One night stay

Friendly welcome keeper of site. Went over and above to help 2 cyclists, one tent, and a lot of rain.

Little Gem!

This was a little gem of a campsite. Beautiful location, staff on site were really friendly and helpful, our cooking stove ran out of gas on our last day and they lent us an electric one so we could make our breakfast. Facilities are simple but clean and well kept, we will definitely be visiting again.

Enjoyable stay at Marina bay

Staff really friendly, and the location next to the beach was amazing. The facilities were really clean and the site is just outside Peterhead, which had some nice restaurants and cafes. We would definitely go back.

Great wee break

Got a very last minute booking, mid week for a glamping pod at this site. The pod was lovely and very clean. It was basic but it had what we needed. The toilets and showers onsite were very clean, shower pressure wasn't great but we coped. apparently the men's were better than the ladies. The campsite is right on the beach which the kids loved. We booked watersports through Aberdeenshire sailing trust, their instructor Matthew was great. The sailing club is right next door to the campsite and the bay is lovely and calm. It was perfect for learning a new watersport. The kids also did some swimming in the bay. The campsite had a laundry room and a wee shop with just sweets and juice and things. Aldi only a 20 minute walk away for bigger things. It is just a wee campsite, but well run, clean and a happy place to be. The kids didn't want to leave.

Hi Ruth, it was lovely to have you and your family. Many thanks - Rhona.

Nice place

Overall, a nice place with a nice staff. The beach is really close and as long as you don't seek any wild sea, like on the coast of Aberdeen, you should be fine. If yes, then we recommend not leaving the swimming part of your trip here. Other than that, the camp was perfect.

Site's response

Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again. Many thanks, Rhona.

Welcoming

We didn't find anything that wasn't good on the site. Staff made us welcome, pick your spot, a lovely introduction and welcome from the Warden, not far from town to walk into, a shop on the site, and plenty to occupy the children, Not forgetting the lovely ice cream from the shop.

Site's response

So glad you enjoyed your stay, hope to see you again, Rhona.

Our visit

Very welcoming and helpful. Obviously takes great pride in the site. We would definitely use the site again.

Lovely to have you and safe travels. Rhona.

Happy Days

Amazing site, what a find! Will return. Great location, friendly helpful staff willing to go the extra mile. Have given the facilities 4 stars because they are tired but exceptionally clean. The wardens are clearly proud of their site and it shows. Close to a range of facilities, eateries pubs etc only a short walk into town. Highly recommend.

Hi Susan It was lovely to have you, many Thanks Rhona

Flying visit

Touring Scotland and stayed here for just 1 night. Drove past it twice as there are no signs, then ended up in the boating marina. Eventually got to our pitch which was basic but good enough. I'm glad I didn't have a large caravan because the entrance is very narrow. Staff are super friendly and amenities are ample. It was very well lit up at night, so blinds have to be fully closed if you want good sleep. The only thing that annoyed me was some moron was washing a motorhome and was plugged into the clean water tap at the Elsan Point, as I was emptying and rinsing my toilet cassette. It's an okay place, but I won't be staying there again.

Site's response

Good morning Peter, sorry you didn't enjoy your stay but I'm sure you are enjoying Scotland. It's an amazing place. Safe travels and enjoy the rest of your holiday - Rhona.

Amazing views

Was a very nice welcome. Shop is well stocked, park is great, views were amazing. I think there should be a sign in toilet block for people to clean showers after using them and I was disappointed in the cleanliness of showers and there was no hand soap for 2 days.

Site's response

Glad you liked the park, Irene. My apologies again for the hand soap (I put it in the wrong way!) I will put up a sign see if this helps. Rhona.

Fantastic family holiday - a hidden gem!

Great little site. Has everything you need without being big. The bay is perfect for taking the dingy out or paddle boards. The boys loved crabbing every day. There's a play park on site too. Rhona runs the place, she's ace. Gave us suggested day trips almost every day. We went to many different bays, some fabulous castles and just had the best time. Supermarkets close by if you need to stock up, Peterhead town is a short walk and a fabulous fish and chip shop in the harbour. We stayed in a pod, it was so well-equipped that we didn't need any cooking stuff. You need your own bedding and towels but that's it. We took a fire pit and chilled on site most nights, soaking up the sea view. Kids loved it and so did we. Highly recommend.

Hi Natalie, it was lovely to have you all and hopefully see you again this year. Many Thanks, Rhona.

Excellent stay

First touring caravan stay for us and the people were extremely helpful. The facilities were excellent and surpassed expectations.

Site's response

Sorry for the late reply, it was great to have you. Rhona.

Beautiful clean site almost on the beach

What a beautiful site. Rona the warden very friendly and helpful. The site had clean toilet /shower block, laundry and dish-cleaning areas. A short walk to the shops. The bay was peaceful and relaxing... There were some local teenagers but didn't cause any problems. Would recommend.

It was lovely to have you. Caroline. Safe travels, Rhona

Not the prettiest location

If you like the smell of fish, a run down town and dog mess all over the beach and lido, book here. We left after one night. Shame, as the owner was a nice lady, but it is a port and a town with nothing open.

Site's response

Many thanks. Safe travels. Rhona.

Peterhead gem

What a fantastic location by the beach and the marina. Will definitely recommend to anyone and extremely friendly and helpful. My son and I only stayed one night and will definitely be back. Thanks.

It was lovely to have you, Thomas and see you again soon - Rhona.

Excellent location on a sandy beach

Site location excellent with a sandy beach. Facilities excellent apart from no heating so a bit chilly. Very welcoming reception with lots of information. 20 min walk into Peterhead town where there are shops and pubs.

Lovely campsite!

This site is lovely! Rhona the warden couldn't have been more attentive, she's a lovely host. The site was clean, organised and has everything you would need. The morning view onto the bay was amazing with the perfect sunrise. Would definitely visit again and recommend to everyone! It is also doggy friendly! Thank you for having us :)

Lovely couple, a pleasure to meet you 😊 Glad you enjoyed yourselves and hope to see you again. Safe travels! Rhona

Night away

We actually live locally in Peterhead but it was very nice just to get away from the house for a night. Facilities are nice and very clean. It's a lovely beach so nice if you have pets for walks.

A pleasure to have you xx

Lovely site!

Great wee spot, right on the marina. The pods are the perfect alternative to hauling a tent around. We all had a great night sleep, kids in bunks and us in a very comfy king size bed.

Site's response

Many Thanks

Lovely site

Lovely site with a great view to the sea. Pitches has plenty of space and staff were very helpful. Facilities are good and kept clean.

Hope to see you again. Rhona

Lovely site close to beautiful beach

What a great site close to beach. Just need a long hose for water, could benefit from installing a motor home service point, staff were friendly and facilities clean and everything you need.

Site's response

We now have a long hose, thanks for the advice Robert. Rhona
