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.

Excellent site, lots of nice walks and close to Ballater which has a good selection of restaurants and pubs. Shower block top marks for cleanliness and site grounds are well maintained. Would definitely recommend a stay at this location.
First visit to Ballater during our epic Scotland tour adventure with my wife and friends in two caravans with seven Miniature Schnauzer dogs. Four of ours and three with our friends.What an absolute delight to stay at such a wonderful caravan and camping site.We stayed for three nights over the Easter Weekend but wish it could have been longer.The campsite is spotlessly clean and located in a prime position adjacent to the river Dee.Access is easy to the centre of Ballater village which has all the amenities a caravanner could wish for.In our case good walks for our dogs is essential. There are many good walks adjacent from the site which we enjoyed.The site is close to Balmoral and Braemar which we visited.The toilet facilities are immaculate and considering over the EasterBank Holiday the site was very busy, the facilities were never overcrowded and always clean.My only minor negative observation was the lack of anywhere to put shower gel and shampoo in the shower cubicles.
Wardens very helpful, pitches of a very high standard and plenty of room Site is close to town so easy walking Ballater pubs very dog friendly
One of our favourite places, very well kept grounds, friendly helpful staff, facilities always immaculately clean.
Just back from a week's holiday with friends and we can't fault this site. Fully serviced pitch was immaculate as was the site itself plus the amenities were first class.Well done to all Staff please keep up the good work and we look forward to visiting again.
Beautiful site, great facilities, easy walk into town
We had a great Easter weekend at Ballater Campsite. It's really well maintained and relaxed campsite, staff were really welcoming and friendly, my little girl even got a chocolate treat at reception on arrival, she was very happy! The facilities are very good and very clean at all times. Great location for walking into Ballater. Also ideal for cycling and walking, great routes right from the campsite. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a love stay.
This is a lovely site with lovely views and good facilities. We would definitely recommend this site to others.
Stayed for one night and was perfect, close to town, clean showers and toilets
During our 3 night stay the site was fully booked. Since our last visit there has been more improvements made to the site with more beech hedging planted and new flower beds, which will enhance the site when mature. Although the site was fully booked, it was really quiet. Nice walks direct from the site, along the golf course and river, but many more to choose from. Staff are always friendly and happy to help.
