Ballater Caravan Park

4.9 (758 reviews)

Catering for touring caravans, motorhomes and camping, Ballater is rated highly by the Scottish Tourist Board and offers a range of facilities onsite, with many more accessible within walking distance. Ballater town centre is just half a mile away and the golf course is even nearer! The park is an excellent base for exploring the Cairngorms National Park and this incredible part of Scotland.

The southern border of Ballater is formed by the River Dee, one of Scotland’s finest salmon rivers, and adjacent to the river lies Ballater Caravan Park.

On site, Ballater offers a well-appointed selection of hard touring stances with 16 amp electric hook-up. Fully serviced hard touring stances are also available, which come with 16 amp electric hook-up, water hook-up, and grey water waste facilities.

A quality toilet and shower block provides ample showers with free hot water and toilets fitted with water saving devices. As well as a dishwashing facility, a laundrette with washing and drying facilities adds further convenience for guests on site. Free complimentary WiFi is provided across the park.

The park has a designated baby changing facility and a well-maintained children’s outdoor play area. A selection of outdoor exercise equipment has also been set up which can be exclusively utilised at any time by adults staying on park.

In a conscious effort to respect and maintain the environment, solar panels have been installed to heat water onsite and recycling facilities have been distributed throughout the park for guests to avail of.

Near Ballater lies the Royal Castle of Balmoral, holiday home for the Royal Family. The charming railway station in the centre of Ballater, which was much used by visitors to Balmoral (especially Queen Victoria) is now a visitor and Tourist Information centre.

Ballater is not only located at the heart of one of the finest areas in Scotland but it is also a charming and busy little town. It has a surprisingly wide range of shops and good places to eat or drink just 5 minutes from the caravan park. Many of the shops display Royal Warrants – what better proof is there of good quality!

On the sporting front, there is a fine 18-hole golf course, bowling green and tennis courts and even (for cold weather) a curling rink. For those who like a stroll there are several beautiful and interesting – and easy – walks, including the ever-popular ‘Seven-bridges’ walk. The hills present greater challenges and nearby Loch Muick not only offers a delightful circular walk but also access to Lochnagar, one of the most popular of ‘Munros’.

Cycling of all sorts is available here with the local hills ideal for a spot of mountain biking while the conversion of the old railway into the Deeside Way enables a gentle flat ride right through to Aberdeen – 40 miles away. The Dee river is justly considered one of the great salmon rivers in Scotland while a host of local lochs offer the chance for trout fishing.

Fabulous Caravan Park

Whittle, Mark - 22/04/2024

5

We absolutely could not fault this Park. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. The best Toilet and Shower Block we have experienced.Spotlessly clean and spacious. We loved Ballater and would highly recommend Sheridans Butchers and the very dog friendly Balmoral Bar.On our trip we visited Balmoral Castle and walked up to Prince Alberts Pyramid (lots of stamina needed as very steep walk up to the top but worth it for the amazing views).We will definitely return

Andreson, Elisabeth - 19/04/2024

This is the cleanest and friendliest village caravan site we have stayed at. The village has lovely independent shops pubs cafes and hotels. There are plenty paths of varied lengths for walkers and cyclists along with a good number of nearby Munros for hillwalking enthusiasts. The caravan site is easily accessible beautifully maintained and has super clean facilities along with play areas for children.
