This site is firmly in the 'hidden gem' category. You must seek it out as it's well off the A roads, tucked in behind a disused church.
We stayed longer than planned, for many reasons: the beautiful views south to the Cheviot Hills from our pitch at the top of the site; the total peace & quiet, with barely any passing road traffic; the sweet sound of the church bells ringing the quarter hours from Kirk Yetholm on the other side of the valley; the villages of Town & Kirk Yetholm are both very interesting to walk around with their thatched roofs & pretty gardens & their strong sense of community (and their Romany history is worth reading about); the butcher sells excellent local meat but also egg & rolls etc; St Cuthbert's Way follows the valley floor so there are enjoyable walks in either direction - and everyone we met walking their dog was so friendly & wanted to chat.
The helpful Warden is also a gem, with a gentle wry humour; he's almost obsessive about keeping the site clean, spic & span: he was even raking grass clippings off the gravel one morning.
No Motorhome drain, you'll need a cannister for grey water if you're staying long. You might need levelling chocks but each hardstand has a water pipe. The one very minor quibble would be the ladies shower - it took a very delicate touch to get the temperature right, and another lady had to wait as there's only the one. But would it stop us coming back? No - there's something special about this site, which I can't describe, that makes me want to go back.
Nearby? Kelso has a Sainsbury, an Abbey, Kelso Races, Floors Castle & gardens, and the excellent Roxburghe Golf Course. Also worth going to The Hirsel at Coldstream for its craft centre, the many walks and the bird hide by the loch (an SSSI because of its birds).

We stayed at Kirkfield Caravan Park for 5 nights in August 2018.
As others have said, it is a site with all the facilities that we require. It is sloping but you should be able to find a level pitches in most areas. There are a variety of pitches available – some on grass, some on hardstanding but those required tracking across the grass to gain access and 5 full hardstanding pitches at the bottom of the site adjacent to the toilet/shower block.
The site owners house is on site so he was normally about to answer any queries etc. Card payment can’t be taken at the site, so you have to go to the village garage to make such payments. The village has a mini-market shop selling most essentials including newspapers. There is a pub but we didn’t visit.
The Pennine Way finishes a Kirk Yetholm which is about a mile away, so we walked quite a bit of that, out & back, always calling in at The Borders Hotel for refreshment! St. Cuthbert’s Way also passes close to the site.
Overall a good site with an excellent location to walk the myriad of routes in the area.
£18 per night in August 2018.

Lovely little quiet site in super location. Just off the High Street where there is a village shop and post office plus a butcher. Friendly welcoming owner. Toilets and shower (one for each sex) cleaned daily but feel the shower could do with uprating from a domestic set up to something more robust. We did enjoy our stay and hope to return

Stayed over the Easter Weekend, great little site very well looked after, toilet block is spotless cleaned daily. Perfect base for Walking the Pennine Way, St Cuthberts Way or the Cheviot Hills. The Borders Hotel does a great Sunday lunch and are most welcoming as is the pub in Town Yetholm.

First time at this site what a gem, 3 nights over whit weekend.
The owner showed us to pitch asked which one we wanted with EHU.
We where with friends 6 tents in all adults & children.
Toilet block spotless only 1 shower in gents & ladies, it was not a problem never any queues.
The weather was perfect, the views where fantastic from around the site.
No play area for kids on site made own entertainment play area in village.
Pub 5 min walk into village good food & pint pub staff are very helpful.
The only complaint I have was no hot water for washing the dishes in the wash up sink, so we just boiled a kettle no problem.
The owner just came out of hospital, did not want to bother him he was a real gent.
What else can I say the site the area quiet and fantastic.
We wish the owner a fast recovery and we will be back.

Spent a few days on this site while touring Scotland.
Location
In the small village of Kirk Yetholm, a quiet spot surrounded by Borders countryside. Shop and pub in walking distance.
Facilities
Generally the site well maintained, though quite dated. It's a small, quiet site. Pitched have electric hook up.
Price
Around £16 per night for two people with electricity. Good value.
Great site!
