High Range attempts to provide for all visitors to Aviemore – hotel, self-catering chalets, campsite and restaurant. It must have been a great place twenty or thirty year ago, but i’s hey-day is seems to be well gone. I felt like I had been sucked back to my childhood caravan holidays (not the best memories) and when I’d paid for a one night stopover, I felt like I had handed over all my pocket money – very steep at almost £30 (plus £5 cash deposit for the swipecard for the facility block). Like other reviewers, I wasn’t given much info (except for a proud explanation of the swipe card to keep non-residents out of the facilities). I suppose we were just pleased to find a last minute pitch on a Friday evening … but in hindsight I would have kept on driving out of town if necessary.
Our pitch was just behind reception and nicely nestled in the trees, but incredibly sloping and not good for campervans/motorhomes … first use of two ramps under a single wheel! Thankfully the road noise wasn’t too bad as we were furthest from the A9.
The facility block had load of loos, but only 3 showers which would mean a queue at key times. Was a bit taken aback to see the number of vending machines (though some were out of order) – female hygiene products and ‘massagers’, overpriced choc bars, cigarette lighters and so on. Don’t miss a sales opportunity guys! Unbelievable that for the pitch rate, they can’t be bothered to install a drive-over drain … or even provide some guttering to allow the many motorhomes/campervans using the site to hook up to the drain which is inside a cupboard – a tenner a bit a basic DIY would fix that.
Clean and tidy campsite. Warm and spacious shower block . 5 minutes walk into Aviemore. Bit pricey.
Stopped while on a long drive for lunch (both ways of my journey) the service was great and very helpful to me being a mum woth 2 young children to deal with. I will be going back.
Lovely place. For nature lovers.
Lovely facilities, very clean and everything you need. Friendly staff. Nice Location, handy to walk along to shops, pubs and cafes in the town of Aviemore.
Would've given 5 stars but just felt there was a lack of space between the pitches.
Nice location, decent clean rooms and great views!
The Italian restaurant is a good value-for-money option for buffet only.
