What customers say

This peaceful campsite offers lovely rural views and a warm welcome from friendly, attentive owners. Facilities are generally very clean and well-maintained, including a popular games room and a handy "borrow room." Pitches are spacious, and the enclosed dog field is a big plus for many visitors. While some noted minor issues with Wi-Fi and the access road, the overall consensus is a well-kept, great-value site highly recommended for its tranquil vibe and helpful hosts.

Vicky C.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Friendly couple, happy to help with whatever they could. Plenty of space on the pitch. Bathrooms were spotlessly clean at all times.
Small kitchen was handy with kettle and hot running water.
During our stay the storm had wiped out wifi but John was working hard to repair and kept us informed throughout.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Vicky, thank you for your kind comments, and we're glad you enjoyed your stay- you'll be pleased to know the wifi is working well again! As we had to buy new equipment, we took the opportunity to upgrade to a more powerful kit, which offers a stronger signal to all parts of the site. We're still limited to the tp uplink speeds to the local mobile mast, of course, but it is improving all the time. We're now ready for 6G when it becomes available :)

Scott W.

Wee Bivvy primitive grass tent campsite (two person)

Liked Good location. Loved having the campers kitchen to wash up. The toilets and shower blocks were spotlessly clean, and cleaned regularly. Great quiet location. There is a borrow room full of things you might need on a camping trip. In my rush to leave I left my 2 camping chairs behind! So this was great to pinch two chairs. I was also supplied with some clean towels after I’d realised I left mine at home. John was very friendly and helpful. The place just had a really nice friendly vibe. I will definitely go back if I find myself in that location again.

Liked Rezension: 10/10 – Ein perfekter Campingplatz für Ruhesuchende und Naturfreunde

Der Campingplatz punktet auf ganzer Linie – schon die Lage ist ein Traum: ruhig, naturnah und mit weitem Blick über grüne Hügel. Die große Wiese bietet reichlich Platz – ob für Zelte oder Caravans, hier steht niemand dicht gedrängt. Man hat wirklich Raum zum Durchatmen.
Die Sanitäranlagen sind außergewöhnlich sauber und mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Hier merkt man, dass den Betreibern das Wohl ihrer Gäste am Herzen liegt. Besonders praktisch: der gemütliche Aufenthaltsraum, ideal bei schlechtem Wetter oder einfach zum Zusammensitzen am Abend.
Was den Aufenthalt rund macht, sind die Gastgeber: herzlich, aufmerksam und jederzeit hilfsbereit – ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen.
Ein Platz, den man am liebsten behalten würde, um ihn nicht mit zu vielen anderen teilen zu müssen. Klare Empfehlung.

Disliked WLAN leider sehr schwach

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Vielen Dank für Ihre nette Bewertung, wir freuen uns sehr darüber!
Wir möchten, dass unsere Gäste ihren Aufenthalt genießen und mit schönen Erinnerungen abreisen! Ihre Kommentare bedeuten uns sehr viel!

Das WLAN wurde nach den Sturmschäden repariert und gleichzeitig auf ein deutlich stärkeres Signal und eine höhere Nutzerkapazität aufgerüstet! kind regards J&A

Wee Bivvy primitive grass tent campsite (two person)

Liked Having the games/tv/relaxation room. The shower was powerful and had lots of space to move around in, and lots of hooks for clothing too. Also, there was a hairdryer provided. The kitchen had a toaster, kettle and microwave which was great.

The host, Anna was extremely helpful and friendly, and the campsite has a lovely relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It was also great having the beautiful jewellery that Anna had made for sale.

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.
