Ballater Caravan Park

4.9 (745 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.

Brilliant site

Murray, Liz - 05/12/2024

5

Lovely site which is very well looked after by the friendly and helpful team of wardens. All facilities are spotless. Pitches are level and spacious. The site is very handy for the town where there is a good choice of cafes, shops and a couple of bars serving food. The Deeside way runs through the town and is great for walking and cycling. Lots to do and see in the area. Overall a brilliant site which is well worth a visit.

Best facilities I have seen, position near river and town brilliant

Phillips, Jonathan - 05/12/2024

5

This is by far the best site I go to and also the reason I keep going back. I am torn between giving a great review and an awful one as I want to keep it for myself. The facilities are second to none with the showers exceptional. The site is well kept and the proximity to the town is great as you can walk in. If you are into walking or cycling there are also lots of options. I outdone challenge anyone to find anything wrong with this site.

Great weekend at end November.

Yarnold, Karen - 05/12/2024

5

We were looking for a weekend getaway not far from home - and this was the perfect spot. A lovely clean and well-run campsite in a gorgeous location. Plenty of walks /hikes in the area and lots of good pubs, cafes and restaurants in Ballater - only 5 minutes walk away. Only annoyed that we’ve never thought of coming here before. Will definitely be back.

Visited several times now.

Kelvie, Malcolm - 27/11/2024

This site is one of the best in our opinion. The couple that run Ballater camp site are friendly and work extremely hard to keep it in tip top condition at all times, the showers in particular are always clean with powerful showers and plenty of hot water... without having to continuously push a button.There's an abundance of walks, wildlife and local attractions on your doorstepWe have visited several times and will definitely return.

Great location and site

Stevenson, Neil - 24/11/2024

5

This is a lovely site! Always a warm welcome, well maintained and kept without being ‘fussy’. Great shower and toilet block which is always clean. You feel like you are in the middle of no-where with views of the river and hills but are only five mins walk into down for a pub lunch or shops.

An Extremely Well Kept Site

McEwan, Loris - 23/11/2024

5

Facilties are immaculate at the site. Owners are extremely friendly.There is the extra touch with book swap facilities.The campsite brochure with map and information was excellent.Our stay was a couple of weeks prior to the date of the expected park closure for winter and the Caravan Park was extremely quiet. We will return again once the Caravan Park reopens.We certainly would reccomend this Caravan Park, which is also only a short walk from shops, coffee shops, eateries etc.
