My Review
The staff were very helpful, the facilities were spot on. The only down side for me was, we had to leave the site to have a social evening, there's no entertainment on site.

Great site
Stayed here for 7 nights the wardens and facilities on site were 5 star and location for exploring this region is excellent, being National Trust members made the location perfect for visiting the 3 Castles close by. The only down side to this site is the open aspect with no trees, hedges or shrubs to give a little privacy, this was made more apparent by a certain number of members who think it is acceptable to walk across pitches to gain access to the toilet blocks Etc. Also choose a pitch away from the toilet block in peak times as this is a play area for children whose parent`s do not which to control them, but after saying we will visit again but out of peak season.
great for outdoor activities
Stonehaven is one of the best for outdoor activities. The site is next to the beach, and next door to a leisure centre with a 50 metre outdoor pool of heated filtered seawater and also a 25 metre indoor pool with laned sessions three times most days. So ideal for anyone who wants to swim. (I used the indoor pool with a lane to myself both at lunchtime and evening, but the outdoor pool with chute and inflatables would be better for families. Also it is easier to swim in seawater.) There is also a lovely coastal path along the cliff tops running south, to and past Dunnottar Castle, for walking (or running in my case). With a clear sky this is nicest first thing with the sun rising over the sea. (Unless especially interested in the detailed history - which I'm not - I didn't find visiting Dunnottar Castle too interesting. The best experience is to view it - free - from the surrounding cliff tops.) And I also found Stonehaven a good base for road cycling- my favourite way out of town was the A957 to Crathes or Banchory. (Crathes Castle is well worth a visit.) Plenty of unclassified roads to explore on the way and north of Crathes. The site itself looks recently redeveloped and so is quite bare. It would benefit from hedges between pitches. The toilet block is of the highest CC standard, and the wardens (one couple only) do a fantastic job. Stonehaven is "the birthplace of the deep fried mars bar" and some visitors flock to The Carron Fish Bar for that reason. I didn't try one so can't report on that.
This newly renovated site
This is the cleanest well kept site I have ever seen, the staff are friendly and keep the site well tended. It is positioned with in a 5min walk of the center of town (with good food shopping).
This site is popular as it should be with so much going for it. Give it a try
East Coast Hols
Immaculate site looked after by the two very helpful wardens.
Excellent for families as there is the large outdoor pool next door along with the climbing frames and such like in the adjoining play area.
The beach is opposite the campsite so you couldn't get any closer, nice walks along the coastal paths including the one to Dunnottar Castle.
First Visit To Site
Our first visit to the site, the staff wardens welcomed us and were helpful and friendly. The site looks new and is immaculate even though it was fully booked whilst we were there. It had a fantastic baby room with even a small bath (perfect for our 6month old). It was nice to be beside the sea smelling the sea air and hearing the sound of the waves. There is a huge park next to the site, great for familys also an indoor and outdoor swimming pool just next to the park which was great until the swimming pool had a very loud disco and Dj was very noisy, this went on until midnight waking up our baby. So for that reason it wasnt peaceful. There was a chipshop, icecream shop within a few minutes walk. You could also walk into the town which was small not much there. Not sure I would go back to the site or not, maybe we just had a bad experience due to the Disco which would be great for some familys.
Stop off for a couple of days
This was our last stop before we headed home from our holidays. I love this site it's in a good location great for family's the staff are lovely, and the facility's are spotless and well looked after. Highly recommend it to anyone. Very happy caravanner was sorry to leave.
Great site
Loved this site. Everything was great, location next to the beach actually within Stonehaven, could walk to all facillities in Stonehaven, only 15 minutes from Aberdeen. Hard standing pitches excellent, roads within site excellent, toilet and shower facilities excellent. Overall fantastic site will definitely be back.
Fabulous seaside site
This was the best site we have stayed on so far. We got a warm and friendly welcome on arrival and some tips as we declared ourselves newbies. The site is only two years old and the wardens worked hard to maintain the immaculate facilities. The hot modern shower and toilet block received our teenagers' highest rating so far! The heated Lido next door is well worth a visit; it is quieter for swimming lengths in the morning with inflatables etc available in the afternoon. It's worth knowing that the ticket is for the day so you can swim in the morning and return in the afternoon. The Lido cafe is good value with freshly cooked fare. We enjoyed exploring Stonehaven itself which is just a short walk along the front, with plenty of shops and boutiques. There are nice pubs at the harbour and we visited the famous Aunty Betty's ice cream shop with the youngest. Dunottar Castle is 2 miles south of Stonehaven and well worth visiting to see its stunning location. Thank you for a great stay.
Excellent Position on the Sea Shore
As you would expect from a site that's only 2 years old, everything here is in tip top condition. The wardens are very helpful and friendly. For those with families, there is a playground on site, the beach is only 50 yards from the gate, there's a heated swimming pool right next door and a fitness centre just around the corner, more than enough to keep the kids happy. No dog walk on site, but the beach is so close it doesn't matter. Only a 5 minute walk into town either along the prom or on the beach and if you need more exercise, further afield you can walk to Dunnottar Castle just 2 miles along the cliff path. For golfers, there's a course just along the road which welcomes visitors. For serious shopping, Aberdeen is just up the road with regular buses running from just outside the site. There is so much to see and do in this area that another visit is a must to catch up with some of it. We'll definitely be back.
