There are hard standings at Aden, but mainly they are only the width of the 'van.  There is a tarmac area where some people pitch though it doesn't look very attractive.  Haven't stayed on the site personally as we always stay at the council site further up in Fraserburgh (an awful site compared to the CC ones we normally use ... but we have our reasons!).  We did have a look at Aden though last month as the future of the Fraserburgh site is unclear as Aberdeenshire Council are selling off all of their sites.  I'm sure the warden at Fraserburgh said Aden, which is the best of the bunch, had found a buyer.

I had hoped the CC would have taken on Aden, as they had been approached about other sites belonging to the council, but alas not.  Shame it is a great location and could be very, very nice.

We always stay at Silverbank prior to heading for Fraserburgh.  Wonderful site ... was going to suggest that to you but presumed you wished to stay in the heart of Buchan.

Your best bet is probably to stay at Silverbank for longer ... nice big hard standing pitches.

If only the female warden would stop trying to sell her plaster sheep to everyone!

Stayed at Turriff last year very friendly, helpful warden but site a bit tired, facilities adequate - just, but basic.  Few hardstandings & not up to CC standard.  Prices low so good value for money with discounts for OAP's. Site close to town, good dog walks,  was quiet during our stay but could be hectic if the static vans are busy.  Enjoyed our stay & would go again.  Disappointment - the 'Turra' accent is disappearing since I worked there in the 1980's.  Some years since we stayed at Huntly Castle, excellent site but the prices reflected this.  Pays your money & takes your choice?

The council were looking to offload all of the sites.  I know the Caravan Club are taking on Stonehaven, though not till 2013.

Probably best to call direct, hopefully they have retained the same phone numbers.
