Firstly, can I say how difficult it is to contact anyone re the site. I completed an online enquiry form (the link is available via UKCampsite.co.uk); this is an Aberdeenshire Council form. No one got back to me re this despite me leaving my mobile number and email address. Undaunted, I decided to try the telephone number advertised via the Council site, and eventually got through to the answering machine.
I had to ring a couple of times before anyone returned my call, and even then I never spoke to anyone personally, there was a message left on my voicemail re the booking enquiry.
I am always loathe to turn up at a site without pre-booking a pitch, especially with young children to think of, and I would suggest that you persevere in contacting the warden as, even towards the end of the season in September the site was very busy and there were only a few pitches for tourers left. That being said, they did have a note of our booking and were expecting us.
The site is situated a stone's throw from the beach, which, when the tide is out, is a rock pool delight; there is a sandy strip of beach further up and a lovely walk along to the harbour at Stonehaven.
The site itself is a mixture of touring pitches, camping pitches and statics. Pitches are hardstanding with grassy areas to the side for an awning. The pitches were very spacious allowing plenty room between you and the next pitch.
The Park is well sign posted through Stonehaven, until you turn off the main road and head down to the promenade. When you reach a t-junction, with the sea directly in front of you, you can see a caravan park on the right hand side, mainly statics. This is not Queen Elizabeth site. We turned into this site by mistake, and the guys on this site told us that at least a couple of caravans do this a week - this in itself is not so bad but there is absolutely no turning room in the site for tourers to exit, we eventually had to unhitch the van and turn it manually to exit the site and get back on to the main road.
It is not sign posted that you need to turn to the left at the t-junction to get to the Queen Elizabeth site - this could have been better and might stop the confusion.
The site itself is actually very pleasant - facilities are very clean (although a bit '1970's'), but totally functional, plenty of hot water, individual shower cubicles with a stool and hook (push button shower but the length of time the spray stayed on was quite long).
There are 2 toilet/shower blocks, entry to which is with a 5 or 6 digit 'code' (depending where you are on the site), which is kind of frustrating when you have kids and they want to be independent and go to the loo themselves, but you may need to accompany them to make sure that the code is entered correctly.
Our kids (aged 11 & 9), just loved the park and skate park adjacent to the main site and spent most of the time we were at the site on their scooters or bikes at the play park.
We heard no noise from the playpark itself after dark, unlike some of the previous reviews, unlike the noise from our fellow caravanners (more of that in a minute).
There is also the heated outdoor swimming pool right next door, this was the last weekend of the season for the pool, but it looked fantastic and we will definitely take a visit there next summer.
All the previous comments about the Fish and Chip shop, ice cream parlour, etc are all true, very busy and delicious, well recommended. There is a good sized Co-Op 10 mins away and we had a great Indian take away from the Nu-Spice on the High Street.
This is a cracking wee site in a fantastic location, we will definitely be back next season, although we are led to believe that this is the last year that the Council is to operate the site and that it has been taken over by a private company.
It is already a 'Certified Site'. This may well mean an improvement to the general facilities, but really, nothing could be done to improve upon the location, fantastic place to visit and well worth returning to.
Just back from a long weekend to Stonehaven and looking forward to going back. We had excellent weather and really nice wardens!
Only a few strides from the beach with a couple of miles of sand, excellent walk over to the Harbour which has many bistro style pubs and fish bars. 2 minutes walk to the Bay chipper along the prom, well worth a visit and next to Aunt Bettys ice cream shop, the kids loved there!
There is the local pool 3 minutes walk and outdoor pool next door although not open until the end of May, looks good though! Just across from the pool is a very large park, the kids were never away from it. There is a CO-OP 5 minutes walk away and quite large with main shopping square a further 2 minutes walk.
Not much on site, the usual shower blocks, did not use the laundry, plenty of space on the pitches.
Now for the downsides, the site is along the prom and when busy very difficult to swing the van round when leaving, the cars were parked everywhere and people trying to get round the corner.
The power kept tripping every night between 8-10pm and around 9-10am in the morning due to the power consumption, the warden was very happy to reset but we felt sorry that he was up and down around 20 times in 1 evening to reset the breakers, the council should really get that checked out.
All in all very nice break and be back soon thanks to the service of the wardens!
Excellent Park situated on the edge of town next to the sea and the heated outdoor swimming pool. A short walk away to the centre with plenty of shops and pubs & restaurants, plenty to do and a large supermarket close by. The site is not too big but well maintained and excellent shower facilities with drying room.
Very nice camp site, clean toilet block and right on the beach. Make sure you don't pitch too close the the park as the local youths are out quite late at the weekend. Noise was not that bad, just chatting. Local Auntie Betty's cones are amazing! You park you car right next to your tent which is real handy.
Can be a bit windy at times, but only when putting up and taking the tent down!
Visited this site for 1 night with friends. We were allocated pitches right behind the reception block which was very handy as the warden let us inflate our airbeds in the reception area!
Tents are pitched very close together though! OK when you are with friends but it would have been a bit intrusive if you were next to strangers! Good toilet and shower facilities but a bit shabby.
Site very close to beach and open air pool which was great! We were woken in the middle of the night by the police slamming into the barrier for some inexplicable reason. They smashed the light off their vehicle which was very loud and also wakened all the seagulls! The warden was not pleased either!
Stonehaven is a lovely wee town - we enjoyed a walk on the Sunday to Dunottar Castle in glorious sunshine, would definitely recommend. Don't miss the deep fried Mars Bars too - you have to try!
Just returned from Stonehaven Queen Elizabeth camping and caravan park just had to write this review. The park was fantastic and the lady and gent who looked after it do a wonderful job and the council are very lucky to have them. Very clean and comfortable for our stay. Stonehaven has great eating places Mollys bar great meals!girls work very hard. Pubs great at harbour and the Star Bar loved it, locals made you very welcome and had great fun. Beach and harbour beautiful thank you Stonehaven WE WILL BE BACK
Back from our holiday which included 2 days camping at this site. This was my first time camping so I don't have any other sites to compare to.
It was chucking it down with rain when we arrived. Luckily the campsite warden was in the office and let us shelter there before pitching our tent. The tent site wasn't terribly busy but some areas had become marshy due to the rain. This affected area was located just behind the office / prefab so be warned.
The site wasn't very busy so we had plenty of room to pitch our two man tent and to set up our camping chairs. According to the warden, the rule of thumb for pitches is that guy ropes don't cross.
Toilets are extremely clean and there always seemed to be a steady supply of toilet paper and soap. The toilets were cleaned at night time and first thing in the morning. A hardy caravanner remarked to me that they were some of the cleanest toilets she had encountered on a campsite. The showers are a bit weak but very clean and suitable for a quick wash. The toilets were never closed during cleaning times and the doors were propped open.
As mentioned in other reviews, the tent area is located very close to a toilet block (which has a keypad entry) and washing up bit. The two sinks are very big but I could see queues emerging during busy times.
The wardens (a married couple plus Meg the dog!) were lovely people and quite chatty. They recommended some walks to us and generally passed the time of day. The office is open from 9am-7pm with an hour off for lunch and at least one of them is always in the office or nearby. They tended to walk the dog at night and their presence was there till roughly 10.30pm (the time asked by the official rules for campsite users to quieten down).
The amusement arcade is two minutes walk away and has a pool table (50p a game), 10p and 2p slots and the usual puggy machines. Next door is Auntie Betty's Wee Treat Shop which makes the best ice cream in the world. Two massive scoops of ice cream, marshmallows, chocolate buttons, two wafers and a chocolate flake for £3. Bargain! The Bay chippy next door is good value too. The portion in a fish supper is extremely generous and a bargain for £6. There is a posh cafe along the road and it's a tad expensive for what you get. Still, it's the only sit in establishment nearby so they probably cash in on that.
The leisure centre with massive play park and outdoor pool is next door to the campsite. Somerfield supermarket is ten minutes walk up the road as well as the 24 hour Asda which is extremely big with a lot of choice.
Not a bad site for a couple of days stay and a novice camper like myself. It's near the sea so the sea wind can make it a bit chilly at night. However, there's some lovely walks and views nearby and the town centre of Stonehaven is very handy. Good value for £15 for two nights and a council run site.
Just got back from this site and had a great time. The site itself is only a few minutes from the beach / indoor pool / outdoor saltwater pool / kids playground / chippy / tennis courts and a lovely shop that sells home-made ice cream - 10 mins takes you into Stonhaven itself past a Somerfield. There isnt a playpark on the site as its right next to a really good one.
The site itself is quite small - the tent bit is at the very front next to the reception and boy can they ram as many tents on as possible! No 6 metre rule here! And they were still turning folk away all day! But its near one of the toilet buildings so that was good - this building was old (and cleaned twice a day) but still ended up a mess (always take your own loo roll as there never is any!) Only about 6 loos and the locks didnt work or the loo seats were loose (or missing) 6 showers in the ladies - nice and hot but not powerful, a sink inside for washing clothes and only 2 sinks outside for pot washing. The other toilet block at the other end of the site had loads more loos but only 3 showers (but nicer ones) - this is where the launderette is too (£1 per machine)
After all it was only £10 per night for our tent and 4 people so it was a bargain but the facilities do need upgrading. Also a timetable for when the loos were shut for cleaning would have helped.
It did get noisy at night - boy racers going up the hill one night and a party of girls drinking until 4am was a bit much but you cant help what other campers do - mind you the warden could have done more to help but he just seem to vanish - we had cars going in and out at all hours.
All in all it was a good site for the money but could do with more warden appearances at night time (but he was very helpful when our air beds gave up and he told us about the 24 hour Asda 7 miles up the road)
We like this site as is a lovely place and it is great for commuting to and from Aberdeen. The previous message did not relate to anything that we have experienced but this may have been because the site is was only open until October so obviously the toilets and showers would have been locked off and that would be why there was no warden.
I arrived late - there was no warden, so I toured the site and pitched camp what looked to be a good patch.
The early evening was noisy with youths shouting and cussing nearby, the toilet block was shabby and largely locked - all the loos and showers were not accessible, only one laundry sink (but it did have hot water!). In the morning the story was the same - I would think the site would be heaving in the summer - but at the end of October it was a bit like the Marie Celeste!
