Date of Visit: August 2007 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Emma in Surrey 6 reviews from this member

 We arrived at the busiest time of year, and shortly after, the Camp Full sign went up.
Nevertheless, we found an excellent spot for our tent in the forest next to the stream, and not once did we have to wait for a shower or loo in the superb, new block. Absolutely spotless and completely brilliant! The site was not noisy, and although very busy, felt peaceful and pleasant. Easy walk to the local hotel which has a bar in grounds suitable for the less smartly dressed!

 Stayed at this site 4 years ago, enjoyed it then, the site was very clean with friendly helpful staff. clean facilities, quiet, secluded camping area. Visited the site again this year, only stayed one night but enjoyed it again.
The staff are still very friendly and welcoming. They have new toilet and shower facilities (since our last stay) which I would rate 5 star, very clean and tidy, well kept. Would highly recommend this camp site to anyone. Close to the town with plenty shops and things to see and do.

Reviewer: Callumsnona 2 reviews from this member

 This is a lovely site and one we come back to time and again. The downside though is that its a first come first served basis, no booking in advance which means you could turn up to find no room at the inn so to speak, so if travelling any distance could be quite an inconvenience. We have been lucky so far in that we have got on but it was close last time as we arrived after my sister to be told site was full despite my sister telling her we were enroute. The warden wasn't happy about it but let us stay anyway. As it was the site remained half empty so have no idea why it was claimed to be full.
The new toilet/shower block is lovely. Kept very clean though some other campers i'm afraid are quite happy to walk away leaving a mess behind them rather than make sure they have left it as they found it. The hotel a few yards down the road has a swimming pool that my nieces had great fun in.
Aviemore itself is only minutes away with plenty to do. Plenty of shops and the Cairngorm Hotel is the friendliest place in town.wonderful staff. But for me its the peace and quiet of the site itself (and the red squirrels) that keeps us coming back.

Reviewer: Billy coutts 15 reviews from this member

 Got a friendly welcome here even though we arrived late on Sunday evening. Pitched up in wooded section large enough pitch but tricky to maneovre into. New toilet blocks very modern and clean but wouldnt like queing for shower in busy months as seperate room contains all shower / sink / toilet! Easy walk up to Coylumbridge Hotel with amenities including fun house and mini golf for kids and access to swimming pools but all bit pricey if non resident. Aviemore is 5minute drive with its now much improved look and facilities. Stayed for 3 nights but still enjoyed the new Aviemore so much again we stayed on nearby as this site fully booked rest of week.

 Fantastic new toilet block with 8 Shower/toilet and sink units, very clean with swipe card entry. Camping in the pine wood great with plenty of privacy. Staff on site very friendly and helpful, no Pub within walking distance was the only down fall. Will be back as soon as possible.

 Stayed here last week, Friday and Saturday night.

Superb site right on top of the Cairngorm mountain range and lovely forest, nearby shop was useful and the toilet blocks were hotel standard. But the problem was:

Last Saturday (16th Sept) was our last night of a three week Scotland tour, so we decided to pop out for a drink. The following day I admit we overslept by a few hours! I found the woman receptionist was very hostile, even though we had no problem at all with understanding our deposit was lost, all we wanted to do was hand the swipe card back and say sorry, pay and extra if necessary and leave.

Such a shame as this site is great with everything you would need, but ruined by this woman's terrible attitude, Ive never come across anyone like this at a campsite, even though I'm admin on a well known walking website and travel all over the British Isles.

Reviewer: B16ave 1 review from this member

 Just back from this campsite and it was a tourers dream site. Firstly the receptionist was FIRST CLASS and very friendly, she let us go onto the pitch and check out the area before we set up for 10 days. The site is very well laid out and there is plenty of room on each pitch(you are not in each others awnings).

The toilet block is spotless and very modern(with a swipe card entry system) We found they were always cleaned to a very high standard and the showers were just bliss. It felt like you were in a real toilet block not cubicles next to each other. I would give this a 5 star rating.

The area around the camp site is very easy to navigate around and there is lots to do within a 10 min walk.(Fishing, Pony treking, Horse riding, good cycle paths( or walking), Grass sledging, Windsurfing, Sailing and an indoor activity centre (the list can go on and on)

To sum up our 10 days here is simply to say 10 out of 10 for this camp site and we will be going back again and again !

Reviewer: Pezzer01 1 review from this member

 Fantastic site situated within woodland/forest. Very helpful and welcoming staff at any time of day/night. New toilet and shower unit facility on a swipe card system was a life saver from the cold damp weather especialy to warm up the children.

You might have to book in warmer weather but we just turned up on the off chance and got a good choice of pitches for our 3 man, 4 man tents and no charge for the 3*3 mtr gazzibo. 


Date of Visit: August 2005
Reviewer: Strazzers 2 reviews from this member

 Given the location, this should be a grat campsite. Sadly the place lacks personality and one of the two facility blocks is very poor - smelly and mouldy. In three days, I never once saw the wardens out and about.

We had a nice big hardstanding overlooking the main front green - nice location, but meant we were a long way from the new facilities. The ones beside us were simply the worst I've come across (once you got past the heavy door and combination lock).

Did meet some people who swear by the place, but I won't be going back. Shame really, as this is one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland with loads of walking, cycling and activities minutes from this campsite.

Reviewer: Kennydunbar 1 review from this member

 I have been to this site a few times over the last 8 months and really enjoy it.

The facilities are great and they setting of the tent camping area is tranquil. only problem, which doesnt really bother me, is the limited space between trees....however this adds to the enjoyment (feels like your really roughing it!) They will no doubt see us numerious times in the nest few months.

We came here in our motorhome and it was £15 with elec and two kids. I thought that was really good as the toilet block was heated!!! The site is lovely - we were round a green which the kids played on all the time. Other tents were in the woods which were lovely and full of birdlife. They emphasise that this is a quiet site which is fine for us but I think they would be strict about this if you were making a racket after 11pm. We only stayed for a night on out tour but noticed that in the area itself you try out a sleddog experience, clay pigeon shooting, pony trekking, fishing and skiing. There area also wildlife watching tours. So plenty to do!

Although some caravanners deliberately leave the telly at home when they go away, many others don't, and so this site has an added plus, a tv aeriel hook-up at each electric hook-up position. As the reception in the area is pretty awful, this is a major plus.

This site now has a new shower/toilet block. 6 Showers all in private cubicles with toilet and washbasin + other toilets and a wash-up area.
Really nice, hope it still looks as good after a seasons use. 


Reviewer: Frances Clark

This campsite is very clean and the tents are pitched amongst the trees.
The ground was a bit hard but we managed to get our tent pegs in ok.
The shower block catering for the campers is a bit inadequate as there are only 2 female and 2 male showers. When we were there the site was full both nights and it was a long wait in the morning to get a shower!
