We went to High Range in the October holidays.
Good points. Spotlessly clean toilets/dishwashing /laundry. All housed in one building. But the bad points were. Nothing to do for the children in the camp. No games room no wifi which is something in this day and age. Nowhere to put your grey dishwater. No place for motorhomes to dump their tanks, which is a bit strange. There is plenty to do at mcdonald resort nearby. And plenty activities in Aviemore just nothing in the camp itself

I would like to say thank you to the owners who really helped us out at the weekend. We had been promised a pitch at another site and was let down.
High range came to our rescue and offered us their 'emergency pitch' which actually suited us as we now have children.
The play park was right outside our tent which was handy. The Italian restaurant on site was very good as usual.
The facilities are very good, warm and clean.
This was our third visit and again no complaints.

We stayed here in August, was busy when we arrived, the guy in reception was friendly and very helpful, lots of local information available.
The pitch for the caravan was flat and mostly gravel.
For £25 a night for 2 adults, 4 children, 2 dogs and awning, with electric included was the cheapest around.
The site is well maintained, but I think the caravans were quite close together so privacy was not really available.
On the caravan part there wasn't really anywhere for the kids to play except on the road, though this wasn't a busy road, it was bit of a worry.
The noise from the A9 was a bit tiresome but we got used to it.
There is an itallian restaurant on site, which seemed packed at all times doing all you can eat for £14 a head.
The shower block was fairly modern and spotlessly clean with free showers, washing machine facilities, £3. 50 I think for a wash and dry. There were also vending machines with food, drink and other items like toothbrushes etc.
The site is well placed for walking into town which has ample shops, restaurants, bars and things to do.
My 5 year old went to the play area with the older children and said it was a bit babyish!
Overall I would return as the price is cheaper than most others.
I would recommend metal ground pegs for your awning and a long cable for your tv aerial.
I would stay again if I was in Aviemore.

The situation of the site is excellent. However the traffic noise from the A9 goes all night. I did not get used to it. The toilet area is OK but I thought that it was time that the shower curtails were replaced. This site has not be upgraded for a long, long time. The pitches for caravans are too close. Cannot get my head around why the toilet blocks are closed for 3 hours daily for cleaning. No other site closes for more than 1 hour in larger shower areas. Would not return as its too basic for me. The water points are too far away and I could not easily empty the waste water as you had to be able to lift the waste water collector. I could not and needed help. It should in my opinion be on the ground.

In my opinion, this caravan park is no more than adequate and is over-priced.
There is only one water point and that is by means of a secure entrance which is operated with a switch card. Chemical toilet and waste water disposal is similarly accessed. Unfortunately, these are reached by means of a fairly steep (though short) incline. Manoeuvring a 40 litre barrel of water back down the slope is not an entirely pleasant experience and may present as a significant obstacle for some.
Access to the toilet and washroom block is also by means of a swipe card which, if you're lucky, opens the door. If you're unlucky, then you have to wait for someone to come with a card that works or wait until someone comes out. My husband had the surreal experience of standing outside the toilet block at 10. 00pm with four other campers waiting for some one to open the door. (Much leg crossing that night!)
The toilet block is closed from 12 mid-day until 3. 00pm. I still don't understand why that should be and is unique in my touring experience. Access to a toilet during this time was possible by using the reception toilet (if no-one else was waiting!). Despite a three hour window for what I presume was for cleaning, only one of the 3 soap dispensers in the ladies' toilets had soap on each of the two days we were on the site.
Although the High Range complex looks well presented and attractive ie the reception area, the chalets, motel, even the tent area, the caravan touring park looks tired and a bit neglected.
Electric hook-ups were conveniently sited and operated without problem

This is a well maintained site, the facilities were clean and tidy. Entry into facilities block by way of entry card system which wasn't a problem. The block was well heated and showers were effective and water was hot, also liked the way the cubicle area was sufficiently spacious to not have to cope with wet flooring after showering. There was a good laundry facility with washers and dryers - didn't use them, but again the area was spotless. So too was the wash up area.
TV reception was by way of aerial connection on the ehu post, slightly patchy reception but watchable - so you'll need a reasonably long aerial cable for it.
The site does border the A9 road, but we were not pitched too close to it. The road noise wasn't intrusive and the location certainly made up for it. Located at the southern end of Aviemore we found it well situated for accessing shops and eateries as well as going for some lovely woodland walks. As for eateries, the Happy Haggis fish and chip restaurant and take away is excellent - quality and value and only 5 mins walk from the site. The on site restaurant was always packed out during our stay, so obviously a very popular choice.
Aviemore has all you need - supermarket, bakers, banks, rail station, bus services.
Will definitely return to this site as it is a great location, clean, efficient and friendly.
