A scenic view of Banff

The best time to explore Banff and the wider Aberdeenshire region is during the summer for pleasant warm weather and long daylight hours. The ever-popular Turra Show typically takes place in early August and is well worth a visit for a glimpse of local culture. May and September offer a good alternative for dodging the peak season crowds. Winter in Aberdeenshire is typically wet and can often be stormy.

Hipcamp has the perfect pitch to match your camping style.
