A one night stay (actually on the10th as I had to change original booking) as I had a very early morning pick up at the airport. Easy booking, friendly and informative staff and a lovely, modern, clean and warm toilet/shower block. Information was sent by email before arrival which was handy. I will definitely come here again if I visit Edinburgh as I’m told it’s easy to go via park and ride into the city. Only 20 mins from the airport too.
Great little pitch

When we arrived, reception was closed, so there was a little confusion on where to sign in but once that was resolved, it was a dream. Come and go as we pleased. Very clean and nice shower block. The limited interaction with staff was very positive. One thing to note is that it's very close to an airport, so if you're a light sleeper, the almost constant planes could disturb you. We didn't get a chance to use the park but it looked fun for kids. Definitely will consider staying here again if we ever go to Scotland again.
Polished perfection

Fantastic campsite! The nicest bathroom facilities I've ever had the pleasure to use. Only dropped 1 star for location, and that was only because the airport was a little noisy. But, I knew about the airport before booking, so I won't moan about that. A lovely quiet site, in a very rural part of Scotland. A walk or short drive to the stunning forth bridge and less than 8 miles from Edinburgh city centre. I will be returning, hopefully for more than just 1 night next time and possibly not in the middle of a storm.
Lovely site

It's a lovely site. Very tidy and the toilet facilities are lovely. They are an open and friendly site, you don't feel like you are being watched or monitored. Not far to Edinburgh, I will go again.
Excellent and deserving of awards

Simply outstanding. Facilities like new, high quality and spotlessly clean. Staff were welcoming and helpful. The site is well laid out and peaceful. Catch an Uber to the Park and Ride near the airport, then take the tram into Edinburgh. So good we are returning very soon.
Outstanding attention to detail

2 nights in a VW camper. The site was great, Jean and Jim were really helpful. The kitchen on-site was a bonus. The showers blocks were great and about a 15 mins drive from the park and ride tram to city (40 mins to Princes Street) . The code is on gate, so there were no time restrictions.

An excellent location, a good pitch with an electric hookup. There was an amazing brand new shower block, with great showers and some essentials in case you ran out. The campsite kitchen was spacious, with added extras like an air fryer, but we had a takeaway delivered!
Loved it

The campsite is a bit farther outside of Edinburgh, perfect for a calm stay. It's clean, calm and pretty. It has everything you might ever need, from a washing room to a kitchen, to heated toilets and shower, even a dog shower is provided. They have a little shop for small necessities on the site and you wake up to birds singing and bunnies hopping around your tent. Absolutely great stay.

Fantastic site, great location, near the park and ride for a day trip to Edinburgh. Only downside is that it is near the airport, so low flying planes do wake you early! Okay if you're a heavy sleeper xx
Great location for onward travel

Great campsite close to Edinburgh and the airport. This was a perfect stopover for us at the end of our trip. Super-clean, great facilities and lovely helpful staff. Be aware that you will hear aircraft noise as it's near the airport, but this is also one of its major advantages so not a criticism. The kitchen facilities were an absolute blessing after cooking in a van for 10 days, and the shower rooms beautifully clean.

A clean well run site. We stayed an extra night. When booking we didn't realise that it was so close to Edinburgh airport flight path, but I enjoy watching aeroplanes, so Brucie bonus there. Would stay again if in the area again.

We stayed for 3 nights Friday through Sunday as we were attending an event in Edinburgh nearby. It was also our first time camping and it was great. Place was really peaceful, toilets and showers were amazing and clean. Can't wait to stay again.

Had a great stay at Linwater. The facilities were impeccable. Very clean and the showers were great. Would definitely visit again. Warning about all the pot holes on the road leading to it, but not the site's fault.

The location and site itself are very good, with spacious pitches. It was very useful to have easy access to the Park and Ride for trips into the city by tram. The showers etc were very clean and modern, although it's irritating to have to keep pressing the button before water flows from the shower. The laundry is also clean and well kept and the washing machines very efficient. However we would not recommend using the dryers, which took many repeats before clothing was dry. They do offer a line for drying if it's not already occupied. Ideally bring your own line! The staff were friendly and helpful and there's a useful shop for basics. We would stay there again if in the area.

This was our first stay at Linwater Caravan Park and we would definitely recommend it. The pitches were very spacious, the facilities were of a high standard and staff were welcoming and helpful. The site was quiet and peaceful and there was a nice dog walk. There was a shop on site to buy essentials plus lots of local shops reasonably close by. The transport links into the centre of Edinburgh were excellent. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would book again.

An excellent site roomy, between other campers. A warm welcome and the staff are always available to help. Lots to do in surrounding area, the five sisters zoo was very good and a lot cheaper than Edinburgh zoo. The park and ride to go into the city centre was excellent value for money and easy to get to. Overall an excellent site and location will definitely return in the future.
