Date of Visit: August 2013 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Kevinboy 10 reviews from this member

 Excellent site with the usual CC amenities and cant fault the site. The open air swimming pool is a bonus in the summer time and has a late night swim with disco on a Weds night 10-12 and very busy

First time we have managed to get into the new Stonehaven park since the CC took over, this used to be a favoured site of our group but seems to have been taken over by the maturer caravanner and camper vans with some occupants overheard saying 'the only problem with this site is the kids' that says a lot and why some local sites have been spoiled by this attitude and now unofficially adult only sites. Overall excellent and wanted to stay longer but could not due to being extremely busy 


Date of Visit: July 2013 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Squeky 11 reviews from this member

 We had been looking forward to visiting this new site but have to say now we have we are slightly disappointed. For us it has the following Pros and cons:

Pros:

Excellent wardens who were always seen and working hard.

Facilities are top class and scrupulously clean.

Large pitches.

Super location right next to the sea, open air swimming pool and chip shop.

Cons:

Very disappointed that people choose to walk on our pitch and look in windows of Motorhome whilst we were in it. This happened quite a few times, thought it was extremely rude and not what we would expect on club sites.

Quite a noisy site.

Not sure why there are static caravans on a club site.

This site for us did not have the usual caravan club site feel.

 Wow! The CC have turned a previously run down site into something pretty wonderful. Well worth a visit for anyone looking to visit beautiful Aberdeenshire. Large, level pitches, state of the art toilet block, the smell of the sea in the air. Perfect! Town of Stonehaven has some small shops and a smallish supermarket. But Aberdeen isn't far for people with a thirst for retail therapy! Local attractions like Dunottar Castle and the Lewis Grassic Gibbon Centre are highly recommended.

 Just back from a 3 night stay at the Stonehaven site, one that we had looked forward to for ages. This site had been one of our favourites prior to its refurbishment by the Club and we were slightly anxious that the site would be changed too much from the original charm and character that we loved - not so, the Club have done an amazing job of refurbishment. Huge hardstanding pitches, fantastic facilities block, exceptionally friendly and helpful wardens. The locations still remains second to non, and we can't wait to return there later in July. Read my earlier review to get a sense of the surroundings, and add this to what is now a modern state of the art site, and you'll get a sense of just how fantastic this location is

Reviewer: Wattsy280 3 reviews from this member

 We popped in to see how things were progressing and the site is looking fab already! It's has been totally levelled and each hardstanding pitch is flat as a pancake. The new main building looks almost completed and so can't wait to stay here!

It loos like the site will be ready to open n the next couple of months and is being run by c&cc I think

Reviewer: Bobmel

 Today (30/10/12) the bulldozers arrived and the last of the statics are being uplifted. Work has started in earnest to upgrade and redesign the site. The Caravan club are spending a lot of money to bring this site up to standard. I would imagine once completed booking would be advisable because it will be even more popular than it is now. N. B. Poor ratings given because there is no n/a in this part of the review process. The site is closed and being totally refurbished. 


Date of Visit: September 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Debbie65 31 reviews from this member

 Look, it's easy to knock this site, I totally agree with some of the comments made by previous reviewers. This site's facilities are a wee bit dated, yes. However, this is my second time reviewing this site and my opinion has not changed one bit, this is quite frankly one of the best sites we have ever stayed at.

20 paces from a beautiful beach. The most amazing board walk trail along to the harbour. Indoor pool, and the historically jaw dropping outdoor pool right on your doorstep. Generous pitches - ok, we stayed at the end of the season and it was relatively quiet. The warden did say that it had been a very busy summer despite the poor weather, so I guess when the site was full it might not seem as generous.

The toilet blocks are spotless, which is more than can be said for some more modern blocks on other sites we have been to. If you visit this site before it is renovated by the organisation who has taken it over, take the chance to visit the art deco heaven that is the 'top' block - I guarantee you will not experience a more effective shower set up than the ones in this block - space for a shower and space to get changed without having to navigate your way through water on the floor, a bench, hooks - character and so what if you've to push a button a few times, the showers are free, hot and interesting.

We love this site and the warden and the sound of the gulls in the morning, the smell of the sea in the evening, the joyous noise and laughter coming from the open air pool, the fish and chips and the experience of being somewhere that does not look and feel like every other site you visit.

The architectural beauty of the site and surroundings more than makes up for the odd bits of grass cuttings that are left lying about. Love this site and can't wait to go back before the end of September. Please, please 'organisation that has taken over this site and which we are members of', don't make too many changes and remove the quirky, different and unique aspects of this site that make it so special. 


Date of Visit: August 2012 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Debzstuart 3 reviews from this member

 I stayed here for 4 nights last year after originally just turning up and asking for a 3 night stay which was no problem at all to the friendly warden, but my daughter enjoyed the surrounding area that much we asked for an extra night, , yes the toilet blocks may have been dated and it was up for sale so it was obvious that the council would not be spending any money on it, but they were certainly clean and the top block was huge and well set out. The blocks had character about them not something you get with newer modern ones (which arent always what there made out to be). The warden was very friendly and helpful during our stay, we pitched our tent in the corner closest to the pool and site entrance and found it very peaceful and had no trouble from anyone passing by at night. There was no need for children's play area on site as there is a perfectly good one beside the pool just yards away.

This year 2013 I tried to phone and book a place for my tent but being a non member to the newly bought cc site I was informed I had to phone the site direct but could not do so until it opened in July. So when the time came to phone I did and was told it was fully booked months before and I wouldn't get a space till middle of September which I found very disappointing.

Therefore we camped elsewhere and decided that this once great site would be visited no more, however on a day trip to the pool on one of the days I had requested to stay I had a good look over the new fence to the site and could see that yes there was plenty space available on the grass for a small tent, the new block in the middle that they have built may look nice elsewhere it has made the site lose its charm and character.

Im sure the new wardens would be very helpful but I think the cc just want to have caravans here now and not interested in catering for tents altough they say they have 8 pitches for them.

Once a happy camper at this site. But not now with the changes and new ownership.

I would rate this site based on last years stay before the cc took it over. 


Date of Visit: June 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Garioch 2 reviews from this member

 Had a short 3 day break here. Site is still run by Aberdeenshire Council although I believe it is up for sale.

In very good location near beach and 2 swimming pools (outdoor & indoor) both of which are good. Beach a bit stony but there is some sand.

As one other review said the grass cuttings are not collected making it a bit untidy. There is a bizarre barrier at the gate which is 1. 8m high allowing most small cars to pass under. It's not locked but the warden gets annoyed if you open it yourself.

Toilets are old (art deco 50s style) but reasonably clean, top block is more spacious.

There isn't a child play area on site but there's one nearby on the far side of the swimming pool.

I have 2 complaints. Firstly was the noise caused by an unbelievable number of dogs. It seemed that everyone had at least 1 dog, the tent next to us had 5 dogs one of which had to be chased out of our caravan. If you like being wakened by yapping and barking at 6am then this is the site for you.

My second complaint was the way we were crammed in. There are numbered pitches but despite this the warden squeezed a tent into the space between us and the next pitch so that the tent could be beside their friends. We were asked to move our car to make room. This would not happen on a club site as there are minimum separation distances due to fire safety, does this not apply to a council run site?

We enjoyed Stonehaven very much but won't be coming back to this site. 


Date of Visit: April 2012 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Val0712 33 reviews from this member

 Visited this site for 1 night at the end of April. This area had been hit by heavy rain for about 3wks previous to our visit and the whole site was very water logged.

The Warden told us it took 4 people to push a campervan out the previous day. The warden ken lives in a static on site and was always on hand if help was needed.

The site has a 3star rating but we found it hard to know why? There doesn't seem to be any level pitches, the toilets and shower blocks (which there are 2 of) are very tired and very dated.

The grass had been cut but not collected so made for a very messy site!

Stonehaven itself is a nice little coastal town with a nice variety of shops. The site is near the beech and next to an outdoor heated swimming pool and park. It has a good harbour area with a museum and a few pubs/restaurants. The town is only a 5-10 min walk from the site.

We ate at the tandoori heaven and it was superb! Also great ice-cream shop near by called aunt bettys well worth a visit.

All in all a nice night away but wont be returning to this site
