 We stayed here for over a week (a couple) in our tent and found the site to be perfect for our needs! Lovely flat, well-kept grass, spaced out pitches, lovely wooded surroundings with mountains overlooking us, close to lots of walking and within easy walking distance of the centre of the delightful village of Braemar - which has a great 'chip shop', Co-op, fantastic Outdoor shop and a range of good quality gift shops. We walked round the ruined castle in the village, but didn't find time to visit Braemar Castle itself (we were doing Munros).
Most of the site is clearly dedicated to motorhomes/caravans and camper vans but there was enough space for tents not to feel overwhelmed by the tin box people. One area for tents is car-free which may suit some. We stayed in another area which had electric hook-ups as we are becoming camping wimps in our 'old' age.
There were two toilet blocks, both in spotless condition and with sufficient facilities for the numbers of people using them (I didn't have to wait for anything). Even better, there is a drying room (for outdoor clothes to dry) and a proper boot drying room. (We really needed this one day!). The staff were always lovely and friendly and offered help if they could. The wifi was extra to pay for and a bit hit and miss - but it was the Olympics - so perhaps people were spending time checking up on it. A very international place. We really like Royal Deeside and will be back!

Spent an absolutely glorious week at Braemar caravan park (after being driven out of Loch Lomond by midges!). The wardens were delightful and really helpful in recommending local walks. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The site itself is spotlessly clean as were toilets and showers. Location is stunning and were also blessed with wonderful weather for most of the week. The resident ducks are a delight and it was lovely to watch the soaring buzzards! Braemar itself is a gem with the perfect amount of amenities. Were sorry to leave, so will definitely be back!

Very clean site & quite. Shower/toilet block very clean and plenty hot water. Wardens very nice.
A 10mins walk takes you into Braemar plenty places to walk if your into walking and scenery is lovely.

We have stayed here a few times & absolutely love it. The wardens are welcoming, friendly & helpful & the facilities are clean & warm. There is wifi which you pay extra for & which worked well while we were there. Braemar is a lovely village & only a short walk from the site. There is a Co-op & a cafe called 'The Bothy' which has great coffee & amazing views! This is the perfect place for a peaceful break or a lovely stopover while touring Scotland. We really like the drive from Blairgowrie to Braemar & then from Braemar to Ballater.

This site has excellent facilities, lovely staff and a great little camping area. It's clean and the shower block is lovely and warm. The laundry facilities are brilliant and the drying room is superb. Right by Braemar town and close to hundreds of walking trails. The only extra you have to pay for is wifi.

I have just returned from a 6 night stay with the dog.
Braemar Caravan Park is in an excellent location for exploring Deeside. A quick 5 minute walk takes you into the heart of Braemar with a variety of eating places and shops. There is also a butcher in the village - great for the BBQ! There are a variety of walks straight from the door, and with the Linn of Dee being just along the road which will take you into the heart of the cairngorms
You could pitch your tent where you liked and tent pitches were flat - although cars must be left in designated areas and not right to your text, which was no problem for me.
Site was quiet whilst I was there and fellow campers extremely friendly - and despite being in the middle of holidays was not over-crowded. Toilets clean and Showers were lovely and hot.
Wifi is available for a small charge, freezer available for ice packs and were happy to charge my mobile phone and camera battery to remember the fabulous scenery.
Staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful - they really couldn't do enough for me.
Overall a fantastic campsite, in an excellent location with fantastic facilities. Also good value for money.
Would I return - Absolutely!

This was our first visit to this site and we were welcomed by Emily and Dean who were very friendly and helpful. Our pitch was excellent and the whole site was immaculate with recycling and regularly emptied bins. It was very dog friendly with an excellent dog walking area. The shower block and toilets were spotless and there were no queues for showers when we were there. It was a lovely quiet site which we would definitely visit again. Emily was extremely helpful when we asked for information about walks and went to the trouble of photo-copying several local fantastic walks for us. We couldn't find fault with this site at all, it was fantastic.

We spent two nights at this campsite in July. The tent area was nice and flat, easy to put pegs in. Showers and toilets are excellent, so is the washing up area. There was plenty of hot water with no push button but just a normal shower which you can leave on as long as you need it, and you can adjust the temperature.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked and paid online in advance and had no trouble getting in. There is a playground, but it almost looks like it's under construction; it has a flying fox (great!) and climbing frame but that's it. I can only assume the owners are planning on adding more. It's good to have something at least!
Braemar itself is walking distance, even with a 4 and 6-year-old. There are some lovely walks in the area (buy a route booklet at the tourist information, I think it was £1. 40 - not expensive anyhow). We walked to Braemar Castle via the Lion's Face - very enjoyable and the castle was a great find. It's Scotland's only community owned castle and the volunteers give fantastic tours!
All in all I would recommend this campsite. Mind you, do take some midge repellent.

Spent a night at this site and never again ground was lumpy and they only have a tidy grass area for tents.
Toilet block was grubby and didn't feel clean.
Liked the dog walking area and it is 10 minute walk into braemar which is an great little village. Braemar and surround area is lovely.
Got a shock at the price as well not good value for money most expensive campsite I've been to.

We visited this site a couple of years ago and happy to say still a great place to spend a couple of days. Site is clean and well maintained. Staff friendly, welcoming and helpful. Toilet blocks clean and warm and plenty of hot water (just what is needed after a hard day walking). Small village is easy walking distance with a few local shops, co op for wine etc, no local bakery but excellent butchers selling just what is needed for the camping BBQ. Only complaint (and this is not the sites fault ) is that whilst there are loads of places to eat out none of the venues are dog friendly (one nice place up near the games area is listed as dog friendly and we had a drink there but this is a small bar / BnB and didn't cater to passing trade, we weren't there long enough to check if was possible to book).

Have just returned from our 10th annual visit to the Braemar Gathering. As has been our custom over the years, we stayed at the Invercauld Caravan Site. However due to the fact that the Caravan Club no longer runs the site, our booking was made with reservations regarding the cleanliness of the facilities and the overall management of the site. Our worries were unfounded! We arrived to an excellent welcome with the wardens more than accommodating regarding my husband's disability. We were given a site close to the toilet block, which along with the fresh and wastewater points were kept scrupulously clean. May I say a heartfelt 'thank you' for helping to keep our annual visit to Braemar an absolute pleasure.

What a lovely site, toilets and showers very clean. Its a short walk into Braemar which is a lovely little village. We went on our scooter to Balmorral, but the Queen was in residence so we couldn, t go round, so we went to Braemar castle which is well worth a visit. The tour guide was excellent. We also went to Glenshee, a most beautiful ride through the mountains. We would definitely reccomend this site, we even had WIFI.

A lovely site with friendly wardens. Just what we expect from a CC affiliated site. Good washrooms although on the older side but immaculately clean. The laundry facilities were good although very busy at times. There is a dog walking area on site which was great for us. Good children's play facilities. Braemar itself is just a few minutes walk from the site and is beautiful with lots of super gift shops to browse & 2 small supermarkets which were adequate for our needs. Also several hotels serving food & drinks. Some super walking in the area which our dogs loved. To reach other parts of the area you definitely need a car but even then everywhere is a long way away.

A good site with stunning views and good walks for varying physical abilities. The staff were very helpful which always a good start to a stay. The site is well located close to Braemar and the to the road from Braemar to Glenshee and beyond. Traffic noise (v. Quiet) was not an issue and the general ambience of the site was very good.
The facilities were very good though the water waste disposal facilities in one of the two blocks was difficult (didn't examine the other) and could do with an upgrade to facilitate water barrel filling and grey water disposal but at least all of this was under cover making life much pleasanter in inclement weather.
WiFi was excellent and very cheap (something a lot of the greedy sites should facilitate).
There is one small supermarket in Braemar (an easy walk from the site) but other small shops and a butchers are all in the same vicinity.
We would definitely stay again and would recommend the site
