Ecclesgreig Holiday Park

Ik was blij met Lovely view of countryside and also a great view of the sea from the pitches up at the top of the park. All facilities very good. Walkable distance to St Cyrus beach in about 30/45 minutes from park.

Ecclesgreig Holiday Park – St Cyrus

From the moment I arrived, the park felt welcoming and was clean and well-presented. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which instantly made my stay more enjoyable. My pitch was great — the ground was a little hard, so I needed a mallet to peg down my tent. I texted the staff, and they brought one to me immediately, which was absolutely wonderful service.

The park is in a lovely spot, with a beautiful little forest walk right next to the campsite if you don’t want to wander too far, and the beach is just a 10-minute walk away.

There are two shower and toilet blocks: the one at the entrance is older, but I particularly liked it because it was warmer. The newer block, located up by the tent pitches, is perfectly placed for quick trips to the bathroom at night. The newer facilities are very handy, with a kitchen area, washing machines, dryers, toaster, kettle, microwave, and even free ladies’ sanitary products. I especially loved the sweets for sale with an honesty box — such a charming touch! I treated myself to some and enjoyed them on my bus journey home. There’s also a drying area for laundry, which is very convenient for longer stays.

For families, there’s a small play park with a sandpit for the kids, as well as a small pond and plenty of seating areas to relax and enjoy the surroundings. I especially liked the takeaway van serving Indian street food — that was my dinner sorted! The food was absolutely delicious and a lovely surprise to find on-site.

One small downside: the permanent residents tend to hog the BBQ area every Saturday night, so it can get a bit tricky to find a spot then. If you’re planning to BBQ on a weekend, just be prepared it might be busy.

St Cyrus itself is small and quiet, with a local shop to pick up essentials, and it more than makes up for it with its great bus service and its absolutely stunning beach. I went down via the cliff walk — it’s beautiful, but please be very careful as there’s nothing to hold onto on the way down. It’s not suitable for very young children, and I highly recommend good footwear. I went down in trainers, but walking shoes would have been much better. If the main cliff walk seems a bit steep, there’s another path to the left that’s more gradual. I didn’t walk down it myself, but it might be a better option if you want a gentler route. Another way to get off the beach is towards the nature reserve, which offers a nice alternative route back.

Overall, Ecclesgreig Holiday Park offers great facilities, a friendly atmosphere, and a beautiful location. Whether you’re after a peaceful forest walk, a beach trip, a family-friendly break, or just a cosy spot to camp with great food nearby, I’d happily recommend it to anyone visiting St Cyrus.

Ik was blij met A fabulously friendly site. The glamping pod was very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The location was great, with nice wee villages and towns close by to explore.

Ik was blij met Great wee site. Particularly liked having the food van (curry) arrive on the Saturday night. Plenty space and looks like it's been developing recently with more to come. Lovely wee forest walk for the dog.

Ik was niet blij met Play park a little tired but one in the village which was good.

Ik was blij met New build BBQ area at top.

Ik was niet blij met There was no grey waste drain that was designed to accommodate a motorhome or van. The level of the grey waste disposal point was higher than the water tank sumps, therefor could not naturally drain with gravity. Used flexible drain hose but would not drain. This resulted in the use of many buckets which meant grey waste was inadvertently spilling on the concreted parking area.
Suggest you incorporate a drive over drain for vans/motorhomes.
Yes there are a few smaller drains as you go down the track but cannot park here to drain as would cause unnecessary obstruction.

Ik was blij met Location, within easy walk of the fantastic St Cyrus Nature Reserve, the views and the beach. (1 mile). The view across the fields and also out towards the sea was also great.
I liked the ability to be able to wash clothes as well as pots, pans and all items cooking. The showers and toilets were immaculate on arrival, perhaps one of the cleanest sites I have visited.

The pitch was large with an electricity point not too far away.

Being able to fill up the motorhome with fresh water and also deal with the waste water was a huge bonus.

Ik was niet blij met Of an evening the area outside the washing facilities was taken over by a group that liked their alcohol.
This left the folk who had tents no where to sit and be able to cook their food away from their pitch and living area.

There was a need to place ramps to enable a level floor. However this is not a big thing, so an item to note.
