Hillside Meadows

4 units · Motorhomes, Tents5 acres · Fraserburgh, Scotland

If you wish to visit the north-east of Scotland with sandy and rocky beaches, magnificent cliffs, old lighthouses and famous whisky distilleries, Hillside Meadows is the place to stay. You can enjoy near wild camping experience provided by hosts Michal and Gosia, who are developing on site fully off-grid permaculture family farm. Don't be surprised to be welcomed to your temporary home by a wired-haired dachshund Dubby or woken up in the morning by Pablo the Cockrell. There are usually fresh quail and hen eggs available. The site is handily located just off the A981 Strichen-Memsie road. It makes the site easily accessible for camper vans and caravans owners. There might be some noise from passing traffic, but it’s hardly a distraction from your surroundings, rolling hills, open fields and woodlands. It goes without saying that our 5-acres site is ideal for self-sufficient campers. There are just a handful of pitches, well distanced from each other, tucked among the high grass meadows, which gives campers plenty of space and sense of privacy. Park up or pitch your tent. Then you can just relax and concentrate on the important stuff – like getting that campfire going! The basic facilities, including composting toilet and tap water (cold), are available on site if needed. Just 3 miles away from our site lies Fraserburgh, a little coastal town with a sandy beach, Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, as well as a range of convenience stores, shops, cafés, restaurants and bars. Within 5 miles from our site, you'll also find Waters of Philorth Nature Reserve, New Aberdour beach, Rattray old lighthouse, Strichen stone circle, Aden Country Park and more.

Campsites with private bathrooms near Aberdeenshire guide

Overview

Travellers making their way to the fertile northeastern corner of Scotland are rewarded with beautiful stretches of coastline, charming fishing villages, rugged cliffs, ancient castles, historic whisky distilleries and more. Several long-distance walking routes travel through Aberdeenshire, including the Deeside Way and the Aberdeenshire Coastal Trail, which forms part of the multi-country North Sea Trail. Wildlife lovers can spot dolphins in the Moray, puffins in the cliffs and red deer in the woodlands. While most campers explore Aberdeenshire in the sunny summer months, when days are long, a visit in the dark, chilly winter has the appeal of potentially spotting the northern lights.

Where to go

Aberdeen

Most likely your starting point for Aberdeenshire adventures, Scotland’s third-largest city is best-known for its gleaming granite buildings and easy access to beaches and coastline. In recent years, it’s also become a hub for street art, thanks to the annual NuArt festival, imported from twin city, Stavanger, just over the North Sea. Camping options around the city include well-maintained caravan parks and glamping pods.

Banchory

Lying on the doorstep of Cairngorms National Park, Banchory offers plenty of opportunities for hiking and biking up hills and through forests. The town is famed for the Falls of Feugh, which provide a spectacular sight when salmon return to swim upstream in the fast-flowing waters of the River Dee and River Don. Camping options include small, friendly sites in the valley of the Feugh.

Ballater

In the heart of the Royal Deeside, and within Cairngorms National Park, Ballater is famed for Balmoral Castle (summer getaway for the Royals) and its opportunities for hiking, skiing and climbing Lochnagar, one of Scotland’s most popular Munros (mountains over 3,000 feet tall). Visitors can set up camp in a quiet site close to the village centre.

Banff

Perched on the north coast, Banff has a well-preserved historic town centre and access to sandy beaches, including Inverboyndie Beach, one of the best places in Scotland to go surfing. Your options here include setting up camp next to the beach. From here, walkers can set out along the 44-mile (70-kilometre) Moray Firth Coastal Trail.

Stonehaven

Just south of Aberdeen, the coastal town of Stonehaven has a bustling working harbour and is gateway to the dramatic ruins of Dunnottar Castle, perched on high cliffs two miles south of town. Nearby camping options include a site next to the art deco Stonehaven Open Air Pool, as well as camping pods and lodges with hot tubs.
