  • Dog-friendly site within walking distance of the river Spey
  • Within half an hour’s walk of Aberlour and the Speyside Way
  • Surrounded by hiking and biking trails, with shops and eateries nearby
Whisky connoisseurs, hiking aficionados and all those touching down in Speyside for an active or relaxing break will be very well-based at Speyside Gardens Caravan Park. For starters, the dog-friendly site is in prime Speyside whisky country on the Malt Whisky Trail, with whisky distilleries within walking distance. For seconds, half an hour’s walk away is the Speyside Way, a 66-mile walking or cycling path along the river Spey. That also means that the river Spey is within walking distance of the site, and with that comes easy-going mornings spent salmon fishing, kayaking or wild swimming, before dining on something tasty (with a side of whisky perhaps) in the local villages. Aberlour, 25 minutes’ walk away, is known as the home of Walker’s Shortbread and has a whisky distillery. Craigellachie, half an hour’s walk away, has a further two whisky distilleries (whiskies are sold in the village shop there too, of course). This village has access to the Speyside Way and the gorgeous Craigellachie Bridge. Pubs, restaurants, a butchers and local shops are spread out across the two spots. With six acres to its name, Speyside Gardens Caravan Park really is a scenic spot. It’s within a Victorian walled garden home to a cluster of local wildlife, including a number of red squirrel residents. There are hiking, mountain biking and road biking routes all around the site too, which should be very good news for the active types.

Liked: Spotless clean both the campsite and the facility. Friendly welcome on our arrival.

Disliked: A dog barking near to us, not the campsite owners fault but yet again another irresponsible dog owner ( a lot of them about these days)

Liked: I had a wonderful stay at Speyside Gardens Caravan Park! The park is beautifully maintained, with spacious pitches and stunning surroundings. It’s the perfect base for exploring the Speyside area, especially if you enjoy whisky tours and scenic walks. The facilities were spotless and very well-equipped, and the staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The peaceful atmosphere made it a truly relaxing experience. I would highly recommend Speyside Gardens to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable, and beautiful place to stay. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Victorian walled garden gives this site a lovely feel, as well as keeping the wind out. Friendly welcome and an extensive choice of whisky available in the camp shop. Facilities were fine, clean and warm. Seeing a red squirrel running along the fence next to our pitch was fantastic.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Lovely site!! So peaceful and quiet. Kids had a brilliant time and already want to go back, which we will be sooner than planned. The showers and toilets where spotless and a great set up with the family bathrooms with a shower, sink and toilet which made it much easier with the space to sort the kids and myself easier. Great friendly staff at reception and all in all a brilliant place.

Disliked: Not booking to stay longer

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: Where do I start, we liked everything about this campsite, nice large fully serviced pitches, quiet clean site, friendly staff, lovely toilet block with showers and underfloor heating, what a treat. Lovely coffee from the wee shop. Walking distance to the local shops or a short bike ride. Close to the lovely Speyside Way and the whisky distilleries, so much to see and do in the area.

Disliked: Honestly nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

A little walking can get you to some real-good views from Speyside Gardens Caravan Park, whether it’s the river Spey or the Linn Falls (45 minutes’ walk), a wild swimming spot. Dufftown (10 minutes or an hour and half’s walk) is a little longer of a trek, or a short drive. Mad about its malt whisky, the village has plenty of distilleries and a whisky museum. In Elgin (25 minutes), there are more Scottish distilleries, of course. Save some time among your distillery tours to check out Elgin Cathedral and one of Britain’s oldest museums, which has been standing since 1843. While the whisky distilleries, walking trails and river Spey give Speyside visitors plenty to rave about, the Scottish coast is also within driving distance. There are two sandy beaches in Lossiemouth (35 minutes), along with the Moray Golf Club old course over the sea (a bucket-list item for many keen golfers).
