Great spot, only three overnight camping spaces, but other vehicles were parked overnight outside these spaces. Noisy young drivers until around 2 a.m. Beautiful sunset views.Translating
I didn't stay the night here but enjoyed my visit. I arrived early plenty of spaces available but I went for a drive, came back later and all the MH spaces were taken. theres plenty of parking along the road just before the carpark for a day visit. Translating
This was our last night of 5 across the highlands and Perthshire. It was such a great spot, friendly locals at the pub who were pleased to share some of the town’s history (there’s a movie about the Outlaw King from Limekilns and surrounds - which was also filmed here). One of our favourite spots to stay in our van across Scotland. Would recommend. Translating
Sadly our stay was spoiled by an entitled motorhome owner who decided to pitch up even although the 3 pitches were taken. Fife council have made these great area's available but some people just can't abide by the rules. Not only did he park in-between the 2 pitches at the far end because his motorhome was so long I would be blocked in if a car parked in the adjacent space. Translating
Great, near Edinburgh and facing the sea!Translating
Fantastic overnight spot in a beautiful location for only £5. What a bargain! Thank you to the community for enabling this. Great beach walks, two pubs & a cafe. Lots of bins/recycling. Translating
Fabulous stop over,very quiet night. The Ship Inn is currently closed but The Bruce Arms is very warm and welcoming. 2 drinks were less than £10. We walked up the hill to the Sutlery (Charlestown village shop) and had the most delicious filled rolls. Limekilns is a beautiful village with friendly people - £5 for 24 hours parking is a very generous offer so make sure you pay in the honesty box :) Translating
Agree with all the positive comments. The pubs are both first class. Thank you to the residents for allowing Mh to park. Translating
Nice stop, couple of pubs and a great view. Road is noisy though from 6am and car park gets lots of loud dog walkers around the same time. Fair play to the village providing the space designated for campers and good value for £5 in the honesty box. I imagine it's quieter at a weekend. Translating
I can fully agree with Java310's statement. Great motorhome site, well worth the £5. Rubbish bins are available, including recycling bins. The Bruce Arms pub is just a few steps away.Translating
Super beautiful motorhome site for a £5 donation, which you are happy to give! Great inns very close by—perfect!Translating
Nice overnight spot for £5.00. There are three spaces for campers.Translating
Ideal spot, with great cafés and pubs a two-minute walk away, right on the beach. But please remember to pay! It is only £5 in the honesty box. I know there are two other vehicles here tonight that have not paid, and three last night that did not pay. This will only lead to proper parking meters and wardens being introduced.Translating
We were lucky to get one of the three motorhome spaces on a beautiful Saturday. Unfortunately, cars are also allowed to park there. Otherwise, beautiful views and a charming little village. Because of the lovely weather, there were many beach visitors and an ice-cream van in the car park, making maneuvering somewhat difficult. But it worked, and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you to the community. We were happy to give the £5 donation.Translating
Great little car park with three dedicated campervan spaces. £5 for 24 hours in the honesty box. Two pubs and two cafés very close by. The only rubbish bin is in the car park; otherwise it would have been five stars! Great views of the bridges and the Forth. Quiet night. One other van.Translating
Great park up but gets busy and is a bit tight for larger units (over 7m), we managed to fit in bay 1 in our 7.3m motorhome, but would have struggled in bays 2 or 3. Lovely little town with 2 great pubs, the Ship and the Bruce. Particularly recommended the Coorie by the Coast cafe, just over the road from the parking, they do excellent coffee & excellent breakfasts.Translating
3 posts available for overnight parking, 5£ honesty box, amazing view and great access to the beach, very quiteTranslating
Great spot.. some road noise nothing major. 3 spaces reserved for campers. Is a bit tight in places but we did manage in the motor home. Had 4G signal and lovely walk and lots of little cafes/coffee places close by Translating
Lovely spot, as said 3 spots reserved for camper vans - £5 in honesty box. Felt safe. Local pub on front street and toilets short walk in Charlestown (clean). Translating
Quiet, clean car park at the old pier. Three marked motorhome spaces. Three restaurants within walking distance. Booking a table is recommended, otherwise they fill up quickly.Translating
Three well-reserved spaces for motorhomes, but some cars park there.Translating
