2nd stop towards NC500
1st time in the area, superb location.
Excellent facilities.
Very handy for getting to either centre of Stonehaven itself, further round to the old harbour area or a cliff top walk north to the old Chapel.

Fabulous time.
We have visited Stonehaven before but never camped here. We arrived here after travelling from a Private site in St Andrews. My goodness what a contrast! The wardens here were so welcoming and helpful. The pitches were spacious. Facility blocks immaculate. We felt at home straight away and our pitch had a lovely view looking towards Stonehaven. On this occasion we had our daughter and two grandsons with us. They enjoyed playing their outdoor games and riding their scooters. The shower blocks were so warm and bright they enjoyed their trips to the shower. The pebble beach is right outside the site where there are many rock pools to search and stones to skim. The local land train also stops at the entrance of the site and took us all the way to the dramatic Dunnottar Castle and back. The whole family enjoyed the massive ice creams from the local parlour and the fish and chips. We even tried a deep fried mars bar from the birthplace in Stonehaven. We had a dip in the outdoor pool and walked the prom. Plenty to do here and a fabulous location for touring. We’d love to return and would highly recommend it. Thank you so much to the wardens who managed to secure us an extra nights stay. Really appreciated it! Well done on keeping such a wonderful site!
Fantastic location and facilities for families
We stayed here for 2 nights on our recent epic journey north from the Midlands to Orkney staying at caravan club sites a long the way. This was a lovely site to stay at in an excellent location with great facilities. Pitches were great as you would expect and wardens friendly. The location really made it. A short walk to a nice sea front with a great fish and chip shop (allow time to queue!). Lovely ice cream/ sweetie shop next door too and well maintained public toilets. Stonehaven centre was a short stroll along the front and had a bank/ coop/ etc. Also great kids play park near the site outside the indoor pool. The outdoor pool was great fun. Couldn't recommend it more!

Great location
This well located site is usually quiet and peaceful. The whole site is clean and tidy; the shower block is immaculate. Staff are efficient and friendly. A pebble beach is directly across a quiet road, Stonehaven centre is a few minutes walk away and the best fish and chip shop in the world (according to Lonely Planet) is a couple of hundred yards away.
In Wednesday evenings in the summer, it is far from quiet as the open air pool next door holds a weekly disco from 10 until midnight. However, staff made us aware of this when we arrived so we simply opened the windows and sang along with the music! I was tempted to go, but settled for a pleasant swim on a sunny afternoon instead.
Stonehaven is a delight with a pretty harbour, great local museum in the old tollbooth, apparently run by Jim, an entertaining volunteer.
Always a great site to visit
I always enjoy staying at Stonehaven, due to the pristine site & deserved 5 star status. The wardens are a credit to this site as they work tirelessly to keep in its current condition. My wife & myself try to visit this site at least 3 times a year due to being brought up in Stonehaven & always gives me the fondest memories of my childhood. If you are looking for a site you can chill out you can’t beat Stonehaven

Love this site but..
Lovely site,clean,friendly and well laid out pitches. I note that a speed limit for vehicles while driving on site has to be adhered too and often wonder why this is not extended to cycle users.
More oftener than not its children/teenagers who cycle but some adults also participate, I have on many occasions witnessed cycle riders going well over the speed limit in place.
If cycles are allowed to be used there should be clear and concise instructions to all with regards to the speed limit and/or an area provided for children to cycle in.
I never see parents supervising young children on cycles and are often staggering all over the road or on the grass between caravans and motorhomes.
Who is liable if a child / young adult damages anyone's unit? The club?
This is not the only site to have this problem maybe someone needs to take a look at this.
Just an observation but it could be a costly on.
Good little site.
A great little site st the edge of town, within walking distance of Stonehaven, and 100 yds from the sea front. Despite its location, close to the town and near a road was remarkably quiet and peaceful. The weather was kind so visited nearby Dunnottar Castle.
Toilets immaculate, wardens friendly and WiFi pretty good, what’s not to like.
Great site, great wardens, great location but not all great?
As per the 116 reviews or so about this site, it really does tick all the boxes. Special recognition should be given to Ian and Christine, the wardens for that extra mile. However, this site suffers from electrical overload at peak times and what I find unforgivable is that it has been like this for months and the club has not resolved the issue. During these peaks, it becomes necessary to close the toilet and shower blocks, just how inconvenient and annoying is that? We will go back but why does the club leave the dirty laundry to the wardens?
It isn't the cheapest site by a long way and those who support the club during the colder season are rewarded with a colder reception.
Come on club, sort this mess out!
It isn't difficult?

First class site
We have been members of the club for a relatively short time, we’re still getting used to our outfit but what a super site to get into the swing of things.
On arrival the welcome was so warm and we were made to feel right at home. The pitches are totally flat, no problem levelling the Caravan. All the facilities are close no matter where you are on the site and the standard of the washroom, showers, toilets, laundry room and drying is wonderful. Everything is so clean!
You are literally a few meters from the beach and a very short walk into Stonehaven itself. The site is secured with automatic barriers so no worries there.
So impressed were we that we’ve booked in again in June!
Plenty of places to visit and 20 minutes or so from Aberdeen. We would highly recommend a visit to this site.

Lovely site with helpful staff
We visited on the spur of the moment but as it was low season we had a choice of pitches. The grounds are well kept and very tidy, the pitches were large, flat and even and the toilet and shower facilities were kept spotlessly clean. We were happy to find the site was very quiet, even during the day. Dogs are welcome too.
The reception stores a selection of food and toiletries and is happy to order your favourite newspaper for you.
The site itself is positioned across a quiet road to the beach and beside a swimming pool and play park for the kiddies. There is even a very good chip shop within walking distance.
Overall an excellent site and we will definitely be back.
