There are many walking options available in the area immediately surrounding the Park including exploring the area around Tayport’s old harbour and lighthouse or venturing into Tentsmuir Forest – these walks are easily accessible by the less able and for wheelchairs/mobility scooters.

Our main car park is located centrally and we also allow 1 car to be parked next to each caravan. Many caravans and all our hire fleet having a dedicated parking space beside the caravan.
