Set in the heart of rural Aberdeenshire this campsite is a tent-campers retreat, nestled in the tranquil Ythan Valley, surrounded by rolling farm land and beautifully ‘large’ skies.
You are guaranteed a warm welcome from the family owners, and this small hide-away site limits the number of pitches to ensure that a quiet, relaxing atmosphere is maintained.
Special treats:
You can order home-made organic bread to be warm and ready for you in the morning, and free range eggs are available from the family’s own happy, healthy hens & ducks!
Simple tasty breakfasts can be delivered to your tent, or served under the canopy in the sheltered courtyard.
The toilets, washing & shower facilities are in the newly built and much admired, ‘back-to- nature' inspired Wash House.
There is also a warm water Bush Shower offering a second shower outdoors, hidden to protect your modesty!
Maintaining a peaceful environment for relaxation is paramount, so the number of people and number of pitches are kept to a minimum, therefore advance booking is essential to make sure there is a pitch available
