A meeting was held on Tuesday at Aberdeenshire Council's Viewmount office in the wake of two serious incidents in the town. Arrests were made two weekends ago following a serious assault outside the Star Inn, and last weekend a raid on a caravan at the park resulted in more arrests.
Several men who had been staying at the site have been remanded in custody in connection with alleged crimes. Police say all those connected with both incidents have now left the town.
Residents of the caravan park and neighbouring Cowie, council officials, police and Aberdeenshire councillors attended the meeting.
Stonehaven and District Community Council chairman David Fleming said he believed the situation has been caused by an overly relaxed attitude to caravan park rules.
He said: "Rules for the Stonehaven site are the same as all other caravan parks in Aberdeenshire. But, until recently, the rules have been flouted and no action has been taken. I think word had gotten round that Stonehaven allowed this behaviour to go on."
Aberdeenshire councillor Graeme Clark said: "The meeting was very positive. We are a bit disturbed that the park may get a reputation and we really want to nip it in the bud and stop it early in the season. There are a lot of good people staying down at the park and it's a superb site."
He added: "We don't wish to discriminate against anyone, as long as they stay under control and don't abuse the facilities."
Cowie resident Allan Sutherland, who is co-ordinator of the Cowie and caravan park residents committee, said that it had been agreed that the council would enforce park rules more strongly.
He said: "The council have undertaken to tighten the rules and we look forward to seeing that happen."
Use of commercial vehicles at the site will be given zero tolerance, and councillor Graeme Clark has suggested an overnight parking ban in the area surrounding the Queen Elizabeth park.
Notices are set to be erected at the site, ensuring that rules are more visible. Anyone who witnesses any inappropriate behaviour will be encouraged to fill out a reporting card, and hand it in to the site warden or a council office.
Mr Fleming said: "The reporting card will ensure that all those instances which become rumour around the town are properly recorded. The rules are there to ensure that the caravan site is for holiday makers, and anyone who does not adhere to them will be asked to leave forthwith."
