 Great site if you stay in a caravan, I went with friends and couldn`t fault place, very good toilet block, warm, clean, and the local radio station playing. Plenty of wildlife on the site and the area is full of surprises
Some sheltered beaches a short drive away, we found some stunning spots. Dont know what it's like staying in a tent as was far end of site, but seemed plenty of campers using it.
The city itself is ok in parts, but extremely touristy, I come from Blackpool and felt very at home.

Just come back from visiting this site and I must say I didn't get to relax much. The was a plane landing every 3 to 4 minutes at certain times of the day. The road was noisy and I was pitched quite far away from it. Also the Rugby was on this weekend so lots of supporters arrived on site to celebrate which don't get me wrong that's fine it the noise they made when coming home at 2,3,and 4 am in the morning. I didn't think the c/c allowed all male parties.
Apart from all the above the site was well looked after and very clean.
The best thing is the Mini Bus that picks you up and takes you into Edinburgh its better than the mile walk to bus stop.

The views of the Firth from the road outside of the campite are awesome. On a nice warm sunny day I could sit and look at it for hours. It is a pity that the campsite doesn't have the same views, but what it does have it does very well.
It is a very professionally run site and the staff are always courteous and helpful. Sadly, this last visit they were unable to let me stay after 12 on the Sunday which cut short the weekend slightly, but I assume they had to make room for someone else coming in.
All the toilet facilities are kept spotlessly clean, which is excellent. The late arrival facility is second to none having power and plenty of space for at least three large motorhomes.
There used to be a bus that went into town from just outside the campsite, sadly cutbacks by the bus company have removed this service so now you have to walk about a mile to get the bus. This is a shame and a little bit odd as the bus always seemed to be busy whenever I was on it.
The city is wonderful and if you haven't visited ityet then what is keeping you. The site is open all year so it is well worth getting up there in the winter months.

Update on site.
The no 42 bus no longer stops at site gates. There is now a 10 min walk to bus stops to city.
There is also a mini bus service to the city from the site and back again every 30 mins from 9.30 am cost is £2.00 each way. Lauriston farm pub at Silver Knowes is now a toby carvery, good ales at good prices but food side still seems as chaotic as it was when it was Brewers Fayre.

Just came back from a 4 night stay and was not so sure about this site. Don't get me wrong it is up to the usual CC high standards and yes the toilets were brill. Couldn't hear the road outside and we were 4 pitches away from it and the planes are great to see, not as intrusive as some have wrote
Now for the bad bits (only if you have older kids) There is nowhere for them to knock about a ball or play, we did take the bikes but soon got bored. If you go over the road at the entrance there are steps down to the prom (very steep and extremely tiring) They can play there with a lovely view of the firth of fourth. But my hubby had to go about 4 times a day and was shattered come the end for the stay.
The bus does not stop any more outside the site and you have a 20 min walk to the bus stop (the warden told me 10min but I timed it) you can get the no27 or the no16 and these run every 15 mins. Time tables in the info area
I would still recommend this site as there is a lot to do in Edinburgh but if your 10 year old is football crazy I'm not sure.

Just returned from staying on this site over Easter. Cannot praise this site enough. We visited with my daughter son in law and four grandchildren aged 4 to 15yrs. Although the site was full the wardens kept the toilet and shower facilities immaculate at all times. It has a play area for young children something which the caravan club does not always provide on its sites and also an excellent babyroom with bath toilet and changing facilities for babies and toddlers.
Unfortunately the local service bus no longer stops at the site so a 10 min walk is required to the nearest bus stop. A private mini coach service is now operating visiting the site running every 30 mins a mini coach to Edinburgh centre for a fare of £2 each way.
We had a meal in the Toby carvery which we all enjoyed it is close to the site and good value for money.
Would not hesitate to recommend this site to anyone camping or caravanning and wanting to visit Edinburgh

We stayed at this site on a half term visit to Edinburgh. This was our first stay on a Caravan Club site and we found it to be of a very high standard. The toilet / shower block was so warm and clean it was pleasant to use and was a revelation after being used with old, cold and often dirty toilet / shower facilities on sites in Ireland.
The pitches have electric but no water or drain which is the only negative point I would make about the site. They are gravel so offer the benefits of hard standing for wet weather but still allow an awning.
The site is situated on the northern edge of the city within site of the sea and a 10 minute drive either into the centre of the city or along the docks to where the Royal Yacht Britannia is docked. It is worth noting that the residential area near the site is quite rough looking but we had no trouble and security on the site seems good. Something
I found to be a problem was that all the approach roads to the site have speed bumps every 10 yards which is not ideal when towing a caravan. The weather was atrocious the evening we arrived and the road outside the site was flooded almost to the point of being impassable! Unlike others we noticed no undue road or aircraft noise during our 4 night stay.
All in all a great site ideal for a city break!

Just back from our second visit to this site. You soon forget about plane noise above you! Still well kept site even though you hardly see the wardens going about their duties. Toilets must still be one of the best we've ever come across.
Used the No 42 bus from outside the gate a lot. Saves the hassle of parking in city centre. Brilliant new Morrisons supermarket just opened less than a mile from site. Local takeaways still as good also. Shame its too far away for us to use for weekends but will be back next year during one of our longer holiday periods.
Kids loved this site this time too and found they were never out of the play area when we were on site.

Have to agree with other reviewers - facilities excellent but some noise from aircraft and road. Best points for us: You can walk along the promenade to Cramond. From there (if you get the tides right), you can walk out to Cramond Island, which is well worth a visit.
An Indian and a Chinese take-away are advertised in the information room - we tried them both and found them both excellent.
We would recommend using the bus to get into Edinburgh as parking is difficult to find and traffic is horrendous at the moment (half of the city centre is being dug up for the installation of a tram system and the other half is all one way so you know where you want to go but end in going in the completely wrong direction).
We will certainly return to this site.

We started our summer holiday here, this was the 1st time we'd been to this site but we'll be back again.
As you would except from a CC site the pitches are large enough and the shower / toilet blocks are kept to a high standard. There is a dog walk on site which my bull terrier loved because the trail was through a wood. The site also has a WIFI connection for those who want to surf the web from their own van.
Great travel links to the city centre with a bus stop outside the site gates, for those who wish to drive its about 4 miles.
The area is going through redevelopment with a new school and homes also being built. There are shops close by which we walked to, the area looked rough but the staff in Somefields, Chinese take away & off licence were all very friendly.
If fitness is your thing then there is a golf course bordering the site and you can do as much walking as your legs can take along the shoreline.
You are in the flight path of Edinburgh airport but you get used to it. As said before there does appear to be a bit of an unofficial race track at night for the local boy racers, we combated that by getting a central pitch.

As per the previous comment, good bus links to the city centre. The site is up to the usual CC standards, clean well run, well laid out. If you are a light sleeper though, this may not be the place for you, with the site being in the landing path for the airport and the roadway out front doing a passable impression of Brands Hatch at some ungodly hours (3:00 am and 4:00 am).
There are shops local (within 1 mile 'ish). The local area does give the impression of being 'run down', but there is some obvious re-development going on, so by the time you visit, the area may be totally different. On a more positive note, there is a good promenade for walking and if you like a round of golf, the golf course is close to the site. All in all, my wife and I enjoyed our stay here, and will visit again in a couple of years.

An excellent site for sightseeing in the city, with easy bus connections right outside the gate. Buy a 'day ticket' for £2.50 and use the buses as 'hop on/hop off' lifts around the city centre to cut down on some of the walking - great value. The art galleries and museums are free, and we spent many hours there.
Facilities on site are up to the usual excellent Club standards (although the piped music in the shower block had disappeared on our visit. Some hate it, but I'd rather hear music than the ablutions of my fellow campers!)
However, it's not somewhere I'd recommend for a relaxing break on-site. It's under the flight path for the nearby airport, the road outside the fence can be busy and there was a lot of noise from nearby playing fields. If peace and quiet are your thing, this isn't the place to be.

We have used this site twice now and love it, a nice plesant and very well run CC site. I have seen people commenting on the site being like a prison camp ie high fences and cctv cameras around the site, yes they are there, but you dont notice them easily as hedges have grown to hide the fence and the cameras are of the small variety, and after all they are there to protect us and our vans.
The wardens were very polite and helpful and the site upto the CC very high stanards, I love the area being just over the road from the beach and firth of forth.
We would both recomend and use this again and again.

Been to this site a few times now as it's only 40 minutes away and great for a quick night away. As with most CC sites there's no bar/club but it is fantastically maintained, always spotless. The toilets/shower block are always clean and pleasant and the piped music is pleasant when in the shower. Staff are always friendly and on hand to help if required. Not really withing walking distance to any pubs or restaurants but you can get the bus right at the entrance which will take you to the city centre in about 15 minutes and even bring you back at 3 in the morning if you decide to make a night of it. Late checkout never been a problem if you need to stay that bit longer to sober up a little!

Use this site a lot in winter as it is less than an hour from home.
Well laid out, friendly staff and good facilities. Could do without the piped music in the loos, Abba on panpipes! Though my best mates two year old is entranced by it!
Easy access despite city location, though the actual CC directions take you a bit of a long way round, fair enough if you don't know the area though.
A bit off putting is the nearby flats in Pilton which are rather run down, but never had an issue with security on this site.
