Linwater Caravan Park Reviews

Excellent site

Excellent location, good pitch electric hookup, amazing brand new shower block with great showers and some essentials in case you ran out, camping kitchen spacious with added extras like air fryer but we had a takeaway delivered!

Loved it

I really loved it. I was with my family and they loved it as well. Facilities were really nice and value for money as well. I will definitely visit next time as well.

Great for exploring Edinburgh

The river walks nearby were lovely for my spaniel and I.

Great campsite

The camp site 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.

A 1 night pit stop

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.

Excellent site

Probably the best site we have visited. Great facilities and spotlessly clean.

Roy, Debbie and Angus the dogs 2024 Scottish holiday

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.

Excellent

Excellent location and the facilities were absolutely fantastic.

Wonderful stay

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.

Great site

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.

Fab site

I could not recommend this highly enough, it was spotless and staff very friendly. The standard of cleanliness was first class - I highly recommend this.

An enjoyable stay

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.

Our Stay at Linwater Caravan Park - August 2024

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.

Lovely stay

Lovely campsite! Fantastic facilities, exceeded our expectations. Very clean and modern shower and toilet block. Friendly staff and fair rules. Would definitely recommend to anyone. 3 girls and a little westie dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Camping

It was all very clean and the reception was very welcoming. Highly recommended.

5 night visit

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.

Great stay

First time visit for the family and we all really enjoyed it. Facilities were fantastic, will be back.

Excellent facilities, welcoming staff

Great site close to Edinburgh. Showers and toilets are the best I have experienced while touring. Staff super helpful and great location, close to park and tram ride into centre of Edinburgh.

The toilets and site were very clean and cozy

The toilets and site were very clean and cozy. The elderly lady who received us upon arrival however, felt very unfriendly.

Sadly had only one night here, a gem of a site

Beautiful location, outstanding facilities, only downside was we only had one night here. we didn't get chance to do the walks so hope to go back. Perfect location to visit Edinburgh, the park and ride is only 5 mins away and The Kelpies a must see. We stayed as a last night before heading home after a tour of Mull. Wish we had longer, it is so well maintained. We will be back.

Clean site with good facilities

Excellent location for stopping before returning the van we had hired nearby. We loved the walk along the canal feeder to the pub in East Calder. Some noise from aeroplanes from Edinburgh Airport.
