  • Family-run holiday park at St Cyrus, just off the A92 in Angus
  • St Cyrus Beach 15 minutes’ walk; Dunnottar Castle 20 minutes’ drive
  • Well-maintained site; playground, shop and pub within 10 minutes’ walk
Venturing north to drive the North Coast 500 or staying around to explore more of the Angus region? Either way, family-run (and friendly) Ecclesgreig Holiday Park makes a handy base for short stops or longer getaways. It’s set in the small coastal village of St Cyrus between Aberdeen and Dundee (both about 45 minutes’ drive), with easy access to the main north-south A92. If you’re staying around for a while, you’ll have time to find the sandy beaches just 15 minutes’ walk away, and follow the wildlife walks starting right from the pitches. You can also keep the kids occupied at the Lochside Playpark (10 minutes’ walk), where there’s a bowling green and astroturf pitch for ball games as well as climbing frames. There’s a small essentials shop in St Cyrus, which also has a popular pub (10 minutes), where you can grab a pint and a bite, or they’ll also deliver your favourite takeaway if you don’t want to stir from your pitch. For bigger shopping expeditions, seaside Montrose (15 minutes’ drive) has several large supermarkets as well as numerous cafés, pubs and restaurants. The amenities on site include toilets, a shower block, a launderette and drying room, as well as a handy covered terrace in case the weather isn’t playing ball.

Martin T.

Electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked New build BBQ area at top.

Disliked There was no grey waste drain that was designed to accommodate a motorhome or van. The level of the grey waste disposal point was higher than the water tank sumps, therefor could not naturally drain with gravity. Used flexible drain hose but would not drain. This resulted in the use of many buckets which meant grey waste was inadvertently spilling on the concreted parking area.
Suggest you incorporate a drive over drain for vans/motorhomes.
Yes there are a few smaller drains as you go down the track but cannot park here to drain as would cause unnecessary obstruction.

Electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked Absolutely by far the best camping facility we’ve had the pleasure of over our many years camping or touring. The facilities are fantastic showers are clean and tidy by far the best pressure and temperature anywhere. We will be back to visit the nature reserve as it is quite frankly paradise but we’ll stay in a Pod next time as they look superb. Thanks to Doug and his team.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Very friendly site. Staff very helpful both before and during stay. Pitches are a good size. Location is rural and quiet but only a short drive to bigger towns. Facilities are good with onsite washing machines and tumbles dryers, outdoor drying facilities and designated BBQ areas . Limited toilets and showers but of a good standard. Would definitely book again

Electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked Loved the space, felt safe, children had a good amount of freedom going to park area. Great laundry room and loved the communal areas.

Disliked Only slight negative would be there was litter around the site, not the fault if the site but maybe more litter bins might help or persons signs to remind people

Local attractions

St Cyrus National Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ walk) is a smashing spot for (hopefully) spotting skylarks and rare peregrine falcons, paddling in the North Sea and following trails through ever-shifting sand dunes. If you’re keen to see more birds, it’s a short hop to the Montrose Basin Visitor Centre (15 minutes’ drive) for the chance to spy pink-footed geese and kingfishers; there’s another sandy beach close by for summer swims. If the kids are not keen on getting in the sea, there’s an outdoor pool at Stonehaven (25 minutes), and if the weather turns bad, there’s a century’s worth of planes to be seen in hangars at Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre (10 minutes). Wait until the skies are clear before you visit legendary Dunnottar Castle (20 minutes), as its dramatic setting high on sea cliffs means it closes when it’s windy. An alternative is the 18th-century House of Dun (15 minutes), where you can learn about local life in the folk museum and tour ornate rooms and formal gardens. And Fettercairn Distillery (20 minutes) is open for tours and tasting, so you can pick up single malt as a Scottish souvenir.
