Paxton House Caravan Park

View prices & book Last booked 3 hours ago 9 685 reviews

Berwickshire caravan park in the grounds of 18th-century Paxton House
A 10-minute drive to Berwick-upon-Tweed beaches, castle and boat trips
Woodland walks, adventure playground, Tweed river trips from the site

Want to see how the other half lives? Pack a bag and park yourself in the walled garden at Paxton House Caravan Park. This Berwickshire pile was built in the Palladian style in 1763 for a nobleman who planned to live in it, then inherited a castle and moved there instead. Staying in this small park on the 80 acres of grounds, visitors can take in this popular landmark at their leisure, with river walks and boat trips down the Tweed and/or by delving into the history of the house and its collections of art and furniture. The kids can let off steam on the adventure playground and follow woodland trails to discover wildlife and maybe encounter a fairy or two. For practical things likes pubs and grub and shops, as well as sandy beaches, estuary walks, sea safaris and fishing trips, Berwick-upon-Tweed is a brilliantly convenient 10 minutes' drive away. It’s also got a top castle, and a hefty handful of medieval forts and towers… and you can take a horseback ride down the beach like some country squire with a walled garden…

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely walled garden with spacious pitches. It was very quiet while we were there with only about six other caravans or motorhomes. There are plenty of water points around the site - we managed to locate ourselves close enough we could run our hose from the tap to the van to refill.
We used our on board facilities - not a problem for a couple of nights.
As guests on the caravan park, we got a discount on a guided tour of Paxton House so make sure you book in person when you arrive and not online when you'd pay full price. Excellent tour with good guide.
Lovely walk along the river to the Chain Bridge and back. Also excellent pub in the village - Cross Inn - good food.

Disliked: There is a warning when booking that there might occasionally be functions such as weddings at the House or adjacent marquee and there was one on the Saturday night we were there. The music was audible in our motorhome but finished before midnight and did not stop us from getting to sleep.
Bus to Berwick (or Duns) only runs Monday to Friday although does come up to the House on these days during the summer.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Beautifully set up site in walled garden with fruit trees and hedging and with access to the lovely Paxton House grounds. Facilities were good and clean. Very peaceful. Very nice staff. We would stay again. Great area for walking. Chain bridge, river Tweed (including seal!) And honey farm. Berwick is annoying with disk parking.

Disliked: It felt a little unsecured I suppose and I wouldn't necessarily recommend to my single camping friends. Not sure how they stop people just turning up for camping and the gardens. Very trusting of people which is nice I suppose!

Quiet site with lovely woodland walks for dog and great pub nearby.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The caravan park was very good and the grounds were excellent. Nice and sheltered with some good little walks around the area.

Disliked: Only fault I had was the grass on the pitches was very long as in 10 inches+ in places.

Local attractions

History is never far away in these parts, and the glimpses you’ll get of Lindisfarne half an hour's drive away will doubtless lure you out during your stay. Wild and peaceful, the ruins of the priory and the castle point to the long and turbulent human past of the place while the colonies of puffins and waders carry on regardless. Check tide times if heading out by car; boat trips to and round make a leisurely way to visit with seal and puffin spotting possibilities en route. There are many more castles to peruse, if that’s your penchant: Bamburgh, still occupied but open to visitors, is half an hour’s drive away. Despite being 700 years old, Alnwick (45 minutes) is also still home to the descendants of its original owners and a must-see for JK Rowling fans as the film location for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The little villages of Beadnell and Seahouses (45 minutes away) form the gateway to the Northumbria Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a sea-hugging zone stuffed with chances to go rockpooling and paddleboarding, plus coastal paths and bike trails as well as a haven for wildflowers and (yes, really) wild cattle. Half an hour’s drive gets you to the edge of Northumbria National Park, packed with Roman remains, climbing in the Cheviot Hills and paths round Kielder Water. Further afield, the museums, culture, lively pubs and (of course) the castle of Edinburgh are very doable for a day trip, an hour and 20 minutes away.
