About Silverbank Caravan Park
Silverbank Caravan Park sits in a peaceful woodland setting on the banks of the River Dee, just outside Banchory and around seventeen miles west of Aberdeen. The location strikes a neat balance: close enough for day trips to the city, yet far enough to feel properly immersed in Royal Deeside, with Crathes Castle, Drum Castle and the road towards Ballater and Balmoral all within easy reach. Grass and hardstanding pitches accommodate tents, touring caravans and motorhomes, many with electric hook-up, and the park is an easy walk from Banchory's shops, cafes and the popular Bridge of Feugh salmon leap.
Facilities include a shower and toilet block, laundry and a small seasonal shop, with dogs welcome throughout. It's a sensible base for those who want to explore Deeside's fishing, cycling trails and whisky distilleries without being tied to a city campsite, though some visitors note the facilities can feel a little tired in places. The riverside setting and access to the Deeside Way make it a solid, quieter alternative for touring the valley.

What visitors say
Site is in a great location, Tesco within 5-10 minute walk. It's reasonably quiet considering it's beside a busy road, pitches are a good size and not too close together. Shower block is well maintained and bonus points for the showers not being the push button ones that stop every 30 seconds!

Lovely site. Friendly and helpful wardens. Immaculately maintained. Although toilet block dated and small, spotlessly clean. Lovely riverside walks for the dogs. Shops within walking distance. Really enjoyed our stay here

Immaculate site. All hardstanding. Facilities seem pristine, though I only ever use my own. Laundry £4 and £1 for 15 minutes drying. Extensive information in hut. Bus stop half a mile. Rectangular plan eastern section would have less passing traffic, so I'll select a pitch from that area next time. No direct access to river. A short walk along the road towards town takes you past the site then immediately left down a wide path to a long distance crossing path, a former railway to an easy track down to the water. Saw two juvenile herons fly upstream. Usual camping accessories in the office. No ice creams:- Boo. (No freezer). As always, staff most helpful and friendly. WiFi available. Came to see the Tall Ships.

Second time in five years to this very pleasant well organised site. Well located for walk into town and supermarkets. Great location next to Deeside Way with lots of b road cycling handy. Spacious pitches, great showers with super hot controllable water. Site managers pleasant and helpful. Road noise not intrusive.
