My husband and myself love this place all are friendly and that includes the campers so nice . Toilets and showers best ever. 5 mins from town really lovely. We went to the balmoral pub had food it was amazing service and amazing food . Told our family they said is it worth an hour's drive. Absolutely 💯 percent yes. We will be back for sure going there for few drinks tonight 😀.

Despite it being on our doorstep, it has taken a while for us to visit here. We've missed a great place! The pitches are generous in comparison to elsewhere, in a beautiful, incredibly peaceful, setting. The facilities were very well maintained, and not too busy, despite the site being full. Couple that with the ready access to the town, and all the walks/hikes/cycling around.

For my first camping adventure (66yr old) I could not have chosen a better camping site. Beautiful location amid fantastic scenery and access to a variety of wonderful hikes and trails. Staff are super friendly and the facilities such as toilets and showers are second to none. Spotlessly clean and extremely well maintained. Located on the banks of the river Dee and a couple of minutes walk in to the centre of Ballater with its lovely shops and places to eat. Fully intend to return later in the year. Well done Ballater staff! Vince Jones Arbroath

This has to be one of the best parks I have been to.Everything is immaculate.This park is situated 5 mins walk to Ballater centre where there is everything you need pubs, bike shops, butchers and a coop.We used the butchers often it was superb also the Chinese was excellent 👌. Dog walks there’s one from the site called the riverside walk it’s around 2 miles and brings you back into Ballater, it follows the edge of the golf course. MTBiking as I previously mentioned there’s bike shops here and if you go on Komoot and search the campsite there’s lots of routes leave directly from here.Theres also bike storage next to the site that’s secure but looks like it’s council run.
