Great base for exploring

This is a well located site with excellent facilities. It has large, well spaced and flat pitches, is quiet, despite the proximity to a main road and is well hidden. The staff are excellent, friendly and helpful. It was a super jump off point for many local attractions, facilities and outstanding countryside. A first class site.

A favourite site

The wardens work very hard to keep the site and its facilities spotless, and offer a friendly, helpful welcome - thank you! The pitches are all large/will accept awnings, some divided from the immediate neighbouring pitch by waist-high hedging therefore affording a little more privacy. Some road noise can be heard, inevitably, if you have one of the pitches furthest from the river however its not too intrusive. There is a local bus service just serving Banchory itself, running hourly during the day. Its possible to do the walk to Scolty Tower from the site though a mile and a half can be shaved off by taking the bus into Banchory centre to start the walk there - 15 mins to walk from centre to the entrance to the forest car park road, then 15 mins further to reach the gate where the various routes to the monument start - the routes require varying amounts of effort ;) Morrisons is a 10 min walk towards the town centre from the site, a very large Tesco 10 mins walk the other way.

Quality site

Yet again this site visit has been up to the standard set by two very capable wardens. Their hard work shines through and their friendly, welcoming approach adds greatly to any stay we have had during their tenure. The site itself suits us perfectly with large, level, hard standing pitches with sunshine being abundant in most of them if the weather allows. Silverbank, sitting above the R Dee, is on the edge of Banchory but within walking distance of so much, ranging from Tesco supermarket to NTS Crathes Gardens. Other numerous attractions within Banchory itself and wider Deeside can also be easily reached. Quality coffee shops abound in the area. This is a good site if you like cycling and walking.

Fab, friendly site!

Just back from staying 8 nights. We had fantastic weather which did help. The site is well laid out and well kept. We had pitch 23 which was great for shade and also quite near the dog walk. The dog walk is great for letting your dog roam. The facilities were very clean and adequate for the size of the site. We ate twice at the Scots Skinner bar and restaurant and the food was great with very friendly staff! This is a great base for exploring the many castles near by and also for going into Aberdeen which was very easy to get to. All in all a great site for everyone!

Another stay at Silverbank

This was our 3rd stay at this site over the years. Lovely location and great site for dog owners due to the onsite doggy field and close proximity to riverside walks and walk / cycle paths into Banchory. Coastal areas and beaches within an easy drive and lots of beautiful scenery inland.

Aberdeen tour

We stayed here for 7 nights June 2021, as the location is central to the areas we wanted to visit. The site is the usual well maintained, clean and tidy Club site. Wardens very friendly and helpful. The only adverse point to mention is noise, this is not a peaceful quiet site as it runs parallel to the busy A93 with heavy traffic early in the morning and there is a timber processing plant a few hundred yards away. For this reason alone, we would not plan to stay here again for more than a coup of nights.

Central to Deeside and handy for the coast.

Silverbank has always provided us with a range of pleasing characteristics. It is central to many places worthy of a visit, allows numerous cycling and walking options as well as numerous coffee shops and gardens. Banchory is an attractive town with a wide range of facilities. It is a quiet site which inevitably attracts members who are friendly. The site is well cared for with the Wardens doing sterling work to maintain high standards.

Great site.

Stayed here for two weeks 14th May onwards. We were only due to stay one week but our car had a problem and needed to be repaired in Aberdeen. The Wardens booked us in for another week which took the pressure off us. We enjoyed our stay very much, lovely walks from site and Banchory is a lovely little town. Bus route to Aberdeen which is worth a visit. Big thanks to the wardens for being so helpful during our stay. Definitely worth another visit.

Queen of Royal Deeside

Stayed here early to mid June for 2 nights and it simply was not long enough to do everything in the area. It is a Great site close enough to two major supermarkets and the superb shops, cafes, and attractions of Banchory can be walked or driven. There are also shops in squares off the Main Street worth frequenting and there are many fine looking pubs Fast, efficient, and very welcoming check in with latest safety advice. Large hard standing flat pitches, excellent dog exercise area. Well laid out site with plentiful amenities for water and grey waste dotted around. Centralised shower, toilet, CDP, washing up, and laundry block. Excellent site … well done.
