Hidden Gem

Stayed on this site only for one night but I can see the potential for a great holiday here, the site is literally on the sea wall but unfortunately has no sea view, but the town is a 2 minute stride away with enough facilities for most needs, great staff, as usual and a great drying room for tent users, as they do have tents I think a meal room would be nice, I did not see one but all aside a beautiful site. Just along the edge of the site is a row of cottages called “Boatie Row” you just couldn’t make it up lol

Five out of five

This was my second visit to Stonehaven. It is a lovely site, no doubt, and my review last time was glowing. I have no real reason to change that. The only negative I felt from my last trip was that the site has a busy feel with a lot of pitches in a relatively confined space – and yet, once on a pitch, there is no sense of feeling too close to one’s neighbour.

It is a regimented site, more or less on a grid system. I am not one of those offended by this, but I do recall others describing it as a car park. I love the fact that the site has a bright open aspect, not surrounded by tall trees as so many sites are. I also like that one almost feels a part of the local community with the site surrounded on two sides by typical Scottish stone cottages.

The location is marvellous, obviously, right by the sea on the edge of what is a delightful little town. Having booked a serviced pitch I was confined, with only two available, to the northern boundary of the site which is perhaps the least-best place to be. Behind there is the swimming pool, some recreational areas, and a couple of plain buildings – the purpose of which are unknown to me; one of these had a very bright, heat or movement-sensitive light that seemed to be on more than it was off and shone straight into my van; the same building also emitted an odd, constant, high-pitched, but low volume, humming sound. This was not a major issue, but enough to be worth mentioning and, if I had a choice, I would have avoided this part of the site. The best place to be is on the east and north boundaries. On my last visit I had the pitch in the north-east corner; I really believe that this is the best pitch on the site and I don’t think I would book a service pitch here again – they are not in the best of locations. Oh, for being able to book specific pitches!

For myself, I do think it is a pity that the local authority allow motorhomes to park overnight along the front just outside the site. I do not begrudge those who are content to wild camp the right to do so, although it is not something I have ever felt comfortable doing, never have done, ever, in 35 years and do not really agree with in principle. But there are places where wild camping has little impact and can be acceptable and there are places where it should not be allowed; this is one of the latter.

I have spent too much time on negatives because this really is one of the best sites in the network; it is in a wonderful position, great for the town and shopping (a large CoOp is only five minutes' walk), excellent for caravanners for trips out and about and good also for transport links to Aberdeen on the X7 or further afield on the train (although the station is a good walk mostly uphill).

A regular visitor to Stonehaven

I'm a regular visitor to Stonehaven CAMC and I'm always looked after from arrival to departure. Ian and Muriel are excellent wardens who keep the site very well maintained. They're super friendly and do their job well.

Wonderful site, great location.

What can i add to the wonderful reviews already! Was so nice to have such a wonderful welcome from the warden, they both work tirelessly keeping everything pristine. The site is tucked in away at end of the promenade and within easy walking distance to the centre. We ate at the Belvedere Hotel which was so good we returned second day and enjoyed a meal in beer garden. Beautiful walk along the front and plenty attractions in area. This was our first visit but certainly won’t be our last! Thank you to the wardens who certainly know how to run a successful site, well done.

Great first time.

Stayed here for 4 nights and was very impressed with the site. I would certainly recommend it. Lovely and informative welcome from the Warden. Site and facilities were spotlessly clean. Great location, with a lovely walk into the Harbour area of the town. Ate at the Ship Inn, which was excellent, the Bay fish and chip shop serve up great fish suppers. The nearby Cowies recreational grounds (a couple of hundred yards away) are worth a visit, with putting, tennis and bowling, not to forget the very cheap bar🍺👍

Favourite go to site

Fantastic location, close-by to lots of things to do, easy walk along the flat beach front, very clean and tidy, staff are very welcoming, the only gripe we have, and this is nothing to do with the site staff, is that some campers allow their children to cycle around every path there is without supervision, although the site rules state that children MUST remain in sight of parents at all times, we got verbally abused by some parents for tell a child to stop cycling onto our pitch.

Great stay

Staying here for 5 nights on our way to a wedding. What a great site, lovely walk to the harbour with lots of great sculptures. Facilities are spotless and Muriel and Ian (who seem to work non-stop) are by far and away the friendliest, helpful wardens we've met on our travels. We'll certainly stay here again if we're in the area.
