 Just returned from our 5th visit to the Edinburgh club site. We really enjoy visiting the site, it provides everything that me, my other half and the dog could want.
A brief walk out the site and over the road brings you down to the waterside walk and grassland along the side of the Forth, perfect for exercising the dog off the lead.
Walking left along brings you to the next village along with a charming pub. Also, if your feeling brave and the tide is right (read the board at the pier) you can walk across the peninsula to the island in the middle of the Firth of Forth. Worth the walk for seeing the birds flying in peace.
Also a visit to the beautiful Fife coast is really worthwhile, try St Monans, Elie, Crail and if time, the fish bar at Anstruther is legendary, well worth the queue.
Britannia is great to visit, as is the Castle, but pricey.
Edinburgh itself can be a nightmare to circumnavigate, even the satnav got itself tied in knots with roadworks and one way streets everywhere. The buses are a much better idea!
Follow the club guide directions to the site, the corners on other routes are too tight for a long combination.
Fantastic landscaping to the site, toilet blocks spotless with music playing. Showers really hot and powerful. Wardens great, helpful and very knowledgeable.
Large Morrisons 5 mins away.
No downside to this site! Have booked another 2 weeks in May.

We visited this site after Christmas & over to New Year & what a lovely clean & well organised site. We arrived after 6pm on Boxing day & Stayed until the 2nd Jan, the snow covered site was lovely to see & were kept well updated by the site regarding the sites access re the snow.
The beach is a very short walk away & the kids collected shells as they seem to do on every holiday! Was a lovely walk along the pebbles & you could see across to Fife.
The site is situated just a 10 minute drive from the local Morrisons, (no shop on site). A mini bus runs at regular intervals from the site to Edinburgh City Centre and @ £15 for a family of 4 return is well worth it as you would need a 2nd mortgage to park for the day in the City, that's if you manage to find your way in through the one way systems.
We spent the day in Edinburgh on New years eve and all the fairs & attractions were in place & ready for the new year celebrations, which was great for the kids, we also went into the Castle which was very interesting & well worth a visit, however book your tickets in advance online as is cheaper to get in.
All in all this was a lovely site, the amenities were very clean & would recommend & visit again if needed.

Fantastic site. Just returned from 4 nights there. Weather superb which always helps. Great location near good walk along 'promenade' to Cramond.
Lots of places to walk dogs. Site well signposted and checkin friendly and efficient. Pitches large, toilet block is of high standard. The wardens always seemed to be cleaning or cutting grass/hedges.
They obviously take pride in the site and rightly so. It's a credit to them. Morrisons short drive away. Walk approx 20 mins to main road to catch bus into Edinburgh or there is a minibus direct into Edinburgh from the site. We did not use it though as had our 3 dogs with us. We took car into Edinburgh on Bank Hol Monday and parked at Holyrood.
Short walk to Royal Mile and Castle. Would definitely recommend this site for anyone wanting to visit Edinburgh.

We stayed here for two nights and we thought it was a brilliant site one of the best campsites we've been to.
Check in was quick and easy, they gave us a map and showed us several spots we could pick from all they asked is that when we had our pitch we went back to let them know where we were.
The pitches were large areas with plenty of room. The toilet/shower block were clean and music was played in there 24/7 (I was scared in case I broke out singing when having a shower!). The showers were hot and a good spray of water like some places.
We headed out the site and turned left and walked across the road and we came across 'a promenade' (as they lady at receiption called it) that was a lovely walk along the Forth. We walked to the next town (Cramond) and went into the pub there, it was lovely and the food was good too.
If you turn left out of the site and walk up to the main road you can catch the bus into Edinburgh. It cost us £3 each and it was an all day ticket so we could have got on and off as many times as we wanted.
Would definitely recommend this site.

We drove up to this popular site from our 3 night stop in Cumbria. About a mile from the site you do wonder what you have come to as you drive through some funny looking areas with high rise and cctv everywhere. We arrived on the site and were amazed, very busy, I never knew we had so many tourists from abroad, we British were outnumbered. The warden advised on a few pitches as we had requested to be close to the toilet block for our disabled Son. We had pitch 125 directly facing the toilet block, amazing size.
The toilet block was always spotless, it had music playing and even though the heating wasn't on it was always warm in there. The wardens took great pride in the site and toilet blocks. One thing amazed me though was we were sited just yards from the Motorhome Service point, and were disappointed how many motorhome owners failed to put the manhole cover back down correctly . The wardens were on the ball when they noticed this and took this up with the offenders.
We loved this site, 1 mile away from morrisons, 10 mins in to Edinburgh town. We had a lovely 75 min drive over the forth to St Andrews and took the dog on the beach, a lovely day was had, we had 6 nights here, it has also got a right funky dog walk on site, a little wood area especially for dogs. My son also loved the on site park a great place to meet other kids, cant wait to visit again.

Our party was made up of Mum, Dad, our 2 children aged 9 & 7 and our dog.
We arrived just after midday on Easter Sunday and check in was easy and straight forward. A foreword about the directions I have is: although there are other ways to this site, I would advise following the Club’s directions when towing and when arriving for the first time. Once you have driven the area solo, then you can make your own mind up regarding the tightness of some turns.
Edinburgh Caravan Club site is one of the best sited Club sites I know. Edinburgh City is located to one side, the Forth to the other, and has easy access to Edinburgh’s Ring Road and therefore anywhere.
We arrived with two kids to be told that the playgroud was out of action which was a very big let down as my two boys love the playground on the club sites to fill them quiet moments.
The showers and toilets were always wonderful clean and warm. We could not in anyway fault the standard of these toilets.
The dog walk on site was a wonderful way of using a piece of land that could otherwise not be used and put to very good use and was very welcomed by us for them last late night walks.
The Forth was just yards away from the front gate and provided myself with a different photograph each sunrise.
The Museum of Scotland, Almond Valley, East Links Adventure Park are all nearby with East Links being the farthest away but all of these provide excellent value for money but Dalkeith Park was by far and away the gem of them all being very little cost to get in and our boys spent the whole day in the grounds, but Dalkeith has to be a dry day to visit.
Given our time again, we would not visit Edinburgh Castle again as the cost being the main reason.
One thing that I feel has to be mentioned is that Edinburgh Caravan Club Site is located underneath the flightpath to Edinburgh City Airport and when there is no wind or when there is a prevailing wind. Planes are down to a few hundred feet at this point so could be a bit of a problem.
Are we going back? No, Edinburgh has not enough to entice us back even if the Club Site is great albeit for the playground being closed during the duration of our stay.

This site is in a fantastic setting with walks right on the doorstep but also handy for Edinburgh City Centre ( although the bus journey takes much, much longer than by car ).
A good size Morrisons is nearby with garage / restaurant / ATM available. The facilities are superb,spotless and warm and the wardens are friendly and helpful. I've already made a return visit and hope to make many more.

Just back from a lovely weekend in Edinburgh. What a lovely site this is very impressive as you drive up to it and it lives up to the first impressions. Site was well laid out with good sized pitches and small play park on site. Only half the site was open don't know why didn't ask, toilet block was spotless 1 very small down side was the shower heads are very low only about 6ft high and as I am just over made it slightly awkward as I say this is a very small point and the showers were clean powerful and hot.
It was a 10 min walk to the bus stop and £3.00 gets you a full day pass anywhere on Lothian buses so well worth it. 2 buses go into town the 27 and 16 and both run past midnight so very handy. Small bit of advice if intending to come home late take a small torch as no street lights for the last part of the walk.
When we got up this morning it was a lovely day so we wanted to go a walk asked if we could stay a little later warden told us to stay as long as we wanted. The wardens were very pleasant at all times and very helpful too.

Fantastic caravan park - very well laid out, absolutely spotless - very friendly receptionists. Was full when we were there but didn't seem crowded at all. Small playpark for kids but they seemed to prefer to ride around on their bicycles. Went a walk to cramond - just a few yards along and across the road - absolutely beautiful. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return.

We loved this site - on approaching the site you drive through a housing estate but the site itself is well cared for and very secure.
The facilities are excellent, including the dog walk where there is a wonderful sign explaining that this is the habitat of the legendary 'hagis'! The wardens were very friendly and helpful too.
There are excellent bus links to the site - you can choose from the minibus that comes direct to the site or for a cheaper option walk around to the bus stop (about 5mins)and get an all day ticket for just £3. However beware if you have dogs as only two dogs are allowed on a bus at a time.
There is a lovely walk along the foreshore towards the small village of Crammond where there is a lovely bay where yachts shelter and a great little cafe. You can also walk up the river from here which is very pleasant.
We definitely hope to return.

Stopped here on are way down south. The area is not the best but is improving and the amount of cctv around the site did make us a bit worried. The site itself is very nice cc standard nice and clean friendly staff. The site is very handy for the city but I would take the bus parking is a nightmare. Nice walk along the water front from site loads of room for kids to fly kites and play. There was a new tesco's just a couple of minutes down the road which was very handy.

An ideal site for a long stay or a brief stopover. We had plenty of choice of pitches and chose one near the excellent dog walk. As with previous reviews we found the welcome warm and the extra information given very helpful. During our three days we met many tourists from abroad in their motor homes as well as backpackers using the tented area. A short distance from the site is a lovely promenade area ideal for cycling or walking. We walked out at low tide to the small island off the coast along the causeway and returned to the village cafe by the harbour for home made scones! The Toby Carvery a short distance from the site was well worth a visit too . For those essentials Tesco is not far away either.The mini bus into the city is very convenient but buses good too. The road system is quite confusing but sat nav directions are spot on.

This was our 1st visit to Edinburgh and this site. We did get a bit lost once we hit the outskirts of town and although I rang the site the only directions we were given were to look for the brown information signs with a tent and caravan on and follow them. We did manage to get there but it took us an hour!
The outskirts of marine drive are residential and can be a bit off putting initially but we quickly got over that when we saw how much redevelopment there was in the area and the locals were very friendly and welcoming.
The site itself is as you would expect with caravan club sites fantastically organised booking in and providing information. We were given a map of the site, a map of Edinburgh and transport details, this is a first not all sites do this so a plus. The reception area is beautiful and next to it is the information room and a small secluded seating area which always caught the sun.
Too many pitches had been pre booked so our choice was very limited though this didn’t prevent us from enjoying the site.
This site benefits from 2 dish washing area’s which was handy as it was a very busy during our stay.
The toilet and shower block was so warm and cosy and extremely well kept and smelled clean and fresh at all times.
The reception sells basic groceries and the buns from the local bakery were very tasty.
The children went every day for a lolly ice or ice cream and were always made welcome.
As said by previous reviews the bus no longer stops outside and the mini bus is great because it stops right outside the reception but as there are 4 of us and we went into Edinburgh everyday £4.00 per person return is expensive at £16.00 a day when the buses No 16 or 27 stop at the top of marine drive and cost £1.20 for adults and 60p for children so a lot cheaper and a nice walk too.
The promenade is to the left of the site entrance and has beautiful views of the firth of forth but the water is not suitable for paddling which was a disappointment to our children. It is a popular walk with people cycling, roller skating, dog walkers, young families etc and at the end is a yacht club, toilets and a small café which is a welcome rest before the long walk back. It was a glorious sunny day the day of our walk but the strong winds from the estuary were cold.
There was a lot of work on trams in Edinburgh which did spoil our enjoyment of the city and it is very expensive and touristy but thankfully the weather was fantastic during our week long stay and we were able to take advantage of the many beautiful and well maintained parks in the city. There are 2 main highlights of our stay – Greyfriars Bobby and Edinburgh Castle both really enjoyable and entertaining for young children especially the 1 o’clock gun. The water feature outside the parliament building kept the children entertained during the hot weather too.
The site has a quick turn around of visitors who mainly stayed 1 or 2 nights before continuing on their journey so our children made friends with children who weren’t there the next day and they would have to start over again with new people which did disappoint them but this was due more to the location than the site.
There are supermarkets and petrol stations near by and local shops are handy for chemists, chip shops, butchers etc.
We did enjoy the site and the city has a lot to offer everyone and the surrounding areas are within easy reach, with such beautiful scenery resulting in a relaxing holiday.

Good site, if a little cramped. Toilet block excellent as expected from all CC Sites
Wi-fi very expensive - £5 for 1 hour and limited to certain pitches which cannot be pre-booked.
Travel into town is swings and roundabouts which one you use:
• The local service bus no longer stops at the site so a 15 min walk is required to the nearest bus stop, one goes directly to the Royal Yacht Britannia and one to the centre of town. Costs £1:60 per ride or a day bus ticket costs £3.
• There is also a mini bus shuttle to and from Edinburgh, but it drops and picks up about 10 mins from the Edinburgh centre and is on a ‘first come - first serve basis’ (some people waiting for collection in town could not get on) and costs £2 each way.
Altogether a very useful site for visiting Edinburgh.

We stayed for three nights,really liked the way they have designed this site, good sized pitches. Checking in was done in a very nice manner and puts you back in the holiday mood again after a hectic drive down from the north of scotland.
Toilet blocks were spot on and the reception sells some basic foodstuffs and there is a good info room as well. There is a cracking mini bus service that runs into city centre and back all day from the site and the local bus stop is a fair walk away, as some of the other reviews have said, but we found there is a public path runs through the golf course at the back of the site that would take 10 minutes at most to the bus stops that take you to the city centre.
Just outside the site you have miles of promenade to walk or cycle and plenty of picnic areas. I will back to this site soon ,three days was fine but you could easy spend a lot more time here as there is so much to take in .
