  • 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

Quiet, sheltered site in historic walled garden. Spacious pitches, lovely grounds. Guests love the calm, walks, and local pub. Basic, busy but clean facilities. A few maintenance/noise grumbles, but many keen to return for the location and chill vibes.

Liked Great site we go to every so often. Lovely peaceful surroundings and walks with great pub nearby. Nicely kept by volunteers.

Disliked Standpipe for cassette waste was frozen so could maybe do with being lagged. The pitchup listing still says no toilets but that’s wrong, they have 2 large units with toilet and shower.

Liked The pitch as such and surrounding nature is great. Nice opportunities for a walk

Disliked Amenities too minimal: no dish washing basin or counter. Wash basin in toilet is too small and low. Invalid toilets integrated in shower and wash cabin is unpractical.
When quiet is no problem but when 2 people shower at the same time ( which is is usually the case when its morning and terrain is more full) no one can get to the toilet.

From the manager: Thanks for your review- we appreciate that the facilities are minimal but we clearly articulate this on Pitch Up.
We encourage all vans to have their own facilities as the ones on site are specifically accessible but we decided to open them as an added extra.
Thanks for choosing to stay with us.

Excellent site in great location.

Liked Site based in lovely old walled garden of a beautiful estate with lovely walkd. Lots of space between pitches and most are level. Good waste facilities and all very accessable. 10 minute walk to village pub with excellent restaurant and a 15 minute taxi ride to Berwick with nice shops and restaurants / cafes and sights.

Disliked My husband and I booked into your Caravan site at Paxton House on 31/12/25 for one evening. This booking was made after a conversation with a member of the Paxton team as I had questions to ask.
I asked if fireworks were permitted on site and I was informed No due to live stock on site. This is why we booked this site as we have 2 dogs who get stressed at fireworks and loud noises.

On arriving at the site we were booked into location 8 apparently another 3 people had also been allocated that lot, camper vans/caravans just ended up parking anywhere and everywhere due to lack of organisation.

As we approached midnight one of the residents proceeded to set fire works off, much to our horror and the distress of our dogs.
If that was not bad enough there was then arguments between campers. The language and aggression was unbelievable this continued for over an hour. If we had not had a drink we would have packed up and left there and then but unfortunately we had to listen to this verbal abuse which left me worried.

We managed to get some broken sleep but have to say we were on edge the whole night as we knew things had not settled down with the altercations happening around us and several vehicles being moved around.

This was a very disappointing visit and one we will not be recommending to people.

From the manager: Thanks for your review- and email feedback.

We are sorry to read that you were unhappy with your stay on New Years’ Eve.

We do have a phone number which is contactable 24/7 this is on our website and displayed prominently on the notice board in the caravan park. We also do have a warden who lives onsite and a team who perform regular checks. Had you called we would have been able to address some of your concern. Please do call should you ever decide to stay again, if there any issues and our team will do what they can to help.

We are disappointed that fireworks were set off- this is against our site rules- because we are next to a farm which has livestock. This was not something we were aware of until we saw your review. We are sorry your dogs were frightened.

There was no sign of a bonfire when we did the check in on the fist of January in the morning. We also did not see any roaming dogs off lead- again this is against the site rules. Had we seen any we would have asked them to pop them back on the lead.

When we did our evening check at 9.30pm on NYE, we noted all vans in pitches- we know that some were not on correctly allocated pitches and we worked hard to ensure that all vans were sited close to on on their number. We are looking at implementing new systems going forward to ensure that all vans go to the correct pitch number as per their bookings to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

We also checked the site at check out time on the 1st and noted that people were correctly checking out as per their bookings.

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.
