A great site for staying at if your in a motor home, it's right on the doorstep of the town.
Also very handy for touring in the Borders. Have visited many times and we are never disappointed with the welcome we receive from the Wardens.
Very clean showers and a well maintained site. The local pubs are very friendly to the tourists and the local shops a welcome change from the 'normal high street'

I really cannot add much regarding the site as it maintains the excellent standards as previously stated.
It is however worth a mentioning the town and facilities. The butchers shop about 200 yards from the site supplies meat of the highest standard but more importantly it supplies ready meals in a variety of nationalities and I can thoroughily recommend them. These are ideal for us 'transients'. The bakery a few doors away has a huge variety of breads etc.
There are numerous cafes and restaurants (some a bit pricey) in the town.
Bus services are available from outside the site to almost anywhere in the borders ie. Berwick and Edinburgh and all points in between.

Nothing more to add to my review - previous reviews have said it all. We have had a fab week in a lovely quaint town with plenty of places to walk, relax, eat and drink.
The most important comment I would like to add is the helpfulness and friendliness of Ian and Teresa, relief wardens -they were outstanding - so friendly, helpful, warm, cheery and couldn't do enough for you.
Nice to see that Melrose has managed to maintain itself as a small town which has successful small businesses and not been overtaken by the usualy supermarkets.
Looking at previous reviews I think we may try to book up for New Year as I can imagine this town coming alive. Cant wait for our next visit.
I almost don't want to review this site so that people don't find out about it!

Stayed here for two nights can see why its always busy. Great clean site a 2 min walk and your in the town. Had a walk round the shops only shop I didn't see was the candle stick maker. Had lunch in the ship inn it let us in with the dog. The dog walk on site was a bit muddy. Sat and sun morn you can watch kids playing football and rugby or you can watch melrose play rugby. The wardens nice and always busy about the site. Cant wait to go back.

As always this site was busy and easy to see why when its so well kept and literally in the village. We did notice the 'Site Full' remained up at all times - despite there being 4-5 pitches empty every night?
All facilities are normal high CC standards. Good sized hardstanding pitches with grass between and some hedging. To the left the pitches back onto the gardens of local houses and are a little overlooked. To the right more open but the school is there so a little noise in the day from playgrounds and in the evenings from the playing fields. The best pitches are at the top of the site or in the middle if you want quiet and privacy.
Melrose is wonderful. Plenty to do with the Abbey, several antique and gift shops to browse in, a number of hotels and so much gorgeous food to buy from the butchers and bakers in town.
Several good walks and cycle rides in the area. A walk along the Tweed is a must and less than 2 miles of easy cycle or walk takes you to the restored Leaderfoot viaduct - incredible structure.
Hard to fault this site perfect for the immediate area but a great base for exploring further into the Borders.

Beautiful little site in the Scottish borders. The pitches are lovely and spacious, hard standings are very flat. The pitches are separated by grassed areas and hedges.
The site feels very relaxed and spacious. Behinds there is a dedicated dog walk - sadly we don't have dogs any more but it looks excellent! There is a play area just outside the site which kept our 5 year old entertained.
Melrose offers everything you need including butchers, bakers and a co op/Spa literally 1 minute walk away from the site. There is an entry/exit barrier to the site controlled by a contact key card.
The toilets/showers are as you would expect from a caravan club site - immaculate! You are given 2 keys for the toilet blocks as they are kept locked. The staff were friendly and helpful on our arrival.
There is wifi access on site. Minor niggle is that I prefer camping & caravan site wifi as you pay for 1 day, 7 days or a year, whereas caravan club sites sell you it in hours - we bought 5 hours but you must be careful to make sure you log out when finished (this is relating to the Caravan Clubs policy though not the site!).
In summary, this is a beautiful site offering something for everybody! Will definitely recommend and can also recommend spending £2 on the Melrose Walks book from reception. We did some incredible walks from this book - the best being Eildon Hill North, not easy but the views were worth it!
