Aberdeenshire's static caravan parks range from exposed coastal sites near Stonehaven to sheltered countryside parks around Royal Deeside, so it's worth deciding early on which setting suits your holidays best.
Coastal parks near Cruden Bay and Pennan put you close to beaches and cliff walks, while inland parks near Balmoral and Royal Deeside offer forest views and easy access to Cairngorms walking routes.
Whichever part of the county you choose, check the park's opening season, site fees and site licence carefully, and ask about resale arrangements before you buy.
Prices vary by size, age and location, from smaller pre-owned caravans to larger new-build models on premium coastal or Deeside pitches. Site fees are charged on top of the purchase price, so always ask for the full annual cost before buying.
Most static caravans are holiday homes on a seasonal licence, typically restricting occupation to around 10-11 months a year rather than full-time residential use. Check the site licence for the exact dates before you buy.
No. If the park already has planning permission and a site licence for holiday caravans, you're simply buying a unit on an established pitch rather than applying for permission yourself.
Most parks charge a resale or assignment commission, so check the park's resale terms and typical commission rate before you buy, as this affects your return when you come to sell.
The Stonehaven coast, the fishing villages around Cruden Bay and Pennan, and the Royal Deeside area near Balmoral are among the most sought-after locations, each offering a different mix of coastal and countryside holidays.
