Date of Visit: May 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Alderney 6 reviews from this member

 This is a lovely site with very very well cared for facilities. We noticed that the facilities have won awards for how they are kept, and I'm not surprised. The wardens put a huge amount of work into it.

It is a beautiful site - my children loved the fact that they could go and watch the rabbits and the animals playing happily around the site itself. This made up for the lack of a decent play area for them.

Its a very safe feeling site, and considering the weekend we were there was a weekend of torrential rain, the site drained well and the rain actually caused little problem.

 Love this site perfect for our first camping trip as a family. The little toilets right beside the tent area is fantastic especially when you have 3 youngsters. Site wardens are really friendly and helpful. Bins emptied and facilities spotless. Shops in village well stocked and there's a toyshop. Walks are well marked and close to site entrance.

 This site was hard to find from the north. It is a super site with plenty of space between outfits. Cheerful helpful wardens keep the place tidy they must put in a lot of work on their flower tubs baskets etc.

Liked the idea that there were loos available when main block was close. The area is quite far from any main shops although paper milk etc was available in the nearby Spar shop.

Reviewer: John&lynn 8 reviews from this member

 Tarland C&CC site up near the Cairngorms in Scotland, this site was chosen as a base to explore this area of Scotland and a excellent site it is
The site is level, grass and hard standings, with six hard standings terraced in a very quiet area of the site and the top two, which we had one of, were in my opinion the best pitches on the site for views and peace and quiet. The facility’s are to the usual standard
Just a short walk 5 mins brings you into Tarland village Square where there is a small spar, a chemist, general store, and two pubs that serve food. The town of Aboyne is six miles from the site, has shops and a swimming pool. The theatre is central to the Aboyne and Deeside Festival in July. The local Highland Games are held here in August.
On site there is a small play area for children well equipped, also there is a recreation room with TV, pool table and magazine and book section,
There is also a few log cabins and static’s on site, but these have their own entrance and do not encroach on the camping and caravan side of the site

Reviewer: 17bramble27 2 reviews from this member

 We have stayed here on various occasions The site wardens are very friendly and very accommodating. We sometimes caravan with other family members and they do try to let us stay close together if they can.

The site is very clean and tidy and the games room is a favourite of my grandaughter. There is some noise from the road along side of the site but at night very few cars use this road.

When looking for somewhere to eat one miserable Sunday evening were recommended by Sue, the site warden, to have a meal in the Commercial Hotel which we can thoroughly recommend.

We will return to Traland.

Reviewer: Neil and lena 51 reviews from this member

 Lovely site set in rural Aberdeenshire , facilities were 100% clean at all times and the site managers were helpful & friendly also wifi on site which has a very fast download speed but also comes at a cost . Tarland has a few shops and a garage plus a good Spar shop for all your daily fresh food + newspapers .

If you want to get away from it all this site ticks all the boxes

Will definitely return 


Date of Visit: August 2008 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Ecosse 6 reviews from this member

 Just back from this site and although we had booked a grass site to allow us to erect a pup tent for kids, we were put onto hardstanding as the grass was very wet in places. The warden did say we could put the tent up on the hardstanding or on a dryish grass spot about 30 metres from our van. Needless to say we didn't.

The toilet block/showers were very clean but slightly lacking in hot water in the morning (8.30ish). The actual site is very nice and quiet but if we stayed here again, we'd request not to be put where we were, which was basically the car park for the tent area. Not overly impressed for the £21 per night charge.

Reviewer: ProfessorB 8 reviews from this member

 Visited here at end of June when the weather was very wet. Much of the site was under water, including us! Grass area has not been available since.
Large modern toilet/shower block on the site but also small toilet/ washroom at the tent end of the site - very clean.
Statics present on the site but not noticeable. Very friendly helpful site wardens. Quiet site - ideal for getting away from it all - we good hear the owls calling each night - local walking. 


Date of Visit: May 2006 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: MalcolmR 35 reviews from this member

 We stayed at this site in the beginning of May for three days. Weather was hot and sunny during the day with a cold breeze but very cold at night. The site was very clean and tidy with a very helpful "commandant " and staff running the place. The toilet/shower / washing up area were kept very clean and fresh to a high standard.

The pitches were on a level ground bit stony a few inches down, pitch seemed a little tight with our 6m x 4m-tunnel tent between each pitch. The site is set amongst pine trees giving good shelter done in a way of allowing plenty of sunlight in. Early morning and evening rabbits are everywhere on the site (so hold your dog firmly ours loves to chase) also the birds are full of song too.

Site has a dog walk area, play area plus football knock about, small games room and TV, a few provisions at the reception.  The village is 5-min walk away nice pub and meals and local shop for a few provisions. Just outside the site entrance is a forest where one can cycle or walk and the dog can run freely. Plenty of nice areas around to cycle and walk the roads were very quiet, also several nice places to go and visit. I found this a quiet and relaxing site a good place to go and chill out; even our son liked it. Thankfully No Midges either, unlike the West Coast
