stayed here for two nights beautiful clean quiet site. The public toilets are spotless clean as with the showers It was lovely seeing the planes fly overhead as near the airport. parks were well maintained for children and the site was also dog friendly the only thing I would suggest is a place to sit and have a meal especially when you arrive on site rather than a takeaway as when you arrive you don't want to cook. It was also good that you could hire a bbq although we didn't. Also there was designated area for doing dishes if needed and a laundry.Definatly stay again and recommend.

Things to do on site and in the Edinburgh area
The peaceful location is perfect for those looking to stay on site, with river fishing available just a few hundred metres away (permits available at reception). The play park has plenty of space for the kids to run around, but you can also cycle off on an adventure with a hired bike or take Fido for a lovely stroll.
There is a bus stop just over a mile away that you can use to get to Livingston or Edinburgh and the site can provide you with a timetable if you need one. Alternatively the park and ride is 4 miles away, with free parking for all vehicles (including motorhomes) and a regular tram service to the city.
There's also a railway station at Kirkliston a mile from the site which has a direct line to Glasgow Central in under an hour and a bus stop just over a mile away that you can walk to for buses to Livingston or Edinburgh.
Top attractions nearby include:
- Jupiter Artland (walking distance)
- Edinburgh City
- Linlithgow Palace
- Blackness Castle
- Livingston Designer Outlet
You can be at the Kelpies, Glasgow or the Falkirk Wheel within a 40 minute drive, while other attractions include the Pentland Hills Regional Park and Beecraigs Country Park.
