About the site

Enjoy this rural five-acre campsite, set 550 feet above sea level, with a great throwback vibe reminiscent of the 1950s and 60s. It's ideal for exploring the Buchan area, Banff, McDuff, Ellon, Turriff, Peterhead, and Fraserburgh, all of which are just 20-25 minutes away. Choose from non-electric bivvy grass pitches for tents, or spacious 12m well-drained grass pitches with a 16 amp electric hook up, and water hook up, suitable for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, family tents, and trailer or rooftop tents. Onsite, facilities include free site-wide WiFi, a launderette, a cosy games room, and a secure two-acre dog exercise field. Adventure seekers are also well placed to tackle the North Sea Cycle Route, directly accessible from the site, and climb the nearest mountain, Bennachie, rising to the height of 1732 feet, before tackling the Cairngorms away in the distance. Be sure to explore the nearby coast, home to incredible beaches to the East, where you can spot both seals and dolphins, and it is ideal for birdwatching. The coast also features rocky coves and cliffs to the North. Dogs are welcome onsite, provided they are kept on a lead or under control (unless in the designated dog exercise area, where they can run wild!). BBQs are permitted. Please ensure they are raised off the ground and supervised by an adult. Fires in fire pits are permitted with the owner's permission.
