Why stay here ...
LOW 10% refundable deposit plus FREE cancellations and FREE amendments*
Melrose Gibson Park Club Campsite is nestled on the edge of Melrose in a peaceful setting that is overlooked by the beautiful Eilden Hills, once named Trimontium by the Romans. A short walk from the caravan park are the charming shops, lovely restaurants and pubs and historic buildings of Melrose, including the famous ruins of Melrose Abbey, the resting place of Robert the Bruce's heart.
Walking enthusiasts will be delighted when visiting Melrose Gibson Park Club Campsite - there are 1,500 miles of footpaths to explore along the banks of the Tweed or by hiking up into the High Country to view the Borders' picturesque, rural patchwork. The caravan site also gives you easy access to excellent cycle routes as well as fishing in the River Tweed. Nearby Gibson Park has 60 pitches for golfing enthusiasts and if you are a fan of rugby, the second Saturday in April hosts the annual Melrose Sevens Rugby Tournament. Another event not to be missed is the colourful Melrose Festival, held in mid June each year. There is plenty to see and do in the local area and the site is also well placed for exploring the Scottish Borders.
Visitors to Melrose Gibson Park can now take advantage of the new railway line that connects the Scottish Borders to Edinburgh. The site is around 1.5 miles (30 minutes' walk) from Tweedbank Station, and the train can get you into the heart of Edinburgh in just 55 minutes, avoiding the traffic and park and ride.

One of our goto sites!
Melrose Gibson Park Club Campsite
Despite being only 60 miles away it's one of out favourite sites, especially for the first run of the year when checking the van out, plenty of store such as B&Q and Halfords in Galashiels for any DiY fixes,
Site itself is well laid out with a pretty good dog walk on site.
Facilities are the usual CAMC standard and kept immaculate.
Locally its literally 200yds from front gate to a well stocked Coop, another 100yds and you are in the town centre with a good selection of butchers and bakers and an awesome charity shop!! (lets say it reflects the wealth of the area)
There is a superb river walk that brings you up by the Abbey and into town centre - around 3mls.
Galashiels is only 7 mls away with a great selection of big and local shops - Tesco, Asda, Pets at Home, BnQ, Halfords etc
Great Location in Town
Melrose Gibson Park Club Campsite
The site is right in the middle of Melrose, so an easy walk to the Abbey (under renovation at the moment) and a couple of associated gardens which open in April. A short stroll has you on the riverbank, and there is a supermarket and a few pubs and restaurants right outside.The rugby club is just across the road. Wardens were friendly and welcoming, and the facilities were up to the usual club standards, although only 4 W.C. for quite a few vans. I would book an awning pitch if I went again as there are only a few without and they are located in a big tarmac area behind the admin block.
Great location and layout
Melrose Gibson Park Club Campsite
Great stay. Location is fab and pitches well laid out. Definitely recommend. Only criticism was that when I was washing up (which is in an outdoor area) someone came out of the chemical toilet disposal room and I got a terrible smell from it!
Excellent Site
Melrose Gibson Park Club Campsite
Well located site midway between Edinburgh and Newcastle in lovely borders town. 100 yards to bustling High Street with cafes, pubs, eateries in abundance. 2 small but well stocked supermarkets in easy walking distance. Lots of walks from site with excellent walking guide to purchase available from site shop. Very dog friendly locality, feels very welcoming. One of our favourite sites.

Melrose Gibson Park Club Campsite
This is a site that we use a lot, mostly at weekends because it only takes about an hour for us to get there. We love it here being right in the town centre you have everything you need at hand, there are plenty of places to eat and have a drink if that's what you like. You have a supermarket right on your doorstep to get provisions. There are lots of good walks whatever direction you go in when you leave the site. Our last weekend for this year was 2nd/3rd of December, the wardens on were Mark & Sam who were very friendly/chatty. Mark had his work cut out trying to keep the water pipes flowing as had frozen up due to low temperatures. We have always found the wardens approachable which ever ones have been on duty, the permanent or relief.
