Why stay here ...
Our CL site itself is situated on a large field next to our family run fishing trawl design and net manufacturing company. It is in a quiet location surrounded by working farms and hillsides. Adults, children and pets are all welcome on our CL site.
The pitches are fully serviced with electrical hook up, water, waste and hardstanding with additional parking available. We have a chemical toilet disposal point, recycling point for waste and fire point located on the site. Wi-Fi is also available on site.
The whole area is fenced and easily accessible from the main road. On the North side, a small stream separates the site from a beautifully planned field garden area that includes a pond. The site is an excellent base for exploring the beautiful village of Gardenstown, situated only 1 mile away.
We have a small Spar shop that has everyday essentials, an excellent harbour and a community coffee shop that is open at the harbour in the holiday period, along with the local Heritage Centre. Boat trips to Troup Head RSPB Bird colony which is one of the biggest in the UK can be enjoyed from the harbour. Gamrie Bay dolphins and basking sharks can sometimes be spotted along with a sunset that is well worth waiting for.
St Johns Church dated 1004 overlooks Gardenstown beach. Excellent walks the whole length of the Bay take you from Crovie to Mohr Head via St Johns Church at the West of Gardenstown.
From the East you can discover Crovie, Troup Head RSPB Gannet colony, Fort Fiddes, Cullykhan Beach, Mill Shore beach and Pennan where Local Hero was filmed, all within 2-3 miles of the location. We have deep sea and beach fishing with excellent private rainbow/blue trout fishing (1 mile). Private salmon fishing on the River Deveron with a gillie is also available.
7 miles to the West lies Macduff with an 18 hole golf course, Myrus Driving Range, Marine Aquarium and Commercial Harbour. The Town of Banff / Macduff is separated by the estuary of the River Deveron. Banff is the main supermarket town with Tesco and Co/op stores. Visitor attractions include Duff House, Banff Marina, Banff Links Beach and Duff House Golf course.

Immaculate site, fully serviced
Gamrie Bay CL Site
Just spent 2 nights at Gamrie with the plan to take in Pennan, a short cycle ride away but watch out for the 17 percent climbs on the way. All facilities are first class with water and grey waste at each pitch making everything comfortable.
Unfortunately we had 40 mph winds which made the nearby windmill very loud through the night , nothing to do with the site.
Great location and spectacular views nearby.
Brilliant CL, lovely owners
Gamrie Bay CL Site
Stayed at Gamrie Bay for the last week of July, with some fellow motorhoming friends. Well laid out site on different levels and largely flat pitches. We were on the far right hand one so needed blocks just on one side. Serviced pitches with EHU/Fresh and Grey. Chemical waste and re-cycling very close as well.
Linda and Michael were great hosts, very friendly and welcoming. We love walking, so it was a challenge for us on 2-3 occasions to walk down (and back up from) to the beautiful harbour at Gardenstown, which is a delightful fishing village. The Community Cafe (Harbucks!) served great coffee and pancakes, and was mobbed at around 2pm when it opened, as we had great weather. All proceeds go to various good causes like the playgroup, the village hall and the harbour fund. Eli's cafe was also fabulous. The Garden Arms did a brilliant Buger called the Balmoral Burger, huge, with bacon,cheese onions, haggis, balck pudding and.....a burger! What a feast. We walked to Crovie (and back!) drove to Pennan (Local Hero) and had coffee and cakes at the Coastal Cuppie on the harbour, and visited RSPB Troup Head on the way back. Also drove to Fyvie Castle (NT) which was well worth the tour.
Bus services are very limited and expensive. We paid £21 per couple, return, to Banff (8 mile journey). Banff is also worth the visit with the Harbour, Castle, Duff House and the amazing Spotty Bag shop (which sells everything and has a nice cafe.
Our caravan Neighbour, John, who has a lobster boat in the harbour, was really friendly and helpful, and saved us from a soaking on our way back from the Garden Arms. He saw us walking and gave us a lift. 15 minutes later we had the most amazing storm, and would never have made it back to site in time! So, thanks John, and Linda and Michael fro being such lovely hosts. We had pretty good weather, spending every day in shorts and t-shirts, so that made the scenery even better. Chris & Carolyn
Fabulous CL
Gamrie Bay CL Site
Super high quality CL. Everything has been thought of to make it a five star site. The 4G on EE was excellent. I was streaming the Olympic coverage easily. (I don't have a TV so can't comment on reception) Really attractive well maintained dog walk. Fyvie Castle and lovely grounds, about 20 mins away, are worth a visit. Great views from the site. It's a stunninglybeautiful part of Scotland.
Caravanner visit to Gamrie Bay
Gamrie Bay CL Site
Visited this beautiful CL this weekend 4-7 July. This was our 4th visit, it is a very peaceful site, Linda and Michael are great hosts nothing is too much trouble. Each pitch is fully serviced and the view is beautiful. We had our boxer Brodie with us and he had a ball. There is a dog walk at back of site and a little wood which you are allowed to let dogs run without lead.
We were invited with other caravanners and motorhomes to a great BBQ on Friday and a delicious afternoon tea Saturday.
Gamrie Bay has a beautiful harbour to walk around and beach to let the dog off. Everyone is so friendly. Thoroughly recommend this site. We will definitely be back Lyn, Tony and Brodie
Beautiful site
Gamrie Bay CL Site
This is a beautiful immaculately kept site with lovely views over the surrounding hillside. The area is peaceful and only a short distance to Gardenstown with the sea views and harbour . The site owners were in holiday when we arrived however we were met and welcomed by a family member who was very helpful. We definitely hope to return here soon.
