What customers say
This is a peaceful and well-maintained site with spacious pitches and a good location for visiting Aberdeen. Guests frequently praise the friendly staff and quiet atmosphere. However, many reviews highlight that the toilet and shower facilities are dated and in need of refurbishment, with some reporting issues with cleanliness and hot water. Wi-Fi availability was also a concern for some. Despite the facility issues, many visitors would return due to the value for money and peaceful environment.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Camping field was in good condition and was able choose our own pitch.
Disliked Toilet Facilities were diabolical, stayed for two days and the toilet block looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a week. During our stay it was not cleaned at all and there was no toilet roll. General waste bins were filled to the brim. The barrier was never put down through the night, so there was no security.
