Speyside by Craigellachie Camping & Caravanning Club Site

Alan Rogers Review of Speyside by Craigellachie Camping & Caravanning Club Site

Speyside by Craigellachie Camping & Caravanning Club site is perfectly located between the fabulous Moray coast and the Cairngorms mountain range. Set on a gentle south facing slope and surrounded by trees, Speyside by Craigellachie will appeal to those looking for a relaxing base from which to explore the area. Some areas of the site have views of the countryside whilst other parts feel more secluded from the trees and hedges. Plenty of opportunity to try a local whisky with up to 50 distilleries nearby and whisky festivals during May and September. For walkers, the 84 mile Speyside Way connects the Moray coast with the Grampian Mountains which passes close by. The site has 75 grass or hardstanding pitches (some seasonal), most with electric hook-up.

N.B. Non-members are welcome and may join on site. Please speak to site staff for details and to check pitch availability before arrival.

Walks, wildlife and whisky are all in abundance in the area surrounding the site. You will find a real taste of the Scottish Highlands in this area of castles, distilleries and beautiful scenery. As well as being convenient for the coast of Moray Firth, Elgin, Buckie, Forres, Nairn, Fochabers and Spey bay are all within easy reach. At Spey Bay is the Scottish Dolphin Centre where you can enjoy dolphin spotting or take a walk along the mouth of the River Spey.
