(AB42 0NB) Cruden Bay - 5 Harbour Street

Perfetto per una notte di passaggio, vista mare con tramonto, super rilassante e anche molto tranquillo. In agosto, abbiamo trovato solo tre camper e qualche van, ma in effetti lo spazio è limitato. Non abbiamo usato i bagni, quindi non posso lasciare un giudizio in merito.

Been here several times. It used to only be small campers but now motorhomes taking most spaces. Please remember to leave at least £10 per night to keep this operational.

Didn't have any issue with locals and was even able to park a little bit outside of the parking zone because of the lack of space. Toilets are ok, the location is far from the road so very quiet.

Excelent view you can also pay via their web

The locals don’t like campervan being here sadly

I love a wee overnight here kipping in the car. if you are here during the day on a Sunday the ice cream man comes. Pet friendly.

Excellent spot, £10 donation and well worth it, toilets spotless.Bit exposed but it is on a quayside but harbour wall gives some shelter. Very safe with locals housing very near.Local shop not too far. I’ll be back .!

What an amazing park up, the requirement is a £10 donation but who wouldn’t donate to keep a place like this going? We were very lucky with the weather in December and only x1 other van stayed here with us, The toilets were spotless along with the area. There is a water tap if required for another small donation. Beautiful sandy beach, beautiful views and a beautiful location

Quiet little park up in the harbour car park. Water tap and toilets open all night. Just need to leave a donation as specified on the signs.

Great spot, here with 4 other vans, pretty much full - paid the £10 donation and £2 for water in the box on the toilets, that are impeccably clean. Please keep donating to enable places like this to continue. Many thanks to the volunteers in the local community

Lovely place to stop in the summer. One of many on this underrated coast. Great views and beach. Last couple of times i have stayed it's been too busy with 10 - 15 vans crammed into a space suitable for 5.

Fantástico sitio para pasar el día o la noche, hay agua y unas vistas fantásticas de la playa.

Sehr schöner Platz. vielen Dank dafür!!! wundervoller Blick auf den Strand

Endroit très sympa. Vue sur mer. venir avant 16h pour avoir une place. Sanitaires du port a proximité. boite a don 10£ la nuit max deux nuits

Netter Parkplatz für ca 10 Fahrzeuge,mit geöffneter Toilette und. Frischwasser. Volonteers machen hier sauber. 10£ wird in der Donationbox für Erneuerung der Hafenzufahrt etc gesammelt.

Great spot, good walks nearby to the castle and beach, we saw dolphins from the cliffs! . You can now also donate via a link by the toilets, so no cash needed. Many thanks to the local community for giving us this space!

Lieu vraiment génial ! les toilettes sont d'une propreté extraordinaire (même avec du chauffage !!!) et les emplacements très bien conçus. Une petite épicerie avec produits locaux toute proche, belle randonnée jusqu'au château. Je n'ai malheureusement pas l'impression que beaucoup de personnes participent au don de 10£ demandés. bravo a celui qui a vidé sa cassette WC malgré l'interdiction

Very quiet, excellent toilets, place to fill up water. Definitely donate to keep this place available - so good. Incredibly windy but still had a great nights sleep.

Perfect stop toilets lovely and clean worth the £10 donation to keep this spot open for motor homes definitely be back with binoculars to see all the birds up close

Amazing stop. Toilets. Water. Amazing views on the harbour. Please do give £10 as those whom say it’s a donation and don’t give will end these places for us. We have and added £2 for water. Brilliant stop. Beach was was great. Walks for the dog plentiful. Friendly locals. Thanks harbour group for giving us the chance to stop.

Didn't stop but nice place for a stopovers was to early in the day so carried on my journey

Excellent secluded little spot right at the sea,clean toilets, no cassette waste though,£10 per night donation and £1 for toilet upkeep,max 3 nights, no return within 7 days

Sehr schöne und ruhige Platz aber windig gegen kleine Spende von 10 Pfund kann man hier über Nacht bleiben

A wild and windy night but slept well. Very quiet with no vehicles about. Excellent parking with great views. Spent some time yesterday watching a couple of guys kite surfing, they were good. Please make the requested donation so we can keep this great place.

Stunning little spot right on the harbour! Amazing walks along the beach. £10 donation can be put in the donation box or paid on the website. Toilets are a little run down but do the job (Take your own bog roll!). Great signal on O2 and EE.

Fantastic spot! Well worth the £10 donation. We got the spot on the right, with the grass area outside our door....perfect for the dogs. Didn't use the facilities so can't comment on them. Beach is beautiful, a lovely little village and harbour. Quiet night followed by a stunning sunrise.

What a find this place is. £10 donation well spent. Beautiful beach views and sunset. Toilets available but take your own toilet roll. Can’t wait to come back.

£10 a night donation, which we gladly paid...beautiful beach and mostly flat parking...public toilets are free but not to empty cassettes into ...please don't forget to donate or these fabulous spots won't stay available

Emplacement sur le port. Possibilité de passer la nuit avec un don de 10£ (en ligne ou dans une boîte de dons). Toilettes publiques (don de 1£). Robinet d'eau pour remplir la cuve du van. Très belle plage. Attention, pour les gros et longs campings car, certains passages dans le village sont très étroits.

Super schöner Platz, die 5 Womos Regelung gibt es nicht mehr, aber bitte nicht ausnutzen - bitte spenden sonst gibt es Plätze wie den bald nicht mehr

Alles super, schöner Platz

Sehr schöner Platz, ruhig und prima Aussicht. Laut Aushang sollen maximal fünf Camper übernachten. Es wird um eine Spende von 10 £ gebeten. Vielen Dank an die Gemeinde!

Absolutely fantastic spot for camper-van stopover, we stayed one night and had a great night, about 5 other campers and still plenty of space for more. Stunning view across the beach and harbour and within walking distance from Slains castle. We stopped by balmedie beach and Newburgh beach on our way which seemed very resistant to campers so was a nice to be welcomed here for a small £10 donation.

Super Platz, haben dort Delfine gesehen. KEINE TOILETTEN ENTLEERUNG! Überall Verbotsschilder. Übernachtung per Spende möglich. Sehr schöner Platz mit vielen Picknick Bänken

Tolle Möglichkeit gegen eine Spende hier im Hafen stehen zu können! Toiletten können genutzt werden. Ausgeschlossen ist allerdings das Entleeren von Toiletten aus Wohnmobilen! Es steht ganz groß an den Spiegeln in der Damen- und Herrentoilette. Diese werden gereinigt, und sind dann tagsüber so sauber, wie derjenige sie hinterlässt, der vor einem drin war!!!

Es gibt nicht viele Plätze an der Küste, wo Wohnmobile wirklich willkommen sind. Der kleine Hafen von Cruden Bay gehört dazu, ein ruhiger und angenehmer Ort. Die Hafenbehörde bittet um eine Spende von mindestens 10 BP zur Aufrechterhaltung der Hafenaktivitäten. Dafür bietet sie bis zu 3 Nächte Platznutzung, Wasser und das Ausleeren der Kassette in der Toilette. Das bezahlen wir doch gern.

The toilets are perfectly adequate, I’m not sure why there are comments suggesting otherwise. I imagine there is a beautiful view when it isn’t foggy. A peaceful sleep, thank you.

Excellent parkup. 6 vans here last night. Campervans are allowed to stay for 3 night's, 24hr basic toilets, bring your own loo roll. shame the boy racer turned up and insisted we listened to his loud boom music, got some excellent sleep, once he had gone.

We normally bring toilet rolls, bleach and hand soap for both toilets! Great place for a night!

Absolutely stunning

perfect pace to park up for a night or two

Stayed for two nights! Great place with nice people. Small shop at the village with essentials. Nice beach for walks! Toilets a bit dirty we preferred using our own. Water tap available. Please donate for staying here!

Beautiful spot for the night.

lovely spot here, worth giving a £10 donation. picturesque village and lovely sandy beach

excellent emplacement. très au calme. en bout de route. participation facultative de 10£. très propre.

Locals some of the best in the North East, so kind, friendly and deserving of our donation to the harbour fund. One of the fishermen gutted and filleted mackerel for us. we had them for breakfast! Highly recommend it. visited August 5 2022

Great stopover. Couple of hours on lovely beach and swimming in sea, then bbq next to van followed by sunset walk to Slain Castle. Toilet fine, water tap. A nice community vibe amongst vans and locals seemed very friendly.

Geweldig mooie plek, wij hebben genoten van een prachtige zonsondergang. Er stonden in totaal 10 campers, maar er werd niks van gezegd.

Sehr guter Platz! Toiletten leider nicht benutzbar, da viel zu dreckig!

We absolutely loved it, what a location and £10 is a bargain. The WC’s are ok should you have to use them. There’s a water tap so you can top up your supply. Other Motorhome Visitors were so friendly too. We have already made plans to visit next weekend, this time we’ll visit the Kilmarnock Arms for supper (dog friendly) and Slains Castle - inspired by Bram Stokers Dracula. Just magic!

good spot to stay for a donation. Dumping is possible and tap water is also available. Visit "Slains Castle"

Upto 5 vans can park by the railings. A donation of £10 is suggested. We had a quiet night other than the sound of the sea. Beautiful beach and castle within walking distance. You need to be self sufficient as there are only disgraceful toilets on the harbour (no seat, no lid on the cistern, no paper, no soap).

Endroit sympa pour passer la nuit, le stationnement est gratuit, mais la commune nous sollicite gentiment pour contribuer à l'entretien du site..aucune obligation, chacun fait selon sa conscience. les toilettes sont limites mais relativement propres et ont le mérite d'exister. très bonne nuit, réveillés vers 6h00 par les premiers pêcheurs, mais c'est pas très gênant. robinet d'eau, et 4g

great view, was a bit windy at night. please respect the rules on the railing. motorhome next to us parked sideways and treated the spot like a campsite. toilets are not very nice.

Short drive from newburgh seal beach. Flat pitch right up to sea wall, amazing views, seen a few seals swimming around. Great walk up to Slains Castle. Short walk to a local shop. Has fresh water tap, toilets are unclean but better ones down past the shop on the right.

Had to give this place 5☆ for location & view...Didn't mind donation request either but if they're not using funds to keep the toilets in good order, what are they using it for, maybe the lovely flower display in the old boat! No seat! No paper!! No soap!!! Soap & paper, happy to take my own...Seat! NO :-( not asking for luxuries just necessities especially in the ladies. Users please Respect :-D

ok for one night although three nights is allowed but other than water no other services that you would want to use, toilets disgraceful

lovely spot near to beach etc. toilets were a disgrace so did not stay once I saw toilets. £10 donation should ensure a toilet fit/clean for use. Run by the Harbour Committee. Council public toilets open 8am to 6pm 300yds from harbour. spotless

Lovely little spot next to the sea. Beautiful beach walk or along the cliffs to the castle. Happy to pay £10 donation and feel welcome. Lovely village and everybody very friendly. Had a nice Chinese meal delivered to the van.

Stayed for 2 nights (maximum 3) maximum of 5 vans but there were 9 vans one night with no problems. £10 per night donation paid in an honesty slot in the door of the toilets. The toilets (male&female) are a bit dated but are okay. Beautiful views across the bay and a 1hr round walk to an extraordinary castle on the cliffs.We felt safe with no disturbance during the night.Would stay again.

Lovely wee stop for a few nights !! The local Chinese will deliver to your motorhome perfect! leave no trace folks and remember to leave your £10 donation per night goes towards keeping this open

Great spot and we'll worth the £10 donation. Got here at 5 pm. By 7pm it was full. If that happens drive a mile north to the car park near Slains castle.

Incredible spot and well worth the donation. Saw some people dumping black waste in the toilets, don’t be that person or this place will be shut down.

What a great place to stay. Toilets and water available and great views right next to the sea. Would highly recommend

A great place to stop. Lovely walk to the castle and on to the nature reserve then down to see the seals at the end of the beach. Such friendly people and what a view to wake up to. Well worth the £10 in the honesty box

Icing on the cake! fab view quiet place. lovely walk to castle (mainly flat)suitable for large moterhome. peaceful stay. our M/H 8.5 m

Great spot, paid the £10 donation after the storm stopped. Fell asleep listening to the crashing waves was a lovely experience. Felt very safe. Water tap next to toilets that can be used to fill up if short on water.

Happily paid the tenner suggested. Such a fabulous spot right on the beach, level too with clean but basic toilets. Pub is walkable too. And a shop. Not often I give a 5/5!

Excellent overnight stop. Amazing views, plenty spaces were available. Toilets were open and a £10 donation suggested for upkeep of harbour, very worthwhile.

Absolutely wonderful spot. Raging sea, huge sky, great sunsets, and plenty of exploring to be done.

Very peaceful and flat, room for 5 motor homes with toilets close by. Recommended £10 donation to help for the upkeep of the harbour area

Parked by harbour facing side.

Stopped for lunch. Very pretty spot! Motorhomes welcome for up to 3 nights. £10 per night donation request. Absolutely no facilities.

Spot au calme, avec une jolie vue, et non loin d'un village de pêcheurs très charmant. les toilettes sont fermés a cause du covid-19 mais il y'en a d'autres ouverts a 700 mètres. Des tables de Pique-nique a côté. 5 camping car maximum autorisé. gratuit avec une donation box

Great spot, toilets closed at present but excellent views.

It IS free. they ask for a donation. you decide. it is an excellent spot.

It’s beautiful!

Absolutely fantastic place, recommend highly.

Très beau spot. Malheureusement ils interdisent aussi de vider les toilettes. Mais ils restent ouverts jour et nuit.

Only now I see a donation is requested. We parked free.

We were there alone, toilets 24 hours opened, drinking water point available, easy walking to Slain castle, Cruden Bay sand beach for walking, swimming

Très tranquille et direct sur la mer. Merci de nous laisser nous poser pour la nuit.

Parking calme et plat. Vue magnifique, point d’eau et wc public mais pas de vidange et interdiction de vider les toilettes chimiques.

Great location for the night, falling asleep to the sound of the waves. Fantastic beach, quiet little village, WC and water fill. Could not be happier

A great place to stay. £10 donation suggested. Signs on toilets asking people NOT to empty their chemical waste in the public loos.

We stayed here last night, lovely place, the sea was calm. It’s not free, there is a green honesty box on the slip way. It’s £10 for the night, and your registration number. There is fresh water and two toilets, take some loo paper with you just in case. No other facilities but there’s a beautiful beach.

Not free.. £10 honesty box.

Attention : un petit homme rondouillet (Dave webster) peut passer le matin et demander 10 livres pour le parking et le réapprovisionnement en eau, c'est un arnaqueur, il est évidemment possible de laisser une donation ce qui est normal mais ne tombez pas dans le panneau, ce parking est gratuit, tous les locaux nous l'ont confirmé.

Petit port avec vue sur une immense plage. 5 à 6 places de stationnement face à la mer. Borne eau et toilettes à 50 m. Accès aisé avec camping-car de 8 m.

Great little spot. Toilets closed in winter but water still available. Max 3 night stay.

Merci à la commune de nous accueillir avec ce point de vue.

Aire très calme. Avons passé 2 nuits sans problème. Les toilettes étaient fermées mais d'autres étaient ouvertes dans le parking juste avant (par contre interdiction de vider les WC chimiques) De ce parking départ d'un petit chemin pour visiter les ruines d'un château. Très sympa.
