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. The touring park caters not only for caravans and motorhomes but also offers great facilities for camping. The park is located half of a mile from the centre of Ballater with its variety of shops and restaurants and just one quarter of a mile from the golf and bowling clubs. This quiet and beautiful location combined with so many facilities within easy walking distance makes the park very popular with its visitors, especially those using motorhomes.
The Caravan Park has 40 numbered hard standing touring pitches with electric hook up and 35 un-numbered grass pitches without electricity, for tents, campervans. They also have 7 grass pitches with electric hook-up available suitable for tents.
1st April - 30th October

Although wash/toilet facilities are shut, from previous visits they are very clean. Shops are only a 5 min walk away. Plenty takeaways and restaurants to choose from if you don’t want to cook. Lots of lovely walks and attractions to visit also. We will be returning once they open back up. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing visit.

This will be our 4th stay at the campsite, we love the location and cleanliness of campsite. Also how quiet it is in an evening, obviously it’s different this year with no toilet facilities, however we are lucky to be self contained in our motorhome . We would have loved to stay over New Year, hopefully this may be an option next year 🙏 keep up the good work, we will certainly be back

Our 2nd stay at Ballater and there is no doubt we will return, hopefully when all facilities will be open. A very warm welcome once again. Lovely location, plenty of walking and cycling from the site - no need to move the Mohome. The snow did not stop us getting out - only a dusting at site level but a bit more on the hills. Hope the site will extend its opening period again next year.

Impressed with the site overall although comment could not be made regarding facilities due to visit during Covid-19 restrictions. Lovely site and will return again.

We don't normally use our motorhome in November but am so glad we did. Again, we had a super pitch by the river and with most of the leaves off the trees we had even better views. Check in was quick and very efficient, as is required in these times, and staff friendly... We don't normally use our motorhome in November but am so glad we did.

The short walk into the centre of Ballater is very pleasant and although we hadn't travelled far we really felt we were on holiday.
