  • 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.

Great, clean site, helpful staff. Spacious pitches, modern facilities. Ideal Speyside base, nice walk to Aberlour. Some late-night noise, no dedicated dog spots. WiFi at reception only.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked An excellent site. Staff were friendly and welcoming.
Pitches were well kept and well organised.
Toilets /Bathrooms etc were cleaned regularly and were of a high standard.
The location is outstanding and well placed to explore Speyside and the Moray area.

Disliked Very little to complain about. Perhaps the lack of WiFi on the site would be an issue for some. This said, the mobile signals available there were strong and consistent, so wasn’t really a problem for me personally.

3 bedroom static caravan

Liked I was so impressed with this campsite. For such a reasonable price, I wasn’t expecting everything to be as perfect as it was. The staff were welcoming and helpful, the caravan was immaculate, and the facilities were excellent throughout. The location made it even better — peaceful, convenient, and beautiful. I had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and would happily return.

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).
