Third visit to this site.
Took two tents as had visting family, as always friendly welcome upon arrival quickly checked in and shown Pitches which helpfully were adjacent to each other (didn't specifically request this).
Site was busy but immaculate, facilities spotless and the indoor camp kitchen a great addition to their site.
Shop on site has essential items, gas, bread, milk etc and ice lollies & cold drinks for hot days.
Plane noise not intrusive and dog enjoyed the walks.
As only 30 minutes from home going to try some winter camping here this year 😁
Great site.

We have stayed on this site many times, always very friendly. On our last visit we arrived on a breakdown truck and owners were very helpful with providing names and phone numbers of local garages. As we were staying over New Year, there were some delays in getting the car fixed, so we had to leave the caravan a bit longer, which caused no problems at all.
The facilities are excellent, currently being updated.
Love the washing cubicles.
Wonderful dog walk along Mill Stream, can carry on along union Canal to the excellent Bridge at Rathough Inn, the provide fantastic meals, outside when it's fine, also a covered terrace and dogs are welcome in the bar, which also has a few tables.
Cramond Beach is nearby, at the mouth of the river Almond. There's a very nice cafe there.
Campsite owners provide lots of information about local area, shops and eateries.

What a great little site.
Very clean and looked after.
Friendly owners / staff.
Great location for visiting places.
Edinburgh, Glasgow, Falkirk, Stirling and Livingston to name a few.
As stated by others can be quite noisy due to planes flying over but if you are kept busy like we were during your stay you will sleep.
Would defo look to return if / when we choose to visit this area of Scotland again.

Excellent campsite with very friendly and helpful wardens. We are a retired couple and stayed here over four nights in early July.
We needed somewhere to leave our motorhome for two nights in the middle of this, while we flew to France to celebrate my brothers 70th birthday and they were so helpful, charging us only £2 per night we were away! They gave us the number of a local taxi and our fare to Edinburgh airport was about £18.
The facilities are spotless, the site a sun trap, the pitches were huge gravelled areas with grass alongside for each pitch. The laundry was a joy to use as the machine did a load in about half an hour which was great for us to get everything sorted after several weeks wild camping!
The dryer had broken but another was on order. The town is a short drive away with a Tesco, Co-op and chippy. The approach roads are a little rough, possibly due to heavy lorries working on the outskirts of the nearby town as they build more housing.
We would strongly recommend this campsite for touring in the area, or just a quiet break on site.

Lovely campsite close to Edinburgh. Friendly welcome from helpful staff. Good toilet facilities with disabled toilet/shower and laundry room. Popular children’s play area. Park and ride into Edinburgh nearby.

We stayed for two nights before the Bank Holiday and the site and amenities are very clean and well kept.
The dog walking is excellent and there are a few pubs within easy walking distance.
The wardens were very friendly and helpful and allowed us to leave the MH past booking out time whilst we went into Edinburgh by car to watch our Son run a marathon.
The planes did fly over, but didn't cause us any problems.
We would stay there again.

Electric hook up grass tent pitch booked. Pitch was massive, owners couldn't be any nicer. The toilets are gleaming. Site is a wee sun trap, you do get noise from the planes but it doesn't bother you much. Quiet wee site but lovely we will be back. Oh and local takeaways will deliver straight to your pitch! There is a kids playground. The shop has the essentials.

A lovely site, ideal for visiting Edinburgh and its region. The reception was very friendly, and gave us many advice and documents to help us visiting the Lothian.
Edinburgh is close and the camping is only at 15mn from the tram park+ride, so you can avoid to use your car and pay for a parking in town : parking is free and for 4£, you have an unlimited ticket for tram and bus in Edinburgh.
We stayed there 5 nights, but were a bit surprised by the weather: freezing temperatures and 3 inches of snow the second day + roads flooded were not expected!
Fortunately, the camping itself is very good : spotless modern and heathed facilities, large pitches (we were happy to have chosen a hardstanding one).
The only drawback is the main track inside the camping, that became very muddy with this weather, although the pitches were better gravelled and stayed very clean.

We booked four nights in the smallest of the 'timber tents', shaped like a Toblerone, in the week leading up to the Easter weekend.
Our overall impressions were positive despite some grim weather. The welcome was friendly, the mini-lodge was clean & comfortable and the site well placed for Edinburgh, the Pentland hills and Falkirk.
Washrooms were clean & pleasant though one shower in the ladies wasn't working.
There are two washing up sinks - lots of hot water & space but outside, under a small canopy situated at the eastern end of the washing block. This would normally work well with prevailing westerly winds but throughout our stay the so called 'Beast from the East' dominated the weather resulting in bitterly cold washing up sessions!
Any other negatives?
You should be aware you are under the flight path for the airport. Planes are coming & going every 10 mins or so from 6am until about 10pm. Great for plane spotting but not for those who are noise adverse.
Walking?
There is excellent walking on canal towpaths straight from the site. We would also recommend driving to Falkirk and walking between The Kelpies & the Falkirk Wheel - a round trip of about 8 miles but all on towpaths with parking, cafe & toilets at either end.
You can also use the canal network to walk to the Edinburgh climbing centre - there is a cafe with a view over the walls & you don't need to pay unless you are taking part in an activity.
The Pentland hills are a short drive from the site.
