Hi, can anyone recommend any campsites in the Braemar area for a tent. I know of Braemar Caravan site, are there any more? We're not bothered about facilities - location, particularly for walking, is more important. Thanks in advance.
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
Apart from wild camping the nearest site to Braemar I think would be Ballater which is around 15 miles away.
After Ballater towards Aberdeen there are lots of sites but around Braemar just the one that you mentioned that I am aware of.

Wild camping - but that means no loos. Walkhighlands has an old (2010?) thread https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4901 which lists several places where tents are often seen.
Otherwise, I agree with VangoMan.
I have camped in the Braemar site it has a lovely tent area and the staff and facilites are good. Its a great location for walking i to the village - walking routes in all directions!

Aboyne is between Banchory and Ballater, but is 27 miles from Braemar. Braemar is great for walking and the castle is also worth a visit. The village hasn't got a lot, but now the totally refurbished Fife Arms has reopened, the place will become much busier with coach tours.
A former shop in the "main street" received planning permission for conversion to a pub, but I'm not sure how that has progressed.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.
