Cairnsmill Caravan Park

St Andrews KY16 8NN, UK

Family park on Largo Road, a mile from the centre of St Andrews

About Cairnsmill Caravan Park

Cairnsmill sits on Largo Road just south of St Andrews, making it the closest sizeable park to the town—Market Street is a twenty-five-minute walk, or there's a bus from the gate. The setting is level and grassy rather than scenic, which is the trade-off for being able to park up and explore the Old Course, cathedral and beaches without moving the car all weekend. Touring pitches run around thirty to thirty-two pounds a night for car, two adults and under-fives, and there are also pods, a bunkhouse and static caravans for mixed groups.

What sets Cairnsmill apart is the indoor offer: heated pool, gym, games room, soft play and a bar, plus a small trout fishery for anyone fancying an hour with a rod. That combination makes it a reliable choice when east-coast weather turns, so a wet afternoon doesn't mean huddling in the awning. It's a working family park rather than a boutique site—expect it to be busy in July and August—but for a base within walking distance of St Andrews' main sights, it's hard to better on price. Book well ahead for school holidays and the autumn golf weeks, when demand across town spikes.

What visitors say

Just back from another wonderful 2 week trip to Cairnsmill Caravan Park. This is a very well run family park and the touring facilities are excellent with super pitches as standard. Our grandkids enjoyed the football pitch. 3 playgrounds, soft play and large swimming pool. The weekend entertainment is top notch as are the food vendors providing fish and chips and pizzas. Looking forward to our next visit.

It was a well maintained site with the access to a small swimming pool and a sauna steam room. The bar was a nice experience. The dog walk area a hidden gem. We had a lovely 3 nights there. Thank you
