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? Jane and Henry, very disgruntled campers

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.

A lovely site

We have just had our first weekend of the year at this site and we were not dissapointed. The weather was bad with very strong winds and light snow over the weekend but it didnt stop us walking into the small town which took a slow 10 mins as it was hard going with the weather and negotiating all the driftwood that had been washed up on the path. The wardens were very friendly and had warned us about the path into town on our arrival. We only used the toilets so cant comment on the showers but everything was spotless and warm. It would have been quiet if it hadn't been for the wind. There were a few vans also braving the weekend. Despite the weather we both enjoyed our stay very much and would definatly go back but with hopefully better weather

Great staff

We spent our New Year break at this site. The staff were very friendly abd had a night mare due to electric breakdown on several occasions. I have read various reviews re this, what were the staff supposed to do other than what they did. The sad fact is that some campers on site wereusing to much electricity. However I believe this is an annual event and the club have donenothing to uograde the supply. The staff as I have said were great. A small gesture of a free night by the club was gratefully received. To finishwehad a great break and enjoyed all Stonehaven had to offer. We will return to this site

Excellent site/not so excellent electric supply

Always enjoy going to this site. Excellent facilities and site wardens, used this site on many occasions but we were disappointed with the power outage over the new year weekend, this happened the year before also. Showers/toilet block also out of order due to power cuts. Will use this site again as it is excellent but will not use it at new year until the electricity problem is rectified.

Hogmanay blues

We stayed on the site for 3 nights so that we could take in the New Year Fireballs in Stonehaven. We arrived a little before 12.00 on the Saturday (30th) and were welcomed by very cheerful and polite wardens. After pitching our caravan we decided to settle down to a nice peaceful and restful afternoon in the van. Reclining suitability watching tv seemed like a perfect escape for me, I relaxed and watched some rubbish repeats blissful in my laziness. All was well until the electric went off. Up I got, shoes on and out to check the circuit breakers at the electric post. They all were on so it was back into the van to check the circuit breakers in there. Then I noticed that all the light posts around the site were off, several people were also making a beeline for reception. Shortly afterwards the power was restored, but only for a short period before going off again. And so the cycle continued for the late afternoon and early evening. Before bedtime I went to have a shower only to find the toilet block locked. The next morning the power went off several times, the warden went around the vans on site asking people to be frugal with their power use. During the afternoon I went to use the toilets only to find them locked again. New Year’s Day morning started off very frosty, unfortunately the electricity hand gone off again resulting in us having frost both inside and out on the windows. A happy new year blighted by such an awful experience on this site. Having spoken to other club members who had stayed there the previous Hogmanay the same thing happened then

Great site next to the beach for a winter break

All l can say is that it is a great site to stay at, the staff are very friendly and helpful and welcoming. The site is spotless at all times. You are right next to the beach with a little walk into the town for the Co-op and local shops and also the Bay Fish & Chip shop just down from the site. There is not much more l can say apart from it is an excellent site to stay and l would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic site

We spent 4 nights here with our grandson from 14th to 18th October. Excellent location next to beach and promenade walk. Spotless facilities and pleasant, helpful staff. Nothing too much trouble for them. Ideal location to explore local sights e.g. Dunnottar Castle ruin and Crathes Castle and grounds a few miles away. Excellent Bay Fish and Chip shop and Ice Cream parlour 5 minutes away. And Leisure Centre with pool next to the site. We loved our break and plan to return in the Spring.
