 Very clean modern shower facilities and well maintained.

All team members we encountered were so friendly, shop lady and the ladies in the bar.

Location has it all, close to Elie, it’s own beach 1min away, fantastic play park area and dining available.

Would return for sure if in the area, 10/10, well done 👏🏻

 Hard to book weekends, but, they have been offering 5 nights 4 price of 4 cheep week days away. Was still in lockdown and so minimal staff interaction. Cafes pub and restaurant limited re lockdown.

Beautiful beach and walksat site also at elie with water sports and great beaches/walks(1 mile away)

Excellent play area for kids

Popular site so busy

 Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Shell Bay caravan park!

By far the best we’ve been to this year ( so far)

We’ve booked again real soon very well maintained site. Very safe for families and very dog friendly.

With the added bonus of the beach 😎

 Beautiful site in cracking location. This is not our first visit but what is there not to like.

Beautiful scenery, friendly atmosphere and clean facilities in these testing times.

Not surprised that it is very busy this year as we had a look to come again.

See you all again soon. 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

 Big site but nice situation near beach and coastal path. Pitch hardstanding and level, close to beach. Washrooms reasonably modern, kept clean.

Reasonable space between pitches. Cos of covid shop and cafe etc not open.

Might be a bit hectic with kids in summer holidays but fine in October!

 Lovely location next to beach with great walks. Play park is excellent but older children hang around it so not always suitable for younger children.

This is a big busy site, I was on a tourer pitch in a large field area. When the site is full you are surrounded by caravans quite close together with no privacy. Pitches are uneven.

This site is big, busy and noisy but has good facilities, shower block is excellent. If you like the feel of a busy holiday park then this site is for you.

Reviewer: Caroli 1 review from this member

 Spent 3 nights here camping with grandkids, plenty for them to do with playpark, cycling, beach and walks.

Site at night was very noisy with people sitting outside till late drinking and singing, could do with a park warden to keep the noise levels down.

Toilets clean and well maintained.

Carry out food available which was good and quickly available.

Reviewer: MadNurseGaz 11 reviews from this member

 Without allowing my opinion to be influenced by Covid19 restrictions, This is a great campsite. Tucked away in the wilds of Fife, this big site is very popular. From the long drive into the site, you come into the "complex" area. Here is reception, the site shop, the restaurant, and the bar.

The bar and reception were unfortunately closed to campers at the moment. The restaurant is open early evenings for takeaway food. Face coverings and social distancing are enforced in the shop. There are many static caravans around the site (this is Abbeyford Leisure's main business), but the large terraced touring field slopes gently down to the dunes and beach at the bottom of the site.

Pitches are both grass and hard-standing, with 10amp EHUs the norm. Water standpipes are within easy reach of most pitches, too. The shower and toilet blocks were well cleaned and almost always immaculate.

A separate accessible toilet and shower were available, and again always immaculate, although the room was colder than the other showers. The sanitary blocks were protected by numeric keycode locks, with a different code for the accessible unit.

Chemical toilet waste disposal points were in at least 2 locations around the site.

Locally, most attractions remain closed due to Covid19, but in "normal" circumstances there's lots to do locally.

A short drive to Anstruther takes you to the Anstruther Fish Bar, an award-winning fish & chip restaurant, and for an amazing seafood lunch, a furher short drive to the seafood shack on Crail harbour will see you eating the freshest lobster and crab you'll find anywhere!

If you book your stay at Elie Holiday Park online, there are free nights and other discounts available. Our 7-night stay cost £129.

There are superb views from the dunes at the bottom of the site, over the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh and the Lothians, including the parked oil rigs!

Supermarkets are available in Leven and St. Andrews, and the nearest petrol station (a Calor Gas stockist) is 2-3 miles away in Colinsburgh.

There's a super Pirate themed play park for the kids on site, too!

Reviewer: Magsons1 5 reviews from this member

 Site was in a nice location, enjoyed the ease of contactless booking in. Views were stunning, even the bay with the oil rigs were kind of spectacular.

Pitch seemed a little uneven, and was, could do with a little remedial work to level a bit.

Shower block was clean and well presented, although not big enough for the site when full.

Water and waste water wasn’t plentiful in respect of having only three fresh water standpipes, and grey waste was a little bit of a trek to the shower block, which was a drain in the middle of what looked like a Motorhome parking bay for emptying waste.

Not sure about that one.

Bar was doing takeaway as was cafe I think, but takeaway beer isn’t really my thing.

Nice stay and certainly would be going back at some point.

Weather was ok

Reviewer: Alan551 13 reviews from this member

 Just returned from 4 nights at Elie holiday park and sadly it will be a while before we return.

The site has now become a home for travellers and their commercial vans which scoot about the site at all hours, not on the road I may add but between other vans and tents to the disregard of any other holiday makers.

This site was a great family holiday park at one time but sadly no more

Teenagers are drinking in the pirate ship play area late into the night and leaving glass tumblers strewn around which is fairly evident in the morning.

Could this be due to no security or touring wardens on site after 6. 00 oclock.

So come on Elie management get a grip and return this site to its former glory
