About Firbank Park
Enjoy pitching up on generously spaced out pitches nestled amongst four acres of mature Douglas fir, Scotch pine and oak trees. This small touring site is located directly next to The River Dee in Aboyne in the picturesque Cairngorms National Park. Overall there are eight electric hardstanding pitches, each measuring 8m x 5m, with 16 amp electric and water taps. Members of the Caravan and Motorhome Club can find six pitches in their area of the site, each spaced 20m apart, and non members can find two pitches in a separate field with 60m spacing. The site has easy access to an abundance of wonderful walks, cycle tracks and the local Munros right on your doorstep, perfect for exploring the great outdoors. Balmoral Castle is also just 20 minutes away, and Aberdeen is just under an hour. BBQs are allowed, but campfires are not, sorry. Dogs are welcome, with a maximum of four per pitch. The site does not allow tents.
