Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The cafe was great, we had a rare hot day at the start of September and being 8months pregnant I was delighted to find they sold slush puppies! I chose a cherry slush and my friend had a scone and juice we took these away and enjoyed our walk. They also had toilets and the visitors centre in the same area as the cafe.
The visitors centre also sold ice lollies etc.
We enjoyed the grounds and will certainly return.
We saw deer,stag,sheep,swans,ducks,birds and squirrels.
We came whilst the kids were at school but were certainly bring them back one day for the play park.
It was around 30 mins or so drive from my side of edinburgh.
Parking was free

We were trying to plan a trip to the highlands by bus and were very disappointed with the options so we decided to come here. We were thoroughly impressed with the park. There’s a small sit down cafe, bathrooms, and cows, sheep, and so many more animals!!! Would totally recommend for anyone wanting to see some cute animals and spend time in nature.

Open All year. We even enjoyed it in the snow, hail and storms. Very welcoming and friendly staff especially in the on-site cafe. Huge hard standing bays for motorhomes or caravans. Superb toilet/shower/laundry/dish washing facilities. There's even a washing line for hanging up your wet stuff.
Great dog walks all around. Linlithgow town is NOT withing walking distance but a walk round Linlithgow loch right at the base of the castle is worth the 5min drive.

I recently visited Beecraigs Country Park and found it to be quite different from what I expected. The atmosphere felt more restrictive than I anticipated, somewhat reminiscent of a highly regulated area. The café, while offering a variety of options, seemed to be priced higher than what I would consider reasonable for a park setting.
The reservoir, which I was looking forward to seeing, unfortunately did not meet my expectations. Instead of the clear, inviting body of water I had envisioned, it appeared more akin to a murky swamp.
Overall, my experience at Beecraigs Country Park was not as enjoyable as I had hoped. I was left feeling rather unimpressed by the place.

Absolutely brilliant place for your caravan - my wife and I have done most around the central belt and this is the best by far, great caravan spaces, lots of room, spotless clean, good walks, very pleasant staff and good wee cafe for a spot of lunch. Not far to go into linlithgow town centre.
This campsite should be held up as a flagship for others to follow -

Why aren't all campsites like this. Huge pitches which are gravel & in December that was great. Individual wash, shower & toilet facilities spotlessly clean. Laundry room with washer, dryer ( tokens ) a spinner if you hand wash, washing line & pegs, air maiden, little library. Hot water & it's really hot.
Great cafe with wonderful food and lovely staff. Very pleasant staff at the visitor centre during check in & out. Didn't get much time for walking but will definitely return.
A huge pat on the back to all involved

Quite a long journey to get there but worth it. Cafe closed too early so all you could get was Ice Cream. There were several walks but it was exceptionally hot so we just went for a short walk to find the animals. It was very disappointing as very few animals were visible - the highlight was a friendly black cat!

Had a fantastic time at Beecraigs with my grandson. We started at the visitor centre which had some interactive activities for children, then went to see the animals, mainly cows and sheep though my grandson was impressed by the rams with their curly horns and the “Oreo” cows. Back to the cafe for lunch which was good and reasonably priced then off to the adventure playground. Lovely walks, fantastic play equipment for all ages and we saw the campsite which looked great too.
Amazingly we were there for over four hours and will be going back as we didn’t even see the loch !!
Well done to the cafe staff, thought they had a great one way system and food came out really quickly.
Excellent day out, great staff and stunning views.

Festive Forest: Don’t bother. Overpriced. Yes we expected rain but didn’t expect zero places to shelter. Rides are expensive. You’re essentially paying an entrance fee for a mediocre illuminated trail.

Beecraigs is a lovely country park with lots of lovely walks, especially during this roasting Scottish summer, to suit all ages and fitness levels. Lots of wildlife to see. The loch is nice to visit. Good visitors centre to start you on your way.

This is a question to anyone that has camped there. Are there spare sockets within the dishwashing facilities to plug in and leave an electric cool box? Thanks for your help.

There is a small farm at Beecraigs, unfortunately they do not allow dogs in the area so I have not been in there. But I think you can see some some animals - not sure if you can feed them or actually touch them. There is a visitor centre there so you might be able to enquire there.
