Visitors like to take advantage of the mesmerising landscapes and beautiful walks and trails within the Park and around Beecraigs loch. However, if you are looking for a day off site, this park is midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow, making two of Scotland’s incredible cities easily accessible.

This family cares a lot about the environment and as a result the campsite is the proud receiver of the ‘David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award’, and recycling is available on site. There is also a herb garden located within the site where visitors are encouraged to gather herbs to enhance their cooking during their stay!
A small but welcoming campsite, on open farmland, catering for touring caravans, motor homes and tents. Located just outside Linlithgow, this park has many attractions within a close proximity.
