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 service

Staff were brilliant and polite. Very quickly reacted to a problem with the dishwasher, ( which I had one of my own I probably wouldn't have had to call them about). Caravan was very clean throughout and very roomy. Would definitely recommend staying there.

Great caravan park

Graham, Henry - 06/04/2024

5

Pitch was excellent..loved having the shed next to pitch....well kept park ...the mobile food vans which visit every night were brilliant...Only thing for us that we were pitch 50 and the park and football pitch was far away, a pathway through the caravans would have been better for us but overall I'd definitely go back

It was very black dark in the evening, you could not see safely to walk to the toilet block, could more lights be put around the touring area.

Response from the owner

17 April 2024

Thank you for taking the time to review our park and for saying that you would definitely come back. With regards to your comments about the lighting, I would advise that this is laid out according to the planning permission given, with light pollution borne in mind. However, you may have noted that the newer style electric boxes we are putting in have subdued lights on them and hopefully that will help once this is completed.We did have 2 ornamental 'street' lights in touring, like others dotted around the park. However, the ones in touring suffered regular damage throughout each season and had to be removed. Whether it was malicious or down to ball games we can't say unfortunately.

Great location

Cook, Gordon - 05/04/2024

5

Lovely quiet site with clean and comfortable facilities, close to local services and amenities. A 45 minute walk into St Andrews meant we didn’t need to use the car for the whole weekend. The take away food available on site in the evenings was a nice and welcome touch. The only down side is the strict 11:00 check out time which is unreasonably early, this should be reviewed.
