About Speyside Camping and Caravanning Club Site
Set on the banks of the River Spey at Cromdale, this Camping and Caravanning Club site gives easy access to Grantown-on-Spey a few miles away and to the Cairngorms National Park beyond. Pitches sit among mature trees with river frontage, and the site is a popular stop for anglers as well as families touring the whisky trail. The amenities block is well-kept, and there's a small on-site shop for essentials alongside laundry facilities.
Its position beside the Spey makes it a natural base for walking sections of the Speyside Way, and the surrounding roads give quick access to Grantown, Aberlour and Dufftown for distillery visits. Dogs are welcome on leads and families have a play area, though the site suits couples and anglers equally well. The Cairngorms-facing location means it works well for both whisky touring and walking or cycling in the national park.

What visitors say
We stayed for May half term on a jumbo electric with a large tent with two adults and a 6yo. On arrival Steve the manager was very welcoming and guided us around the beautiful site, he also popped back to see us on the second day to check everything was going well and gave us some excellent beach recommendations for the week. The site is situated in a flat field bordered by woods of alder, birch and willow which protected us from any wind and was a nature lovers heaven, in the week we saw/heard on the site; bullfinch families feeding in and around the tent, curlew nesting in the adjacent field, linnet, lapwing, blackcap and Willow Warbler song all day from the tent and the cherry on the cake was long eared owl just up the hill. Through the trees are stunning views over towards the nearby hills, forest and moors. On checking the reviews before booking, especially older ones were not favourable for the shower block. We found it to be absolutely pristine with good supply of hot water and a good family room - it was perfect for our needs. As for location - it's really in the centre of everything - 20-30 mins drive through pretty countryside and you are on some stunning beaches, Lossiemouth, Spey Bay (we had hours of dolphin watching from here - beach beautiful massive cobbles but not sandy, adjacent dolphin centre) and the best beach we visited was Findhorn recommended by the site manager. 40-60 mins the other way and you're in the centre of Cairngorm where we swam in lochs and went up the mountain on the vernacular railway. The nearby area is also super, very pretty village and much to do. Basically - we were blown away and cannot recommend this site enough, as such we'll be back for 2 weeks in the summer!

It's very very quiet. Hardly anyone here. (not that I'm complaining) Lovely thick grassy pitches. The ground isn't full of stones (good for tent pegs) The warden greeted us very cheerily and told us a bit about the history of the site, before taking us to our pitch. It's situated on an old POW camp. The toilets and showers are in an old stone building, but are very very clean! Hardly a cobweb in sight. The showers are good old fashioned ones. No need to keep pressing a button every 60seconds.(I hate that) It's close to about a billion different distilleries. So if whiskey is your thing. Its the place to stay. No play park, so more adult friendly and you'll need a car to get there m But we loved it. And would definitely come back.

Love the site and it's setting. The staff very welcoming and friendly. Toilets and showers very quirky set out but clean and well maintained. The laundry room was handy too.

A quiet site on the East end of the Cairngorms. Good facilities, spotlessly clean & tidy, helpful staff. Would definitely use again. 5⭐
