Overlooking the bay used for paddleboarding, wild swimming and boating (added by manager 16 Sep 2022)

Overlooking the bay used for paddleboarding, wild swimming and boating

Simple site by Peterhead's beach, harbour and marina
A 20-minute walk from town centre and 50 minutes' drive from Aberdeen
Coast walks, nature reserves and museums within a 40-minute drive

Coast walks, country parks, seal spotting, whisky sipping… if your holiday wish list includes all, some or any of the above, potter along to Marina Bay Holiday Park. This relaxed site is right on the harbour, beach and marina of the so-called Blue Toon, named after the coloured stockings formerly worn by Peterhead’s fishermen. They go for a more modern style these days, but this Aberdeenshire town is still a busy and thriving port and you’ll be well placed to watch all the activity from your lodgings at the park. Peterhead is a simple site with hot showers, toilets and a washing-up area. Barbecues are welcome, as are canine companions – and the adjacent beach is dog-friendly too. So you, the dog and the rest of the family might like to take a 20-minute stroll by the sea and into town… where there are shops and supermarkets and a grand spread of places for dining and drinking. With your shopping and supping needs seen to, it’s time to get historical in Peterhead Museum, where the town’s past as a whaling centre is on display alongside an array of Inuit and polar objects brought back from icy waters far to the north. For a different kind of chill, head to Peterhead Prison Museum and get locked up in the cells, or mix your time travelling with exercise while walking the Peterhead Town Trail around the streets and out to the cliffs.

Very windy night!!! but the tent stayed intact. nice levelled ground, easy to pitch the tent on.

View from my tent in the morning - all the previous rain and wind was worth it.

Great site in good location

Deborah J. Aug 2024

Powered gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked: Great clean site with fabulous facilities. Close to the beach, plenty to watch in the marina. Our stay was unfortunately interrupted by other campers who partied until after midnight their kids were running around screaming and their dog was barking. Then the cars passing on the road above with their popping exhausts made for a not so restful night. Sadly this wasn't the sites fault and the other campers shouldve been more respectful

Liked: Rhonda gave a 5 star welcome, really friendly and helpful. Perfect site for walking into Peterhead, showers were clean, hot with music! Very quiet site.

Disliked: Pitches were incredibly close together with no privacy, which was a shame as the site otherwise was perfect.

Linda L. June 2024

Powered gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked: Friendly staff, facilities very clean. pitches reasonably level. Easy walk into Peterhead or to the prison museum. Quiet at night

Disliked: None of the touring pitches have a direct view across the harbour as static vans are right across the front, but we could see between the statics, so view wasn't completely blocked.

Unpowered grass tent site (four person)

Liked: Really simple when we arrived, the lady that met us (we couldn’t remember her name!), was the warden for the site. She was extremely welcoming, showed us around the facilities and to our tent pitch. Really lovely that we got the choice between 2 pitches. We chose to pitch right next to a fresh water tap, at the far end of the campsite. The grass was freshly cut so perfect to pitch on and we were right next to 2 picnic benches, which were well kept and clean. The site was a short walk from an Aldi, really pleasant walk along the marina/ beach. Toilets and showers were spotless, and had a code so that only campers could access. Our pitch was less than a minute walk to the toilets so not an issue early in the morning or later at night.

Disliked: The tent pitches seemed to be along a popular dog walkers route so there were a few people still out walking and talking late at night right by the tent. Not something we necessarily disliked but definitely worth mentioning.

Local attractions

For further walks and sea views, set a course for Slaing Castle (15 minutes’ drive), a 16th-century ruin high on the cliffs, or take your binoculars to the stark, empty and almost desert-like landscape of the Forvie National Nature Reserve to spot eiders, terns and seal colonies among the shifting dunes. There’s nature of a tamer kind at Aden Country Park (20 minutes), where the Victorian arboretum and the Aberdeenshire Farming Museum make for interesting wanders, alongside playgrounds and a dog agility course for those who just want to get jumping. On a grander scale, Haddo House (40 minutes) is a mix of country pile plus fine art collection and woodland wilderness. The most northerly city in the United Kingdom, Aberdeen, is a 50-minute trip away: take a cruise to the offshore wind farms and the oil rigs, hopefully spotting dolphins and porpoises, seals and even the odd whale enroute. If that hasn’t resulted in seasickness, test your nerves further on the thrill rides of Codonas Amusement Park then calm yourself with walks by the Dee through the green spaces of Duthie Park. Mountains? The Cairngorms National Park is around an hour and 40 minutes away, full of peaks, castles and ski resorts, with famed distilleries like Glenlivet, Glenfiddich and Tomintoul providing welcoming and warming stopoffs in between.
