 Not your typical CC site. Its set up to get lots of people into the great city of Edinburgh and it does a great job. Ok so it a large grassy car park but its run well and is spotless. The foreign guests can cause some confusion with random parking. Use the shuttle bus you skin flints! its so easy and drops you of right in the centre. Big super market close and a long cycle trail and dog walk nearby.
We've used this site before and love it. The staff leave you alone to enjoy your stay. Often busy. If not full. As fred used to say' Book early'

This was our first visit to this site mainly to visit friends. It's a large well laid out site with a tent area and an on site dog walk. Facilities are typical of all Caravan Club sites. Wardens were friendly and helpful. Pitches were of a good size and flat. There is a small children's play area.
Site is adjacent to the Firth of Forth with lovely walks either on the beach when the tide is out or on the walkway. There is a cafe along the walkway that sells lovely cakes.
This site is ideal for getting to see the sites of Edinburgh and a bus from the reception takes you right in to the centre. This is something we will look at doing on our next visit. Highly recommended.

This is the first Caravan Club Site we've stayed on. We are used to Australian sites so it was a bit different for us, with reasonable sized sites, lots of rules, not sure of the logic of the rule for having the van in a certain position relative to the site marker, unless it's safety. Speedy evacuation. Which is probably more relevant in Australia where we have bush fires! It cannot be faulted for facilities, and we were there for a specific purpose, not the (non existent) view, and we did find the noise of the planes annoying at first but didn't notice it after a while.
We stayed two nights and would stay again if we had reason to be in Edinburgh.

This is a large and very well maintained site on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Facilities are of an excellent standard and there is a regular shuttle bus into the city for a reasonable charge.
The main attraction of this site is its location, being the closest to Edinburgh. It is about 15 minutes driving to the centre.
Brilliant site.

Went to this site for the tatoo. Great site. Showers very clean and a nice touch with radio on in the showers and toilets. Only down side was no shop, the reception sell a few thing but had to go in car to morrisons for a newspaper in morn. The mini bus which come on site is very good and drop you off not far from shops in Edinburgh. Booked the mini bus to go to the tatoo at night this too was very good and drop us off at the bottom of castle. It's a long hill to climb but not too steep for people with mobility problem and it give you plenty of time to get back after and does a head count to make sure every one is back on before you return back to camp site. We will have no problem using this camp site again in the future

Lovely campsite laid out in typical Caravan Club layout - bit like a car park. Still well-cared for though with clean facilities. This is a site that is good as a base not for it's views. The site also takes tents, which is unusual for a CC site. Very busy site.
Shame the old bus service no longer available, but only a 10 minute walk up to the top road where the bus service is good, going right into the city so no need to change buses. Also a mini bus service direct from site but didn't use this.
Morrisons supermarket is a short drive away in one direction and a small Tescos in the other direction. The wardens were all OK and helpful.

After reading the reviews we thought this would be a good site. I am sorry to say we did not find the lady wardens helpful or friendly at all. On arrival we were asked if we had been here before when we informed them no was told to pick a pitch with a white stick and come back to let them know, we asked if there was a motorhome fill up and was told to check the signs. We also asked about the bus stop sign and did you get the local bus from there, to be told that if we wanted to know about the bus service we had to check the information office for details. The office was not busy only myself in ! When we left I went to hand in the gate pass, she walk out from the office I said thank you we and leaving today, she picked up the card, no thank you hope you had nice stay nothing. So rude. We did not realise that it was the tatoo and when we saw the advert asked how we could or would it be possible to get tickets, we were informed that we need to get ourselves organised and get tickets sorted ! We had had a lovely 2 weeks touring Scotland to end our holiday on that site really put a back feeling on visiting Scotland. Would like to say one warden having a off day but it was 2 different lady wardens !

Visited for week long holiday and what a lovely site. All amenities of high standard incl toilet blocks, reception and information points. The area around the site is beautiful and perfect for beach walks especially dog-friendly. The wardens are all friendly and helpful. There's a nice mix of nationalities on the site here to visit Edinburgh. Plenty of food shops incl Lidl and Morrisons a very short drive away. The nearest pub is the Toby Carvery 15-20 min walk, not dog-friendly inside but there's a large beer garden. The Cramond Inn is a 30min walk along the promenade but wouldn't recommend a visit (Unpleasant staff!). The minibus service into Edinburgh is ideal for door to door service! Would definitely visit again.

Large 146 pitch site set in hilltop wooded location by Firth of Forth 3 ½ miles from Edinburgh centre. Spacious pitches, two toilet blocks and helpful and friendly wardens.
The promenade by the Firth is accessed via a 100 step staircase outside the site entrance, providing a 2 mile walk to Cramond, with its lovely harbour, dog friendly Cramond Inn, and Cramond Island (1 mile walk only accessible at low tide). Surprisingly pleasant promenade with stunning views of Firth and the Islands, the Firth Bridge and surrounding lowland scenery, but no shelters have been provided. Pity considering the downpours of rain, it is Scotland!
A minibus service is provided by Cramond Taxis running directly from the site into Edinburgh centre at £ 5. 00/person return. The bus runs every half hour from the site in the mornings (9. 30 until 1. 00), then a pre-booked return collection from Edinburgh (4. 30 – 9. 00pm).
Morrison’s supermarket is just over 1 mile from site.
No traffic noise, but site is under the flight path of Edinburgh airport and associated landing noise. Despite this good, relatively quiet location for visiting Edinburgh.

This is a well looked after site with plenty of space for your unit, friendly staff on hand to help.
All level pitches. You can walk about 15-20 mins to bus stops that will take you into the city if you don't fancy having the hassle of parking.
You can also walk the same distance the other way to the sea (firth of the forth) which has lovely walks along the prom. There is no shop as such on site but reception has a few necessities very clean toilets and showers with music piped through, which i think is a nice touch.
Small playground for small children, we parked by the road that runs by, but there not much traffic noise from it.

We are Caravan Club Members. We visited this site for a weekend on March 1st with our 3 children as our youngest daughter had a Basketball event in Edinburgh. Although we arrived at 7pm due to Road works delays, we were made welcome by the Warden and settled the bill in the morning. We found the site quite busy but found a good pitch.
The site is very level with large hardstandings. The layout is excellent with shrubs and trees and some hedges dividing pitches, the area around the reception was particularly well landscaped. There are grey squirrels and Magpies in abundance.
There are 2 toilet blocks and the one we used was very clean and large enough for the site. Our children used the small playpark at the site.
We could see the Forth Estuary from our pitch and it is only a short walk down to the waterfront. We visited Ocean Terminal at Leith with free parking and the Royal Botanical Gardens with on Street parking free at weekends both are only a short Drive away. There is a Large Morrisons and a Tesco both about 5 minutes drive.
On Saturday and Sunday there was slight noise from football matches being played adjacent to the site but this did not cause us any disturbance. A well recommended site and we will very likely return.

Well looked after site. Friendly and helpful wardens. Spotless showers and toilets 24 hours, with plenty of free hot water, same in dish washing area. We found it very quiet no bother the few planes we vaguely heard. Short walk to bus stop about ten minutes, great bus service (Lothian) drivers friendly and very helpful. Great place to be based for visiting Edinburgh. Looking forward to going back for another stay soon.

We had 4 nights at this site the week before Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed the break.
Ideal location with Cramond beach a 5 minute walk and Princes St. A 10 minute drive away.
Half the site was closed for the winter but the site was quiet so had plenty of pitches to choose from. Toilet block was nice and warm and spotless. Nice friendly greeting at reception and all the staff were happy to have a chat.
The weather was wet and wild on one of the days but the trees surrounding the site gave some shelter.
There is some noise from the planes but we didn't find it obtrusive.
We will definitely use this site for some short breaks in the future.

A very well maintained site. The shower blocks and toilets are clean and tidy and the showers you can adjust the water for your own temperature.
There is a small play ground for the children.
The beach is about five mins walk from the site and there is a lovely walk along side the river Almond but it is about 20 mins walk along the sea front to get there.
There is a mini bus that comes to the site between 9. 30 am and 11. 30 am to pick people up and take them into Edinburgh. The times back are between 4. 30 pm and 6. 30 pm. The nearest public transport is about 10-15 mins up the road to the right of the campsite.
The nearest shop is Morrisons about 15-20 mins up the road.
We did like the site but felt that it was a shame that we had to travel quite a distance from the site for things like places to eat, shops and public transport.
We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly.

Spent 8 nights at this site at the end of the Edinburgh festival.
The site is very well maintained, clean and tidy. There are two shower blocks which are well maintained and very clean. There is a little shop at reception, a tented area, nice information point and enormous pitches! The pitches really are big, maybe even a couple of metres wider than most, slightly sloped in places.
Turn right out of the gate and a ten minute walk takes you to the bus stop, the number 27 will take you past the botanic gardens and into the centre of Edinburgh. Or the number 16 will take you to the royal yacht Britannia and the oceanic terminal shopping centre. The number 27 arrives at the bus stop every 15 mins in the week and every 20 mins at the weekend. There are stops every 100 yards which can be annoying but at £1. 40 to anywhere in the city it's good value.
Turn left out of the gate and head along the road until you spot the promenade, it is about half a mile until you come across sandy beaches and you can walk for ages. A lot of this walk is away from traffic so good for kids and dogs.
The planes stop over night, so not really a bother, in fact it can be interesting to see what is taking off.
Although I am a caravanner and don't own a motor home I think this site would be good for motorhomes the bus service is good and there is a large morrisons 15 mins walk away. The number of motorhomes resident on the site while we were staying backs up my feelings that it is a good place for them!
Lots to do and see in the area, lots of resturants and food places - too many to mention here.
