Beloved Riverside Caravan Park Comes to Market in Retirement Sale

CCL Property Brings Cherished Moray Institution to the Market with Offers Over £375,000

Elgin, Moray — CCL Property is pleased to announce the sale of Riverside Caravan Park, West Road, Elgin, Moray, IV30 8UN — one of the region's most warmly regarded holiday and residential caravan parks. The property is being offered for sale as a retirement sale following many years of dedicated ownership and stewardship by the family. Offers in excess of £375,000 are invited.

A Park with a Proud History

Riverside Caravan Park has, for many years, been a cherished part of the Moray leisure landscape, established and built up with care by husband and wife owners Christine and John. Together, they created a warm, welcoming community that became a home away from home for generations of visitors and residential caravan owners alike. Sadly, John passed away some years ago, and Christine has continued to run the park with great dedication. The park is now being brought to market as a well-deserved retirement sale, marking the end of a remarkable chapter in the park's history.

The park's reputation for friendliness, cleanliness, and community spirit is evidenced by the many glowing reviews it has received over the years. Guests repeatedly praised the "friendliest of owners and staff," the "spotlessly clean" facilities, and the park's beautiful setting alongside the River Lossie. The property holds the prestigious title of #2 of 5 Campsites in Elgin on TripAdvisor, a testament to the high standards maintained throughout its ownership

Property Overview

Extending to approximately 6.1 hectares (15.07 acres), Riverside Caravan Park is a well-configured, established seasonal operation set within a peaceful riverside environment in the heart of Moray. The park currently accommodates:

·         40 residential caravan pitches generating stable annual ground rent income

·         28 touring caravan pitches let at £35 per night (with additional electrical hook-up charges)

·         A small campsite area suitable for tents

·         A shower block, washing area, and on-site reception and shop

·         Owner's chalet and residential caravan included in the sale

·         Approximately 4 hectares of additional amenity land with significant development potential, subject to planning consent

The park operates seasonally from April through to October and benefits from a loyal, repeat customer base that has underpinned consistent occupancy levels throughout its history. 

An Outstanding Location

Riverside Caravan Park's location is one of its most compelling attributes. Situated on the western outskirts of Elgin, the thriving market town and administrative capital of Moray, the park is ideally placed to benefit from the region's exceptional tourism appeal. Elgin itself offers a wealth of amenities, including independent shops, restaurants, and the iconic Elgin Cathedral.

The park sits at the heart of Scotland's celebrated Speyside Whisky Trail, one of the UK's premier visitor attractions, drawing visitors from across the globe to tour world-famous distilleries including Glenfiddich, Macallan, and Glenfarclas. The wider Moray coast — with its spectacular beaches, dolphin spotting on the Moray Firth, and outdoor pursuits including golf, cycling, and fishing — ensures a strong and sustained stream of tourism throughout the season.

Quote from the Selling Agent

David Pickering, CCL Property, comments:

"Riverside Caravan Park is a very special property, and it has been an absolute privilege to bring it to the market on Christine's behalf. She and her late husband John built something truly wonderful here — a park with real character, a loyal following, and a reputation that speaks for itself. The reviews over the years tell the story of a business run with genuine passion and care, and that legacy is reflected in every aspect of the operation.

"For the right buyer, this is a rare opportunity to acquire not just a thriving business with strong income and excellent development potential, but a park that is genuinely loved by its community. The stunning Moray setting, the proximity to the Speyside Whisky Trail, and the development land make this an outstanding proposition. I have no doubt it will attract significant interest, and I would encourage all parties to get in touch promptly."
