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.

This was our second visit to Ballater Campsite having stayed three years ago. The site is immaculate! It is so well maintained and it’s very obvious that a lot of care and attention goes into maintaining its cleanliness (including fresh soapy water in the mop buckets within the shower blocks!). Our pitch was right next to the River Dee - a beautiful location. Ballater is within a few minutes walk where we used the local shops and cafes and the pub - it has everything you need. Victoria Week was taking place which was entertaining, particularly the dog show. We did the Seven Bridges Walk which takes you through some stunning scenery. We are already planning our trip back!
The campsite was amazing and needed for only very very minor things sorting.The toilet doors, mainly the ladies, needs soft shut door as it bangs in the night.Shower curtains need weighting so that when the shower is on they don’t lift with the heat movement of air.The only other thing is, I was in a Caddy and needed no electric and could have stayed in the tenting area, leaving the site to make more money as they would have had an extra space for a camper/motorhome which o ended up having to use.Or it needs a camper/motorhome area with no hook up
Excellent site, great facilities, and fantastic location
Ballater is a first class caravan and camping site.We had a tent pitch, hence the facilities were key. The shower block and toilets were spotless, at all times of the day and night.
Absolutely love Ballater campsite. Have visited many times over a long period which says it all. The grounds are kept beautifully with gardener working continuously to keep grass cut, weeding etc to keep all in order.Staff are very friendly. Toilet block impeccable as ever with staff visiting quite a few times during the day checking all is in order. Showers lovely and hot with no annoying button pressing every few minutes. If there is any one nit picky thing (and it is really minor!) could do with a shelf in shower area for holding shampoo/soap etc. Ballater is a lovely village with many independent shops and Co-op supermarket for groceries etc. There are also lots of lovely walks in the area too all clearly marked on the way. A good bus service covers surrounding area and also to Aberdeen if you require a city visit. Definitely hope to visit again.
We had a very peaceful week considering the site was full . The shower block and toilets are very well maintained and kept spotless . I used the laundry which was the same . Staff very friendly at reception . We will be back .
Lovely site, absolutely spotless facilities, well kept grounds, perfect location.......title says it all!
This caravan site is located within Ballater so everything is walking distance. The site is beautifully kept and well laid out. The toilet block was cleaned every morning as is usual on sites, but also checked several times during the day. Staff were friendly and the pitch was immaculate, not a single weed for my puppy to chew!
