Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The park was nice and peaceful

Disliked: The toilet and shower facilities were absolutely gross and probably the worst I have encountered in 15 weeks of travel though Ireland and Scotland. They are in desperate need of an upgrade, even just a coat of paint and new grout would help. Every single surface is filthy, the floors are disgusting with hair and dirt everywhere, the showers are covered in mould, the paintwork is peeling and the basins stained, and they smell terrible. Used toilet paper and someone’s dirty sock left on the floor for the two days I stayed. So dirty I couldn’t bring myself to shower! Also the bin area has rubbish all around it where the patrons have missed the bins, some of it was so old it was rotting

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Plenty of space between good level pitches. Water available nearby. Barbecue area and a good play park for kiddies. Toilet block spotlessly clean and fresh smelling.

Disliked: No signs for waste water disposal. Some say the toilet blocks are old and run down, but if it's clean I'm happy.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Ruhig und gut ausgestattet. Schon etwas älterer Campingplatz, aber. Gut erhalten. Dusch- und Sanitäreinrichtungen etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber trotzdem gut in Schuss. Familienfreundlich, mit Spielplatz, auch etwas in die die Jahre gekommen, aber viel Platz zum Austoben.. Gut zu Fuß den nächstgelegenen Ort erreichbar.

Disliked: Etwas abgelegen. Dusch- und Sanitäreinrichtungen etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

Local attractions

Those of you who rate cycling, walking and mountain biking highly might want to head to the landscapes around Aboyne (40 minutes’ drive). In the same direction, visit Balmoral Castle (an hour), the Queen’s Scottish residence. A trip to these two parts will take you through both Donside and Deeside. Keeping with the historical theme, Haddo House (35 minutes) frequently hosts theatrical productions from Prince Edward. However, if it’s castles you’re intent on finding first, perhaps a stroll around Castle Fraser (10 minutes), Drum Castle (25 minutes) or Corse Castle (half an hour)? In Aberdeen, there’s excitement in a few different forms. Historical places include The Gordon Highlanders Museum (25 minutes), the Girdle Ness Lighthouse (40 minutes) and Blairs Museum (25 minutes), while entertainment comes in the form of the Jump In Adventure Parks: Aberdeen (35 minutes) and the seafront amusements.
