About Marina Bay Holiday Park
This camping and touring park is ideally situated along the award winning Lido beach at Peterhead, just a short walk away. Start your day with a coffee from the onsite cafe and spend days swimming and enjoying watersports!
For tents, there are two 2m x 2m non electric grass pitches. Each allows up to six guests, with plenty of space for parking too.
Tourers are catered for with 17 hardstanding pitches, allowing campervans, caravans and motorhomes up to 8m. These pitches enjoy access to optional electric and water hook up, with six people permitted per pitch.
If glamping is more your style, opt for one of the three cosy pods. Each features a double bed with two raised single bunk beds, along with a kitchenette with a kettle, toaster, microwave and fold out table.
The site also offers a luxury glamping cabin, along with a range of lodges.
Evenings can also be spent cooking up a treat on the BBQ, as long as it is raised from the ground. Please note, campfires are not permitted.
Dogs are also welcome on all of the pitches, but not in the glamping units.
Marina Bay Holiday Park is open from 01/04 to 31/12.

Single Axle Caravan - Hardstanding Touring PitchesSep 2023
Touring Scotland and stayed here for just 1 night. Drove past it twice as there are no signs, then ended up in the boating marina. Eventually got to our pitch which was basic but good enough.
I'm glad I didn't have a large caravan because the entrance is very narrow. Staff are super friendly and amenities are ample. It was very well lit up at night, so blinds have to be fully closed if you want good sleep.
The only thing that annoyed me was some moron was washing a motorhome and was plugged into the clean water tap at the Elsan Point, as I was emptying and rinsing my toilet cassette.
It's an okay place, but I won't be staying there again.

Good morning Peter, sorry you didn't enjoy your stay but I'm sure you are enjoying Scotland. It's an amazing place.
Safe travels and enjoy the rest of your holiday - Rhona.
Was a very nice welcome. Shop is well stocked, park is great, views were amazing.
I think there should be a sign in toilet block for people to clean showers after using them and I was disappointed in the cleanliness of showers and there was no hand soap for 2 days.
Site's response
Glad you liked the park, Irene. My apologies again for the hand soap (I put it in the wrong way!)
I will put up a sign see if this helps. Rhona.
Fantastic family holiday - a hidden gem!

Pod - Glamping PodsAug 2023
Great little site. Has everything you need without being big. The bay is perfect for taking the dingy out or paddle boards. The boys loved crabbing every day. There's a play park on site too.
Rhona runs the place, she's ace. Gave us suggested day trips almost every day. We went to many different bays, some fabulous castles and just had the best time.
Supermarkets close by if you need to stock up, Peterhead town is a short walk and a fabulous fish and chip shop in the harbour.
We stayed in a pod, it was so well-equipped that we didn't need any cooking stuff. You need your own bedding and towels but that's it. We took a fire pit and chilled on site most nights, soaking up the sea view. Kids loved it and so did we.
Highly recommend.

Many Thanks, Rhona.
