Mortonhall Caravan and Camping Park

Mortonhall Caravan and Camping Park is Edinburgh's closest campsite to the city centre, set within the mature, landscaped grounds of the historic Mortonhall estate just four miles from the heart of the Scottish capital.

Despite its urban proximity, the park feels distinctly rural, with views toward Arthur's Seat, the Pentland Hills, and the sea. It is open all year round and accommodates up to 250 units.

Pitches include hardstanding and grass options, with over 180 electrical hook-ups available, some with water and drainage. Tent camping is also well catered for, and accommodation alternatives include bungalows and wooden sleeping pods.

On-site facilities include a bar and restaurant, laundry, and a designated BBQ area. A garden centre, café, and farm shop are also found on the estate.

Frequent public bus services depart from the park entrance every ten minutes, making it a practical base for the Edinburgh Festival and other city events, as well as for exploring the Lothians and Pentland Hills.
