With a charming coastline, comely castles, city lights, cultural attractions and championship golf courses on your doorstep, your only complaint will be how on earth to deeside what to do first... Deeside Holiday Park is a brilliant spot for discovering the dramatic landscapes of Royal Deeside and north-east Scotland, and the vibrant city of Aberdeen (just six miles away).
All pitches benefit from peaceful, leafy surroundings and the relaxed, friendly vibe at this family-run site.
There’s a games room, children’s playground and dog-walking area, a well-equipped laundry and a spacious, heated block housing the showers, WCs, and baby-changing. New for 2013 are family rooms, campers kitchen and TV lounge/dining area. If you fancy eating out, it’s an easy walk to several cafés and restaurants and a handful of takeaways also deliver to the park.

Not for nothing is Deeside the favourite summer stomping ground of the royal family: it’s an area rich in culture and history, and the scenery is breathtaking.
From Deeside Holiday Park, you’ll find it easy to reach all the top attractions: follow the castle trail to visit Balmoral, as well as other gems such as Crathes, Dunnottar or Castle Fraser; ramble around the ancient recumbent stone circles sprinkled across the countryside; or make the short drive into the 'granite city' of Aberdeen to the maritime museum or the art gallery, or to make the most of the excellent shopping and restaurants.
It is, of course, whisky a go go in this part of the world, so it would be rude not to support the local industry with a tour of one (or several) of the many distinguished distilleries nearby, many in picturesque settings.
If needed, you can clear your head with some walking, cycling or horse riding, or hit the River Dee for kayaking, canoeing or fishing; and, given the number of excellent golf courses in the area, there’s no chance of the golfers in your party getting teed off...

Dear Eilish G Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review following your recent stay, we always appreciate guests' feedback. We are glad that you were able to take advantage of the facilities and the recently installed family bathroom, it is very popular. We are sorry to learn that the pool table was out of action at the time of your stay, I believe this was fixed soon afterwards. Thank you again and we look forward to welcoming you to any of our sites again soon. |

Dear Jacqui C We would like to thank you for sharing your feedback with us following your recent stay, we are glad that you liked the pods, they have certainly been a big hit since their arrival. We want to extend our apologies for your encounter with a member of staff, we certainly do not expect behaviour like this from a representative of the park and the matter is in hand. |

Dear Ingrid B,
We would like to thank you for leaving your comments and feedback both in a review and with the park directly, we appreciate you taking the time to do so and have read through them thoroughly.
Whilst we are obviously pleased that there were elements of your stay that you really enjoyed we are of course disappointed to learn that you did have some issues.
All of our parks are family parks with rules in place to make it a safe and pleasant place for both adults and children whilst not detracting from the freedom a holiday maker would wish for. These rules are received upon arrival along with the on-site warden’s contact details should any issues arise out with office hours. If we are required or expected to deal with any incidents we need to be informed as they happen as intervention at a later stage or date will not have the desired benefit. Part of the service offered at our parks is that a warden is on the park and contactable 24/7.
If we ever witness any behaviour that is deemed threatening or that might be construed as intimidating to the point where the stay of other guests would be in jeopardy then we deal with it in a timely and professional manner.
I believe that the member of the group you referred to that was in the pond was reprimanded straight away thus alerting the group to the vigilance of the staff. However the duty warden on call that evening happened to be working on the park in very close proximity to the pods approaching the curfew time and beyond it and was not alerted to any further disturbances.
We are sorry that you felt your enjoyment of your stay was compromised and we thank you again for your feedback.
