm store. A bus stop not far from the Cp, about 10 minutes walk, takes us to the old town of Edinburgh in 20 minutes. The train takes you comfortably from Edingurgh to Glasgow in 40 minutes for about 13 pounds. The bus ride from the Cp to the Ocean Terminal also proved to be worthwhile. Conclusion, a good campsite for a city tour Edinburgh & Glasgow.

"Good starting point for Edinburgh - We had to spend a night here on 21.07.2018 as our originally planned pitch was only available for the following day. The site is large and has too few sanitary facilities, some of which were still closed. The price is ok. Disposal options are also "sporty" here - the campervan stands at an angle and you can't get rid of anything ;o) Price 33.50 GBP for camper van and 2 adults

"optimal for CityCP - We were surprised to find such a nice, quiet CP within the bypass (Edinburgh's highway bypass), surrounded by nature ! I can only agree with my predecessor's description of how to get into the city, but it would have been good to know that Edinburgh's buses only take counted money, or don't give it !!!! Change becomes a donation, woe betide you if you only have a 20 GBP bill. The sanitary facilities were clean, but the usual separate taps in the UK (a reason to really leave the EU) were even worse in the ladies wing than we had experienced on 5 Scottish sites before. The water came shooting out of the taps at far too high a pressure, so you could hardly avoid getting splashed, the completely waterlogged floor showed that it wasn't just me who had the problem. And nowhere else was the hot water as boiling hot as it was there. Even the multilingual signs don't help, you're bound to get scalded. Why can't or won't the islanders set the flow temperature lower? Stable Bar next door is a good tip, cozy, fair prices, delicious food, free wifi.
