- Direct access to the North Sea Cycle Route; shared kitchen
It’s all about traditional outdoor holidays with fab farm views at East Balthangie Caravan Park, a site open all year round in rural Aberdeenshire where guests can settle down close to cracking coastal spots like the rugged coast of Banff and Buchan and the sandy beaches and dunes to the east. In fact, those bringing their bikes can get straight to the seaside pedalling, as there's direct access to the scenic North Sea Cycle Route.
The folk here say that their aim is to recreate what outdoor hols were like in the 1950s: as such, what you see is what you get, with the only additional charges being for extras like use of the machines in the laundry room. This is very much a 'live and let live' kind of place, where guests have plenty of room to pitch up in stunning Scottish surrounds and take in the peace and quiet.
The facilities here are traditional and well-maintained, including ladies' and gents' toilets, shower rooms with power showers and hairdryers, a laundry room with washing machines and tumble dryers, and a communal kitchen with a microwave, toaster and kettles. There's also a games room, where you can play pool, table tennis, table football or simply sit in the lounge area and watch TV or choose a book from the 'take a book, leave a book' library.
Dogs are welcome here, but please keep them on a lead except when in the dedicated dog-walking area.
East Balthangie Caravan Park is well set up for outdoor living: picnic tables have been strategically placed in some of the best spots for alfresco lunches. Crop growth allowing, you're also free to take strolls on the paths that crisscross the adjacent farmland. The nearest supermarket is in Cuminestown (10 minutes' drive). For a drink or pub-cooked meal, head into New Deer (10 minutes).

Thanks, Andy for a lovely review- sorry the weather turned for you, but we hope to see you again in the future. Storm Noah hit the South of England mainly, so fortunately we only experienced the top of the storm system! |

Thank you Mark for your kind review! We are in Winter mode at the moment, so glad you found the site to your liking at this time of year. We're unable to make repairs to the potholes properly until after the last of the bad snow, but we will be filling them again as soon as, in anticipation of the council making more permanent repairs. At least you managed down the main entrance road this week as it was blocked with snow just a few days earlier, and the only route in was from the Cuminestown end!!! |

Local attractions
Entranced by the scenery on site? There's plenty of things to see and do without straying far from base, with top picks being seaside strolls in Banff (20 minutes' drive) and tours of (purportedly haunted) Delgatie Castle (10 minutes). Aden Country Park (20 minutes), meanwhile, is a great option for picnics, barbecues and manageable trails; you can also poke your nose into a gift shop that sells local crafts and the artfully laid out Aberdeenshire Farming Museum.
Got a thing for blinking beacons? Make tracks for the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses in Fraserburgh (25 minutes), a historic lighthouse – the oldest on the Scottish mainland, no less – that was built right on top of a 16th-century castle. After having a look-see at the largest lens collection in the UK, other old buildings like Haddo House (25 minutes), Fyvie Castle (25 minutes) and Slains Castle (45 minutes) are up for inspection.
At a loose end on a Sunday morn? A rummage through the weekly market and car boot sale at Thainstone (40 minutes) should see to that.
Must see

- Aberdeen Maritime Museum (28.9 miles)
