Hi, can anyone recommend any campsites in the Braemar area for a tent. I know of Braemar Caravan site, are there any more? We're not bothered about facilities - location, particularly for walking, is more important. Thanks in advance.

Apart from wild camping the nearest site to Braemar I think would be Ballater which is around 15 miles away.
After Ballater towards Aberdeen there are lots of sites but around Braemar just the one that you mentioned that I am aware of.

Wild camping - but that means no loos. Walkhighlands has an old (2010?) thread https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4901 which lists several places where tents are often seen.
Otherwise, I agree with VangoMan.

-------------
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.

Thanks. I'm not against wild camping but our tent is rather big and I feel it would be a bit too big to wild camp with.

C&C Club site at Tarland, Aboyne is a lovely site and not too far from Braemar.

Aboyne is between Banchory and Ballater, but is 27 miles from Braemar. Braemar is great for walking and the castle is also worth a visit. The village hasn't got a lot, but now the totally refurbished Fife Arms has reopened, the place will become much busier with coach tours.

A former shop in the "main street" received planning permission for conversion to a pub, but I'm not sure how that has progressed.
