Hi Paul,

Suggest 1. The Invercauld at Braemar (C.C.)

2. Glenmore in the Cairngorms near Aviemore. (Forestry Commission) Has new super toilet blocks.

Check there will be snow before you go!!!

Rothiemurchus Camp Site, between Aviemore and Glenmore is excellent. It's lower altitude than Glenmore, nearer the nightlife in Aviemore.

If you go to Braemar (in winter) consider your route carefully. The direct route from the south, A93 from Blairgowrie, would take you up the Devils Elbow (long since straightened), through the Glenshee Pass and DOWN to the Glenshee ski area. The road through the Pass is usually snow-covered and often shut, as it's actually the highest public road in the UK at 2200 ft. An excellent drive solo, but not recommended with a caravan!
