  • Berwickshire holiday park on the River Tweed's banks near Coldstream
  • Five minutes’ drive to the Hirsel Estate and 40 minutes to Holy Island
  • Dog-friendly site; pubs five minutes’ drive
Can’t decide whether to holiday in Scotland or England? Coldstream Holiday Park is situated just above the banks of the River Tweed, which forms a natural boundary between the two countries. No need to make a decision, then, as you can visit both countries in one day. Near the historic town of Coldstream, the site has views all the way to the Cheviot Hills and you can see the Eildon Hills on clear days. It is a handy, dog-centric base for walking and cycling in Berwickshire countryside, with a golf course within five minutes’ drive, and fishing (in season) on the Tweed. Whether you’re heading further north into the Scottish Highlands, or using the holiday park as your main base, this well-equipped and family-friendly site offers facilities including an architect-designed heated amenities block with toilets and showers. There’s a launderette and washing-up area too so you can keep everybody and everything clean and shiny. Source bits and bobs for meals and barbecues in Coldstream convenience stores, or visit the town’s pubs, restaurants and takeaways if your idea of being on holiday does not involve any cooking at all.

Kev N. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked: friendly wardens, lovely clean site, flat level pitches. Easy walk into coldstream where there are 2 pubs, takeaways and chip shop. Hirsel estate in 5 minutes away with lovely walks etc.

Disliked: Not a dislike more of an opinion, Showers were a bit small and cramped. only 2 showers in the mens toilets and a disabled room, there is another shower and toilet behind the facilities block but it too is very small. Could do with a bigger toilet block for the amount of tents, tourers and camping pods.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked: Lots of activities in close proximity to the park

Disliked: Facilities for touring could be better... The chemical toilet and hose was inaccessible due to car parked in front then still obstructed by the fence..hose pipe needs to be longer for fresh water and rolled up off the ground so it is kept hygienic... No hairdryers and the shower block small not the easiest to use.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for leaving your review ... We do apologise for our pick up obstructing the chemical waste area, this is never for longer than 5 minutes while the team drop off linen .. we don't actually provide hoses for the fresh water, we expect each tourer guest to have their own, I can only imagine a prior guest has left theirs behind .. we do also have 2 extra individual shower units behind which you may have found easier to use .. sorry to not have met your expectations on this occasion .. From Team CHP ..

Beautiful location and views over river tweed and distant hills. Quiet.…

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Excellent communication from the site and very friendly. The whole site was well maintained including the washrooms. The park had free wifi which reached to the camping field.

Disliked: A little too close to a main road for our liking as traffic noise could be heard.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Views are stunning, facilities very clean and disabled access. Beautiful walks from campsite by river tweed. Close to shops, golf course 30 secs down the road.

Disliked: Fire alarm went off in disabled facilities after using shower for 2 mins. couldn't get a hold of night watchman or reception. Took 30 mins for it to be turned off and even then it was turned off remotely.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review ... We have managed to solve the issue of the sensitive alarm, I believe the warden was dealing with another issue at the same time and popped down to switch off the alarm as soon as was able ... Kind regards, the Coldstream Team ...

Local attractions

Coldstream (five minutes’ drive) has much to offer in the way of history. This border town changed hands between the English and Scots many times over the centuries and is now home to informative military history displays in Coldstream Museum. It’s also home to the Hirsel Estate, with lakeside dog walks, lovely gardens to wander around, and craft shops where you can pick up some souvenir tartan. A little further afield you’ll come across a series of austere ruined castles, including Twizel (10 minutes), Norham and Etal (both 20 minutes), all once responsible for keeping English bandits out of Scotland. The romantic and remote remains of Dryburgh Abbey (half an hour) are also worth a visit – especially at dusk when they have a haunting beauty. On the English side of the border, drive across the causeway to Holy Island (40 minutes, check tide times) to see art deco Lindisfarne Castle (45 minutes), or head to Bamburgh (40 minutes) to spend the day on its extensive sandy beach. At Alnwick Castle (50 minutes), kids can explore the poison gardens, spot Harry Potter film locations and take broomstick-riding lessons.
