 The site is a perfect place for a peaceful borders break. I've stayed here a couple of times whilst working in the area and have found it to be a great place to relax.
The site managers are friendly and more than accommodating. They keep the place meticulously clean and tidy with lovely hanging baskets. The managers helped me out with various requests and issues, and even helped jump start my camper when I'd left the lights on. When I returned for my second trip they welcomed me warmly.
The site is set in gorgeous countryside, with a stream and lots of trees around it.
The area is great for walking, and there are bunnies living on site so fab for small children. There is a nice pub a few minutes walk away which does good food. Highly recommended.

I visited this campsite at the beginning of June with my husband and two boys.
We were warmly greeted by Bob, the site manager, and given a choice of 2-3 pitches. Bob showed us all of the facilities and kindly asked if we would like a paper delivered in the morning.
The campsite itself is very well kept. It is a flat site and appears to be well drained. There is a small river running alongside the site with plenty of warning signs alongside.
Bob and his wife Sheena are always busy from morning until late at night ensuring that the site and it`s facilities are kept in tip top condition. The shower/toilet blocks are immaculate and by far the cleanest I have ever encountered!. They even organised a treasure hunt' for the kids one day!
There is an outdoor roofed area for dishwashing with plenty of hot water which is kept just as clean.
There is also a laundry area, complete with an ironing board and iron if you need it. Also in the laundry area you will find a selection of books to take away and read for a small donation!.
There is lots of information provided on the site regarding local places of interest/places to eat (including price lists/menus). Bob even telephoned nearby Thirlestane Castle for us one day to see if was open (it is closed on a Friday & Saturday for functions).
There are loads of things to do and see in the area and if you feel like going a bit further afield there are several 'Park & Ride' facilities for a trip into Edinburgh at a fraction of the price you would pay to drive into and park in the city.
All in all a fantastic, friendly holiday and a site we will definitely visit again!.

Lovely site with friendly owners. Very clean toilets with fantastic deluge showers! Quickest showers ever.
We have stayed here 3 times now and have always got the spot we favour, next to the burn at the dog walk area complete with dog bin. Great wildlife - this time a female pied flycatcher.
Lovely short grass so no soggy feet. Shelter from trees from hot morning sun.
The site isn't the quietest during the day as a lot of kids run around but everyone seems well behaved at night. Popular with cyclist and bikers touring. We were down for Classic car rally and were allowed two cars on our pitch - much appreciated.
Hookups available but we don't use them.
Great base for travelling to Border towns and villages, Lindesfarne and Bamburgh (Copper Kettle tearoom cream tea with seating out back for dogs)
Although the site isn't in the village or town, there is great hotel (bit pricey) with outdoor seating (great for dogs) and great menu - even doing breakfasts from 7am. If you go watch the tall head waiter on weekend evening - he is amazing to watch - keeps his staff well in line!
Will always return to this site for the Car rally.

Have just returned from this superbly run and extremely friendly site. This is the nicest site I've stayed on, the staff are brilliant and spend time keeping the facilities absolutely tip top.
What a lovely setting with a stream running through. The toilet block is the cleanest I've come across and all sorts of little extras are provided (such as a baby bath, books to read, shop, local info).
Plenty of wildlife around,very peaceful.
Site wardens get 10 out of 10. Will be going back again.Highly recommended

We visited this site from 9th-14th May 2011 as members of the Camping and Caravan club. We wanted to be near Edinburgh and this site was perfect.
On arrival we were warmly greeted and camped next to the stream. It was a quiet week, so had loads of room on a pitch without hook up.
Although close to A68, there is no road noise and just the gentle baa-ing of sheep to wake you in the morning. The site managers are always busy ensuring the site is kept in tip top condition and the Toilet block is wonderfully clean and warm.
The weather was quite cool that week and emerging from a cold tent into a warm shower block with great showers was bliss.
Edinburgh park and ride (we used the Newcraighall park and train) was 25 mins away and perfect for our needs. We visited the Royal Yacht Britannia which was fantastic.
Eating out each evening we had a warm welcome and great food from The Goblin Ha at Gifford, The Kings Wark at Leith in Edinburgh, The Waterside Inn at Haddington, La Lanterna in Hanover Street, Edinburgh. I had lived in East Lothian 20 years ago, so had some knowledge of these eateries and we were not disappointed. Fantastic food all round.
We would highly recommend this peaceful, well run and welcoming site and will go back again

A very well run site set in Borders of Scotland. Myself, My wife and 2 children (3 and 6 years), as well as our friends also with children, were made very welcome at this site.
The good nature and helpfulness of the site managers, was outstanding. Quality pitches of very well drained level grass were ideal. Every effort was made to make our break enjoyable for all present. Some of cleanest well maintained facilities I have used on a camping and caravan club site.
Extra effort was made as it was Easter, the on-site provided easter egg hunt was especially thought out, with a box of spare eggs in case (staff made sure it didn't) some kids did not find a clue.
The Site had a large open area where we all played rounders, football and general running around. The children were very entertained with the 6-10inch deep stream running the length of the site. We also were lucky to view a vast array of wildlife on the site and within one of the many walks that we took.
The walks were all superb and an easy and safe route for children. All of whom had great fun.
Park and ride trips to Edinburgh are a fun way to spend the day. Also the many Hotel restaurants (all clearly advertised on site) are of a very high quality. The Tower hotel in Oxton being especially child friendly. Only the absence of a park drops rating to 9, but their is so much else to do for the children I would not consider this a draw back, maybe its better as it forces different activity types.
I could could ramble on for ages about how good this site was, but I will not, instead just go. You will return again and again. We are Planning a return visit as soon as we can.

Great site, lovely and clean toilet/shower block. The staff must have been cleaning very regularly as it seemed as though it had just been cleaned everytime we visited!
The staff were very nice and helpful, the little washing up room full of tourist information as well as magazines, books, videos was a nice little feature. The price was very reasonable and I can see why its got such a good star rating.
Although there is no playpark on the site itself (there is an adventure park in nearby castle grounds)we didn't mind as our little toddler loved running around the big open field.
The town is a lovely 10 minute walk through the castle grounds, passing the horses and other animals which were of great interest to my son. Lauder is a really nice town with great pubs for bar meals and coffee shops. The locals were incredibly friendly.
Fab holiday helped by fabulous weather! We will definitely be back!

Have passed this site many times on the way to Melrose CC site. Nice quiet location. Staff were friendly and this is the best kept C&CC site we have visited. Usual C&CC issues of narrow hard standings and unmade roads, but apart from that excellent.
Service block was well kept though the shower cubicles are a bit tight for space - that said they have the most powerful showers I have ever come across! TV reception wasn't great but not a big issue. Will return.

I'm not sure how often we'd been past this Site and not realised that it was there. Once on the Site, though, it well deserves the description of a hidden gem. It's quite small with only ~60 pitches but the facilities are first class, well up where we're sure C & CC would want them to be.
On top of that, the Site Managers were very efficient and helpful - all toilets inspected before official morning Office opening, papers, bread, rolls available at 09h00. The Site itself is reasonably close to Edinburgh and would also be a good overnight stop on the way to North Scotland. It took us ~5hours to get to Inverness from here.

This was the first time we have been camping in years and my girlfriend isn't really a outdoors kind of girl, but we had a great time even if it did rained the whole time we were there.
The site had excellent drainage, the staff could not have been more helpful. The toilet, shower and dish washing areas were extremely clean and the toilet block seemed to be heated also which was nice on the cold nights.
The site also had a small shop which was ok priced for a camp site. The only drawback was that the shop was only open for a bout 3 hours. An hour and a half in the morning and then an hour or so in the afternoon. All in all, I would recommend this site and I'm sure we'll be back soon.
