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.

What can I say, another stay at this incredible site for the last 4 nights of the season. The pitches are level and all kept topped up with gravel and free of weeds. The toilet blocks are kept immaculate and very warm. The shower cubicles are spacious and well laid out with a wide seat, shower curtain, controllable temperature and pressure. We love walking so many walking opportunities here. The village has many nice shops and cafes and pubs.Only fault is its not open all year. We would certainly use in in the winter and it would certainly be full at new year. Will certainly be back.
Great site only 5 minutes walk from town ,site is spotless and staff very helpful
What a fantastic stay we had. The Staff at the campsite went over and above to help us have the best stay possible. Helped out by giving us an Electric hook up extender and then on exit ensured we could fill our water tank even though most of the water outlets were frozen due to the -3 weather conditions. Great campsite and will definitely be back next year.
Very friendly and helpful staffImpressed with cleanliness and thought that has gone into facilitiesGood value for money Fantastic scenery
End of season stay - everything good as usual. Great atmosphere in Ballater with Christmas Festival .
I actually don’t want to say anything too complimentary otherwise it might get too busy and we might find it full up any time we wish to go! It’s our ‘go to’ site for a quick few days away. Ballater provides all our needs. Pubs, restaurants, takeaways, supermarket, boutiques, golf course. It’s a gemstone set in a landscape of beauty. Can’t fault it.
Assuming you dont go when there has been torrential rain or deep snow melt, when there is a possibility of flood, this is an excellent, well managed site for campervans. Toilet and shower block is new and kept spotlessly clean. Great base for lots of excellent walks in the Braemar, Ballater and Aboyne areas.
This was the first time we stayed at this Caravan Park.It was easy to enter and we received all the information we needed at reception.The toilet/shower block was very clean, tidy and warm.As it was quite late in the year it was not very busy, we enjoyed the quiet a lot.Lots of great walks around Would happily go back again
