  • 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.

What customers say

A ripper campsite, kept tip-top with friendly staff. Reviews rave about clean loos, decent sites, and being close to the beach. On-site extras and new showers are a winner. A bit of building work and some sloping/windy spots were noted. Great for a chilled break!

Powered grass and gravel site

Liked Really loved the clean and extensive facilities. Lovely hot showers and large block for dishes which included a microwave and kettle. Also, a massive plus was the BBQ areas which included a Weber BBQ. Allowed for a responsible and safe outdoor cooking. Each pitch had a water point. Really friendly place!

Walter L.

Powered grass and gravel site

Liked We really enjoyed our visit to Ecclesgreig. The site is well kept, clean and tidy. Toilets and showers are well cared for. The woodland walk is great for those with dogs. Plenty to see and do in the surrounding area from Stonehaven to Montrose and inland to Laurencekirk.

Disliked Would be good to have WiFi.

We’d have liked more brochures/books displayed somewhere with places of interest and places to eat.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Overall enjoyable stay, only negatives are minor persenel preferences.

Ric C.

Powered grass and gravel site

Liked Good location for the stunning beach and small coastal villages. Also a good middle ground for day trips to Aberdeen and Dundee.

Site cleanliness

Play area kept children entertained

Hard to give positive or negative review of customer service as we never had direct contact with any staff members in the week we stayed.

Multiple water stations for convenient access for campers.

Disliked Not allowed BBQ at your pitch. Only allowed to use the allocated BBQ hut which is hoged by the permanent residents or the 2nd area which is multiple wooden benches lined up under a shelter. If you are the social type it's perfect if your like me and would prefer own space with family to eat your out of luck. (This is a negative from a personal point of view rather then a slight on the site as a whole)

There is no WiFi so take a mobile router to keep the kids entertained if the weather turns.

Recommend to friends Visit again

for Short trips: This is more Fun and enjoyable.

Liked In the Nature, Peaceful, Quiet, surrounded by Maize Farms all around, Animals, Sheeps, Cows.

St Cyrus beach nearby and a great Lobster place for the seafood lovers.

Btw: Saturdays: Indian food truck

Disliked Noise because of the Machines working till 8 PM, because of the Harvest.

My Pitch is a bit Uneven.

Bathrooms are a bit Far but manageable

Powered grass and gravel site

Liked The new toilet and shower block are a great addition to the site. Well maintained and spotless. The owners have given great consideration to the needs of all site users.

Disliked Not much to dislike about the site. We were on a gravel pitch and the level was slightly off, even with ramps. However this did not effect us enough to not enjoy our stay.

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.
