Depends what you want fron the site.  Just use UKCS's excellent mapsearch facility and consult the reviews.

Generally, Edinburgh sites and public transport for visiting city centre are very good indeed.

What sort of outfit do you have? We have stayed at Mortonhall and the Caravan Club site on visits to Edinburgh. There are bound to be reviews on here.

Just over 7.5 miles to the zoo from Mortonhall. We were there a few weeks ago, excellent site. We will return.

Was going to suggest both Linwater and Mortonhall.  They are both great sites.  Hope you get something sorted

 I would also reccomend Linwater which is near to Edinburgh and there is a park + ride quite close which i think is easier to use the buses than drive in the city.

A mile further than Mortonhall, so not much in it.

Edinburgh Caravan Club site - well laid out, clean, good value for money, easy access to town!

I would recommend Linwater, it is very handy for the Park and Ride near the Airport which stops right outside the Zoo
