    A really great find, and it's so good that places like this do allow over night stays. There are bins but no other facilities. aA few reviews said that there were toilets, but these were closed when we were here unfortunately.

  • 4/5

    Nice location for the night. The hike out to the Cairns was fantastic and well worth doing! The MH spaces aren’t level and IMO was a little expensive, that said, we had a peaceful nights sleep and are thankful carparks like this allow overnight stays!

  • 5/5

    7mtr moho, no problems parking overnight in one of the 6 dedicated spaces for the night. we found it to be peaceful at night with the faint sound of the river. 24hr parking was only £10. we arrived at 2.30pm and nabbed the last spot. moho spaces appeared to come and go pretty quick during the day, however at least 4 moho's used the empty car spaces after 6pm and gone before visiting hours.

  • 3/5

    Nuit calme. Parking pratique pour visiter le château de Balmoral, arrivés à 18h pour visite le lendemain du château, 10 livres les 24h sans service. Accès à la rivière "Dee" très jolie. Possibilité de plusieurs randonnées sur le domaine de Balmoral.

    Great wee spot to spend a night on way back to Dunfermline. Only 2 hours and the drive south is spectacular! Not signal with giffgaff/O2 at the designated parking spots but fine if you have a little walk to the main road. Only 6 spaces available in the parking area before the bridge but there is an overflow park park next to the toilet/post office with plenty of space

    So Klasse, dass hier auf 6 Plätzen übernachten möglich ist! Früh kommen ist wichtig, ist schnell alles voll. 10 Pfund für 24 Stunden.

  • 4/5

    Big bays for campers/moho’s. Good signal on EE, none on o2. Was hoping there’d be a bit more to see of Balmoral without paying the £16pp entry as was only passing by, i.e. a gift shop or something by the entrance but nothing. Whisky shop/distillery and cafe a mile down the road. I have never seen a road with as much roadkill as the A93? :(

  • 4/5

    Parking no nivelado en la zona de motorhomes. Pagamos £10 por dormir y poder hacer la ruta al día siguiente. Puedes pagar £10 por 24h o £5 si no quieres hacer noche.

  • 4/5

    Good for a one night stop on the way up to the north coast or Aviemore. Great little track to the river.

  • 4/5

    parked in a campervan spot so we could walk around the grounds. cost 5 pound for day parking.

  • 4/5

    No facilities but fantastic surroundings. Loads of Cairn walks with dogs. Fabulous cafe, food made with all fresh produce, about 5 minutes past church up the road. The Castle grounds are open during November & December on Wed, Sat&Sun with free admission!!

  • 2/5

    Ruhiger und sicherer Platz für den Zwischenstopp. leider ist der Zugang zu Balmoral Castle z. Zt. geschlossen, noch nicht Mal aus der Ferne zu sehen. Aber "The Highlander Bakery" 200 m weiter entschädigt mit den besten Scones!

  • 1/5

    Also der Stellplatz ist ganz ok. Vorteil an diesem Parkplatz ist, die Toiletten sind derzeit 24/7 begehbar Nachteil man braucht einen „sehr guten Humor“ um sein Geschäft dort verrichten zu wollen. 4 Dixi WC stehen jetzt da, wo Männlein wie Weiblein die gleichen benutzen. Trinkwasserhahn ist weiter verfügbar.

    £10 for 24 hours nachine takes card, gutted the castle wasn't open as the Queen was in residence but the coffee shop was open, we walked up to Albert's cairn, check website for castle opening times. carpark is flat loads of spaces, we fit in a normal bay (mwb sprinter). it's a very tidy area with police patrol so safe and quiet after 10pm. no facilities apart from parking and a bin for glass.

  • 4/5

    5£la journée, 10£ les 24h. Nous avons fait la super rando gratuite des cairns. Belle vue sur le château du cairn du roi Léopold. Pour trouver le départ de la rando, marcher en direction de la distillerie, il y a une entrée avec un policier sur la droite, tourner à gauche devant le poste de sécurité. Il y a en face de cette entrée, 3 places de parking gratuites pour des vans ou des voitures.

  • 3/5

    Nous avons avons passé une nuit très calme et l’emplacement était pratique pour nos 3 filles car nous sommes rentrés tard de la visite du cairn du prince albert . Les seules poubelles à disposition sont pour les bouteilles en verre . Vu le prix une poubelle classique n’aurait pas été de trop .

  • 4/5

    £10 for overnight in the car park. Close to toilet block - though it’s only open 10am-1600 but there is a tap on the outside wall with drinking water. Highly recommend- very quiet; fall asleep listening to the Dee. Take your dinner down to the Dee -go for an evening walk. We stayed about 20hrs. The £10 is for 24hrs. A novel and lovely spot. Very quiet - apart from the river :)

  • 5/5

    Für den Zweck und die eingeschränkten Services super! 10 £ bis Folgetag 17 p.m. (12 h), Abfall, sonst nichts gesehen/benötigt.

  • 5/5

    Blue badge holders used to be free—no longer. Is the Queen hard up?

  • 2/5

    Given the wealth of this estate it’s shocking that that they charge £10 a night and offer no toilet or rubbish bin. Also no 4G on EE. Wouldn’t stop here again.

  • 3/5

    Disappointed that they have now doubled the charge to £10 and still not as much as a bin. Great place to stop but if you’ve got the cheek to charge £10, at least provide a bin or water.

  • 3/5

    It’s £10 for overnight, actually 24hrs paid at machine. No facilities not even a dog waste bin. Expensive for what it is, a car park, very little room between vans. Not sure how or if it’s checked but as you can imagine there are cctv cameras everywhere. A large lorry with trailer pulled in at 7am, otherwise quiet overnight.

  • 5/5

    Excellent place to stay BUT no rubbish bins at all, toilets close at 6pm. we arrived early and climbed to Prince Albert's Cairn so paid the £3 parking (meters only takes coins but can pay by card in a few places including post office). does state you need to pay to park overnight but doesn't say a price or how to...the local police patrol past pretty much all night, but no issues at all.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here 23/05/21 enroute to our NC500 road trip, never been in a Motorhome before so was quite nervous about parking up somewhere. Shouldn’t have been, very quiet. Lovely nights sleep and free which is the most important bit

  • 4/5

    Stayed overnight on 17th October. Some confusion of what the overnight payment should be as signage isn’t clear, we bought a day ticket as we left early in the morning. Clean, quiet and amazing scenery. We walked around all the family cairns. Great overnight stay and would highly recommend. Toilets and water not available at this time.

  • 5/5

    Great that they have this available. 5 or 6 spaces. £3 from 8am-6pm August to November I think it was, free other times. Need to pay with cash.

  • 4/5

    Great spot, we spent 3 nights there, toilets open from 10h to 16h, whisky distillery near and the pyramid. Water tap at the back of the toilets. No bins around the car park.

  • 4/5

    Sehr ruhiger Platz, direkt vor dem Eingang zum Schloss gelegen. Saubere Toiletten der Touristeninformation in der Nähe.

  • 4/5

    Parking gratuit, calme. Les sanitaires sont à proximité ainsi qu'un point d'eau. Pas possibilité de services WC.

  • 5/5

    Parking is now free, still have to pay to visit castle and no using the trees as a toilet

  • 2/5

    £2 for car, £4 for Motorhome per visit plus £6 per night, strangely enough from August to November, beautiful Scottish autumn?

  • 3/5

    Pratique car emplacement fait exprès. Pas vu de tarif affiché. Calme et relativement plat.

  • 5/5

    Parking du château très calme sans service quelques places réservées au camping-car. Très bien pour une nuit
