Our favourite CL
We have just finished our second visit at Bairnkine. An amazing location on the top of a hill on a working farm, although there is no noise or disturbance from the farm. There are 5 stoned, hardstanding pitches which are on a slope so you will need to level up a fair bit. Our front wheels were on the top of our Milenco Quattro's and it was fine. There are no washing/showering facilities here so you do need your own, but the essentials of metered electricity, black & grey waste, fresh water and recycling are available. We are big fans of metered electricity rather than a blanket cost where some are paying for other so heat awnings etc. 10Kwh is included in the daily rate and you can top up if need be.
Guests are welcome to explore the farm, but unfortunately we had no time. Perhaps on our next visit. Lucy from the farm is a caring host. We approached her with some specific issues that we are going through due to family illness and she was most obliging. The site is open and access is unrestricted day or night, which was useful to us, given the current circumstances.
If you are a fan of Dark Skies, this site is amazing. It is many years since I have seen the night sky as vividly as I saw here last week. Constellations and the Milky Way were very clear and even satellites were visible. If you want a nice peaceful stay in the Borders with zero traffic noise, no crowds and just unadulterated peace & quiet, do yourself a favour and book in here
