 I’ve stayed here a couple of times when competing my dogs locally.
Love the walks from the site.
This year I was especially impressed with the shower block.
Specious compartments, a lovely thoughtful touch of a curtain behind the cubical door to protect clothing etc from getting wet 👏 really hot unlimited water at all times.
Also really easy access to fill up water tank in camper van.
A big plus for me as well was the grass is cut with NO most annoying short cut bits being left that are on most sites and always a night mare with myself and dogs trailing into the camper.
All around weldone Lauder campsite. You certainly get my vote

Really nice campsite. Although I would say that it is mainly set up for statics and caravans the campsite part is really flat and well set out with specific pitches, which is something we like.
The toilet block was clean, spacious and well looked after. They are a reasonable walk from the camping field (though we have stayed at places with much longer walks. You pay extra for showers.
There's nice views from the site and nice walks around the area as well as it being a good location for exploring the Scottish Borders and Edinburgh.
The town of Lauder has a few shops and some cafes and a couple of pubs so there are decent amenities very close.
The park has a nice little play park on it and as when we stopped was outside of the Scottish school holidays our kids had plenty of space to play. There is also a good playground in Lauder itself though it is a little but hidden away.
The price was very good too. We would recommend stopping here and would definitely go back if we were in the area again.

We chose this site while looking for somewhere to stay within reasonable distance of Edinburgh Zoo. We were really surprised by how reasonably priced it was, around half the price of others.
However the quality of the site was not compromised. We stayed in the last week of the English school holidays so the site was quiet.
The majority of the site is caravans, and the tent field is separate with around 20 pitches. It’s well laid out as each pitch is separated by young conifers.
The view from the field was pleasant with fields, hills and forest. The facilities were very clean, with the ladies being heated with 3 spacious hot free showers.
The mens had 3 showers also. There is also a lovely children’s playground next to the tent field.
The water for washing up was also very hot.
The toilets from the tent field is quite a walk, but this wasn’t an issue for us.
The site is within a village so a Co-Op and places to eat are easily accessible.
We would happily stay again, especially for the price.

Arrived at the end of my second day on the Southern Upland Way. Friendly warden directed me to a pitch for the night.
Toilet and shower facilities were excellent. I used the Dryer in the Laundry Room for some of my damp kit, and charged my phone while I waited.
Had a good nights sleep, and settled my bill in the morning with no trouble.
Would recommend this site.

Very clean and tidy campsite, friendly, helpful staff
Close to local village and the town of Dunbar and short drive to North Berwick.
Ideally located for sight seeing and beach, complementary wifi. Excellent

First class site. Friendly welcome, with layout, etc, clearly explained. Facilities were good and well cared for, despite the site being pretty busy that weekend.
The tent field is separate from the main motorhome/caravan area, well cared for, with level pitches and plenty space.
The only slight downside is that the facilities are at the opposite end of the site, but not a significant issue. It's any easy walk in to Lauder itself, or to Thirlestane castle, with the bonus of reduced admission cost to the castle.
A good base for exploring the area, and recommended.

Facilities very clean, just not enough of them, lots of caravans when we arrived, but only 2 washing up sinks, the plug had gone walkies from 2nd sink !
Some bits of path were tarmac, and some were stones,
A very quiet site, except for toilet door which banged all day and half the night.

Having just bought our new tent I emailed asking if I could book 3 nights but possibly want more (needed to make sure all was well with tent) and was told that was fine the pitch was available 3 nights and longer this was on the Sunday so when we arrived on Tuesday checked in at reception and asked if it was ok to come up next day to confirm extra nights and told that was fine. We were on a ehu pitch which is on the touring field on a bit of a slope but we managed. Next morning went up to pay for extra 3 nights and was told pitch was booked but we could move into tent field. We were disappointed about having to cut our holiday to only 3 nights as we would of either tried other sites or booked the 6 nights and taken the chance our tent was fine and we certainly didn't want to pack up to cross a field and have to set up again !
The site is in lovely surroundings and the caravan owners were very friendly. The ladies toilet/shower blocks have just been refurbished, there is only one wash up sink which did get busy at times this is in a small shed with a fridge, washer and dryer. The children's play area looked good
We were told by a caravan owner that you can catch a bus to Edinburgh from outside of the site which takes 1 half hours
10 minute stroll into very quiet village Tesco 20 minutes
Wifi charge is £5 per day but we didn't use
I would still recommend this site as it has a lovely quiet feel to it

We moved our static caravan from an other site to Thirlestane Caravan Site, has to be the best move we ever did, not only is the site stunning with nice views, the managers are top class and cant do enough to help you. This has to be the best caravan site in the Scottish Borders.
So glad we moved here.
