Why stay here ...

LOW 10% refundable deposit plus FREE cancellations and FREE amendments*

Melrose Gibson Park Club Campsite is nestled on the edge of Melrose in a peaceful setting that is overlooked by the beautiful Eilden Hills, once named Trimontium by the Romans. A short walk from the caravan park are the charming shops, lovely restaurants and pubs and historic buildings of Melrose, including the famous ruins of Melrose Abbey, the resting place of Robert the Bruce's heart.

Walking enthusiasts will be delighted when visiting Melrose Gibson Park Club Campsite - there are 1,500 miles of footpaths to explore along the banks of the Tweed or by hiking up into the High Country to view the Borders' picturesque, rural patchwork. The caravan site also gives you easy access to excellent cycle routes as well as fishing in the River Tweed. Nearby Gibson Park has 60 pitches for golfing enthusiasts and if you are a fan of rugby, the second Saturday in April hosts the annual Melrose Sevens Rugby Tournament. Another event not to be missed is the colourful Melrose Festival, held in mid June each year. There is plenty to see and do in the local area and the site is also well placed for exploring the Scottish Borders.

Visitors to Melrose Gibson Park can now take advantage of the new railway line that connects the Scottish Borders to Edinburgh. The site is around 1.5 miles (30 minutes' walk) from Tweedbank Station, and the train can get you into the heart of Edinburgh in just 55 minutes, avoiding the traffic and park and ride.

Perfect location if you don’t want to drive

Melrose Gibson Park Club Campsite
Nice site although we did find manoeuvring a bit tight. Really friendly wardens. One toilet block which is very clean but there are only four toilets. Small but adequate dog walk. Excellent location. You walk out of the site and straight into Melrose which has plenty of interest: shops, cafes, bars etc. Pubs were quite lively and noisy on the Saturday we visited and booking was required for a table even though it was early in the day. Recommend you download the ‘Melrose Paths’ for circular routes that start and finish in the village. We really enjoyed the walk along the River Tweed. We didn’t have much choice of a pitch when we arrived and ended up backing onto the tennis court. The noise of the balls going back and forward isn’t too bad but the shouting and effing and blinding from the players got a bit irritating after a while.

once again another wonderful stay at Melrose Gibson Park, toilet block was spotless, the grounds were immaculate, and as always the staff were helpful and courteous. An ideal location just on the edge of the town, close to the bus stops and cafés.

Melrose Gibson Park Club Campsite
We went back to Melrose which is one of our top two sites. The site itself has not changed and is still very clean and tidy and thanks again to the friendly and hardworking wardens. Great location, really a few minutes walk from the large Co-op store and now even better across the road from the Co-op is a a new coffee and sandwich trailer/caravan which has a great choice of coffees and filled sandwiches/croissants - personal recommendation is the bacon and brie. The town has gained another coffee shop as well. Sadly the Abbey is still not fully open due to safety work that needs doing but you can walk around the grounds, but Drybrugh Abbey a few miles way is fully open again. The afternoon tea at the Drybrurgh hotel next door is excellent. Quite a few restaurants in Melrose give discounts for club members and the takeaway is very good value - another personal recommendation is the deep fried Haggis!. There is also now a twice daily free bus service to Abbotsford from the town centre. As of the date of writing this the A68 is closed weekdays 9-3pm south of Carter bar till mid June or longer.
