Linwater Caravan park is a beautiful family run park located to the West of Edinburgh that provides top quality self catering and camping accommodation all year round.

Its location means you can enjoy central Scotland from one base reaching places like the world famous Kelpies, Linlithgow Palace, Forth Bridges and iconic Edinburgh Castle within an hour.

The site is located 4 miles from Ingliston Park and Ride for regular trams to Edinburgh; 2 miles from Kirknewton train station for direct trains to Glasgow and three miles from the major M8/M9 interchange for road access to the North and West of Scotland.

There are 60 large touring pitches with 16 Amp Electric hookups and taps; self catering luxury lodges with bright open plan living space and budget friendly modern static caravans, all less than three years old. For the campers you will find an immaculately presented amenity block with electric showers, toilets, privacy wash cubicles and a small launderette. There is a heated indoor campers kitchen with pot wash area, cookers, microwave and TV as well as takeaway menus for on site delivery and a book/game/DVD library.

When you arrive you will be welcomed by our friendly team in the reception where you will find lots of tourist information and a small grocery store, perfect for those little essentials.

Centrally located on the park is the children's play area which has plenty of space for the kids to wind off steam. There is also a dog walk which provides access to the many walking and cycle routes surrounding the local Almondell Country Park and Union Canal.

Excellent site. Good disabled facilities but that could benefit from a larger basin to make it perfect. Lovely staff and shop for this forgotten items or light travellers on bike. Earplugs are helpful because of airport noise.

We had a great 11 night stay with our touring caravan. Had no problems at all and Katie and her team did everything they could to deal with information and requests with a very positive approach to everything we asked. Pitch and support facilities were great and the room for campers to cook and eat and clean up was excellent. That's also where wi-fi was available. The small on-site shop had a selection of the basic things to keep you going till the next shopping trip. Livingston (within 15 minutes drive) has all the supermarkets and a massive shopping centre complex. It's very rural so nearest public transport is within about a 1 mile walk. Some country walks can be accessed directly from the site.The only downside (and not within the owners control) was the badly pot-holed narrow public approach roads. Awareness and slow passage are essential to avoid damage as you arrive. After that you'll know where the worst is and how to navigate it. Excellent experience overall.

Lovely last night of our holiday in Scotland

Sandford, Linda - 22/05/2023

We had a lovely visit to this campsite. We had hired a Motorhome from a company near Edinburgh airport, and as I needed to return it by 10am the next morning I looked for a nearby campsite. Linwood fitted the bill and I wasn’t disappointed. The site is clean, well laid out, the staff are all friendly and helpful. Good showers, toilets and washing up facilities. Thank you for a great stay.

Response from the owner

23 May 2023

Hello RobertThank you for your feebdack. We are greatful for it and glad to see that overall you ave provided us with 4 stars and have szaid you would reccomend us and return to site. We are aware that some elements of our toilet block are in need of minor repairs and, a;beit clean and functional, it is also getting a bid dated. We work hard to keep the main parts in use in a state of good repair, however the floor is needing replaced and has some cracking as it comes up the side of the walls in the block. We have made the decision not to replace this year as we are installing a completely new toilet block in November.I hope you will return and see it for yourself and look foward to welcoming you when we do.YoursKatie
