 Joined the CC at this site about 8 years ago and had not re-visited until May last year - and have since returned twice this year. Site only has around 60 or so pitches and has a small separate field for tents. All pitches are hardstanding with several fully serviced pitches also available.
Toilet block and pitches are very well maintained and I suspect are the main the reason you have to be quick to book this site as it is always busy. Several of the other campers we spoke to have visited the site on numerous occasions. Toilet block does not have an infants room if you have small kids and although no play area on site there is one at the entrance.
Melrose is only a few mins walk away and has several cafes, bars and restaurants to suite all tastes and a couple of small supermarkets. Also Galashields is only 4 miles away where there is a huge 24 hour Tesco and a large Asda almost side by side as well as several other high street stores such as M&S & Next.
Melrose is centrally placed for touring the borders with Peebles, Kelso, Jedburgh, Hawick and Selkirk with their many attractions all within 20 miles or so. A little further a field and you can be in Edinburgh or the East Lothian / Northumberland coast.
Quite a lot to do in the area so you could easily fill a week or repeat visits without getting bored. The drive to Kelso and Floors Castle are definitely worth a mention. As is the farm park near Jedburgh for the kids, think it was called Jedforrest.
Will definitely be back although will probably have to wait until next year now and book in advance.

I used to visit this site as a child and its changed a lot since the 80s! The main site is caravan hard-standings, very nice condition and well looked after. The tent field is past the caravan pitches, and is a cordoned-off segment of a larger field. I'll make it easy and go with pro's and con's:
Pro's:
- Ideal location, two minutes walk from the beautiful town of Melrose, excellent walks by the river, lovely pubs and dog friendly beer gardens
- Well looked after campsite, friendly managers
- Beautiful toilet blocks, includes hairdryers and basin cubicles for privacy when doing your hair and makeup!
- Dogs allowed
- Play areas and tennis courts on site
- Tent area fairly quiet and a couple of picnic benches provided
Con's:
- Tent pitches can't be booked, the manager just advises you to ring before setting off
- The tent field had a bit of a boggy ditch down one side - this didn't bother us except that we found little black beetles under everything when packing up
- Dogs have to be tied up at all times - this may not seem like a con to non-dog lovers, but we found it a bit restrictive given that we were at the furthest side of the tent field and nowhere near anyone else
- It was a little bit of a walk from the tent field to the toilet block - not miles, but farther than I'm used to!
Overall, a beautiful site, excellent location, and I'm now a little bit spoilt as its the nicest place we've stayed yet!

A lovely location ,although I missed the entrance due to Caravan sign being obscured by an overhanging tree. Entry to the site is via barrier card.All pitches are gravel hardstandings.
The toilet block was clean and well maintained. The chemical disposal, dishwashing and dustbins were undercover. There is a laundry room. The information room had plenty of leaflets but Would have liked more local information.
Walking into town is an easy 3 minute walk with some nice shops. The Roman heritage Centre in the main street does guided walks every Tues & Thursday 1.30pm to 5.30pm (inc cup of tea). Melrose Abbey is close by,I didn't visit (entry price put me off). Abbey Mill a few yards away has a tea room,gifts and clothing (part of Edinburgh Wool) got some bargains (50% off some).
But what I really like Melrose for is the great walking. Try crossing the 'Chain Bridge' across the River Tweed, this footbridge built in 1826 looks like a mini Brunel Bridge. I sat and watched the fly fishermen waist deep, the Salmon jumping and even saw a Heron having better look in the shallows (don't forget the Camera and binoculars for the lovely views). Can also walk to the old stone bridge and cottage (looked like a converted tollbooth). A site well worth visiting.

Lovely site in excellent location. 5 min walk into Melrose which is a lovely village with lovely shops. #
Friendly Wardens and very clean facilities. Play ground just outside the gate was good for my 2 young children and there are some lovely walks in the area. All in all we had a great time and would recommend this site.

Nice site, as we have come to expect from all Caravan Club sites we have visited so far. Warden friendly and welcoming. Site was clean and well maintained. Shower block warm and very clean. Only drawback was the noise from the adjacent tennis/rugby pitch which continued throughout the day until around 9pm. Didn't realise when we chose the pitch that there would be rather loud instructor-led tennis and rugby coaching. This didn't bother us but if you want peace and quiet, you should choose a pitch at the opposite end of the site, ie, away from the shower block area. Melrose itself was very pleasant and we enjoyed a lovely evening meal at the King's Arms. We will definitely return to Gibson Park at a later date.

This site is only 5 miles from home, but handy for our first trip away in new caravan.
The wardens were very friendly & welcoming. They do a good job of keeping the site clean & tidy. The toilets were immaculate & probably the best shower I have had on a caravan site.
The well equipped play park is next to the site & the shops are 2 minutes walk. We were able to send the kids up themselves to get our bits & pieces. Would visit again & would recommend highly.

Second visit to this site and I need to retract some of the negative remarks I made in my first review. The wardens (different ones) couldn't have been more helpful and once again we didn't have the proper connector for the water. They offered us the loan of one but at £1.75 we bought one. It was below 6 degrees when we were there and the site was full but not one bit of bother with the electrics.
The Kings Arms is under new management. Still dog friendly and fab food. They have a special menu in the bar £3.99 for a starter and a main course. Fab portions and a good choice. You can't ask for more than that. We will definitely be returning. On site dog walk is great and always immaculate.

Stayed here for a night on our way to more northerly parts of Scotland, but we could easily have stayed longer. The site is in the centre of Melrose, which is a nice little town with a range of places to eat and drink, as well as the impressive Melrose Abbey. Within easy walking distance are the Eildon Hills, which make for excellent days out walking.
The site itself is excellent. All pitches are flat and hardstanding, with EHU and TV point. Showers and toilets were of an excellent standard. Staff on site were helpful and friendly. Overall, an excellent site, which I intend to return to soon.

What a nice well run caravan park this is, pitches are huge, toilets nipping clean, handy dog walk (small),wardens very helpful. The park is all most in melrose village and what a cracking place, quite quaint with some excellent walks leading straight from the town.
Would recommend this site highly. Close by is galashiels with a huge tesco, asda and many other retail shops, also the town is quite large with cinema, shops, pubs, etc.

Lovely site well up to CC standards.
We were there during a spell of heavy rain meaning some of the hard standing pitches flooded - including ours. Nothing serious but under a couple of inches of water.
Apart from that no complaints and we will be going back in September 2009.
