Ballater Caravan Park

4.9 (675 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.

Exceptional Site

Hetherington, Graham - 12/08/2026

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.

Returning visit

Mustard, Hazel - 11/08/2026

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.

Lovely site

Black, Rosaline - 11/08/2026

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!

We have stayed at Ballater many times over the years and it never fails expectations. The sits facilities are absolutely immaculately clean and well maintained.The site was full but even though our son and grandson came for a surprise visit the site were able to accommodate a pitch for our boys Land Rover.Towns folk are always very pleasant and good access to local shops.Walks are also amazing, mind the Caridaroch summit was a bit tough! But views well worth the climb

Very well kept site good pitches.

Alcock, Alan - 10/08/2026

The site was really clean and pitches were well presented. The shower area was very clean. The lady at reception was very informative and nice to speak to. We found some of the locals in the town very stand offish, but the shop keepers were very friendly. Be careful where you eat we went to a small cafe near the CoOp had a small breakfast cheese and onion toastie with a tes and a coffee, this cost nearly £30 !!!. Would come back to this site.
