We have a wedding invite in Aberdeen in July .
From here it would mean 2 overnight stops .
But I can’t find any sight close to Aberdeen . We don’t want big commercial type but need facilities and ehu x
Any ideas appreciated .
We may not go yet but I would like to think about it .

Deeside holiday park. Sure it’s quite big, but pitches are separated by hedges so it doesn’t feel big. And it’s only for 2 days. You can walk to a bus stop into the city, or get a short taxi ride because you’ll be in wedding gear. You’ve got to go inland or along the coast a fair bit (beyond 15 miles) to get smaller sites.
Just check one thing if you’re planning to drive to the wedding & reception: I think Aberdeen now has a Low Emission Zone, or might well have by next year. Do check the city council website. Unlike English ones (£12 a day or whatever), if your vehicle is too old to comply, it’s a £60 odd fine, doubled next time then doubled again at the third time you come inside the LEZ boundary. We had to get a newer car when the Glasgow one came in a few years ago.

Stonehaven CAMC. It's not that large, all the facilities are immaculate. It's right on the seafront and close to shops.

Trains into central Aberdeen take 20 minutes.
Plenty to see and do in Stonehaven too.

Really lovely site and place.

I used to travel to Aberdeen for work and yes, the train station is in the city centre.

I stayed at Deeside a few years ago, it was ok but pretty expensive. I've also stayed at Hillhead at Kintore which has a small area for touring vans and tents. It has EHU and toilets/showers etc and is around 15 miles from Aberdeen. Decent enough for a short stay. It's been a while since I searched but there weren't that many sites in the Aberdeen area, Deeside and Hillhead were the nearest I think.

For getting to a wedding, in finery, I’d support the Stonehaven suggestion. I’m comparing the walk then bus that I’ve done from Deeside, to the suggestion of the train from Stonehaven.
Load up the ScotRail app; train 3 times per hour, £7.00 single ticket.

I'd go for Stonehaven(locally called Stoney ), but I'd take the X7 or X8 bus to Aberdeen Union square which is beside the railway station.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.
