Superb setting, convenient for beach and town. Kept immaculately by helpful, friendly staff.
This one should not be missed.
AMAZING!!!
As a new club member I wasn't sure what to expect but on arrival we were greeted by a friendly smile from Muriel who explained the site procedure, gave us directions to the pitch and offered advice on other places of interest within the area. arriving at the pitch I noticed a trail of, what I thought was water from our motorhome but soon realised it was diesel and we had a pretty serious leak. Ian from the site office told us not to worry as he would be able to clean up the mess and he gave us some cardboard to stop any further drips. He also offered advice to a local trusted garage. We had to stay one extra night till the part was obtained and fitted, and again this wasn't a problem even though the site was almost at full capacity.
The site has to be the cleanest and most pristine maintained site we have stayed in and I'm told most of the CAMC sites are at a similar standard so we are excited about our next trip away.
Stonehaven is a lovely town with a few pubs and restaurants, we eat at the Ship Inn (Highly Recommended) but best to book before you go. Take a 2 mile walk along to the castle or if you fancy a dook in the outdoor heated pool it's right next to the site.
We will definitely return. A+++
Inconsiderate members
Brilliant site and a credit to the wardens, one of the best kept sites on the network. Great location and lovely walks from the site.
Disappointing to see members still having no respect for people's pitches and continue to walk through pitches rather than using the designated walkways, just lazy people who disregard people's space and I bet they would have something to say if I walked right through their pitch!
Lovely site
Recently spent 3 nights at this site and it’s the best maintained site we have stayed on. Facilities are very clean and well kept. Staff were very friendly on arrival and we were given the opportunity to select which pitch we wanted out of those available. Really enjoyed that the site is located within an easy walk of the town centre so no need to use the car to buy supplies or enjoy a meal out at the local pubs! The disco music from the outdoor swimming pool on Wednesday night wasn’t a problem and there were signs up advising campers that this would be taking place.
We’ll definitely be adding this site to our favourites list - looking forward to our next stay!
great site
great site can walk into the town always something going in , the harbour is lovey to sit and watch the world go buy ,,, the staff are just fantastic very hard working and everything is run perfect , cant say enough how important it is to have good staff , this site has it spot on thanks again ally
Well maintained site
Nicely maintained site which has been significantly improved since CAMC have taken it over with new modern service block. Situated on edge of Stonehaven next to small village of Cowie and adjacent to open air swimming pool and beach. Stonehaven shops, beach and harbour all within a 15-20 minute walk and there are a variety of shops including a supermarket nearby. Walks along the beach / cliffs take you to the Highland Boundary Fault (north) and Dunottar Castle (south). RSPB Fowlsheugh a few miles south with puffins on the cliffs. Boat trips run from the harbour. Good eating places at harbour - Tolbooth Restaurant, Marine Hotel and the Ship Inn. Excellent touring base - Aberdeen and Banchory (Deeside) only about 12 miles away and good bus and rail links to Aberdeen.
Couple of negatives. It can be noisy - open air swimming pool open into evening and there is a weekly midnight disco. Also access road whilst a decent 2-way road is often down to a single lane due to the number of vans / motorhomres parked along the seafront so be prepared to have to reverse. Also (but hopefully temporarily) there has been a significant bird flu outbreak in 2023 along the Aberdeenshire coast and Stonehaven has been badly affected
5 night stay
This site is located in a great area, next to the beach and a lovely walk to Dunotter Castle. However this is the only site I have been on that I've known allow travellers. There were three different caravans located in the site and had dirty nappies lying around the vans, kids running around at all hours and children dropping there pants and urinating in the middle of the road . One family had a dog which had a wooden shelter out the back of the van. The dog was never walked, and never allowed in the van and continued to bark all throughout the night outside. The men from the vans would stand on the roadway chatting to each other. Spitting and very intimadating. Not sure I would return to this site due.
Noisy nearby swimming pool!
Suddenly very, very loud music started playing, we desperately searched to find the source, we asked someone in charge who told us it was a regular thing and it was coming from the swimming pool nearby! The staff member said that sometimes it can go on until late into the evening!! Luckily for us after a few hours it stopped.
Very good site but
We have just had a lovely week stay here loved it most of the time there, staff and site cannot fault well done you . However the music noise that comes from the open air swimming pool is not good when you are on service pitches 77/1/2/3 some days you could hear it in the harbour. Also noticed a group of travelers on site with a dog tied to a wooden kennel at the back of the caravan ?? . Do not recommend bathing in the sea or paddling due effluent , overall very nice site and a good feel to area will return one day
Great site, BUT
This is a very good site with all facilities well maintained by the very pleasant site staff. Short walk to town centre along promenade which has lots of seating, some cafes, ice cream shops etc. 30 minutes drive to Montrose which has one of the best beaches on northeast coast. Only drawback is open air swimming pool which lies immediately adjacent to site and has music playing most of the day, sometimes very loudly. People with low tolerance to noise should choose pitch beyond the toilet block.
