Date of Visit: June 2026 Unit:  Campervan

Reviewer: Wardley17 34 reviews from this member

 Self check in as pitch pre selected, most pitches are sloping.

Facilities block in centre of field with individual bathrooms unisex, pick your time carefully or you may have to wait.

Shop and takeaway pizza on site. Easy access to Fife coastal path, with approx 30 min walk to St Andrews.

Motor home service point is next to facilities but isn’t drive in / out may need to reverse in to hit drain.

 Loved the location of the site and the views from the caravan. Caravan was clean and tidy, but had not cleaned under beds or couch for a while.

Restaurant, bar and pizza takeaway spotless with lovely staff and good food.

We had to speak to the manager with a serious issue which is still to be sorted, just waiting on a call for him to decide how he is going to compensate us.

Reviewer: Scottishman67 9 reviews from this member

 Great location as most people say and easy access onto costal path.

On site bar and restaurant are very nice and reasonably priced.

Toilets appear to be relatively new are now 7 multisex shower rooms with toilet and sink also. There is also one additional toilet with sink room and then one disabled room.

Whilst the idea is good and they are kept clean by the staff, I don’t think there is enough facilities for the number of pitches. I didn’t have to queue but I did see six ladies waiting one morning for a shower!

Also, one of the shower rooms was out of service as it was flooding. However, that’s just what happens when facilities are being used every day and I’m sure they had it fixed soon enough.

Some pitches are close together but we didn’t experience any noise or difficulty. We are twin axle with awning and sleeping annex and all fitted fine.

You will need levelling ramps as site is on slope.

10amp power supply at pitches but no serviced pitches that I’m aware of. Rubbish bins are located at the toilet block and recycling is done here also. Two sinks for dishwashing and Elsa’s point also in side of toilet block.

Grey waste water is a bit poor as other reviewer has mentioned. It’s a hard standing point near the toilet block and you just empty into groove that has a couple of drain points. This could be improved and made a bit neater to use I feel.

Contactless arrival worked well as our “name tag” was attached to power point at our pitch when we arrived.

Bottom line is that I would use this site again at a drop of a hat but may ensure it’s not during kids holiday periods to avoid crowds and queuing for the toilets.

 Lovely site within walking distance to St Andrews and nearby coastal villages.

Facilities excellent.

First time in a motorhome so cannot comment/review any further

Reviewer: John Galloway 1 review from this member

 Very nice site not far from the shops in St Andrews and bus stops on the main road at the main entrance to the campsite.

The toilets and showers are very clean and well-maintained. Wardens always going around and are very approachable if help is needed.

The only downfall was the wet weather but an overall joyful break.

Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Retired couple
Reviewer: Fiona W 260 reviews from this member

 This site is still called Kinkell Braes Caravan Park on the St Andrews bus timetables. Two separate camping fields at a massive static site (a blot on the landscape seen from the East Sands); we chose Clifftop as it's beside the Fife Coastal Path. Didn't use the pizza place at the entrance. Quick online booking with 10% discount, £25 pn, pay for Wi-Fi, almost useless 4G signal (strength 1 out of 5).

Loved the location, with views to St Andrews; it's a 6 mile round trip to walk down to the Old Course for a walk on the famous fairways with the dog (it's allowed on Sunday). Loved the coastal path for the dog walking.

Loathed the pitches - so narrow that we could hardly fit on, and very close together. Thankfully long enough (TA caravan length) for us to park further in beyond next door's car, which was so close that we couldn't open our driver's door.

Loathed the grey water disposal: one open channel with 3 gullies, for everyone to use (motorhomes, waste-masters etc) - all 3 gullies were totally choked, the area quickly became a sizeable pond of grey soup, totally revolting, and it was difficult to avoid splashing other people's bacon bits onto my boots when I emptied our canister.

Loathed the dog situation on site - half the dogs were off lead, the dog poo bin was full up when we arrived and overflowing when we left 3 days later. (Did like the coastal path for dog walks though - but that's nothing to do with the site itself. )

And absolutely loathed the ladies showers - again, a blocked tray so I was ankle deep in water that then overflowed beyond the door; nothing to mop the shower or washroom floor with afterwards; a push-button shower that delivered 3 seconds of cool water followed by 10 seconds of warm water, not long enough to warm me up again; no stool so my clothes had to perch on the door to stay dry; no heating despite single figure temperatures overnight; the so-called extractor fan was blowing cold air INTO and over the shower area; a window was stuck wide open letting in the cold north wind. I was chilled to the bone, it was the most miserable shower experience of any campsite in 40+ years. Didn't like brushing my teeth beside a sign reading "not drinking water".

In short, we'd come back but for the location only. We won't be using the facilities: the lack of maintenance is shocking but it looks like half the field is for seasonals who will use their own showers etc, and the other half for motorhomes stopping over for one night only.

 Great views from the site,

Easy access to St Andrews via coastal walk,

Clean and tidy site,

Competitive prices and smart reception area.

Staff were very helpful.

Toilet and showers were ok to better than ok, but will need some improvement over time.

 Great campsite and great location but toilet and shower block is terrible - needs knocking down and rebuilding

Two of stayed here for the week to compete the Eden tournament at ST Andrews

Campsite is fab and has a papa John’s pizza and bar/terrace on site but the toilet/shower block was a real let down - old and filthy

Reviewer: Mcniv 10 reviews from this member

 Spent a week here with caravan and a tent in spires field pitches are a bit tight for caravan awning and car, had a walk round cliff tops field and the pitches there are more generous.

Toilets and showers block is dated but they are clean and hot water was never a problem abercorn leisure could surely afford to up date the block.

The beach is within easy reach for able bodied people- its a steep hill and quite a climb back up. Tried the restaurant have to order food and drink via the app but all orders were correct and it worked well.

A bit of investment would go a long way here, it could turn a not to bad site into a very good site probably would return some time in the future (customer service rating had to be put in it was no contact check in and out)

 Good location and space. Some disturbance from noisy group but they did stop by midnight.

Toilets block is updated and difficult to keep clean. Would not take a shower there.
