Ease of arrival/welcome

Very poor indeed

22 Damhead
Our experience - on arrival a friend of the owner took the payment - and in the front window of the property was a large board with everyone's full name written on it next to a pitch number for all to see (a data protection issue her I think!) The site is very small indeed and very tight for maneuverability. The pitch was very uneven, mostly grass with some remnants of hard standing. It was basically the owners back yard. The road next to the property could be mistaken for something that resembles Brands Hatch crossed with the M25 - it was very bust and fast throughout the day, evening, night and early hours. When the time cam to leave we struggled to get out of the grounds as the owners friend had parked their car almost in the middle of a narrow driveway. Struggled to get MH out - got a huge scratch on the ns window whilst undertaking a number of moves to get by the car - all of this whilst the car owner was standing at the window watching and not have the decency to move the vehicle. Took photos - to consider next steps. Will most definitely not be staying again. No owners sighted at all -

Very handy for your visit to Edinburgh

22 Damhead
This gently sloping, small site is very well placed for visiting Edinburgh. The park and ride is just 2 minutes away and the fare to the city centre was just £1.80 when we visited in August 2021. The adjacent road is quite busy during the day with heavy traffic passing from about 6 in the morning, but it was quieter at night. there is a selection of eateries close by as well as a number of shops and supermarkets. Mr Ferguson has a wonderful sense of humour and made us welcome. We would recommend the site if you are going to be out and about doing the tourist thing all day and just using it as a base.

We stopped overnight here on way home from England. Very handy from city bypass. Sloping site . Lovely restaurant five minutes away called The Steading . Will use again.

6 vans?

22 Damhead
I have to write the site down as it has 6 vans and cars crammed in. There is no excuse these days for this sort of situation being allowed to happen. Speaking to someone on the site who has been there for a couple of weeks they told me that it happened a few times whilst they were there.

Great for visiting Edinburgh

22 Damhead
Excellent value at £10 per night, as previous reviewers say only 15 minutes walk to buses (maybe shorter walk if you go north instead of south, and all paved both ways). Busy road but quiet at night and well screened by trees anyway, so you don't hear a lot. Pubs with food, and supermarkets also only 15 minutes walk. If you like walking then city centre is only 5.5 miles and took me 90 minutes to walk it, but buses are cheap if not.
