 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!

Our second stay for the New Year and I must say the best so far the site was clean tidy and the staff fantastic they were only doing a temporary I believe 8 week duty but they were helpful always a cheery word and a smile and on New Years Eve provided drinks and nibbles for the site these were very tasty and plenty full. Full marks to them both. As usual the toilets were clean, warm and with plenty of hot water a small wait in the morning for showers but I always shower early evenings and had no problem. Plenty of shops, bars and eating places 5 minutes walk away into town, just across the next door car park where there was all the recycling facilities you need. New Years Eve celebrations started with a local pipe band just before the countdown to midnight then a fantastic firework display. We will be back again (PS some great decorated caravans well done to the owners).

Simply fantastic site which contrary to a couple of comments, in my opinion, is very easily located. The site is located on your left hand side as you travel in from town, signposted and immediately opposite Melrose RFC.
Usual immaculate site and high standards you come to expect from the Caravan Club with large pitches providing plenty of room and adequate privacy. Washrooms were beautifully warm and very clean. Lovely, friendly, helpful wardens and a well stocked information room.
There's a very good children's play area about 50m from the site entrance but our boy wasn't interested once he'd seen the salmon (more later).
Melrose is a gem of a town with nice independent shopping, a museum, coffee shops and hotels/pubs. A few of the pubs/hotels offer CC members a 10% discount so hunt down those bargains!
Our visit coincided with a very good run of salmon up the Tweed so we spent some time watching their antics in the river behind the bowling club and were further rewarded with a very close encounter with an otter for our trouble.
We look forward to going back asap.

We're just back from spending an enjoyable 4 nights on a serviced pitch at this site. There is limited availability for these pitches, but nowhere is too far from the water and toilet facilities, and all pitches are hard standing.
The TV bollards give all the freeview digital channels.
The toilets could do with more frequent cleaning when there are children staying on the site but otherwise this small site is kept clean and neat by the friendly wardens, with plenty of hot water in the ablution blocks.
Melrose is very easily accessible on foot and a manageable size with several independent retailers. Don't miss the Abbey Woollen Mill just beyond Melrose Abbey - excellent teas/coffees and good value snacks and meals.
Also try The Buccleuch Arms Hotel at St. Boswells. Dog friendly and good food and friendly bar staff/waiters.
As previously noted the site entrance sign is still obscured by branches if heading from the town end and the site could easily be missed.
All in all a good small level site, well situated for exploring the area.

To find site:- From A68 take A6091 towards Galashiels. Do not turn right at first sign for Melrose (road narrow and twisty in places) but continue to roundabout and head for Melrose from this end of town. The site is signed to the right opposite the Melrose Rugby Club.
Gibson Park is situated in an urban area on the edge of the town of Melrose in the Borders of Scotland. It is a very popular site and booking is advised. The site is open all year and accepts non-members. There is a tent area but during our visit this was closed so best to check with the site if you wish to use this facility. The site has 60 pitches all of which are on hardstanding including 5 on tarmac for motorhome use. Some of the hardstanding pitches are serviced for which there is an additional extra nightly charge. The electric bollards also have a digital TV connector but you have to provide your own cable or purchase one from reception. There is one toilet block which is up to normal Club standards and it also has a covered washing up area. Reception sells a variety of caravanning bits and pieces. Site wide WiFi has recently been installed on this site.
The town of Melrose has several nice looking restaurants and couple of cafes. There is a Co-Op and Spar in the town as well as fuel station. For more serious shopping Galashiels a few miles away would be worth considering as it has both a Tesco and ASDA supermarkets, the latter having a fuel station. Public transport in the form of buses is available from near to the site. Gibson Park would be an excellent base for exploring this part of Scotland.

We're just back from 2 nights at this site. It is excellent for motorhomes as it is just a couple of minutes walk from shops, bars and restaurants and a few minutes walk away from fabulous walks along the river Tweed.
We have two dogs so enjoy the type of site where we can walk them off the lead for a couple of hours. You can also get a bus into Edinburgh from near the site entrance.
Very friendly wardens. Huge pitches, all hard standing and separated by hedges. Extremely warm and spacious toilet and shower facilities. Copious hot water in the dish washing area.
Fully serviced pitches available if required. Open all year. Can't fault it.

Spent New Year here. Great, lots of snow. Warm and clean toilet blocks and friendly staff. All path ways and roads to pitches cleared and gritted
Short walk into Melrose, celebrated at The Kings Arms Hotel then Fireworks round the Christmas Tree in the square
Have booked again for 2011
Lots to do and see in the area. Cannot comment on children area as did not use.
Would be just as good any time of the year, plenty of shops, pubs and places to eat in the town and of course the Whisky shops, The Abbey, and of course the rugby sevens.

Used this site as a stopover when returning from Scotland. It's set in a residential area, and is a very short walk to the town centre of Melrose, which has a range of shops and places to eat and drink. Melrose Abbey is also worth a look. The Eildon Hills offer good walking opportunities and can be accessed directly from the town.
Facilities at Gibson Park are excellent, as you'd expect from a club site. Huge pitches, TV and electric points and great showers.
This is the 2nd time I've visited the site and I'd certainly go again.

We stayed at this site for 2 nights and found it a good starting point for further push into Scotland. Beware when arriving from the town side as the sign to the site is hidden by bushes and is easily missed which means a bit of a drive to turn around in a motorhome.
The entrance is immediately after the petrol station and before the school. The wardens are efficient and friendly. The pitches are large and level with good separation using high bushes which also give some shelter.
The showers and washing facilities are clean but there is no alternate when cleaning is in progress. Melrose is only a few minutes walk from the site but the rural feel to the site is still maintained. It is adjacent to a primary school so the sound of kids’ laughter at playtime is a bonus to most and something to annoy if you are a grouch.
The shopping is adequate for most things with a couple of small supermarkets and lots of small shops to browse. The must see is the abbey which can take up at least an afternoon. For a reasonable entrance fee, an audio guided tour gives a remarkable glimpse into the past. On site there is not much for children but only a 15 minute stroll to the outskirts of town bring you to 100 Aker Garden Centre which boasts a woodland walk with many rescue animals and a bouncy castle which will keep them happy.
Night life in Melrose is quiet but several good hotel bars serving meals and a friendly pub are available. Hand pulled ale is to be found! The site is secure (150 yards from the police station) and well lit.
Overall this is a very well run site which offers a good springboard to the rest of Scotland if travelling from England.

This site is a gem, a credit to the Caravan Club and one of the best we have stayed at. We want to keep this one to ourselves and also tell the world about it!
Although situated just off a main road, minutes walk away from the ton of Melrose and next door to a very popular tennis club our 2 night midweek visit was perfect in every way.
The site is very attractive, well maintained and the toilets, showers and washing up area were immaculate. Hardstanding pitches with EHU were spacious and there were grassy areas in between if you liked the feeling of the green stuff under your feet. Our pitch was on the tennis club side and although tennis was played until 9pm you never felt irritated by the sound.
A short stroll across the road and up through park grounds next to the rugby club takes you to the River Tweed and lovely riverside walks on both sides, opposite side to the the town is accessed by a stunning suspension bridge. Signposts from the town also direct you to the Abbey.
There isn't anything on site to amuse children but there is an excellent playpark on the other side of the tennis club next to the school and we would thoroughly recommend the 100 Aker Wood garden centre, again a short walk from the town centre, which has an animal and bird rescue centre, fairy lights woodland walk with play and eating areas (only children pay a small entrance fee).
We didn't need to use any of the local shops but there were plenty to choose from including a late opening supermarket and the town boasts many watering holes with eating facilities. We ate at The Ship on our first night, a traditional cosy pub bedecked in flowers. Both food and ale were the biz.
Would we visit again.Oh yes!
