Peaceful rural spot with great views. Friendly owners, clean, well-equipped facilities (showers, kitchen). Good dog area. Road can be rough, some facilities a bit dated.

Liked Absolutely loved this site and will definitely be returning. The owners were lovely.
It was a lovely laid back site. It had a rustic feel and everything you needed was there. The toilets were lovely and clean with a little dresser for getting ready. The little kitchen had essentials you could borrow in case you had forgotten anything.

Flies!

From the manager: We're sorry we didn't meet your expectations Mr Owen! The approach road is contracted by us to be repaired by our local road repairer. -We're just waiting for the contractor to turn up when the weather conditions are right! It is, in fact, a public road, and the Council should be repairing it, but they prefer to spend available funds elsewhere, so we have to cover the cost of the upkeep to ensure safe access to the caravan park for us to stay in business. 50 tons of road planings will shortly be melted down into the potholes in the dip in the road where the potholes are, that, incidentally, passes over the source tributary that feeds Little Water, which eventually becomes the Ythan River.
Reference flies- If you can let us have a note of their names, we'll have a word with each and every one of them... :)
Good for a stop off

Liked The landscape/ peace and tranquility
Disliked Facilities- OK, but old and worn
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Ah, well, not everyone gets our 1950s traditional campsite feel. The facilities reflect that era, but with modern lighting, hairdryers, and power showers, of course. The lovely large antique sinks, old-style taps, wooden tongue-and-groove doors, etc., are on purpose!
Ref facilities/activities: Other than our World War 1 Pavilion facility, with TV, free book library, table football, pool table, table tennis table, etc, we reserve the outdoor areas for peace and tranquility. Indoors, we leave you to your own activities! Thank you for your honest and personal appraisal of our site and safe travels on-going Sally!
Really super friendly owners who can’t do enough for you.

Relaxed atmosphere, beautiful scenery and a warm welcome!!
Powered grass caravan site
Liked John and Anna couldn't have given us a warmer welcome! Pitches are grass - and very generous! Slight slope on some - but fine with blocks and/or ramps. Beautiful open scenery with fantastic views. Small but very clean shower block and toilet area, with lovely touches such as hairdryer and dressing table in the ladies! A handy campers kitchen - with microwave, kettle, washing machine and tumble drier - as well as the usual point for washing dishes. There is a Pavilion with pool table, table tennis and a borrowing library, also with TV and seating area - ideal for campers. Great place for dogs with an enclosed "toilet" area and access to larger walk round nearby fields. Perfect for those who enjoy peace and quiet, but also great space for children to play. Highly recommended - we'll definitely book again for a longer stay.
