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.

We only had the chance to enjoy this amazing site for one night as we were on our way north. The pitches are well spaced and very tidy. The site is immaculate, the grounds well tended and the facilities for touring are second to none (including a specific place for cleaning any bicycles) .I would highly recommend this campsite.
Very quiet pretty site on the banks of the Dee. Within easy walking distance of the town. Well set out pitches with lots of room between the pitches.Very clean toilets. Showers were really good with no fixed shower heads (I like hand held), good water supply and easy to control the temperature. Also proper shower curtains, a seat and enough hooks. I liked the cloths at the sinks so you could wipe up water splashes.Everything is well maintained and looks good.Staff were very friendly.
Overall the amenities were excellent !!! Spotlessly clean! Even had a fantastic Hairdryer. We would highly recommend Ballater Caravan Park. Bus Trip to Balmoral was fab. Ballater such a lovely place. The Balmoral Arms was a great,dog friendly and would recommend a visit. Definitely returning Thankyou Ballater.
We keep coming back because in every category it is tip top and 10/10. Alexandra Hotel is great and affordable for a meal.
First stay here and would return for sure. Spotless campsite close to town. Modern and immaculate shower facilities too. Great views to the mountains or river in the opposite direction.
My wife and I were extremely impressed with the reception on arrival to the cleanliness of the facilities and general upkeep on the site. We would recommend a stay at this site to anyone. 10/10, Not to forget the amazing location.
Well thought through, clean, practical, facilities well built and lots of loos and basins. And then we discovered it’s run by the community. Top class. High praise.
Great site which was kept clean and immaculate with excellent facilities and shower blocks, the location is perfect for cycling and walking, there are plenty of nice cafes and pubs in Ballater. This was my third visit and won’t be the last.
