About Silverburn Park Campsite

Owned and run by the Fife Employment Access Trust, a local charity supporting people with mental health problems at work. The site is situated just east of Leven, enjoying very easy access to its beach and town centre. Soak up spectacular views from the campsite, across the Firth of Forth to East Lothian in the distance. Pitches are set on the grounds of the 27 acre park, with the surrounding area offering a range of woodland and coastal walks. There are eight grass pitches without electric and four with 16 amp electric. Each of these measure 6m x 6m and allow up to eight guests. There are four gravel campervan and motorhome pitches, including a 16 amp electric hook up and a grass surrounding for awnings. Each of these pitches allows units up to 4.8 in length, with up to four guests. You'll also find three glamping pods providing an idyllic shelter if you're leaving the tent at home. All pods are fully heated and come equipped with a double bed and sofa bed, fridge, kettle and microwave - plus easy access to the site facilities. Additional fire pits and logs can be purchased from the site, and bedding and cutlery are not included. This is a dog friendly site. Please note that only one eco-pod allows dogs. Please note, the site has now begun a redevelopment of the historic flax mill so there ongoing construction project on site and there may be some noise during weekdays 9.30am to 3.30pm.

The site is open from 2nd February to 20th December. Eco pods and tent pitches will open on Saturday February 3rd. Whilst every effort will be made to keep disturbance to a minimum, there may be some unavoidable noise during weekdays between 9am and 4pm as the work progresses. Campervans pitches will only be open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (when contractors are off-site) for the duration of February. Please be aware conditions around the park are likely to be muddy so bringing some wellies!

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!
