Flax Mill Construction Progress & Campsite Conditions
On this page we will endevour to provide up to date details on the status of the construction works and the state of the campsite so our guests know exactly what to expect.
Back in August 2023 work began to transform the historic Flax Mill building in Silverburn Park. As well as creating many new employment opportunities, the multi-million pound project will see the old derelict Flax Mill building become a community hub & centrepiece of the park offering a café & restaurant, Arts & crafts studios, a Gift Shop, Meeting rooms & event spaces, a backpackers hostel with 10 en-suite rooms & much more.
The construction phase is expected to last 3 years. While we will try to keep disruption to a minimum some construction noise may be unavoidable. Your continued support during this period is vital to us, and we hope you will enjoy the transformation of this beautiful building.
Since work began we have had over 1750 bookings and nearly 4000 happy guests stay with us and we are confident you will enjoy your stay with us too! Work takes place on weekdays between 8am - 6pm.
You can find out more about the project HERE.
PLEASE NOTE: CONSTRUCTION WORK WILL NOT TAKE PLACE ON WEEKENDS.
As long as temperatures could fall below 6° a generator on site will be running 24/7 to ensure a constant temperature is kept while new flooring is cured. This will give off some noise to the pods & tents.
Campervan Pitches
Our Campervan Pitches are located opposite the works entrance to the Flax Mill. The views facing out towards the golf course & the Firth of Forth are unaffected. We are confident you will still enjoy relaxing in and around your campervan but don't forget you also have our Walled Garden, Woodland walks & beautiful Leven beach right on your doorstep too.
Entrance to campervan area opposite flaxmill site entrance. Muddy conditions have cleared up well.
Picturesque views out across golf course are unaffected.
Path to toilet block from campervans. Passable in dry conditions but may get muddy after rainfall.

Eco-Pods & Tent Pitches
PLEASE NOTE: AS LONG AS TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 6 DEGREES THERE WILL BE A GENERATOR RUNNING 24/7 WHICH WILL GIVE OFF LOW-LEVEL NOISE TO THE PODS & TENT PITCHES.
Our Eco-Pods & Tent Pitches are located on our main campsite which is situated on the opposite side of the works entrance far away from the majority of work. Noise levels from the construction here are always very low, especially on the higher numbered tent pitches which are further away from any ongoing work.
Avenue towards Campsite. Can be muddy conditions in wet weather but you can drive down here. On foot this can be bypassed by using the path through the walled garden.
Some tent pitches were flooded during borehole drilling works but are recovering well.
All temporary fencing now removed. Views from pods are unobstructed again.
