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.

🇮🇹 Italiano: La struttura è bella e ben curata, con bagni adeguati e ottimi servizi per il campeggio. Sicuramente tornerei e la consiglierei.🇬🇧 English (concise): Well-kept campsite with good facilities. I’d definitely return and recommend it.
Would have given 5star if we could have checked in earlier. After 8 hours on motorway all you need is you can’t check in till 4.00 and this was 3.30.
This will be our 5th year returning to Craigtoun Meadows. The situation is perfect, outside of St Andrews where it is quiet and peaceful. The site is kept immaculately and the shower/toilet block is cleaned twice a day and is so beautifully clean you could eat off the floor. The staff are friendly and very flexible- we added an extra day at the last minute to arrive early and there was no problem at all they moved things about to accommodate us. We will be returning again next year.
I really enjoy my six nights at craigtoun it’s a well laid out park toilets are spotless , easy access to St Andrews town with the bus just outside the park 👍
Excellent location for local attractions. Lovely park for the kids. Crazy golf needs some attention as we lost all our balls in blocked tunnels. Range of Supermarkets nearby. Did not visit local restaurants so cannot comment. Plenty of places to take the kids on day trips. Staff friendly, overall the caravan park was very clean and tidy.
Visited Craigton Meadows for Four days with Grand Children last week endGood Points Lovely site lots of space if you are in a MOTORHOME Toilets Clean , Shower great with lots of hot water the site even has two baths which is unusual Small play park beside MOTORHOME and caravans Large play park on the periphery of the site Amazingly good With lots to do You can also borrow books and Cd from the reception area .there is a bus that stops outside Craigton and will take you to St Andrews .Lovely town with lots to do and see Beautiful Beach Lots of lovely Restaurants Pizza van on site one evening Hot Street food on another evening Negative points No car allowed beside your MOTORHOME This is due to a safety rule caravan cars can stay Not seen this before Access to large park not good as children have to nearly go out the park then up a lane open to public Would be safer to allow access past mobile Overall peaceful site we would definitely return S
We had a lovely relaxing stay in our tourer our 1st trip in it, the facilities were great and very clean, staff where friendly and our son loved the play park. Easy access to both St Andrews and a trip to Anstruther for fish and chips
A very nice well maintained site. Very clean toilet block with all the facilities you need. Ample space between pitches. Friendly helpful staff. The ‘Hub’ was a great place for the kids. All the facilities other than reception were wheelchair friendly
