About the site


This family friendly site is situated in a stunning location on the Aberdeenshire coast, looking out over the historic fishing village and sandy bay of Sandend Beach. Peg down your tent on one of the spacious non electric grass pitches, with enough room in the larger tents for up to eight to ten people. Those travelling in a campervan, caravan or motorhome can choose from electric grass pitches or non electric grass or hardstanding pitches. There are also static caravans available onsite, sleeping up to four, with a sofa bed on request. The perfect site for exploring Scotland, with trails leading from the site to many clifftop locations, including up to Portsoy, with scenes you may recognise from TV and films such as Netflix's Peaky Blinders! Up to two dogs are welcome for camping and touring pitches, but please keep them on leads at all times whilst onsite. BBQs are allowed for cooking purposes and must be at least 50cm off the ground. Sorry, no fires.
