 Nice site. Reasonable size pitches and some thoughtful areas left with no pitches on them. Could do with a little more hedging and greenery to separate individual pitches etc but overall has a nice feel to it.
There are a lot of seasonal caravans on site which are becoming a bit of a pain for tourers. A) they deny the best pitches to those looking b) they are often not the best cleaned / maintained and c) they seem to collect stuff in and around their pitch with a sense of entitlement (decorations hanging in trees, ornaments which everyone else has to look at etc).
There are hardstanding and serviced pitches. There is water and drainage on the serviced ones but be aware that often there is only one water point between two pitches, so depending on the pitch, you can find yourself on the wrong side of the water needing an extra long hose.
The toilet blocks are clean and tidy but note the lights are on a sensor and timer so if you're the only one in there and go into a shower stall or cubicle for even 5 mins, the lights are likely to go out on you!
There is one CDP point and rubbish / recycling point on site, so can be a bit of a trek, but not a problem to us and does keep the place tidier.
Good location. Angus is massively underrated. There are fabulous glens running north, great beaches on the east coast and lovely little towns to visit like Aylth, Kirriemuir etc.
Final point. There is a security barrier which uses ANPR to open automatically. Handy, except not very secure. With so many seasonals on site it would be easy for someone to come and pinch a reg plate, then place it on top of theirs to gain entry. A security code that people have to know would seem safer, but I suspect this is convenience over security.
Overall, a very nice site with just a few niggles.

Great little site.
Small quiet area for tents, not far from facility block, which was well maintained.
Lovely friendly staff.
Close to Forfar & Brechin.
We went for the Caledonia Railway events and it wasn’t a long drive.
Didn’t make it to Murton nature reserve but will next time.
Nice path for short walk with small kids.
Play park could do with a bit of attention but it wasn’t our priority.
Our first camping trip away was great.
Will be back!

Everything is as was expected from an unassuming location if not better. Communication was fantastic throughout the booking process, and also in arrival.
The site was well presented and of course kept well clean with probably the best working facilities we have seen in our camping history.
We used this as our base camp, which was perfect for our holiday as it presented pretty much access to all areas we needed to visit.
We were not after a holiday park, although for longer breaks we usually do due to young children as this was an opportunity to visit family without imposing on them.

Second visit for us.
A great site, clean, tidy, relaxed atmosphere and hassle free.
Spacious showers and toilets.
Plenty of space for dog walking and a quality restaurant just off site.

Have reviewed several times in the past, but just to update, the site remains excellent and good value for money.
Facilities excellent and the restaurant adjoining serves great food.

Lovely site, very clean and tidy,
Toilets excellent,
Enjoy a night at this site but as it is in the countryside you need to use motorhome to get about

We booked this site only as a stop-off on the way back 3 weeks in the Cairngorms and Highlands, but could have stayed a lot longer.
The site is very quiet, even though it is just off the road, and dark (great for stargazing). It is on several levels and we were lucky to be on the top level with views across to the Angus glens and mountains.
Facilities were all fully open (unlike some other sites on our trip) and well maintained.
A great location for exploring an area which deserves more attention.
The Montrose basin is stunning.

Site is lovely and quiet, with well drained pitches (we were there for a couple of days of massive downpours and the only big puddles we saw were on the edges of the internal roadways). Most of the caravan pitches are gravel.
The camping field was at the bottom of the hill but still drained well. It's a fairly steep short walk from the camping field to the rest of the site (including toilet block).
The hookup points all have a tap so fetching water was easier than any other side I've ever stayed at.
Unfortunately there is only a single grey water disposal point which was the opposite side of the site from us. Wifi is provided but didn't reach us on the camping field.
We visited in summer 2021, with some Covid restrictions still in place. The toilets were fully open (each booking is provided with a single key to the block), masks to be worn indoors, and extra cleaning materials and hand gel was provided. The warden was very helpful and reception was set up outdoors for ventilation.
There weren't many families there, mostly older couples - possibly partly because they weren't really accepting tents at the time. The playground is very small, aimed at ~5 year olds, and isn't actually within the site - it's beyond the back gate adjacent to the neighbouring restaurant.
Still, our 9 year old enjoyed cycling the gravel paths and there were at least a few other kids around.
The site is dog-friendly with a short dog walk path provided and easy access to a wider network of paths.
Forfar is around 2 miles along a 60mph road from the site and has all the usual facilities including plenty of takeaways and a big supermarket. There are lots of tourist places to visit within a half-hour drive (Montrose, Dundee, Lunan Bay).
There is what appears to be a nice country park / petting zoo opposite the site but it doesn't accept dogs. Balgavies loch a couple of miles east of the site is a nice circular walk (only about 1. 5 miles) with a bird hide, plenty of wildlife and some industrial archaeology (old railway station).
