Which way will you go – north to Scotland, west to the Solway coast, east to Hadrian’s Wall or south to Carlisle and the Lake District? The options are indeed plentiful when you stay at High Gaitle Caravan Park, a quiet family-run site in the Cumbria countryside. This handily located site is just off the A6071 between Longtown (two minutes’ drive) and Gretna (five minutes), putting it almost on the border between Scotland and England. Easy access to/from the M6, A7 and National Cycle Route 7 make this a useful spot for a short stopover on a long journey, but as you can see from the list above there are plenty of options for entertainment nearby if you’re staying over for a longer break. It’s a fairly simple setup here, with an emphasis on doing the essentials well rather than providing lots of facilities. That means you’ll have access to bathrooms (with a wheelchair-accessible area), a chemical disposal point and a washing-up area, but you shouldn't expect things like wifi or a play area. Pitches are nicely flat and sheltered by trees, and you’ll be allowed to bring along a barbecue for a bit of outdoor cookery. Dogs are also welcome on site. Need any help while you're here? Friendly manager Steven lives on site and is happy to offer local advice – the family have lived here for many years, so they certainly know their way around.

Wat klanten zeggen

Gasten prijzen de netheid, het vriendelijke personeel en de gunstige locatie nabij de M6, ideaal voor een tussenstop. Extraatjes zoals gratis toiletartikelen, thee, koffie en koekjes worden gewaardeerd. Ruime plaatsen en hondenweide worden ook genoemd. Wat wegenlawaai is er, en hoewel de faciliteiten schoon zijn, vonden sommigen ze gedateerd/klein. Managers geven aan dat verbeteringen worden doorgevoerd.

Staanplaats op gras , met elektriciteit

Ik was blij met 5 minutes drive from the M6 so ideal stop off point on way to scotland. Very spacious site, great facilities, always clean and well stocked up, owner very helpful and pleasant and always wondering round keeping the place perfect.

Van de manager: Thank you so much, Dan, what a fantastic review to receive.

We’re really pleased the park worked perfectly as a stop‑off on your way to Scotland. Hearing that you found it spacious, with great facilities that were always clean and well stocked, genuinely means a lot to us. Steven will be chuffed you thought he was helpful and pleasant, he’s forever wandering around making sure everything is just right, so your comment fits him perfectly.

Being only a few minutes from the M6 is something many guests appreciate, so it’s lovely to hear the location suited you well too.

Thank you for the brilliant 10/10. We’d be delighted to welcome you back to the park anytime.

Excellent stop over just off motorway.

Staanplaats op gras , met elektriciteit

Ik was blij met Ideal stop over on our way to Lossiemouth. Super friendly and helpful staff. Wash block exceptionally clean. Huge off lead dog field. Lastly, I’ve never been to a site that has free tea, coffee, biscuits and ice pops in the kitchen area, what an absolute gem! Highly recommend.

Ik was niet blij met Tiny bit of road noise at night but not enough to bother us.

Van de manager: Thank you so much, Tracey, what a wonderful review to receive.

We’re really pleased the park worked perfectly as a stopover on your journey to Lossiemouth. Hearing that you found the team super friendly, the wash block exceptionally clean, and the dog field a huge bonus genuinely means a lot to us. And we’re delighted you enjoyed the complimentary tea, coffee, biscuits and ice pops, those little touches are something we love offering, so it’s lovely to hear they stood out to you.

Thank you for mentioning the slight road noise too. As you say, it’s there in the background, but we’re glad it didn’t affect your stay or your 10/10 experience.

Spacious campsite, good facilities, everything you…

Staanplaats voor een tent of voor vouwwagen op gras zonder elektriciteit

Ik was blij met Spacious campsite, good facilities, everything you could need. Great sized dog exercise area! This is my second time here! I’ve used it twice as a stop over on my long drives and it’s been great.

Ik was niet blij met BEWARE of the midges!!! Obviously nothing can be done about this but something to know about beforehand to make sure sprays etc are packed!!

Aanbevelen aan vrienden Opnieuw bezoeken

Van de manager: Thank you so much, Heather, it’s lovely to welcome you back again.

We’re really glad you found the park spacious, peaceful and well‑equipped, and it’s great to hear the facilities and dog exercise area suited you so well. Knowing this was your second stopover with us genuinely means a lot; it’s wonderful that we’ve been a reliable place for you to rest on long journeys.

And yes… the midges. They do love a summer evening in the countryside. Thank you for mentioning it so other guests can come prepared, a good spray and a bit of planning definitely helps.

We really appreciate the 10/10 and your continued support. You’re always welcome back at the park whenever you’re passing through.

Not a bad site . Perfect stop off

Staanplaats op gras , met elektriciteit

Ik was blij met Complimentary icepops( the kids) tea and coffee and biscuits and wash stuff. Friendly staff and generally quiet.

Ik was niet blij met Bins in toilets not always emptied quick enough . Shower cubicles quite small and oddly high off ground.

Staanplaats op gras , met elektriciteit

Ik was blij met Very clean with plenty of hot water. Good utility block.
A good base for exploring the western borders.
Only a couple of hours from home so was good for a weekend break.
Good to have a seperate dog walking area.
Nice touch with complementary products in wash rooms and utility area.

Ik was niet blij met Very little space between units so could hear everyones conversations ( and arguments ! ) Would be a good idea to have grass electric pitches marked outclearly rather than random pitches.
Felt very crammed in on all sides. Perhaps extend grass pitches with electric to be around the edge of the site.
If visiting again would request a pitch on the outside of the area but feel unlikely to visit again.
Very noisy - not just the road noise ( i know you cant control this ) but dogs barking and children yelling late into the evening. Is there a noise policy?
Not enough general rubbish bins round the site.

Aanbevelen aan vrienden Opnieuw bezoeken

Van de manager: Thank you very much for your detailed and honest review, Caroline, we really do appreciate you taking the time to share both the positives and the areas where things didn’t quite suit your stay.

It’s lovely to hear you found the park clean, with plenty of hot water and a good utility block. We’re glad the location worked well for exploring the western borders and that being close to home made it an easy weekend break. It’s also great to know the separate dog‑walking area and the complimentary touches in the washrooms and utility room were appreciated.

We’re genuinely sorry that the layout of the grass electric pitches didn’t feel spacious enough for you. We understand how important personal space and a peaceful atmosphere are, especially for guests who prefer a quieter environment. Your feedback about clearer pitch marking and the suggestion to extend electric grass pitches around the edge is really helpful, it’s exactly the kind of insight that helps us improve the park layout over time.

Noise is something we take seriously, and while we can’t control the road, we do encourage considerate behaviour from guests. We’ll revisit how we communicate our quiet hours to make sure expectations are clear for everyone. Thank you also for mentioning the general rubbish bins we’ll look at how to make disposal easier.

We’re grateful for your kind comments and the 7/10, even though parts of your stay weren’t as peaceful as you’d hoped.

Hopefully I will get to visit for years to come. Lovely site.

Staanplaats voor caravan en camper op harde ondergrond en gras , met elektriciteit

Ik was blij met Nice welcome and very helpful. We loved the campsite, but we have been here many times in the past, so we knew we would love it.

Ik was niet blij met My only criticism would be the toilet and shower block. It would be better with a new and separate shower block that was more practical

Aanbevelen aan vrienden Opnieuw bezoeken

Van de manager: Thank you so much for your continued support, it genuinely means the world to us to hear you’ve visited many times over the years and still love staying at the park.

We’re really glad you felt welcomed and well looked after again; Steven and the family will be chuffed to know their efforts make a difference each time you return. Familiar faces are one of the best parts of running a family park, so your hope to keep visiting for years to come is incredibly special to us.

Thank you also for your honest feedback about the toilet and shower block. We completely understand where you’re coming from. While we keep everything spotless and well‑maintained, we know the current layout isn’t as modern or practical as some guests would prefer. Improving and upgrading the facilities is something we’re actively working towards, and thoughtful comments like yours help guide those plans.

Your 10/10 and loyalty mean a great deal. We’d be delighted to welcome you back again, for many more years, we hope.

The cleniness.…

Ik was blij met We had a lovely stay here and will definitely be back! The campsite was spotless, really welcoming, and had everything we needed. Our dog loved the secure fenced-in exercise park, and the complimentary ice creams were such a thoughtful touch. A fantastic campsite with friendly owners—we'd highly recommend it!

Van de manager: Thank you so much, Sonya, what a joy to read your review.

We’re absolutely delighted you had a lovely stay and that you’d definitely return. Hearing that the park felt spotless, welcoming and fully equipped with everything you needed really means a lot to us. We’re also thrilled your dog enjoyed the secure exercise area, it’s become a favourite for many four‑legged guests.

And thank you for mentioning the complimentary ice creams; we love adding those little touches to make stays feel special. Steven and the family will be chuffed to hear you found the owners friendly and the whole experience fantastic.

Your 10/10 and high recommendation truly mean the world. We’d be so happy to welcome you back to the park again.

Staanplaats op gras , met elektriciteit

Ik was blij met We had a lovely stay at this campsite. It was a quiet, peaceful site. The staff member who checked us in was helpful and made us feel very welcome.

The toilet block and utility areas were kept really clean throughout our stay, which was much appreciated. A lovely little touch was the free ice pops for the children!

Ik was niet blij met It would be good to have more electric pitches so that you aren’t as close to other tents but we coped okay as the people near us were quiet and kept to themselves. But overall really liked the site!

Aanbevelen aan vrienden Opnieuw bezoeken

Van de manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re really pleased you had a peaceful, enjoyable stay and felt so welcome on arrival — that means a lot to us. It’s great to hear the toilet block and utility areas were kept clean throughout your visit, and we’re glad the free ice pops went down well with the children.

Thank you also for your helpful comment about electric pitch spacing. We understand how a little extra room can make things feel more comfortable, but we’re glad it didn’t affect your stay and that your neighbours were quiet and considerate.

Overall, we’re delighted you really liked the park and rated us 9/10. We’d be very happy to welcome you and your family back again.

Lokale bezienswaardigheden

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.
