 Large 146 pitch site set in hilltop wooded location by Firth of Forth 3 ½ miles from Edinburgh centre. Spacious pitches, two toilet blocks and helpful and friendly wardens.
The promenade by the Firth is accessed via a 100 step staircase outside the site entrance, providing a 2 mile walk to Cramond, with its lovely harbour, dog friendly Cramond Inn, and Cramond Island (1 mile walk only accessible at low tide). Surprisingly pleasant promenade with stunning views of Firth and the Islands, the Firth Bridge and surrounding lowland scenery, but no shelters have been provided. Pity considering the downpours of rain, it is Scotland!
A minibus service is provided by Cramond Taxis running directly from the site into Edinburgh centre at £ 5. 00/person return. The bus runs every half hour from the site in the mornings (9. 30 until 1. 00), then a pre-booked return collection from Edinburgh (4. 30 – 9. 00pm).
Morrison’s supermarket is just over 1 mile from site.
No traffic noise, but site is under the flight path of Edinburgh airport and associated landing noise. Despite this good, relatively quiet location for visiting Edinburgh.

This is a well looked after site with plenty of space for your unit, friendly staff on hand to help.
All level pitches. You can walk about 15-20 mins to bus stops that will take you into the city if you don't fancy having the hassle of parking.
You can also walk the same distance the other way to the sea (firth of the forth) which has lovely walks along the prom. There is no shop as such on site but reception has a few necessities very clean toilets and showers with music piped through, which i think is a nice touch.
Small playground for small children, we parked by the road that runs by, but there not much traffic noise from it.

We are Caravan Club Members. We visited this site for a weekend on March 1st with our 3 children as our youngest daughter had a Basketball event in Edinburgh. Although we arrived at 7pm due to Road works delays, we were made welcome by the Warden and settled the bill in the morning. We found the site quite busy but found a good pitch.
The site is very level with large hardstandings. The layout is excellent with shrubs and trees and some hedges dividing pitches, the area around the reception was particularly well landscaped. There are grey squirrels and Magpies in abundance.
There are 2 toilet blocks and the one we used was very clean and large enough for the site. Our children used the small playpark at the site.
We could see the Forth Estuary from our pitch and it is only a short walk down to the waterfront. We visited Ocean Terminal at Leith with free parking and the Royal Botanical Gardens with on Street parking free at weekends both are only a short Drive away. There is a Large Morrisons and a Tesco both about 5 minutes drive.
On Saturday and Sunday there was slight noise from football matches being played adjacent to the site but this did not cause us any disturbance. A well recommended site and we will very likely return.

Well looked after site. Friendly and helpful wardens. Spotless showers and toilets 24 hours, with plenty of free hot water, same in dish washing area. We found it very quiet no bother the few planes we vaguely heard. Short walk to bus stop about ten minutes, great bus service (Lothian) drivers friendly and very helpful. Great place to be based for visiting Edinburgh. Looking forward to going back for another stay soon.

We had 4 nights at this site the week before Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed the break.
Ideal location with Cramond beach a 5 minute walk and Princes St. A 10 minute drive away.
Half the site was closed for the winter but the site was quiet so had plenty of pitches to choose from. Toilet block was nice and warm and spotless. Nice friendly greeting at reception and all the staff were happy to have a chat.
The weather was wet and wild on one of the days but the trees surrounding the site gave some shelter.
There is some noise from the planes but we didn't find it obtrusive.
We will definitely use this site for some short breaks in the future.

A very well maintained site. The shower blocks and toilets are clean and tidy and the showers you can adjust the water for your own temperature.
There is a small play ground for the children.
The beach is about five mins walk from the site and there is a lovely walk along side the river Almond but it is about 20 mins walk along the sea front to get there.
There is a mini bus that comes to the site between 9. 30 am and 11. 30 am to pick people up and take them into Edinburgh. The times back are between 4. 30 pm and 6. 30 pm. The nearest public transport is about 10-15 mins up the road to the right of the campsite.
The nearest shop is Morrisons about 15-20 mins up the road.
We did like the site but felt that it was a shame that we had to travel quite a distance from the site for things like places to eat, shops and public transport.
We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly.

Spent 8 nights at this site at the end of the Edinburgh festival.
The site is very well maintained, clean and tidy. There are two shower blocks which are well maintained and very clean. There is a little shop at reception, a tented area, nice information point and enormous pitches! The pitches really are big, maybe even a couple of metres wider than most, slightly sloped in places.
Turn right out of the gate and a ten minute walk takes you to the bus stop, the number 27 will take you past the botanic gardens and into the centre of Edinburgh. Or the number 16 will take you to the royal yacht Britannia and the oceanic terminal shopping centre. The number 27 arrives at the bus stop every 15 mins in the week and every 20 mins at the weekend. There are stops every 100 yards which can be annoying but at £1. 40 to anywhere in the city it's good value.
Turn left out of the gate and head along the road until you spot the promenade, it is about half a mile until you come across sandy beaches and you can walk for ages. A lot of this walk is away from traffic so good for kids and dogs.
The planes stop over night, so not really a bother, in fact it can be interesting to see what is taking off.
Although I am a caravanner and don't own a motor home I think this site would be good for motorhomes the bus service is good and there is a large morrisons 15 mins walk away. The number of motorhomes resident on the site while we were staying backs up my feelings that it is a good place for them!
Lots to do and see in the area, lots of resturants and food places - too many to mention here.

Spent 5 nights here as part of our tour of Scotland and enjoyed it thoroughly. The site is very busy, with people coming and going all the time. The pitches were very large and mostly flat, there is some noise from the road but not too much. There was also noise from aircraft going into the nearby airport, as we used the site as a base to explore the area, this wasn't too much of an issue and we soon got used to the noise anyway.
There are 2 shower blocks and they were upto the usual standards that you expect from the Club. Wardens were always out and about and always gave a cheery greeting.
We used the bus to get into Edinburgh, the stop is about a 10 minute walk away, there are 2 services, one of which goes all around the houses and the other goes a more direct route into the city. Can't remember the route no's, but I'm sure they'll tell you at reception. There is also a private bus direct from the site, but we thought this was overpriced.
Edinburgh is a lovely city, although in places it's a bit twee. It can be the sort of place, that foreign tourists expect it to be, if that makes sense. A visit to the castle is a must and we were delighted to find that we got in for nowt as we were members of English Heritage (or the National Trust - we visited so many places on this holiday, it was difficult to keep tabs). Anyway this saved us about £50!
The views are amazing, take the free guided tour if you can and go to the museum to see an actual French Eagle captured at Waterloo. Apparently they want it back - no chance! Also went to the Edinburgh Dungeon, great fun, but I get the impression, that if you've been to one, you've been to them all.
There is a golf course right next door, but didn't dare take the clubs, don't think she who must be obeyed would have been very happy, if I'd have disappeared for a few hours. There's is also a Toby carvery a short ride away for a nice cheap but delicious meal out, it is just about walk able, but our kids are still quite young and the weather was a bit dodgy, so we drove.

Just returned from a two night stay of this site. We were able to get a south facing pitch to enjoy the evening sunshine, just a shame a bit windy to sit out and make the most of it.
A lovely well kept site, excellent sized pitches, plenty of room for both an awning and car, no real rules as to how and where you park your car which is nice.
Toilet and shower block of high standard with plenty of hot water, and all kept very clean. We took advantage of the mini bus service into Edinburgh, £5. 00 per person return. A good service but not used enough by clients which I understand may be its downfall, so possibility of stopping this service. They drop you off/collect at the end of Princess street.
We took a lovely walk from the site along the promenade to Crammond island across the causeway, then walked into the village of Crammond to see the waterfall, returning to the site, taking us about 2 1/2 hours, well recommended.
The promenade will take you in the opposite direction towards the Docks. We did think that there are a lack of eating places in the area, certainly within walking distance, together with grocery shops, though the site does stock some basic items, eggs, bacon etc.
This is a site we will definitely return to.

I have used this site a number of times and although the staff do there job efficiently they don't go the extra mile. Maybe this is because it is a busy site and there is never a shortage of 'customers'.
Facilities good, but lack of public transport or local restaurants within easy walking distance is a disappointment.
Dog walk on site poor, but cross the road and lots of open space and beach for both our four legged friends and their companions.
