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.

Exceptionally clean site and facilities. Ideally situated for the village and surrounding areas. We extended our visit as so much to see and do, staff were very helpful. Will definitely be back.
Everything about the park from access, cleanliness, friendly staff to attractions in town including golf course were excellent. I don’t think I’ve stayed at a better park. We’re coming back.
Hi been going off and on to Ballater for years , but with illness we haven’t managed to go , phoned the site to try and book site as couldn’t remember the lay out of the site even looking at the map I couldn’t remember the location of the numbers , the lady was polite and had lots of patience for me as I am a bit slow at the moment, but didn’t appreciate the man’s voice in the back ground telling her to hang up , when we were having a conversation about what site to book , it was quite off putting, but despite that it’s a very well kept site , toilets are so clean, , very nice site indeed 👍
Cannot fault this park. In a beautiful spot and only a short walk from the cafes, shops etc in Ballater. Lovely walks nearby too. The site and facilities are as clean and well maintained as ever, and staff are friendly and efficient.
First time at this lovely site in Ballater and will definitely be back it's excellent situation to the town was great the cleanliness of the facilities were excellent all in all a great couple of days away and we'll definitely be back.
We ended up stay 6 nights, very close to town, large pitches, fantastic toilet and showers. Very helpful staff, the best motorhome service points, dog friendly, everything was lovely, can't think of anything that needs changing.
This place ticks all the usual boxes plus gives easy access to an interesting small town and several pleasant walks. Don't know why but it attracts nice people and has a really congenial atmosphere.
What an excellent site! We loved everything about it! Great space between pitches, facilities were clean and tidy. Staff were lovely and the site is an easy walk to the small town so access for a meal or shopping. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the area.
Outstanding, 40 years of staying on camping site this is the best well done to all involved with the running of this outstanding site
We recently spent three nights at Ballater Caravan Site. We have not been to the site since early 2017 when the whole village was still trying to get back on it's feet after the terrible damage and destruction caused by Storm Frank in December 2015.Back in 2017, it was a nice site just still a bit shell-shocked over what had happened - move on 8 years and the place is amazing! Still recognisable as the very same site but beautifully kept and the facilities are all absolutely spot-on.Run by Ballater Community Enterprise and they should be very proud of what has been achieved, not just in the caravan site, but also throughout the village. A lovely site and beautiful village - a credit to all those involved.We will definitely be back
