 We absolutely loved our 3 night stay. The site’s location is perfect being 5 minutes walk from the village.
There are some wonderful walks from the site and the village has a good selection of eating venues.
The Fife Arms was fabulous and their staff are lovely. Our dogs were made extremely welcome in there.
At the moment 2 hotels are closed - The Invercauld Arms is under massive refurbishment and is not due to open until 2024. It has the same owners as The Fife Arms so it’s likely to be amazing. Braemar Lodge has been razed to the ground after a recent fire and it could be a while before it is restored as it is a listed building. Braemar castle is also closed at the moment clearly undergoing building work as it is covered in tarpaulin.
We loved our visit to Balmoral castle.
In summary this is a superbly located site.
The only negative was that we couldn’t choose our own pitch.

A great stay at Braemar, on arrival we were greeted by the friendly warden, who explained all the facilities and directed us to our pitch. Only 1 toilet block was open due to the time of year.
The toilet block was nice and kept clean but the door kept jamming open on the floor and made it very cold inside. Drinking water from from inside the block or from a small shed inside the closed block, due to frequent freezing in winter.
During heavy snow the wardens were out clearing the roads. There are endless good walks in this area and the village is well served with shops and Cafes and bars, with a coop convenience store.
We will be back.

Braemar Caravan Park is absolutely splendid on all counts.
Its location is second to none, surrounded by mountains and woodland, but just a few minutes from the lovely town itself.
Facilities are plentiful and scrupulously clean. Ideal for those wanting peace and quiet and easy access to delightful walks in all directions.
We have spent many happy days here in the past and will certainly be back soon!

The upside; Good location, a few walks direct from the campsite.
Dog friendly.
You can walk into the village.
Good pro-active staff who are considerate of the area of the site and its relation to the environment.
The downside; none.

Good welcome, clear and level tent pitches near the toilet blocks. The blocks themselves were clean and well kept.
Could have done with a little more dishwashing sinks but half the point. If camping is to chat to people, isn’t it?
Short easy 5 min walk to the village and pubs/cafes/shop etc

We’ve stayed here many times previously and the site is as good as ever. Although the site was fully booked, we never had to wait to use any of the facilities.
We love the at that the site is surrounded by trees and offers both protection from the weather and a degree of seclusion but still allows for a view up the glen.
We’ve stayed here in mid December too with lying snow and the shelter from the trees is to be welcomed.
Lovely clean facilities and friendly staff. And sn easy walk into town for a couple of bars and food shops.
Try the Queens Drive walk for a nice venture into the forest.

Excellent site and facilities. Very clean and well organised.
Pitches well spaced out and great view up the glen.
Close to village centre and forest walks.

A nice site, close to village. Having travelled round Scotland using several campsites (all in tier 2), it was most annoying to find we weren't able to use the site amenities that we had paid for.

This was one of our favourite sites, when it was run by the Caravan Club. We stayed there last year for the first time since it became a private site. The weather was atrocious, so wet the site was flooded.
We weren't using the site facilities, due to Covid but every water point on the site, except the ones at the toilet block, was out of action. Therefore, from where we were pitched it was a very long haul, in the pouring rain, to fetch water for showers etc.
It also meant everyone was using the same water points. This made no sense at all and has put us off returning, even though we love the area.

Beautiful site with excellent facilities, and easy walking distance to the village which had good choices of places to eat and drink for everyone.
Would certainly stay there again. Oh great staff as well, couldn't have been more attentive.

Fantastic campsite in a great setting.
Very friendly staff and the facilities were good even with Covid restrictions in place.
To be honest I can’t criticise anything, will certainly be back.

Our favourite site, and has been that with our family for years due to its location. Spent one night here on our way home from a tour of Scotland, where the facilities in every site we visited were open.
Yet, here, the toilets and showers were closed to all but those in the pods and tents.
The warden said that people were not social distancing within or around the toilet blocks! I stayed here 2 months ago, and I never saw that but it was obvious there would be problems, they had closed half the showers and cubicles, but were filling every pitch they could.
Won't be back soon, unless they start to treat their customers a bit better,

We’ve stayed here quite a few times and it’s still brilliant as ever. Staff always had time to speak to everyone who was passing the reception and their always busy doing something.
Just recently bought a touring caravan, motorhome we had previously.
We booked pitch 84, for a novice reversing a caravan probably not the easiest pitch to start learning to reverse to be honest. That being said, I was given assistance to push it onto the pitch so it wasn’t too bad, maybe a little embarrassed 😳
That being said, we’re on the waiting list for a seasonal pitch and we’ve got everything crossed we get one soon as we just love the area and the site itself
