Marina Bay Holiday Park Reviews

Flying visit

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.

Amazing views

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.

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!

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.

Hi Natalie, it was lovely to have you all and hopefully see you again this year. Many Thanks, Rhona.

Excellent stay

First touring caravan stay for us and the people were extremely helpful. The facilities were excellent and surpassed expectations.

Beautiful clean site almost on the beach

What a beautiful site. Rona the warden very friendly and helpful. The site had clean toilet /shower block, laundry and dish-cleaning areas. A short walk to the shops. The bay was peaceful and relaxing... There were some local teenagers but didn't cause any problems. Would recommend.

Not the prettiest location

If you like the smell of fish, a run down town and dog mess all over the beach and lido, book here. We left after one night. Shame, as the owner was a nice lady, but it is a port and a town with nothing open.

Peterhead gem

What a fantastic location by the beach and the marina. Will definitely recommend to anyone and extremely friendly and helpful. My son and I only stayed one night and will definitely be back. Thanks.

It was lovely to have you, Thomas and see you again soon - Rhona.

Excellent location on a sandy beach

Site location excellent with a sandy beach. Facilities excellent apart from no heating so a bit chilly. Very welcoming reception with lots of information. 20 min walk into Peterhead town where there are shops and pubs.

Very good site facilities

First class site, with great facilities.

Lovely campsite!

This site is lovely! Rhona the warden couldn't have been more attentive, she's a lovely host. The site was clean, organised and has everything you would need. The morning view onto the bay was amazing with the perfect sunrise. Would definitely visit again and recommend to everyone! It is also doggy friendly! Thank you for having us :)

Lovely couple, a pleasure to meet you 😊 Glad you enjoyed yourselves and hope to see you again. Safe travels! Rhona

Night away

We actually live locally in Peterhead but it was very nice just to get away from the house for a night. Facilities are nice and very clean. It's a lovely beach so nice if you have pets for walks.

A pleasure to have you xx

Lovely site!

Great wee spot, right on the marina. The pods are the perfect alternative to hauling a tent around. We all had a great night sleep, kids in bunks and us in a very comfy king size bed.

Many Thanks

Lovely site

Lovely site with a great view to the sea. Pitches has plenty of space and staff were very helpful. Facilities are good and kept clean.

Hope to see you again. Rhona

Lovely site close to beautiful beach

What a great site close to beach. Just need a long hose for water, could benefit from installing a motor home service point, staff were friendly and facilities clean and everything you need.

Site's response

We now have a long hose, thanks for the advice Robert. Rhona

Stunning location

Stunning views. Close to town centre, toilets were very clean and shop online was good.

Lovely location but not for tents

Holiday park was situated in a lovely location right on the beach with easy walks into town. Staff onsite were very friendly and helpful. Shop was well stocked and kids loved what was available. Toilet/shower block always kept very clean. My only criticism would be that it doesn't seem suited to campers, there doesn't seem any space to accommodate tents and we were place on a corner at the end of the site next to the road through the site. Our tent was also right next to a public path that links the beach to the town and this is quite a busy walkway. Aside from that we did have a lovely break and it was nice to explore the area spending time at Slains Castle and Aden Country Park, recommended by staff at the site.

Site's response

Thanks Lyndsey and your lovely family. We are looking into making more tent friendly sites next year, as a camper myself we are aware of this. Thanks so much for your lovely review and hope to see you again next year. Rhona

Great sea view, otherwise don't bother

Totally disappointed with the site. The Chemical Disposal Point locked and no one had the code, then when it did get open, I thought it was absolutely disgusting with poor cleaning. Showers and toilets were okay. Few people on the site had fires going and were constantly chopping wood with an axe, had to keep doors and windows closed due to being smoked out, and very loud late into the evening.

Excellent little site

Loved staying here and visiting the beautiful Cruden Bay. Marina Bay site is very clean and well kept and the manager was friendly and helpful. Easy walk into Peterhead to get food and drink. We had a lovely stay, thank you.

Good views!

Busy campsite, probably better for motorhomes than tents (which it isn't really set up for). However, there were good facilities, good service and we enjoyed the view over the bay.

Excellent Service from Paul

A great stop off on the NE250. Great cafe at the Marine Centre. Friendly and well maintained Park. Paul is very helpful and welcoming. He helped us with a problem with our gas twice! A real gem..

Great site

Great views and excellent staff. Site always kept clean and warden always available.

Marina Bay Holiday Park Peterhead

Stayed here for 5 nights in April 2022. Site warden George was great and the site location was very nice, right in the bay next to the lovely beach and close to Peterhead. Free wi-fi access is always a bonus. There was a nice play area for the kids and a small onsite shop (not much in stock though, maybe a little early in the season). The downside was the toilet/shower facilities - there's more pressure in our motorhome shower that the showers on offer, and the toilets/showers are in need of an overhaul. £3 allowance per day for electricity included in the daily charge, any thing over needs to be paid for.

Fantastic campsite

We stayed here for one night in our campervan and had a stunning view over the Marina. The site was peaceful and clean. Located close to the town centre. We actually walked into the town and had a pub supper. The toilets are clean and warm and the warden is very helpful and friendly. There is a great play park and we noticed some cool looking glamping pods on the site.
