 Location is all at this site. Afew minutes walk from the towncentre. Large COOP on the doorstep.
Lots of cafes/bars etc. Pitches are typical club size-small and confined.
The whole site needs a refurb including the infamous toilet block-reviews as far back as 8 years mention this.
Our service point tele aerial rusty and didn't work. It appears to be extremely busy but is very quiet overnight.
We would use it again if in the area, but its not really a destination in itself.
Melrose is delightful

Firstly, the staff here were really friendly. That is why the site scored so highly. The location for Melrose was excellent.
However, the tent pitches were right next to a primary school which I wasn’t aware of and I wouldn’t have booked had I known. Also, there was a busy road and I could hear the traffic overnight which was less than ideal.
The bathroom facilities were a bit out dated too. Although, they were really clean.
The sites main audience is for campervans/ RVs and there were only 6 tent pitches with no EHU.
It would have been nice to have more communication from the site prior to arrival.
Special shout out to the coffee truck at the entrance to the campsite- perfect coffee!

This is one of our favourite sites right on the edge of Melrose. Sadly, it's beginning to price us out of going. We paid 52. 70 a night for a serviced pitch. There are no age concessions with the CAMC - unlike the CACC.
Site is very well kept and picturesque. Chemical disposal up to the usual CAMC standards though we didn't use the facilities block.
Melrose - lots of good walks around the river and a good selection of shops and eateries. Shame that the second hand book store at the top of the High Street has closed however.

Can get to this site by train to Tweedbank then walk along Southern Uplamds way/Border Abbeys Way route.
This site takes tents April-September, which is great as so many sites no longer alow tents. Small tent area but well grassed and kept purely for tents (which is great).
Facilities good though slightly tired. £25 per night for solo backpacker tent a little steep but ok.
No kitchen or drying facilities or inside room for rainy days and no picnic benches - but I think this campsite is mostly aimed at caravans and campers.
A stone's throw from Melrose town with plenty coffee shops and eateries and the Co-op.

This is a small level site just on the edge of the town. This means that it is not particularly spacious and some of the pitches are very close to some houses. However the advantage of this position is that there is a Co-op right next door and the shops and bars of the town can be reached on foot.
Facilities block is a bit tired but kept spotlessly clean and tidy by the very friendly staff. Each block is closed for 30 minutes in the morning but an alternative loo is available. The showers were hot and powerful.
We paid £46 per night for a hard standing pitch with hook up for a caravan and 2 adults, this was with the caravan club member pricing.
There is lovely cycling nearby on the 4 Abbeys route, we just did part of it cycling to the bustling town of Kelso for a lovely lunch in the Cream Chimneys café in the main square.

We really like the town of Melrose, it's a proper Borders town with lots of good shops, restaurants, pubs and the beautiful River Tweed.
The surrounding countryside is stunning, full of historic houses and castles. We love the lack of traffic!
The site isn't 'pretty' but it's very functional, with the normal noises of a small town going about its business, noisier when the adjacent school is 'in term-time', but quiet at night.
Site facilities are a little dated but kept immaculately clean and tidy by the friendly wardens.
As others have said, we think prices for CAMC sites are just getting too high now.

Great site situated in the town which has lovely shops, cafés, places of interest and walks.
The site itself is in need of an upgrade but like any CMC site, there are plenty of facilities immaculately kept.
It is next to a park, houses and a school so it can be noisy during the day but we found it peaceful at night.

Nice site just in town centre so good links for whole area.
Toilet / shower blocks usual good quality.
Friendly staff on arrival. Nice big pitches.
Did a good walk up the Eildon hills and over to Dryburgh and got a bus back.
Paid £91 for 3 nights inc EHU.

Having seen queues at the entrance in the past, we arrived early afternoon; the manager was welcoming and pointed out the few pitches that were available for us to choose from, we took one that was well screened by a tall hedge.
It's best to pay for a pitch "with awning" even if you're not going to use it, as the "no awning" pitches are less appealing - like a tarmac car park. Little benefit to paying for a Serviced pitch as the site is so small that fresh water and grey disposal points are very close to all the pitches.
I see reviews criticising the toilets & showers, but they were spotless and we were thankful that they only closed for 30 minutes for cleaning.
The site is noisy until late (though not in an unpleasant way), as it's next door to floodlit tennis courts and rugby pitches. The on-site dog walk is tiny, plenty of walks by the river and farther afield; the King's Arms allows dogs.
It was eye wateringly expensive at a weekend, even as CAMC members, but there are no other sites in the area, and Melrose has much to offer. Trimontium Museum is interesting. Buses go to Galashiels (for the Great Tapestry of Scotland), Selkirk, Hawick (quality woollen mills), Kelso (Floors castle) etc. Worth taking the Waverley Line train from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, it's a very scenic route.
