Situated in the Linlithgow/Lothian area of Scotland, the site is actually run by West Lothian Council and offers good facilities at very competitive prices.

For tourers the car and caravan charge is just £16.80 per night in high season dropping to £14.70 in low season. Trailer tent guests are charged between £12.70 and £14.50 depending on the time of year. The site is well used by local caravanners and holiday makers from further afield with many Scandinavian visitors making use of its facilities.

With hard standing pitches for all caravans and motor homes this makes life a lot simpler with the caravan, although if you are planning on putting up an awning  invest in some rock pegs as the ground is very hard, numerous bent and broken pegs can litter the area for the uninitiated along with very short tempers. The sites are in circles which have room for six units; each little “hand” has its own chemical waste disposal point and refuse area for the 6 units.

The camping part of the site is set apart from the caravan area, and is a slightly sloping grass plot. There are barbecue facilities next to the camping area which are ideal if the Scottish elements are gracious enough to grant a barbecue day.

The shower and toilet blocks are very impressive. They are clean and have family rooms which consist of a single shower cubicle and toilet in a separate room, this is very handy and gives you space to get showered, dried and dressed without worrying about your clothes getting wet as can happen in other camp site showers. Shaving points and hair dryers were also available in these family rooms.

The site is situated next to a deer farm, there are lovely walks and the view is beautiful. Walkers will appreciate hiking round the deer area and around the loch which is a great venue for many water sports and is a favourite with fishermen.

For visitors wanting to go a little further afield Linlithgow is approximately a two minute drive away. Weather permitting visitors can spend an enjoyable day out, there is a small boat which takes you down the canal and back and also the magnificent ruins of Linlithgow Palace which can be visited, the charges are £5.20 for adults and £3.10 for children, and concessions are £4.10.

Close by the entrance to the site is Beecraigs Restaurant, the restaurant provides a good, varied menu and although pricey for this part of Scotland the food is good and well worth sampling.

Remember if you are planning on taking a road trip and camping at this wonderful site, you will need to make sure you have sufficient caravan insurance.
