  • Peaceful site 10 minutes’ drive from Ballindalloch on Glenlivet Estate
  • Glenlivet Distillery and Cairngorms National Park five minutes’ drive
  • No-fuss grass pitches with showers; Thai café five minutes’ drive
With a handy (and jolly pretty) location on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park, Glenlivet Campsite sits behind the Public Hall on Glenlivet Estate. This simple site is surrounded by hills, trees and open Highlands skies and definitely has that peaceful 'in the middle of nowhere' vibe. Simple facilities include separate male and female shower and toilet facilities in the hall, with secure access 24 hours a day, a wifi signal and chemical waste disposal. Dogs are welcome to accompany you, but please keep them under control for the benefit of other guests. When you need a restock of supplies, head for the local convenience store in Ballindalloch (10 minutes’ drive), where there’s also a petrol station and post office, while the nearest restaurant/takeaway (five minutes) serves delicious Thai food. And if you’re a whisky lover, you’ll certainly never be short of something to do, as there are several distilleries within 10 minutes by car. If you happen to be visiting in August, perhaps you'd also like to attend the site's annual 'tea in the park' event. This lasts for a couple of weeks at the beginning of August and takes place in the Glenlivet Public Hall next door.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Nice and relaxing, very flexible emailed by owners straight away with all details. Got all the facilities you need for a campsite.

Disliked Could do with some maintenance, i.e. sort dripping taps and locks on cubicle doors.
The morning we left there was tree surgeons attending to the woods behind which made it noisy which helped us ack up quicker

Sebastian S.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Wonderful lonely place. We shared the site with 3 other tents. The yearly event 'Tea in the Park's happened at the same time and it was a wonderful place to meet the local community.
Facilities were simple but clean. Free Wifi was fast.
Glenlivet Distillery is about 1.3m away.
Thai restaurant 5min away is recommended.

Paul C.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Very quiet
The toilet facilities are adequate

Disliked Very expensive considering it is just a parking place
No electricity hook up
Very boggy when wet
It’s a football pitch not a campsite
Paying extra for a shower the pitch was already over priced

Recommend to friends Visit again

Nice quiet site, remember to bring cash.

Catriona C.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Very quiet campsite, nicely situated for access to distilleries, lovely walks and towns.

Disliked 20p for the shower, I am pretty cashfree these days so trying to get cash for the shower was a bit of a challenge. Fortunately, I was able to obtain some else that wasn't entirely ideal.

Also for those bringing animals, as this backs onto a farm, it is a little limited for local walks, but a short drive offers up options.

Local attractions

So, whisky drinkers, you have the choice of several distilleries to tour. Start at The Glenlivet (five minutes’ drive), famed for its single malt, and then head for Ballindalloch (10 minutes) for more touring and tasting. Other options for aficionados of the “water of life” include Aberlour (20 minutes) and The Cairn Distillery (half an hour). If you’d rather get your hiking boots on, the long-distance Speyside Way passes the site, and there are lots of walking routes on Glenlivet Estate (direct access); please see the visitor information at the front of the Public Hall. The estate also offers up a number of mountain bike tracks with cross country and free ride trails. For more gentle pursuits, there is a golf course at Ballindalloch Castle and Gardens, where fishing is offered in season. The Cairngorms National Park (five minutes) also has its share of outdoor activities, from climbing to gorge walking, and it’s also the foremost Dark Skies Park in Scotland; on clear nights you won’t even need binoculars to pick out the planets and constellations glittering in the inky-black heavens.
