A great value way to see the festival. Pricey for a campsite but I guess this is the Edinburgh festival. We've stayed here in our camper the past couple of years. It does the job.
There is an official fringe venue / bar on the campsite but you'll probably spend most of your time in Edinburgh.
Toilet facilities are good but more showers would be an improvement.
Good / cheap bus links to the city.
Excellent way to visit the festival. It was a bit pricey, but what isn't in Edinburgh during the fringe? For two of us, however, it was not much more than many other camp sites. The facilities were good - nice showers and on site coffee and breakfast facilities. The washing up facilities left a little bit to be desired - the water wasn't hot enough and probably not enough sinks. However, a nice site, good ground, plenty of space and easy to get to and from the fringe - the buses run into the small hours. I expect to use it again next year.
Great relaxed site with good amenities. Tipi to hang out in and get food and drink good additions too. I'd have liked to know in advance it had planes taking off right beside it from 6am to midnight..and a lot of road noise. Ear plugs essential. Not enough showers...5 for whole site.
Very far from the city centre with a longer walk than advertised from the tram and night bus stops (around half an hour).
The campsite itself isn't very flat, but nice enough and you can find side for your tent easily (camping spaces are not allocated). The showers do not have a private changing area, just a shared bench and coat hooks outside the wet individual shower cubicles. The showers did have soap in them which could be handy if you are caught short though.
It is close to the airport and so can be very noisy in the day.
Staff were friendly and gave us free beer on arrival, and if you are traveling into town to often find other campers headed in with you.
Great campsite with good facilities - clean toilets and hot showers!
Breakfast options are basic but very reasonable and there is also the chance to charge your phone in the cafe tent.
It's very close to Edinburgh airport which might disturb some people up but we slept right through planes taking off!
It's about a 10 minute walk to the nearest bus stop and maybe 20 minutes walk to a tram stop so the transport links aren't too bad.
Would stay here again.
There are 2 taps and 4 sinks for the whole campsite! = queues. There is 1 tap to fill water containers. This tap is above the toilet waste dump and shared by campers washing out their cassette toilets. Yuk.
Friendly, helpful staff. Pretty and well kept site with great atmosphere. Plus you get to watch the airliners take off from the adjacent airport. Only a 20 min brisk walk to the superb tram into Edinburgh. 25 min tram ride to Princes Street.
A bit of a hassle getting the bus to/from Edinburgh, but definately the beat value accomodation during the festival. Friendly staff, and nice tent pitches. Clean facilities and good hot showers. Basic camp kitchen set up and some breakfast available to buy on site.
Great for the Edinburgh festival. Relaxed atmosphere. Public transport is about half a mile away. A little pricey for small tents. Glamping available. Nice breakfast Bacon Roll
We stayed at Edinburgh Festival Camping for four nights and it was great; ample toilet facilities, clean (and hot!) showers, cooking areas and free charging points. It's also well located for the city centre via public transport, or if you have a car a short drive will take you to some beautiful countryside. Also, as some Fringe and Festival performers sometimes stay here, you maybe lucky and get an evening performance in the bar! But the real success is the professional yet friendly manner in which Geoff, Rhian and the rest of their Camping Ninja team manage the site; in an age when you so often pay so much and get so little, Camping Ninja provide the opposite experience - a breath of fresh air.
Although a bit pricey (£15 per person) it offers great value. Showers aren't outdated and are kept clean, there is a charging point where you can leave your device overnight with no worries, there is free access kitchen tent with pans and stoves and they offer breakfast for as low as £3.50. It takes about an hour to get to the city centre though
