Very nice laid out site with plenty of space between pitches. The toilets are spotless and very well kept as most club sites. We found it very nice being just a short walk into the village of Braemar so you could have a nice morning stroll for bread papers etc. There is a large number of walks in the area long and short so something to suit everybody. The only small problem we found is that there is a large number of ducks on site which I know is nice but eating outside in your deckchair was not a good idea and also the amount of dropping was a problem if you like to keep your shoes clean. All in all a very nice site to have a nice quite relaxing time. And also when we stayed the site had stand in wardens who was a great laugh and very helpful.

This is our third trip to this site. We love it.
Everything is clean [spotless], tidy and well laid out. As the season is quieter, there were 10 less active pitches, but this led to there actually being more choice late on a Friday night. The wardens were lovely, polite and full of necessary info.
The local shops, galleries etc are great for a wander round. We also went further afield and walked to the pinch bowl [behind Mar lodge]. We went to Spittal of Glenshee for a worth while lunch. On the way back up to Glenshee we saw paragliders taking off and soaring round the top.
A visit to Braemar castle is well worth it and Lara [our German guide] was a wealth of info and even coped with our 9 year old son. Who loved all the ghost stories and the pit.
We will return again that's for sure.
We loved the ducks that were wandering round. They even seemed to laugh at some of our jokes! [Why don't ducks fly upside down?. 'cos they'd quack up!. From Calvin aged 9]

Site just on the edge of the village. Friendly welcome from the wardens and plenty of pitches to choose from. All hardstanding and a good size. Site seems fairly well sheltered.
Toilets / showers are old - but kept clean with plenty of hot water. Drying room is a great idea.
The village itself consists of a couple of shops and cafes, nothing to keep you entertained for more than an hour or so. The area though is full of things to do. Not far from Balmoral, miles of walking and cycling tracks and the River Dee is stunning. We found Ballater to be a slightly bigger village with a great cycle track down to Aboyne - part of route 195. In the other direction you have Glen Shee and the ski area. Two of the chairlifts run all year and the cafe does great food at very good prices.
Overall this site is a great stopover and would imagine extremely well used when the ski season starts.

Assistant wardens very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Fantastic scenery, excellent walks straight from the site.
Saw lots of red deer and a red squirrel (a big deal for us as we don't have deer where we live and only grey squirrels!)
Braemar only 5/6 mins walk away, Indian takeaway really good. Lin of Dee stunning. Shower block etc up to the usual CC standards and it was HEATED! Oh bliss in the rain.
The best bit - sad but true - the drying room! A real boon when it rains every day. It was the first time in 2 weeks I'd had dry walking boots and waterproofs. Would definitely go back again.

Braemar is a long way from anywhere but whichever direction you arrive from the scenery is gorgeous.
The campsite has wonderful views and is conveniently close to the town which is about 10 minutes walk away.
The site facilities were to a high standard and the pitches well maintained. However, we also noticed an unfriendly attitude but put it down to a bad hair day!
We ate out at The Invercauld Hotel. Our advice is do not do so. It is a coach tour stopover hotel the food was mass produced, poor quality and expensive. The other large hotel was fully booked (coach parties). The Bistro is alledgedly better qualty but we felt the prices were a bit high on the menu board - particularly as we both have small appetites.
Whilst staying at Braemar pay a visit to Balmoral (closed August and September as royals are in residence). You are not allowed into the main house but the grounds and gardens are delightful.
Beautiful area of Scotland. Lovely site location. Worth the visit.
