  • 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.

1 bedroom cabin (hot tub)

Liked: Absolutely Loved everything about the whole stay! The Pod was Amazing, so clean & was equipped with everything you needed & Loved the Hot Tub 😁 The Site was lovely, so peaceful & relaxing & all the guests we spoke to were very friendly! We had a walk to the Beach which was only a 10 minute walk & was very nice & had a refreshment in the local pub beer garden & got some shopping from the Morrisons next door. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Powered grass and gravel site

Liked: Well presented, smaller campsite mostly catering to statics. Very quiet and peaceful and just a short drive to Montrose or Lunan Bay.

Disliked: Touring pitches on a slight incline, but nothing major.

Powered grass site

Liked: Terrific wee holiday park for families with young kids, and grown ups alike. Such friendly regulars, the staff bright and bubbly, and the site well marked out. The kids loved the play area and the bbq area would've been ideal if we'd stayed longer - I'd have liked to join the regulars for their 4pm beers in the bbq area if we'd been there :) Highly recommend and the kids have told us we HAVE to come back again

Disliked: Only reason I've not gone for 5 stars is on account of someone leaving some mess/rubbish behind themselves in the shower rooms, which isn't really down to those that run and maintain the site, but others staying there. Perhaps cleaning more regularly than once a day would help address things like this though

Liked: Sehr sauberer und gepflegter Campingplatz. Sanitäre Einrichtungen sind in die Jahre gekommen aber sehr sauber.

Disliked: Hatten Pitch Nr. 9 ziemlich weit ab vom allem, sprich zu den sanitären Einrichtungen und zum Geschirr spülen mussten wir ca. 200m laufen

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.
