 Unfortunately I was told they no longer accept motohomes or tourers now, this was a good site, central location close to the centres, with some great shops and activity on in the town, food fairs and Gin festivals, but no longer available.

Back to this site for the 4th time with the caravan and have stayed with a tent before that.
Touring part of the site appears to be moving over to seasonal pitches. The result of that is that as it was midweek there were only 4 - 6 units occupied resulting in us almost having the showers to ourselves.
That made the showers excellent as having only 3 for both male and females they can't cope with a full site especially when cleaning leaves a bit to be desired.
Rumour has it that they are trying to move to all seasonal pitches which if correct would be a shame as the location is wonderful.
We'll be back but off-peak and midweek if they'll have us!

Lovely site. We had a pitch right on the sea. Views were magnificent. It’s a very peaceful play, site was full but hardly seen a soul.
Toilets and showers were nearby and were pretty much what to expect. Though the continuous shower was a very welcome surprise instead of those horrible 10 second button ones!
We would definitely return it’s so quiet and peaceful and there’s lovely walks into Crail along the Fife Coastal Path where you can continue to enjoying those fabulous views

We chose this site as we liked the location and a friend had recommended, however, would agree with a lot of the previous reviews that there are major issues with the site and we would not return in spite of the excellent location.
Firstly, our pitch was exceedingly narrow, we returned from a cycle ride to find a new caravan plus awning about 6-8 feet from our door. We have our leisure door on the driver side, they had on the passenger side, so there was absolutely no privacy for either of us. They were very apologetic, and had pitched up as far away as possible.
Ours was not the only pitch affected, on walking around it was obvious that the owners have valued quantity over quality in laying out the pitches.
The toilet block is badly in need of extension or replacement. As mentioned by others, there are only 3 showers for all of the tourers on site, and the door would not close on 1 of these, so only 2 were functional, ludicrous considering that there is a swimming pool on site. I have no great issue with unisex shower cubicles, but the area was chaotic in the afternoon with hordes trying to get showered after using the swimming pool and I can understand some peoples' concern regarding unsupervised children.
If the site was cheap I would probably have been less unhappy, but at £27 per night, (plus charging £3 for 1GB WiFi on only 1 device), this is massively overpriced.

We were delighted that St Andrews was fully booked so we headed to Crail & found Sauchope.
An absolutely stunning location & very well looked after site, perhaps a higher price compared to other sites but the view is well worth it.
Our only gripe is what previous reviewers have said. That for the size of this site 3x unisex showers are not enough & in today's world Unisex for me is a total NO & not suitable. There were kinds running around naked in the wc/shower block corridor with no parents to be seen & that was alarming as nobody should have to witness that and if you have children then keep them under your eyes & total control at all times.
Also there were kids kicking a ball on the caravan park when it clearly states on the site regulations that No balls are permitted. Again it is up to the parents to control their children and respect other holidaymakers on the site.

As others have said, this site is in an excellent position, right on the coast and an excellent walk into the village. The first part is the Touring site with the Residentials beyond with expensive chalets! This is our fourth visit in 8 years and it is only 30 miles form home, but we still think it is worth going back. They need to pay a bit more attention to detail, the instructions for the code to get into the Toilet Block says enter code and then turn to the right, which works at one end but at the other end you must turn it to the left! The actual showers are fine, it is the users that let them down. Once you know to take paper towel to dry the seat and an old towel to lay on the floor, they work fine. A better design and better cleaning and not being unisex would be better but you can work with what is there. We will keep going back for the location.

This site has glamping and lodges as well as touring pitches. Its on the coastal path a short walk into Crail. The shower block is very tired and the 3 individual showers are unisex. We have been on much better sites for the same cost.

Firstly I must repeat other peoples views that this is a stunning location, literally on the beach as it were.
Unfortunately for us the weather had just turned quite nasty as we had arrived and also bearing in mind the month probably did not do it justice.
The site looked well maintained, and is a mixture of statics and touring plots.
The toilets were slightly confusing to us at first as M & F can access either side of the block with female and male toilets separated inside, slightly disconcerting while we were there as a group of kids had deemed it a designated playground. There were also three showers for either Male or female. Also a laundry although we did not explore that option.
Washing up facilities were at the rear of the block.
For once my trusty TV aerial failed me totally. My mobile (Virgin) and with it internet was non existent. To be fair other regular campers had no trouble TV wise, but I did not enquire about mobiles.
This was important for me (phone wise) and despite walking in every direction for a good distance could not improve it.
It goes to show the generosity of the Scottish people, that someone who I had previously only communicated with on this site offered to drive from 38 miles away to bring us a TV aerial that he knew worked there (many thanks for the offer Vangoman), Mòran taing or as we say, thanks butt.
As mentioned the weather was pretty bad and from the comfort of the van we watched some of the fishermen retrieving their lobster pots hats off here.
Complain about the price of Oil, gas or electric but seafood, how can you?.
We also done the walk to the harbour and seen the fisherman we had seen numerous times in front of us come in, his wife and children were on the harbour wall cheering him in.
Now anyone who has had kids could not fail (like myself ) to have something hit them in the eye at that point.
I had a fairly high risk job but to watch that man risk his life,
He has my total admiration.
The only downside, due to the non existent phone signal we could not stay there our planned time, when my wife explained we had three days booked but would have to leave, it was a case of tough luck. Now in peak times I can understand this but when they could hardly fill half of the site?. Very difficult to get in touch with the company afterwards.
Had the company representative said we will meet you halfway, come back and see us next year with this voucher for a discount(nothing racist here) but I don't think the lady (Polish?) grasped what the wife was saying.
Back on a high note, the village butcher has the widest smile ever and refuses to take money, go to the hatch for that(his wife?) H&S must be well pleased with them, he will not touch the money.
His food, exceptional. The Chippie had a great reputation, sadly we never used it, friendly Coop, people, superb.
Trying to be fair here, would I visit again, perhaps. Worth a visit, definitely
The lobster fisherman we talked to with his family, stay safe Butt.
Would not have missed it.
Regards,
Greg

We arrived here on Tuesday, what a stunning location.
Most of the pitches have a sea view, some right on the coastline. Some pitches were on a slope so had to use levellers.
Showers/toilets/wash up area were nice and clean. Although there are only 3 showers for the site, we never had a problem, hubby had to queue one morning for a few minutes. I went at night and there wasn't a problem then, showers nice and hot and not one of those push button types. There is a pool on site which is good, although we never used it.
Walked along the coastal path into the harbour, it's beautiful. Hubby had fresh lobster bought from a small hut there. Gorgeous.
A lovely site, would return, no problem.

Absolutely loved this place. Found it by chance one evening - followed the signs from village centre down narrow access road - but what a view. Feels like you are actually on the beach. We saw Dolphins the first evening we were there - what a bonus. The staff were lovely and very helpful, the static area is large but beautifully kept. Toilet block is more than adequate with excellent modern facilities. Lovely walk along coast path into Crail in one direction, or just along beautiful coast in the other. Crail is a lovely village well worth a visit. Lovely site - will definitely return.
