Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)
Liked: Location - lovely having a site in the middle of the country park. Great flat pitches. Good pop-up campsite. Convenient for accessing Edinburgh and the Lothians. Good public transport links as well as road access.
Disliked: Toilet and shower block could do with being cleaned to better a standard. Backs of toilet doors were dirty and shower water just pooled in the doorway rather than having a drain to take it away.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear you loved our campsite. We appreciate your feedback regarding the toilet and shower block. Although toilets are checked and cleaned hourly during opening hours, we will aim to improve this standard for next year. We hope to welcome you back again next year.

Liked: It was very safe and convenient park with lots of land for walk and all other activities for children's, plus it was near to Edinburgh city too which we as a family want to visit. Their is a lots of food shop near by too in the main high street which was in front of the park main gate. My children's really enjoyed the trip. Shower and toilet was clean enough yes it depends on eveyeron how we used these facilities.
Disliked: Didn't like the main gate closed times. It was close 7pm and open in the morning at 7am too.
