Grantown Square and Museum“You're coming up on Grantown's town square, with Grantown Museum tucked behind the Town House. I'd stop if you enjoy small local-history museums; this is a compact, seasonal visit rather than a large collection.”

Guide
Grantown-on-Spey Caravan Park is a touring and camping site on the edge of Grantown, inside the Cairngorms National Park. It works best as a place to settle between town visits and days out in the wider park, rather than as a sightseeing stop. Touring pitches are available year-round; small tents are also accommodated, and glamping pods and a chalet give you options without a caravan or motorhome.
There are hardstanding and grass pitches, with grass pitches offered in summer. Electricity is included, while the super pitches add their own water and waste hookups and are at least nine metres wide. The serviced pitches also include a TV connection.
Greenery screens some pitches, which guests value for privacy but can make the standard pitches feel enclosed. Some super pitches have views toward the Cromdale Hills; don't expect the same open view from every pitch.
