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
