  • Berwickshire caravan park in the grounds of 18th-century Paxton House
  • A 10-minute drive to Berwick-upon-Tweed beaches, ruins 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 like pubs and grub and shops, as well as sandy beaches, estuary walks, ruins, sea safaris and fishing trips, Berwick-upon-Tweed is a brilliantly convenient 10 minutes' drive away.

What customers say

This peaceful, sheltered site in a historic walled garden offers spacious pitches and beautiful grounds to explore. Guests praise the tranquil atmosphere, numerous walks, and nearby village pub. While facilities are basic and can be busy, they are generally clean. Some note issues with maintenance and noise during events, but many plan to return due to the location and relaxing environment.

From the manager: Unfortunately Pitch-up does not provide the facility to book your own pitch. Your pitch number is noted on your Pitch-up booking confirmation at the time of booking. If you contact us directly before your arrival, we can move you to another pitch or show you how to choose your pitch, if there are still pitches available.
We have been very busy over the duration of May and therefore pitch availability was tight within a month of arrival for the late bank holiday

Loved the stay.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Spacious well laid out pitches in a sheltered walled garden. The Paxton estate offers excellent walks through the trees and along the river Tweed. We enjoyed coffee and cake in the stable cafe.We also took the local bus ,which picks up on the main carpark into Berwick on Tweed.

Disliked The fact that Pitch Up allocates your pitch as the first available , we recommend booking directly with Paxton House to guarantee your preferred pitch.

From the manager: Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Unfortunately there isn't an option on Pitch up for customers to select a pitch. We note that you have given 2/10 for customer service; could you contact us directly so that we can understand where we fell short and can improve in the future.
Many thanks, Paxton House Team

Loved it.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked We were one of just 3 pitches being used so we were able to let our dog out of the van without any worries or concerns about other users who were at the other side of the site. It’s a lovely site with brilliant dog walks through the woods and down to the river. It’s been one if our favourite sites on this trip so far.

Disliked The two shower rooms are large and set up for the disabled, shower is good and hot but the room is cold despite a small heater which either didn’t work in the one I used or was ineffectual.

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 around 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 around 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.
