 Great site. Pitches can be quite steep for levelling out caravan.
Great facilities, newer shower and toilet block better services than older block with wet rooms.

Needed a site near to Edinburgh to catch up with long lost friends and easy public transport into the city. It delivered. Most expensive pitch on our Scotland tour, but that's Edinburgh!
Easy check in with friendly staff. We had a hardstanding pitch with no EHU near the large facilities block. Facilities block excellent with large showers.
Walk to the bus stop, where No11 is the required bus. Get on at the stop just left of entrance, bus then goes a few stops and turns around, saves crossing the road.
Will use again.
The Motorhome grey waste needs upgrading to a proper drive over set up, getting tool old to be lifting drain covers, plus we're on holiday not a building site with heavy labour.

2nd visit to Morton Hall for us. Very good easy access to site from the ring road and on arrival were warmly welcomed. Very smart reception and shop which was reasonably stocked. We were given our pitch number and directions to it by very attentive reception staff.
I've some negative observations about this site but will start with the fact that I liked it enough to return in the future. There's something about it which I cannot pin point. A very popular busy site with all pitch types available for your needs or budget.
We were amongst a mass of varied outfits from motorhomes, campervans, roof tents, caravans and tents of all shapes and sizes. There was a good ambience about the site. That said, I think it was a bit overcrowded this time. Whilst there, a big touring travel bus pulled up and pitched opposite us. Then the 15 or so occupants alighted, set up tables and chairs, taking up a huge amount of room adjacent to their pitch. They were continuously walking through or very close to other people's outfits as short cuts or just being nosey, I don't know but we felt a little unsettled by them.
There is an on site bar which serves food but booking is essential during busy periods. The outside seating area however was neglected by staff with glasses, bottles, plates etc not being cleared away in a timely manner. There was also any amount of litter being blown around. Patrons don't help but staff should be more attentive as it creates the wrong impression. We had a meal there which with drinks feel was adequate but overpriced for the quality.
Public transport is really close by the entrance to the site for services into the city centre. It is serviced by the number 11 bus stop just outside site entrance. Lothian even have a night bus service which is great for late night returns from the Fringe or Tattoo.
The facilities block at the top of the site were at best useable if desperate. I found them dirty, neglected almost and badly in need of a refurb. There was shower curtains missing and all the loo seats were loose. The floors were wet all the time. The pipework under the sink hadn't seen any kind of cleaning product for months and the small extractor fan in the ceiling was thick with dust! There was a mop to use that stank of stale water and was black with filth. I used my own facilities for fear of catching something.
The motorhome service point if you can call it that was not at all conveniently placed and the taps leaked. A chemical waste point is situated here also but was not accessible if someone was getting water and it was in an open and prominent position. Emptying the loo is a job that needs doing but discreetly if you will, not in full view of everyone. Please consider Morton Hall installing a modern, fit for purpose drive over motorhome service point that is easy to manoeuvre into or around. A lot of sites we have visited have a designated pitch now which you can pull into without being in anyone's way and have installed water points on both sites, a wide drive over grate for waste water and some have even put in an elsan point and bins too. A one stop shop so to speak. You have enough room and existing infrastructure at Morton Hall to do similar.
The bins around the site were overflowing at times.
The pitches are slopping, some more than others so levellers are a must.
All of the above if put right would transform this site into a 5 star destination in my opinion.

Quite a uneven site levelling is needed found the grass pitch we were given was ment for a smaller unit.
Good hot showers but shower cubicle gets very wet.
Busses into Edinburgh No 11 takes 40 mins across the road from site entrance.

Great site location and new facility block that was just about complete when we were there is fantastic - there is even a bath in the toilet block.
My only mark down is for the kids play area - just needs a little bit of work on this I feel to bring some tired and missing items back up to a high standard.
Most of the site is slopping so make sure you have chocks etc to level your unit. We were on a fully serviced pitch which was good for us.
There is a restaurant/pub on site which we did not use on this visit but are intending on using when we revisit in August.

Popular and well organised site which is one of the few available for visiting the city of Edinburgh.
Location is good as it’s so well connected to centre by public transport.
We spent 3 days at the Fringe Festival and used this as a base. Edinburgh is a fantastic place - but even more so during the month of August.
Facilities all good. Would use again.

Great camp site. Shower & toilet block brand new, located right next to our pitch. Showers worked well and the private sink areas were useful. Nice back lit mirrors.
Good sink area & a drinking water tap were handy.
They were cleaned & maintained but some people are just grotty & left hairballs from their hairbrushes on the floor & unflushed toilets regularly.
Lovely grounds and helpful staff at the check in desk. They happily charged our phones at £2 each.
We got the bus right outside the site into the city centre which took about 30 minutes & cost £2 per adult. Regular service & stopped centrally on Princes Street.
Great location and would return.

This site makes a good base for visiting Edinburgh.
We had 3 days at the Fringe festival which is well worth a visit.
Hundreds of street entertainers and indoor shows with something for everyone. A brilliant event.
Site well located for access into the centre with good facilities.

More than impressed with this site.
A nice friendly welcome. It’s obviously a well organised site with excellent facilities - immaculate large modern toilet and shower block with a bath too!
A modern campers kitchen and dining room with four sections comprised of an electric kettle, toaster and microwave.
A lovely bar and restaurant up at the hall.
I will certainly be back.

The pluses - good location for visiting the sights. Close to pub/restaurant. Good dog walking. Nice reception area. Fully serviced pitch.
The negatives - stayed in area F where the pitches are too small and far too close to each other with very little room for manoeuvrer. All pitches are uneven and sloping on all sides.
Paid extra for an awning but could not put it up as it would not reach the ground because of slope. No footpaths so everyone just walked between the plots.
Paid for 3 nights wifi but could not get it so have had to send an email to get money back.
The neutrals- in my opinion very pricey for what it is. Very big site with everyone crammed in which is not my cup of tea. Cannot comment on facilities as we did not use them.
We will not return

On arriving at this site overall impression was high, check in was easy reception was very nice, but all that changed when we eventually found our pitch which was a hard standing that was just about wide enough to get my motorhome on you then step out into either mud or overgrown grass, two pitches here would make one elsewhere, it looks like they have crammed as many pitches in has they could.
There is also a lack of paths to the shower block and bin areas resulting in people walking through pitches.
Worst site I have stayed on for a long time and not the cheapest.
The only thing going for it is it’s location.

Mortonhall is like the curate's egg - good in parts, but more than a few negative points that could be easily rectified.
Firstly the positives:-
Excellent quiet location close to the city centre with an excellent bus service.
Superb pub in the old stables block - courtyard seating, good beers (and everything else) and very good food - all reasonably priced and dog-friendly.
Plenty of places for dog walks.
Good shop.
Very pleasant and helpful staff.
Now for the rest.
The site is set mostly on a gentle slope, but no effort has been made to level the pitches - they all follow the contours. On our first pitch sloping in two directions, it was impossible to get even close to level. Fortunately we were offered another pitch at the bottom of the slope and this was fine.
There is a new facilities block under construction (which should have all necessary facilities, based on its size) which will be a welcome addition, since all the other established facilities blocks are tired, lacking in maintenance and not always clean.
The only 'assisted shower-room facility' is tucked away in the corner of the stone buildings, on the edge of the site so with a long treck for some people. And frankly it is in an appalling state - some 'fixtures' which are no longer fixed have just been left on the windowsill - the shower drain cover is in a disgusting state, and I am quite sure that germs are there.
Some temporary toilet facilities are new and clean, but one closest to us was without hand-wash and paper towels for 2-days. Toilet rolls are not put in the holders and just left on a shelf over the cisterns - altogether not very civilised.
The laundry is a joke - there are three domestic washers and dryers and one commercial dryer. Two of the washing machines and two of the driers were out of service for our entire 2-week stay.
The management needs to get a grip of their cleaning service and do a bit more maintenance (no doubt putting it off until the new facility is open). We would only return once the new facilities block is open and if we could reserve one of a small number of pitches that are level and well located.
And to cap it all, this is the most expensive per-night site we have stayed at (15 so far) this year.
