Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Loved the peace and quiet. Lovely park owner and well appointed reception area. Park was well kept. Toilets amd shower clean and the building they where in warm.
Touring site was immaculate and I had it literally to myself. Discrete bin area, bbq spot and fresh drinking water taps.
Small take and return library.
Within 5min cycle into Kintore and 10min cycle from the train station
I had a lovely small raised campfire (the one that doesn't damage the grass).
My new favourite campsite
Disliked: Absolutely nothing

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: The camp was quiet, nothing special as that is what we like. We were welcomed by Carol, who is a resident there. We had to ring her to check us in, no problem with that.
The toilet block was tired and in need of refreshing. Having said that, they were kept immaculate by Belle.
Recommended if you’re looking for a central place to stay in the ‘Castle belt’
Disliked: The WiFi was non existent. So you have to rely on 4 or 5 G
6 amp electricity means you have to juggle what you use otherwise it constantly trips.

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Nobody there to greet us just a phone number and told a sheet on the notice board for us. Ladies toilets had a padlock on them so couldn’t use them. Men’s toilets/showes were unkempt and definitely not clean and in need of some repairs. Chemical toilet area was filthy and no clear instructions where to empty waste water.

From the manager: we would just like to appologise that there was no one to greet you however our secretary passed suddenly and we are still coming to terms with this and trying to go through everything that she dealt with,
the toilet block is going to be updated in the new year.
Unclean, unseated toilet block with no hot water.

Liked: Great location for a day trip to Bennachie.
Disliked: A previous camper had left an unpleasant residue on the toilet which was still there 2 days later.
There was lots of long hair in the shower and no hot water. I stayed for 3 nights and as it was quite chilly, it was disappointing not to be able to have a warm shower. The toilet block was locked on my last morning, so I could not use it at all.
I know it is the quiet season but there was no price concession, so I would have expected to be able to use the full amenities.
I will be recommending my walk to friends but not the campsite.

Liked: Quiet clean site. Useful book and dvd library.
Disliked: Toilet shower block in desperate need of upgrading with some shower trays laying full of water. On checking previoys reviews similar complaints have been recorded for years. Toilet/shower block has no operational space heating either.
