A 5th Wheel adventure!
Smithy Croft is everything all the other reviewers have stated and more. We stayed here for 4 nights in Mid January 19 and it was a brilliant experience! We had blizzards, strong winds, sunshine and rain in equal measures but the warmth of welcome could not be bettered.
Bill and Jane are one offs and the site is well kept, clean, with great facilities and no shortage of something to see or do!
I did the tractor and classic car viewing which was really interesting and a must see. We think Bill was curious about our 5th wheel as he turned up for a look bearing a bottle of single malt to share a few drams, camping stories and local tales which was thoroughly enjoyable. We were treated to a bagpipe serenade by Bill & Janes grandson which was memorable, moving and very professionally performed. The Fiver was looking a bit grubby after the snow and weather but Bill happily furnished me with brush, bucket and cleaning materials to bring her back to shiny, nothing was too much trouble.
We were on the hardstand and all pitches have water, grey waste and there is a black water disposal. Full recycle facilities and a clean functional toilet complete this excellent facility, The road is a main one with fast moving cars but this did not detract from the overall area. Fraseborough is great for a visit and the cheapest petrol with an ASDA as is the coastal road with stunning views, walks and Pennan village where Local hero was filmed. A short drive took us to Speyside Cooperage at Aberlour which is well well worth a visit and really interesting.
Smithy Croft was a real smithy and we will certainly be looking out for the little tractor on the entrance sign again, hopefully in the near future. Recommended!
