An Aberdeenshire caravan site is due to welcome representatives from a national caravan organisation next week (April 19th) to discuss a proposed buyout. Queen Elizabeth Caravan Park in Stonehaven is the latest site that the Caravan Club is considering adding to its range of parks across Europe, the Mearns Leader reports.

Aberdeenshire Council has announced that it will be open to bids for all of its caravan sites in order to save money after its funding was cut by the government.

The Caravan Club has more than 375,000 members, and it is hoped that the Club’s involvement will help to bring more of them to the Stonehaven area.

Kincardine and Mearns area manager Willie Munro said that the site has appointed a warden for this year’s summer season, which will continue as normal.

Stonehaven councillor Peter Bellarby told the local paper: “The caravan park is a very valuable asset for the town but it could do with some investment.”

The Caravan Club already owns three sites in Aberdeenshire – Huntly Castle, Silverbank and Invercauld.
