Opened in April 1972, Craigtoun Meadows Holiday Park is set in a beautiful rural, woodland location, just 1.5 miles from the centre of St Andrews. The park has been regularly recognised as one of the country's best, and has been awarded the prestigious AA Campsite of the Year for Scotland in 1984, 1991, 2002 and 2016.
Currently rated 5 Star by VisitScotland, Craigtoun Meadows Holiday Park offers guests the choice of luxury lodges, static holiday homes, little glamping lodges, hardstanding pitches for motorhomes and touring caravans and grass pitches for tents.
While the hired caravans and the holiday lodges are equipped with modern conveniences and appliances, there is a range of facilities offered for touring guests to ensure they enjoy the highest possible level of comfort during their stay, too.
The amenities block at Craigtoun Meadows Holiday Park includes toilets, baths, showers, and a washing up area.
Around the park there is plenty for guests to do. A large children’s play area is complemented by a multi-sports court that sees plenty of fun as well as competition throughout the year.
There are two games rooms at the park, between them boasting video games, an air hockey table, table football, and two pool tables. A friendly coffee shop and restaurant is also found at the park, and is open for breakfast and dinner. Takeaway options are also provided in the early evening for guests looking to eat in their caravan, tent, or lodge.
A short drive or a nice walk takes guests into the centre of St Andrews, where they will find everything from quirky shops, tea rooms, and restaurants to museums and other cultural attractions. The town is perhaps most famous for its world class golf course, which can be seen from the roadside and even be played by golfing guests staying at the park.
Outside of the town there are miles of coastal walks and countryside trails to explore, while a number of clean and safe beaches are also worth exploring.
A scenic drive to the north takes guests across the River Tay and into the popular city of Dundee. Dundee offers a taste of modern life in Scotland for guests preferring this to the traditional style of St. Andrews and the surrounding villages. Tourists have the option of leaving the car behind and taking public transport into Dundee. The trip from St Andrews takes under an hour.
We have an awesome 18 hole crazy golf course - putters and balls can be hired from reception. In 2022 we added 3 electric vehicle charging points - you must register your vehicle in the office in order to be able to use these.

Excellent pitch. Toilet facilities very clean but water pressure in toilets not great.Site also had signs for accepting ACSI card yet when i asked for future bookings was told ...yes we are members but for advertising the site..not for offering ACSI rates. We found this confusing ...do you or do you not accept this discount card ?In surrounding area found the bus shelter outside site very dirty in poor condition...local council should take greater pride in street scope.Will return
We like high standards of cleanliness and everything on this park is spotless and well maintained. We have stayed in a hired ‘van on a few occasions as a couple and with family. We will definitely return. Note: We were there at the height of the recent severe storm and as far as we could see, everything stood firm including all the ‘vans.
We had a great experience using one of the wheelchair accessible caravans.Staff were very helpful in meeting our needs for portable liquid oxygen.The accomodation was missing a couple of items that staff were happy to provide.Very clean and spacious.
Absolutely no site facilities ! Ok if you want to go out and about in area and sit in caravan or go into St Andrews for the evening provided you don’t want a drink with your meal !! Very disappointed wouldn’t go back .
Toilet and shower facilities are first class. Touring area has good separation from rest of holiday park. Very close to St Andrews and all its amenities.
This is a beautiful site on the outskirts of St. Andrews. It is immaculately kept and has a mix of touring, statics & lodges. Shower & toilet facilities are clean & tidy. The Friday night pizza truck on site is a great little addition.
Yet another lovely stay on this site. We’ve been going there for years & will certainly continue to do so! There’s absolutely nothing not to like. Friendly efficient staff. Lovely toilet blocks with the best showers. Nice flat well maintained & laid out pitches. Great on-site facilities- restaurant, table tennis, leisure room with machines for children to play on. We love the location as it’s a pleasant walk into St Andrews or there’s a bus stop right at the entrance. Lots to do in St Andrews- such a good vibe about the place. Great choice of small independent shops, places to eat & of course golf! Recommend playing on the Himalayas for a bit of fun! Great transport links to Dundee. Lovely beach. Perfect. Would highly recommend.
Staff helpful,polite and friendly. Playground excellent for granddaughter, she totally loved it.Beaches, the Aquarium,Picture House, and also Craigtoun Park excellent for family entertainments.Only downside was lack of restaurant and shop.
Definitely recommend - c.10 minutes by car to centre of St Andrews. Easy access to Kings Barns / Carnoustie golf courses
Excellent facilities highly recommend this campsite
