Our wonderful giant nordic tipis are a space for everyone on the campsite to use and enjoy from 7:30am til late. They are a place to:

• eat a hearty breakfast or grab a panini
• have a proper coffee & plan your Edinburgh experience
• enjoy a hot evening meal served every night from 6pm (except Tuesdays)
• play games together
• be entertained (we are Fringe Venue 403 and regular acts and live music)
• join in on the Sunday “pub quiz” from 8pm
• have a beer or a wee dram with friends
• have a go at our open mic
• shelter from the, occasionally a bit wet and windy, Scottish elements
• a place to charge your phone / iPad / power pack etc free of charge

We’ve always been proud of our toilets and showers at Ed Fest Camping. We are a temporary campsite but not all of our facilities are temporary – we have 2 toilet blocks and 1 shower block with toilets, all of which are fixed permanent facilities and provide high quality hot showers, loads of basins to wash in and plenty of toilets.

In addition to these, we will also be providing the 2 extra high performance domestic standard shower blocks and toilet block in the Meadow. This means our Meadow area for Motorhomes, Caravans, Campervans (and any tent campers who want on-pitch parking) will have access to their own showers as well as their own toilet block with high-quality sinks and taps, and fully-flushing toilets connected to the mains.

All blocks are all regularly cleaned, inspected and re-stocked…

Basically we will all be as clean as a whistle!!!

We’re very proud of the campsite we produce and operate for just 4 weeks of the year. We know we represent really good value for money compared to other available accommodation in Edinburgh during the Festival & Fringe, and compared to other temporary campsites servicing festivals around the country. Reviews are very important to us so we can understand what we are getting right and where we need to improve, and the customer feedback we get is directly used in our planning for the following year… Our customers are everything and we want to make you happy!!!

It’s important to us as a team to try to create as little an environmental impact as possible. This year we are upping our game and have some new initiatives especially around single use plastics and re-using where possible when it comes to our Tipi bar and cafe. Where this proves impossible we make sure everything which can be recycled is at a state of the art Scottish recycling centre…
