Fiona what a brilliant post, we 'found' Mossyard this year and after an hour booked again for 2018. No pub but with careful planning and a glass or two it's ideal.
I'm writing all your suggestions down and will have a look in the New Year.
Thank you

You're welcome! Lots more to see & do in D&G, but OP's brief was campsite views, campsite pub, dog.
You might want to get some 1:50,000 OS maps. Dash4it has them at about 3 for the price of what 2 cost in a shop. There are so many little castles (Orchardton is my favourite, round & cute) and abbeys and stone circles & Cairn Holy (the most atmospheric cairn I know) (all blue hatched on the map) & back C roads reward exploring.
-------------
2025=3 sites, 5 nights; 2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.

If you have a tablet or phone with you it's worth getting an OS digital subscription I think - £19.99 a year for all their maps digitally + extra features like 3D aerial mapping and route plotting. You can download areas for offline viewing. You can link it to GPS too if you're out walking - handy if you get lost!

Forget the technology and just get the Southern and Northern Scotland maps from Dash4it. It's so much more satisfying to spread out a map and see 'the big picture'.

Braemar is a CAMC affiliated site, so special rates for CAMC members. It's one of my favourite sites, though I've never had to book more than a few days in advance. The village only has a few small shops, so stock up before you go.
Take a walk round the Queen's Drive (this is the path used by Queen Victoria to visit her gamekeeper in his cottage - now only a few stones remaining). Continue on to get a great view over the Dee and Invercauld house. Plenty of wild deer, red squirrels and occasional Golden Eagle. Braemar castle is worth a visit.
