A note from the site themselves...

Silverburn is the former estate of The Russell family who were owners of the Tullis Russell paper making business. The site has since been sold multiple times, even once being a mini zoo with exotic animals.

In 2013, Fife Council chose Fife Employment Access Trust (FEAT) as the preferred partner to take over the management and regeneration of the park under a lease. Since then, we have secured funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. We have put great efforts into our revigorated biodiversity onsite and will continue to do more!

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Campervan PitchesOct 2024

Great site, the location was perfect for beach walks, forest walks and visiting Leven town centre. There was a park and other amenities nearby for children. Walled garden and the cafe nearby, were perfect for us too. Great food and drink at the cafe. We had a lovely time and had a great welcome on arrival.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Campervan PitchesSep 2024

A lovely campsite. It could just do with a grey water grid near the campervan / motorhome park, as we had to carry a bowl full at a time of waste water all the way round to the wash sink area, as I didn't have anything bigger! Also could do with a shower & toilet in the same field. We were lucky it wasn't busy or we would have been back & to, to check if they were empty (couldn't see from our site) The toasties from the little café were lovely too.
