Dovecot Caravan Park

Dovecot Caravan Park offers an orderly, landscaped setting in the countryside just outside Laurencekirk, with grass tent pitches and hardstanding touring pitches for caravans and campervans. Its quiet atmosphere and well-kept grounds suit families and couples who prefer an established campsite with practical comforts rather than a rustic camping experience. Easy access to the A90 makes it a convenient stop on a longer journey or a base for exploring the Mearns, Montrose and the Angus coastline.

Facilities include toilets, hot showers, laundry and dishwashing areas, alongside a small play area for children. Dogs are welcome, and raised barbecues are allowed when used safely. The park opens from March to October, with booking options including online, telephone, email and an online form.

For days out, St Cyrus National Nature Reserve offers a contrast to the inland setting: its sandy beach, dunes and sheltered grasslands can be explored on foot, with summer wildflowers and breeding birds including skylarks and stonechats. Montrose Basin brings a different coastal landscape, with a tidal estuary that supports important populations of waders and wildfowl. Whisky enthusiasts can also consider Fettercairn Distillery, which offers guided visits and tastings; advance booking is encouraged, and the minimum age for tours is eight. These give visitors a choice between coastal walking, birdwatching and learning about local whisky-making.
