Lodgehill Campsite Reviews

Old style camping

Exactly what was advertised. The Tipi was fantastic, even in the wind and rain. 10 minutes drive to Banff and gorgeous beaches. Beautiful remote setting. Peace & quiet. A great experience.

Tipi

Amazing weekend away with my family. Great hosts. Amazing views. We are already planning our next trip back ❤️

Great little campsite, secluded, peaceful, with great views

The shower surprised me as it was warm. Location is secluded, but up on a hill with gorgeous views. The sunset was glorious. The communal fire pit was used by a large group from 4pm onwards until past midnight so we went and bought our own one as we didn't bring our stove. They were having a great time, but it meant no one else could use it. So advise bringing your own little stove or fire pit as everyone else had done. Firewood readily available in the woods. Natural toilet was fab. Very clean. We will return here for a 1 or two night stay again for sure. The already erected tipis looked fab! The dogs also loved the big space to chase their ball in.

A nice site, with fine views of the countryside and good facilities at a reasonable price

Very nice views from this site, which is positioned quite high and adjacent to a small forest which provided firewood as well as shelter from the wind. The toilets were very clean & tidy, and glad they are very natural (compostable) toilets which are better for environment. The shower on site was lovely! Warm enough to have a nice shower, with a natural blow dry from the breeze coming through at your feet and above your head! There is a really handy "poly tunnel" shelter in the centre of the site, with a firepit nearby which we cooked on every night. It was lovely, and firewood plentiful from the adjacent forest. The tent itself was roomy, but did leak a wee bit. It did rain quite heavily though! The location of the site was nice, although not close enough to any towns to be walking distance. One thing that might improve the site would be to have some trees on the Eastern border of the site. These would shelter the tents from the wind & rain, which can be quite strong due to the elevated position of the site. Overall experience was really good.

Lovely, peaceful setting

Camping in a peaceful location, beautiful views over the country and close to Portsoy and Banff.

Stunning countryside

Lovely campsite, very peaceful and stunning views day and night. Toilet facilities clean and well supplied. 5 min drive to beautiful Portsoy, 15 min to Macduff and Banff. Very good location. Breathtaking beaches and views.

Lovely campsite

Very nice and pieceful location, with toilet, water and shower. Swings and sand pit for children. Will come back again.

Very peaceful

Only thing we would have appreciated was some instructions with how to find the site.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We very much appreciate it and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Beautiful place

Highly recommend the campsite. It is located within a short driving/cycling distance from local villages and amenities, yet in the country idyll. We had a lovely stay, perfect place to finish a busy day spent surfing and paddleboarding at Sandend. The shower at the campsite was great, we felt refreshed to get rid of all the sand and salt. There is a cute little playground, complete with its own sandpit and swings. It was fun and a good experience for children to get involved with lighting the fire pit, cooking dinner and breakfast. Thank you very much.

Good stay

Good stay, very quiet and clean toilet.

Very pleasant, a bit overpriced for the facilities

Nice location and very spacious. No midges! We were lucky as there were only a handful of people there. If it was busy, I don't think it would be great. Very hard to find a level pitch despite the spaciousness. And only one toilet! The shower was appreciated. Priced in line with other sites that have normal toilets and showers, with dishwashing facilities, so I think a bit overpriced. Recommend only for those who are ok with the facilities.

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate all feedback. Second toilet area has now been approved and will be in place once constructed. Thank you for visiting Lodgehill.

Low key perfection

Lovely warm shower, masses of space, composting toilet and hardly a soul in sight. I wish there were more campsites in Scotland like this one. We will certainly be back.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. Delighted you enjoyed your stay. It was so important to us to keep things back to basic and let kids be maybe away from technology for a bit. Space to breath is so important. Look forward to having you back again. Steven and kay

Peaceful

Very peaceful site. Large pitches and plenty space between each pitch. Shower a definite bonus and totally unexpected. Very friendly owner and fellow campers friendly too. You'll not be disappointed if you book here if rest and relaxation is what you're after.
