Opened in 2005 Nydie is set in 10 acres, approximately 3 miles from St Andrews and offers fantastic views of St. Andrews,the golf course and its bay.The site has a male and female shower and toilet blocks with free hot water and a camp kitchen with sink,table and chairs and a stand to put cookers on.This proves very useful in bad weather for people in small tents without a communal area.Alongside these facilities the site has 25 electric hook ups,(9 for caravans/16 for tents) 6 Woodwams (3 wee ones and 3 large ones). The site has it's own play area with swings and slide, 7 aside football pitch and plenty of space for playing various ball games.Chemical disposal and space for at least 40 family sized tents.The site is a short walk from Strathkinness where there are 2 childrens play parks and a pub serving food 7 days. The site is family and pet friendly and is an ideal base for exploring St Andrews and the East Neuk of Fife.

Nydie Caravan and Camping Site Site is well layed out and pitches are spacious and well maintained. The playpark is excellent and can be sen from all over the site. The electric hook-ups are great for the tents, easily accessed and in excellent condition. The showers and toilets were always clean. The laundry and washing up facilities were good. No other entertainment on site but you are relatively close to St Andrews and can easily drive there. There is a local pub at strathkiness about a 15 min walk away. The staff were friendly and very accomodating. Being at the top of a hill it was pretty windy when we were there but that's the weather for you not much you can do about that. Overall a lovely well maintained site which I would return to. Type of accommodation: Tent Date: 26/07/2017 Was this review helpful for you? 0 of 0 found this review to be helpful.

Nydie Caravan and Camping Site Lovely clean and well run campsite close to St. Andrews and lovely beeches. It s a high site so can be a bit windy but owners have put up windbreaks to help. We had fabulous weather so it was not an issue. Grass well kept with spacious pitches and clean toilets and showers. Owners very friendly and helpful. Lots of room for the kids to run around, we had a really good time and would certainly go back.

Nydie Caravan and Camping Site Hi we are just back from a fantastic trip to this campsite, we were two families, with five kids ranging from 4-13 years old, we had a wonderful time, the weather was awesome. We found the site had everything and more, clean facilities, huge open pitches, massive green in which to play games on, owners who were always onsite and helpful, amazing views of St Andrews and fife, we had two greta trips to St Andrews and the beaches, tucking into lots of ice cream from janettas, loads to do for the kids and great fire pits to sit round at night. We also had a wheelchair user in our group, the site was accessible and has accessible facilities, we would definitely go back!

Nydie Caravan and Camping Site 26th July 2011. Just back from a three night stay at Nydie, what a find this is a gem of a site. We were welcomed by Sue who showed us to our pitch which was overlokking St Andrews bay. Plenty of room between tent pitches and grass cut short. Toilets and showers spotless and there was a seperate disabled shower and toilet. Shop stocked basic essentials but St Andrews and Cupar were only ten minutes away. We forgot our table but were able to hire one from the site. Sue and Sam were very helpful. Would recomend this site to anyone who wants to a peaceful and relaxing break.

Nydie Caravan and Camping Site Just back from our second visit this year to this site and it most definitely wont be the last. Lovely spotless site just a five minute drive from St Andrews. Two boys loved the freedom of being able to go to the park and play football in the big field without Mum & Dad hot on their heels. Toilet facilities were immaculate and more than ample for all on a busy weekend. The staff on the site are always close at hand and go way beyond the call of duty to be helpful. Perfect site if you are looking for peace & quiet with lovely views over the sea. Can't wait to go back.

Nydie Caravan and Camping Site Just back from a weekend at this site. Enjoyable - a basic site but a nice location and clean facilities. This is clearly a great site for families, particularly extended families and/or family groups with large tents, as it doesn't have set 'pitches' and there were two large family groups camping there while I was there, who were able to set up adjacent tents. However as a lone camper looking for peace and quiet, this wasn't great - particularly when the campsite owner apparently directed one group to camp practically on top of me (I was surprised they managed to squeeze their 4x4 in without running over my tent - that close...) There's 10 acres of space, guys... I moved my tent in the end. I often camp as part of a group of women and kids, and I'd come back to do that, but probably not on my own. Great site for kids though, plenty of room to run around! Type of accommodation: Tent Date: 16/05/2010 Was this review helpful for you? 6 of 10 found this review to be helpful.

Nydie Caravan and Camping Site We have just returned from a lovely two night stay at this campsite. We have three young children aged 5,6 and 8, it was their first ever camping trip. The welcome we received from the owners was warm and welcoming, and they were always there on-site, if there were any queries. The owners sold all sorts on-site including frshly picked strawberries and luxury, locally made, ice-cream, plus of course eggs, teabags etc. The facilities were cleaned regularily. There is one smallish toilet block with separate ladies and gents toilets and showers. The ladies had two showers and two toilets, plus sinks. The mens had one shower and one toilet. The showers were always fantastically hot! The owners have also brought in a few portaloos and they are at the farside of the camp. This was due to the fact that the site was very busy! However, there was never really any bother getting a shower or even getting to use a toilet at the block. It was rare to have to wait! Good area for washing up, attached to toilet block - three fullsize sinks and drainers. Also chemical disposal, if you need it. The site was always well maintained and bins emptied frequently. A very tidy site! The site has a lovely new play area for children plus football goals. Our children were extremely happy with it all. They played for hours each day and made loads of friends. Electric hook ups for tents and carvans/motorhomes line the top of the field at the back. The rest of the site gently slopes downward. Good flat spaces too. We were allowed to choose where we wanted to go. As we did not require electric hook-up we ended up pitching our tent about a third of a way down. We had fantastic views of the estuary, plus could see the play area too, whilst enjoying a yummy glass of red wine! Nice friendly tavern down the road in the village, plus a couple of play areas on the way there too. We walked it, but there is not a pavement until you get into the village of Strathkinness. Despite it being busy, there was a big feeling of spaciousness. We had superb views over the estuary/ bay by St Andrews. It is a peaceful, clean and friendly site. We will be returning in the near future. Type of accommodation: Tent Date: 09/08/2009 Was this review helpful for you? 5 of 9 found this review to be helpful.

Nydie Caravan and Camping Site Thought this site was brill! Lovely open views over the sea and fields. Beautiful sun-sets and sun-rises! The owners were very helpful and friendly and worked very hard to get it right. The new play area is great for the kids, and ours were delighted with the football goals. The wee shop is very useful. The toilets were kept clean and loo-roll, soap, washing liquid replenished. The showers were a great temperature and really powerful! Better 2 power showers than 4 trickily showers!! However, the site is proving so popular that the owners are planning to expand the bathroom facilities. The women's are adequate at the moment with 2 toilets and 2 showers but, the men's have only one toilet and one shower. This site is in a fantastic position and there is so much to do in the area - St Andrews, East Neuk villages, Secret Bunker . . . There is a lovely chilled atmosphere and we can't wait to return!

Nydie Caravan and Camping Site we took our three children to nydie campsite, the site was very peacefull and welcoming! the whole site can be viewed from wherever you pitch up, a real bonus for keeping an eye on the children playing. The owner was very helpful and friendly and has a selection of toys he makes available for children on site to play with. Showers and toilets are basic but very clean. we would reccomend anybody looking for a family friendly site to book this. Many interesting and fun attractions are only a short drive away. we will definatly return to the site and reccomend it to friends and colleagues.

Nydie Caravan and Camping Site We spent our first camping trip at Nydie in May this year and had a fantastic time. What may well have ended in disaster was sorted by the very helpful owner finding and giving us a spare jubilee clip for our camping stove and a screwdriver at 10pm on the night we arrived - excellent help! It was a perfect location for us and the children. Quiet and plenty of open space at the centre of the campsite for the kids to run around in. Our children loved it! It was such a relaxing space and just what we were looking for. We have recommended Nydie to a few friends and will definately be returning.

Nydie Caravan and Camping Site Just returned from a great weekend at Nydie. The site is very friendly and laid back and Sam, the owner, is on hand if you have any questions and will even bring stones for BBQs to your tent. The site is quite new and this is reflected in the facilities. The showers / toilet blocks are small and would become very busy if the site gets busy. There is a large central recreation area but no playpark for children. That said, Strathkinnes is less than a mile away with two large, well equiped play parks. Overall, this is a great value for money site in a great location. Type of accommodation: Tent Date: 06/07/2009 Was this review helpful for you? 12 of 16 found this review to be helpful.
