Just 7 km from Edinburgh's historic centre, with a bus stop at the entrance providing direct service to the city every 12 minutes.
The park is located 7 km from Arthurs Seat, the University of Edinburgh, and the National Museum of Scotland, and 8 km from Edinburgh Waverley station, Edinburgh Castle, and the Real Mary King's Close. Edinburgh Airport is 20 km away. The number 11 bus runs from the entrance to the city centre, taking 20-45 minutes depending on traffic, with a day ticket costing £5. Taxis cost approximately £17. The site is near the Morningside area and a large garden centre, offering a convenient base for exploring Edinburgh while enjoying a quiet, green setting.

Accommodation

Caravans and mobile homes include private bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens, and central heating, with bedding and towels provided.
Accommodation options are static caravans with 3 bedrooms and additional sleeping in the lounge, sleeping up to 8 people. Each unit features a private bathroom with shower, a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, oven, hob, toaster, and cookware, plus a TV and central heating. Cots are available on request. Some caravans are modern and well-maintained, while others may show signs of wear. Pitches for touring vehicles are available with electric hookup, but can be narrow, unlevel, and muddy in wet weather; levelling blocks are recommended. Off-site parking for cars may apply for some pitches at an extra charge.

Dining

The Stables bar and restaurant serves reasonably priced meals and drinks, open to residents and visitors.
The Stables bar on site offers a selection of food and drink, noted for its quality and value. It is popular, so booking a table in advance is recommended, especially on weekends. The garden centre at the entrance also has a café serving breakfast and light meals. Campers can use the new campers' kitchen with microwaves, kettles, and toasters. Caravan kitchens are fully equipped for self-catering, with most essentials provided. A small on-site shop sells daily necessities.

Wellness and Leisure

The park features a children's playground, games room, and walking trails, with Highland cows on the grounds.
Leisure options include a playground for children, a games room with video games, and extensive walking trails through the park's green spaces. The property is home to Highland cows, which can be seen grazing. For outdoor activities, the Pentland Hills are a short drive away. There is no swimming pool, spa, or organised entertainment on site. The peaceful setting is ideal for families and those wanting a quiet base.

Reception, shop, laundry, and a new campers' kitchen are available; internet is limited to Wi-Fi zones near the main buildings.
The site has a reception desk open until 8pm, a well-stocked shop, and a laundry room (£4.50 per wash, coin-operated). A new shower block and campers' kitchen with microwaves, kettles, and toasters serve touring guests. Wi-Fi is not available in caravans but can be accessed in designated zones near reception and the bar. Parking is on site, but some pitches require an additional fee for car parking.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the bus 11 stop at the entrance for direct and affordable access to Edinburgh city centre (£5 day ticket, runs every 12 minutes).

  • 02

    Book a table at The Stables bar in advance, especially on weekends, as it is popular with both residents and visitors.

  • 03

    Bring levelling blocks if travelling in a motorhome, as many pitches are sloping and not fully level.

  • 04

    Arrive after the official check-in time of 16:00 to avoid waiting, as early access is typically not accommodated.
