Linwater Caravan Park is a peaceful, family run Park for touring caravans, motorhomes and tents, situated on open farmland just west of Edinburgh. You can enjoy all the delights of Scotland's capital city and then head west to the peace and quiet of the countryside.

The 4-star park was opened in 1998, with 60 spacious level grass pitches, most with 16 amp electric hook-ups.

We now have some hard-standings available and a separate sheltered tenting area with designated pitches where cars can be parked alongside your tent. This is also where our new Timbertents are situated, and therefore at busy times, we have additional tent pitches further down the Park, where cars can again be parked alongside your tent.

Our Scandinavian style amenity building offers excellent facilities including free showers and privacy cubicles. These are kept clean to the highest of standards by ourselves and our visitors and we look after them as best we can. There is also a small laundry, separate disabled shower-room and dish washing area.

Our small reception has plenty of tourist information to help you plan your stay - whether it is to venture into Edinburgh or to tour the area - or to travel further afield. As there are many shops and supermarkets in the area, we only have a few sweets etc. for sale, but milk, newspapers and rolls can be ordered daily. Bacon from Alastair's saddleback pigs and eggs from his hens, can usually be bought in Reception, subject to availability.

Well behaved dogs - and children - are most welcome, and for the children we have a large sandpit with plenty toys to help you dig and build.

Dogs should be kept on leads around the Park, although ours sometimes set a bad example by coming across just to check out the visitors.

We are also very proud, that for the last few years, we have been awarded the David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award, and we try to look after the environment as best we can.

TIMBER TENTS
A warm and dry alternative to camping - you still need all your camping equipment, but you no longer have to put up and take down your tent in the wind/rain/dark. It is ideal, if you are maybe heading north or south, and want a stopover without erecting a tent, or stay a few days in more comfort, and visit Edinburgh and the surrounding area.

We now have 4 timbertents, 3 of which have a double mattress and 2 singles on raised beds, comfortably sleeping 4, whilst the original one, has 3 singles on raised beds. They are fully insulated and are also ideal for early and late in the season. There is a kettle, a heater and a small fridge and outside is a picnic table for your sole use. We therefore ask that all cooking is done outside, as the cabins are made totally of wood.

We are ideally situated for visiting Edinburgh, the Royal Highland Showground, home of the famous Royal Highland Show in June and many other shows and exhibitions, the Falkirk Wheel, and the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena is just 1 mile away with the "only indoor covered climbs on natural rock in the world."
