Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Loved this site. Motorhome pitches around a centrally located toilet block so it’s a short walk regardless of where you park.
As with other reviews the toilet block is perfectly adequate and absolutely spotless. The addition of a sink in each toilet cubicle is a nice touch.
Location is perfect for A7 in to the Scottish Borders (1/2 mile) and the M6.
Situated on an A road so really easy to find, but wasn’t so busy that it caused any issues. Used as a base for trips in to Carlisle only 15 minutes away.
Would definitely recommend and use again.

Disliked Nothing at all.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked We stayed for 6 nights and loved it. Very clean site the toilets and shower block were fantastic. I was provided a key for the disabled washroom which was spacious and even had a shower seat.
The site was busy over the bank holiday weekend but still peaceful.
The owners were so helpful especially when we arrived and were having a spot of bother with our awning...which we were very grateful for.

Disliked Shame there's no recycling facilities

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou so much for choosing our park to spend the bank holiday and following days!
We really appreciate your very positive feedback.
We set up a contract with a waste management company within days of purchasing the park that includes an 1100 Litre recycling bin. We are still waiting delivery of this and have been assured its arrival is imminent.
We hope you'll join us again in the future.
Kind regards,
Stuart and Steven

Local attractions

Sticking to the English side of the border first, you may like to head to Carlisle (20 minutes' drive) for the castle, cathedral and Tullie House Museum, perhaps taking a detour to Walby Farm Park (15 minutes), Solway Aviation Museum (20 minutes) or Cumberland Bird of Prey Centre (20 minutes) en route. Head further down the M6 and you’ll get to the Lake District National Park (about half an hour) for walks, watersports and boat trips. There are lots of great walks over to the east, too, in the Northumberland National Park or the North Pennines National Landscape. Some of those trails take in sections of Hadrian’s Wall – or you can head directly to top spots like the Roman Army Museum (half an hour) and Housesteads Roman Fort (40 minutes). Moving north into Scotland, your first stop will surely be Gretna (five minutes) – you may not be eloping, as many couples once did, but the designer outlet may still furnish you with a new outfit or two. From there, it’s not far at all to places like Annandale Distillery (15 minutes) and The Devil’s Porridge Museum (10 minutes), telling the story of Gretna’s World War I munitions factory.
