Glamping near Stonehaven

·

Lying along the Aberdeenshire coast, Stonehaven is a pretty town with a bustling working harbour. Most travellers making the trip here are headed for the dramatic ruins of Dunnottar Castle, perched on high cliffs two miles south of town. In Stonehaven itself, by the quayside, the Stonehaven Tolbooth Museum is a former courthouse and jail with a fascinating history. Bring your swimming gear for a dip in the huge art deco-style Stonehaven Open Air Pool, Britain’s northernmost lido, and make time for a trip to the nearby RSPB Fowlsheugh reserve, where the cliffs are packed with 130,000 breeding seabirds in the spring and summer.

Bowie Wood

14. Bowie Wood

146km from Stonehaven · 1 unit
Escape to the Woods Tucked away amongst the trees at Bowie Wood, our spacious 6m bell tent is a secluded woodland retreat designed for slowing down, switching off and reconnecting with nature. Set on its own raised timber platform, the tent looks out into the woodland, with a covered awning creating a sheltered spot to sit outside with your morning coffee or simply listen to the forest around you. Inside, natural coir flooring, a king-size bed and the warmth of a wood-burning stove create a cosy retreat whatever the Scottish weather decides to do. This isn't a manicured campsite. You're staying within our woodland, surrounded by mature trees, mossy ground, ferns and wildlife. Red squirrels, roe deer, woodpeckers, buzzards and bats are all visitors to Bowie Wood, and after dark the woodland becomes wonderfully peaceful. Follow the woodchip path back to your tent, light the stove, make a hot chocolate and settle in for the evening. On clear nights, step outside and look up — away from the bright lights of town, the woodland is a beautiful place for stargazing. Although it feels hidden away, Bowie Wood is close to Stirling and makes a wonderful base for exploring central Scotland, from Stirling Castle and Bannockburn to the Ochil Hills, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs. Bowie Wood is an ongoing rewilding project, where we’re working to restore and enhance the woodland while allowing nature to flourish. You may notice areas of ongoing work around the wider site as we continue to improve habitats, paths and facilities. We aim to keep any disruption to guests to a minimum. Come here for the quiet, the trees and the chance to experience something a little different. Slow down. Light the fire. Sleep amongst the trees.

Stonehaven camping guide

Where to go

Around Stonehaven

Staying in town puts you within easy reach of Stonehaven’s attractions, as well the surrounding area. From the town centre, you can walk along the coast to Dunnottar Castle and follow walking and biking paths into the countryside. By the seaside, next to the swimming pool, Stonehaven Club Site has pitches for caravans and motorhomes. 

Catterline

A 10-minute drive south of Stonehaven, Catterline is a picturesque historic fishing village that is close to the seabird colony at RSPB Fowlsheugh reserve, where you can see huge numbers of puffins, fulmars, razorbills and more. On the edge of the village, Cloak Caravan Park is a quiet site overlooking the coastline. The site has grass and hardstanding pitches for tents and campervans.

Royal Deeside

With its moody mountains, towering crags, rivers, moors and forests, the romantic landscapes of Royal Deeside captured the imagination of Queen Victoria and many visitors since. The area is an excellent setting for outdoor activities such as walking, biking, whisky tasting and wildlife watching. In the southern valley of the River Dee, Deeside Holiday Park offers a tranquil retreat, with pitches for tents and tourers, as well as a handful of camping pods and lodges with hot tubs.

When to go

For wildlife spotting (particularly seabirds in the cliffs); long daylight hours, sunshine and landscapes covered in colourful wildflowers, visiting in spring or summer is best. The winter, however, has its own appeal. There’s always a chance of seeing the northern lights and, on New Year’s Eve, the Stonehaven Fireball Ceremony has to be seen to be believed. The traditional event sees locals swinging blazing balls of fire above their heads in order to ward off evil spirits.

Know before you go

  • Wild camping is permitted throughout Scotland, as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
  • Stonehaven train station has direct links to Aberdeen, Edinburgh and even as far as England and Wales. Local buses can get you around most nearby places of interest.
  • Stonehaven has several small supermarkets. For major purchases, head for Aberdeen, a 30-minute drive north.
