Linwater Caravan Park | West Lothian | Southern Scotland

-

Linwater Touring siteLinwater Cravan Park is a peaceful, family run Touring Park and campsite in West Lothian southern scotland. A site acdcepting touring caravans, motorhomes and tents and situated on open farmland just west of Edinburgh.
 
You can enjoy all the delights of Scotland's capital city and then head west to the peace and quiet of the countryside. This is even easier now, with two new Park and Rides open nearby. One at Hermiston on the A71, and the quickest and most direct, at Ingliston, beside Edinburgh Airport on the A8. Parking is both safe and free, and a daily ticket can be bought, enabling you to travel in and out, as well as full use of the "Lothian" buses around Edinburgh all day. 

Linwater is ideally situated for visiting Edinburgh, the Royal Highland Showground, home of the famous Royal Highland Show in June and many other shows and exhibitions, Linwater Receptionthe Falkirk Wheel, and the new Edinburgh International Climbing Arena is just 1 mile away with the "only indoor covered climbs on natural rock in the world."

Linwater welcome visitors from all over the world, including many from Holland. Mr Diemann from Hilversum is a regular, as he has family in the area.

There is easy access from the Park to the M9 - Falkirk/Stirling; the M90 Forth Road Bridge to Perth and beyond; the M8 to Glasgow and to the A720 City Bypass which leads to all roads south - A1,A68,A7,A702.
 
The site opened the 4 star Park in 1998, with 60 spacious level grass pitches, most with 16 amp electric hook-ups. We now have some hard-standings available and a separate sheltered tenting area with designated pitches where cars can be parked alongside your tent. This is also where our new Timbertents are situated, and therefore at busy times, we have additional tent pitches further down the Park, where cars can again be parked alongside your tent.
 
LinwaterLinwater's Scandinavian style amenity building offers excellent facilities including free showers and privacy cubicles. These are kept clean to the highest of standards by ourselves and our visitors and we look after them as best we can. There is also a small laundry, separate disabled shower-room and dish washing area.

The site's small reception has plenty of tourist information to help you plan your stay - whether it is to venture into Edinburgh or to tour the area - or to travel further afield. As there are many shops and supermarkets in the area, we only have a few sweets etc. for sale, but milk, newspapers and rolls can be ordered daily.
 
Well behaved dogs - and children - are most welcome at Linwater Caravan Park, and for the children we have a large sandpit with plenty toys to help you dig and build. Dogs should be kept on leads around the Park, although ours sometimes set a bad example by coming across just to check out the visitors. We have a lovely dog walk off the Park which leads to a path which goes to the Union Canal and to Almondell Country Park. This path can sometimes be muddy so do come prepared. A sheet of walks is available in Reception to help you explore around us. 

Linwater are also very proud, that for the last few years, we have been awarded the David Bellamy Gold ConservationLinwater Clean Toilet Facilities Award, and we try to look after the environment as best we can. To this end, we now offer recycling of paper, glass, plastic, cardboard and cans and your help in separating these out is much appreciated. The recylcing is situated beside our Herb Garden, where visitors are welcome to help themselves to herbs to enhance their cooking during their stay.
 
Television reception in the Park is very good and if your TV is tuned in, Channel 5 is received too. For visitors wanting to access Broadband, the local Library in East Calder has access and our nearest wi-fi hotspot is at McDonald's, at junction1 of M9 at Newbridge.
