  • 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 tent campsite

Liked Really lovely, quiet area to camp. Close to heaps of walks and activities. Information board with different walks in the area was helpful as well.

Disliked Only negative was that there was no proper washing up area. But there was an outside tap so wasn't too bad.

Peaceful, quite and simple.…

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Very clean, well kept facilities, reasonably priced and very quiet when we stayed. Enjoyed the flexibility of no fixed arrival and departure time which was helpful as we had a long days walk to do. The surrounding area of Glen Livet is super and the distillery is only 10 minutes walk away.

Disliked Nothing

Beautiful site with super views. Clean shower and toilet block. Good communication…

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.
