What customers say
This campsite offers a peaceful, quiet escape with beautiful countryside views, appealing to those seeking a "wild camping" feel with basic but clean facilities including a hot shower and composting toilets. Pitches are spacious and well-organised. While most reviews praise the tranquil atmosphere and stunning scenery, a few mention issues with the remoteness, steep toilet steps, and occasional noise from other campers. Some found the tents and facilities not entirely as described or suitable for larger groups, though many express a desire to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Definitely recommended if self sufficient and don't need electricity.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lots of space, and beautiful scenery, just a short drive from Portsoy. Perfect if you are self sufficient and just want a pitch for the night. The owner has tried hard to provide a few facilities like a basic toilet and shower, bins and a sheltered area to enjoy some outside space and bbq. We were in a motorhome so had everything we needed on board and didn't need anything else other than a parking area, with lovely views and a lovely quiet night's sleep away from main roads.
Disliked The field is on a slope so although we had chocks and were able to level up, it is something to bear in mind. £20 just to park up a motorhome which uses no other facilities and has no black or grey waste disposal provision is still expensive but cheaper than most other campsites.

Peaceful quiet campsite tucked away great for a stop point.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Nice quiet beautiful scenery loved being there first time Eco camping would do it again. Great stop off point if heading further north might stop off on way back.
Facilities are clean and well maintained.
Disliked Steps going into the toilet are quite steep due to not being able to do stairs very well, made it hard so not really a problem for some nowhere to wash up as only hot water is the outdoor shower.

Bell tent
Liked absolutely beautiful camp site in the most peaceful setting. we were the only ones there and stayed in the bell tent .
the site is lovely. composting toilets were clean and well stocked . The shower was lovely and warm
The polytunnel was a lovely touch sheltering us from the wind whilst watching the sun go down .
this has to be my favourite camp site and we will definitely be back .
