I was part of a group of 4 staying at the campsite for 3 1/2 weeks, for the entire period of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (``Operation Perfect Teaset`` was our show) and Camping Ninja was brilliant!

As performers, we also had loads of opportunity to perform/rehearse any material we wanted in the marquee (we did two shows in the end) and the whole place had such a friendly atmosphere, we ended up much preferring performing there than in our own venue in the city centre.

As none of us were regular campers, our tent putting-up skills were interesting. We knew we'd put them up incorrectly, but we thought 'that'd do' and a few days into our stay we came back to the campsite to Kind David (he was very kind) saying ``you'll be the death of me``, revealing that the tents were collapsing under heavy winds, so they'd put the tents up as they should be (i.e. with the correct poles in the correct places), as well as hammering down our wind break etc.

We started calling it 'home', as it was for almost a month, and felt like we were all part of one big family. For instance, you feel like you can happily wander around the entire time in your dressing gown and no one will bat an eyelid.

We were very lucky weather-wise, (not much rain), and they really looked after us during our stay, starting with our welcome beers on arrival, ending with a free bacon sandwich before we left (they were using the last of the bacon anyway, I think, but we were very pleased)!

The usual things people would expect from a decent campsite were all in place - clean toilets and showers, a cooking tent (which we didn't use as we had our own stuff, but it looked nice), good washing facilities etc and a breakfast tent, which also served snacks and hot drinks in the evening too. There's also a freezer to put your ice blocks in and charging points for electrical stuff too. There's also a little lake/pond which is really pretty and plenty of space (we weren't crammed in right next to another tent).
