Ballater Caravan Park

Alan Rogers Review of Ballater Caravan Park

Ballater Caravan Park is near the pretty conservation town of Ballater, the principal town of the eastern half of the Cairngorms National Park. Located in the heart of beautiful Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, it is an ideal base for exploring this beautiful part of Scotland, and it is a great favourite of both walkers and cyclists. 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. The park is located half a mile from the centre of Ballater, with its variety of shops and restaurants. 

This quiet and beautiful location, combined with so many facilities within easy walking distance, makes the park very popular with its visitors, especially those using motorhomes. The site has 75 pitches, 35 hard-standing with 16-amp electric hook-up, 13 fully serviced hard-standing, 5 grass tent pitches with electricity and 5 grass tent pitches without electricity. Earliest arrival time 12.30 pm

Surrounded by hills and delightful scenery, visitors to Ballater Caravan Park will quickly recognise why Queen Victoria referred to Royal Deeside as her ‘Dear Paradise’. Near Ballater lies the Royal Castle of Balmoral, a 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. Today, many shops display Royal Warrants, and the town celebrates Victoria Week annually in August.
