Date of Visit: September 2013 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Kgibbs 1 review from this member

 Great location but very slopey pitch with pot holes under awning carpet. Good location for getting to St Andrews walking dogs etc. Excellent views over bay and will go back for location if nothing else. The plot I will choose next time us at top of field so there is much more shelter as it us exposed facing sea. There was entertainment, a shop and good bus links to surrounding Fife coastal towns. Think it has been improved since was taken over.

 This site is on a hill 1 mile approx from st andrews. The toilets/showers could do with an upgrade but they were kept clean during the 3 days we were there.

There is a lovely cliffside walk to the town. Not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties but there is a great bus service from the gate into town or into crail, anstruther, cuper etc

There is a well stocked shop on the site selling food papers etc

There is a club/restaurant on the site selling breakfast, lunch and evening meals and there is entertainment on some nights

St andrews is a lovely town with golf courses the usual food outlets and pubs but it can get a bit busy because of the student population and lots of visitors 


Date of Visit: July 2013 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Toekaq 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed here as we going to the opening day of the Women's British Open.

The pitch was awful. Even with ramps the motorhome was sloping severely. We parked side on to try and minimise the slope. The pitches are cramped so next door decided to park their car on our pitch which made it awkward when we returned in our tow car later that evening.

The playground looked decent enough although our kids didn't have time to use it.

The toilet block was filthy, the worst we have seen for a long while. The showers were somewhere else?

We were kept awake both nights by shouting into the small hours particularly after the bar had closed.

Having travelled throughout Scotland for the previous 2 weeks we found this site to be very expensive (£31 night as opposed to £20 at other nicer sites during our tour) and the worst we stayed at by a long long way. Very disappointed, will definitely never stay here again. Thankfully we only had to endure 2 nights.

Reviewer: Mdenham23 2 reviews from this member

 Really disappointed with this site. Their website gave the impression of a tidy, well maintained camp site. However this was not the case. We paid £29 per night for a grass pitch, with electric hookup and porch awning. The pitches were extremely cramped - we had to park our car in the visitors car park as there was not enough room for the caravan, awning and car.

Having a small child we welcomed the opportunity to have a pitch adjacent to the playpark and toilet/shower block. The toilet/shower block was in a terrible condition - damp, grubby, holes in the ceiling, chunks of plaster coming away from the wall and overrun with dead spiders (daddy long legs!) The dish washing facilities were poor - dirty with an off putting odour, which was probably coming from congealed/rotten food stuck around the lid of the bin - there on day 1 of our holiday and still there on day 5.

The focus of this site seemed to be the many static caravans. St Andrews is a fantastic holiday location - loads to do, whatever age, but I would not stay at this site again. Such a pity, as the location was excellent but did not offer good value for money.

 We have just returned from a long weekend at this site, not very impressed with the shower/toilets in field 1 these were outdated and in need of a major overhaul (although field 2 looked newer). Paid for an awning total for 3 nights £81 but weather was far too windy to erect so a very expensive holiday and this was for only electric (10 amp at that)

The clubhouse was good with great entertainment on both nights (although ryder cup was on but large tv was put on in sitting/lounge area for those who wanted to watch it so was much appreciated. Staff in clubhouse & restaurant were nice and friendly so no complaints there and restaurant on site was good and excellently priced.

Didn't have kids young enough with us to utilise the playpark but this looks new and very nice, room in clubhouse which housed pool table/games etc which was greatly used by kids in our company and they had no complaints there. I must say felt very let down by being informed that we were not allowed to take bbq due to health & safety advice to find 2 bbq's sitting behind 2 caravans that are there for the season! We have not ruled out returning but please renovate your shower/toilet facilities. Thanks

Reviewer: Colman.ek 6 reviews from this member

 This is a nice site with great views over St Andrews but when we arrived they had double booked our pitch they then offered us our money back as it was Easter weekend at 4 pm I sked them how they thought we would find somewhere else at such short notice so they went to look for another pitch for us and we got one. They also have regular patrols around the park witch looks good but they don't seem o do anything as on the sunday when we were out for the day high winds got up and ripped our canopy and even blew out wind breaks down and no staff seemed to bother it used to be when camping the staff on site or even the campers next to you would have helped out in situation like this but not on this site. As for the site itself it has nice bar and restaurant with good food and entertainment and good play park for children and very clean and tidy but is no good for tents only caravans and motorhomes and even then it is not very flat.

 Unit=folding camper

We visited St Andrews for a holiday around my brother's wedding. It is a gorgeous town and the location of this site is perfect for exploring. Our folding camper was put through its paces in high winds but we were ok with storm straps on the awning - it is an exposed location. We asked to be situated away from the club house in the far field. It is on a gentle slope but we pitched up fine and the awning was ok. You get allocated a generously sized well-defined plot.

The shower and toilet facilities were adequate - there was always a warm shower to be had and they did keep them reasonably clean.

The playground was fine for my 3 year old turning 4 soon after.

We didn't use any of the other site facilities - we don't generally use such things, but chose the site for its proximity to town.

It was a quiet time with children in Scotland returning to school at the end of September, but nevertheless the middle weekend brought a group who'd come together and against the rules of the site decided to erect a gazebo and were arrogantly warning people they would be noisy. We reported this to the warden about the gazebo concerned for noise later on, so he visited them but let them keep it up for one night and made them take it down the next day. Inevitably we were kept up with noise.

We complained later on and they did nothing about the noise which was excessive, and at midnight I complained again and finally he agreed it was time to call time on them. So we have to be thankful they were willing to do something later on, but really this should have been avoided had they enforced the no gazebo rule in the first place as the people basically got away with their plan to flout the rules and party away. Despite this, this was just one night. But I do think if parks have rules they should not shy away from enforcing them because people will return again and see what they can get away with at the expense of other campers.

However, all in all, if I was visiting St Andrews I would use this site again.

 We stayed at this campsite for the first time this month. Having spoken to an unfriendly woman on the phone to make the reservation, I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly night-watchman who greeted us and apologised for having to take money on our arrival (£10 deposit per toilet key, which we knew about). As it had rained for 2 days solid prior to our visit, we were relieved to see we were at the top of the hill and our pitch was not too muddy.

The toilet block was basic and would probably have been clean if I had not showered after a group of about 30 kids (very well behaved ones though)! Its not the most modern, but was adequate.

The strong points of the site are

1) Panoramic view

2) Clubhouse entertainment excellent (we saw

Jay Jackson who was fantastic!)

3) Meals and carry out service from clubhouse

really good value. Great service and

friendly atmosphere. We would definitely go

back to the restaurant.

4) Sky Sports showing football and other sports

in bar

5) Swimming pool/gym/steam room and squash

courts just outside site - 5 mins walk from

our caravan.

6) Games room with pool tables

We will definitely be back to this site - despite the complete lack of customer service from the woman at reception. All other staff were friendly and helpful.

Reviewer: Ryalls28 2 reviews from this member

 Second year visiting this site my partner is disabled we choose this site for it being close to st Andrews. Site is geared up for statics, motorhomes and caravans so not a lot of space for tents, the official area for tents with electrical hook up is right next door to the bar which is rather noisy. As my partner is disabled there is no disabled shower/toilet at this tent area so we where put into the second tour field next to the disabled toilet ( be warned they have only three keys for the disabled shower/toilet so even though you have put down as one member of your family is disabled you still have to say and ask to book a key) The views are fantastic from the top of the field where we are. We found the site very helpful with placing us near the disabled access loo that we needed to be near. The site is very dog friendly which our child adored. Very clean loo in disabled loo & shower needs some pumping to get it going but it is still very usable.

 A huge site mainly given over to static caravans.

We were last here about four years ago, so, being aware of the noise at the first touring area next to the club, we booked a pitch in the main touring park at the far end of the site. As well as being rather noisy, the first touring area looks rather congested but it has decent views.

The view over St Andrews bay from the main touring area is blocked by a line of trees, although there is a bit of a view from the top end of the site.

The toilet block here has been refurbished since our last visit, but spoiled by choked shower drains, lights that only seem to come on at night, no coat hooks on toilet doors and no escape for the steam from the showers. The interior door is accessed by key code and looks like it has been recovered form a skip.

A huge concrete pad outside (motorhome service point?) has three grey water drains and all were choked.

We did however find the staff very friendly, but obviously the site is geared towards statics rather than tourers.

The only reason to visit here was to see St Andrews again. A beautiful town with lots of facilities.

I don't think we are likely to be back at this site, although we have been coming here for over fifty years.
