   Beecraigs Country Park is a great place for anyone who loves the outdoors. There are miles of trails for walking and hiking, from easy paths around the loch to steeper climbs like Cockleroy Hill with amazing views at the top. If you enjoy biking, there are trails for all levels, including a skills area to practice jumps. Horse riding is also available, and families will love the adventure play area for kids. Orienteering adds a fun challenge, and there’s plenty of space to explore whether you’re on foot, bike, or horseback. It’s a perfect spot for outdoor fun and adventure. The park is also full of wildlife and peaceful spots to relax. You might see red deer or Highland cattle as you walk through the woods or along the water. The nature trails are beautiful and quiet, ideal for spotting animals or enjoying a calm walk. It’s also great for dog walking, with many paths and even a secure dog area. There are picnic tables near the Visitor Centre, and on clear days you can see all the way to Edinburgh and the Forth bridges. Beecraigs is a lovely place to unwind, enjoy nature, and spend a relaxing day outdoors.

   I paid £14.85 for one night as a backpacker (no vehicle, one-man tent, no elec). A great location in the forest and the facilities were top notch. Feels petty but I reserve 5/5 for campsites that charge backpackers around £10.

   We came to Beecraigs Country Park this morning hoping to see the animal attraction (Highland cows, deer, sheep, etc.), but unfortunately it has been closed down for years which was very disappointing since it’s still mentioned in many places online. There are no animals here anymore. The park itself is nice for walking and nature, but if you’re visiting mainly for the animals, be aware they are no longer part of the attraction

   Wonderful place to walk, lots of route options and safe for dogs off-lead, as well as plenty of bins, so generally it’s very clean. My only criticism is that the visitor centre cafe isn’t dog-friendly, so I can’t buy a coffee to take on my walk, like it do at other places.

   Beautiful park in amazing situation. Visitor centre is high on hill, with brilliant views north, east, and south. Cafe provides good food, and staff are helpful and friendly. Variety of woodland walks for all ages and abilities. Just beautifully kept, with clear signs marking the routes. Al in all ... a great place!!

   A great place for a leisurely walk. Many different routes and most are very easy. Taking a walk through the pine woods is very atmospheric. The café at the tourist centre is very good; nice coffee, hot chocolate and cakes. Will definitely be back.

   The views here are spectacular. Nice walks & bike trails. Has a cafe, shop, picnic area & viewing room with video about it's wildlife & trails. Great place to visit. A must for the views. Plenty parking. Go to the bottom car park where there are disabled spaces right next to the cafe.

   Gorgeous views and great walks. The paths are holding up well having had work done in the last couple of years and as has been the case since I was little the play area keeps children and parents entertained. The new(ish) visitor centre with cafe has plenty of outdoor seating to allow you space to relax and enjoy the views with pets too.

   Phenomenal public place. Free entrance. Forests, open spaces, a loch, aninal centre, bike trails. Different walks with different levels of experience needed. Maps at the reception. Good for dogs. Perfect for even just wee walks. Spectacular views. Visitors centre which has such amazing attention to detail and interactive things for Families. Public toilets but they shut when the centre is shut. Wheelchair access at some parts. Picnic benches.

   There's plenty of car parking all over the park. There's a small animal farm with cows, sheep, deer and Highland cattle. There's a viewing platform with some stunning views toward Fife and Edinburgh weather permitting. There's a small loch you can walk round and it leads to another path that takes you all over the park. The paths can get quite muddy in places and that's with the sun out. The play park is a good size and caters for a wide range of age groups. There's a toilet located across from the play park. The visitor's centre has toilets, shop and a small cafe but it can get really busy at times.
