Old Sanitary Facilities

Monni
The reception was okay, but also quite impersonal. The sanitary facilities are aged and give a not particularly clean impression. In one of the two sanitary blocks, there are sinks in the women's showers, so you could talk about washrooms. Such cabins do not exist for men. The entrances to the facilities are dirty! In the shop belonging to the site, there are some groceries available for purchase, but the announced fresh bread or even rolls are not available. (The 'fresh bread' being sold is the usual packaged white bread!). The connection to Edinburgh is good. Tickets for the bus can now be obtained at the reception. The restaurant associated with the site is fine.

Easy to reach, close to the city, yet still in nature. Sanitary facilities are well maintained, places are easily accessible, and the size is completely sufficient. The associated pub is definitely worth a visit. Minor downside - the place is quite expensive.

Frequently asked questions about the campsite Camping Mortonhall
What is the terrain like at Camping Mortonhall and what pitches are available?
You can expect a well-kept, park-like campsite in a green setting right next to a historic manor house. The terrain is partly flat and partly gently sloping. We have gravel pitches for caravans and motorhomes, while tent campers stand on the beautiful grassy areas. The pitches are pleasantly spacious, ranging from 80 to 100 m².
What is the best way to get to Edinburgh from the campsite?
It is super easy! The number 11 bus stops just about 500 metres from the site. This takes you directly to the beautiful old town of Edinburgh in around 20 minutes. The bus runs every 10 minutes during the day and every 15 minutes in the evening. Practical tip: You can buy day tickets directly at reception.
Is there a restaurant or shopping facilities on site?
Yes, absolutely! Right next to the site is a cosy, typical Scottish pub that is very popular with campers and offers delicious food. For your daily needs, we have a grocery store directly on the grounds. If you are planning a larger shop, you will find a supermarket just 2 kilometres away.
