We stayed 3 nights in a wigwam in July. It was a pleasant surprise. Electric kettle, fridge and freeview TV! It was warm and quiet and very comfortable for 3 people. My only critisism and it's easily rectified is that when we arrived on the Friday they said the site was quite so only 2 shower blocks were open. If that was quite I can't imagine what busy must be like! Unfortunately this meant long queues in the morning - 40 mins! Which bites into your day a good bit. The staff at the Stable Bar next door were friendly and there was a good choice of meals. Bus service was easy to use so our car never moved the whole weekend! We'll definately be back.

Marked pitches for tents and camper vans are Show more

Marked pitches for tents and camper vans are assigned, using remote cameras to check the actual space from the reception office. Sometimes too cramped for a family tent + car, less than the legal 6 m distance in between tents, So get to know your fellow campers. Meanwhile, carry one of the picknick benches over to your own pitch. At present (Aug 08) after a lot of rain and flooding they only accept people who booked. Building of hard pitches has begun so you won't have to wait for the tractor to drag your caravan from the mud. Be sure to take your wellies. I assume better drainage is planned. Also, there still are too few showers but they are free! The location remains ideal for visiting Edinburgh, either by bus or car, and the camping is a comfortable 3 hours drive from the ferry at Newcastle.

Have been going for three years now and love it! It is ideal for seeing Edinburgh. You just hop on the bus that is every 20 mins just outside site! Even when it is very busy there is still loads of room for all.
