Welcome

There are lots of spots on the A93 running south from Braemar. And stopping at the ski centre should be absolutely fine.

Hi David,
No problem overnighting on the Glenshee Ski Centre car park. We do it regularly and the staff there are very friendly - they even fill up our drinking water containers on request. The toilet block remains open 24hrs too, so cassette emptying is no problem.
Have fun,
Jim

Yes, we found them great too. They prefer it if you let them know you're staying overnight: cars left in the car park often get checked out to make sure someone isn't stuck up on the hill. If it blizzards overnight, tie a red rag to the aerial so the snowplough doesn't shunt you in the morning!

we stayed there last friday night with no problems, was only about minus 5 which is warm for up there!

From Scotsbob.
Glenshee is in my backyard. It has a very large parking area, BUT it can be very stormy/loads of deep snow/ and very cold, frosty so drain all water tanks, keep couple 5lt fresh water containers INSIDE veh. Forecast for this weekend (4-7th Feb) is very high gusty winds, and ample snow. If coming from south come up via Perth/Blairgowrie as Tayside Roads Dept make better effort to keep the road open than Grampian does.
You can always Google the road , and check the Glenshee webb site for up to date info.
Braemar is approx 7mls down road for groceries and fuel.
