Date of Visit: September 2014 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Headgardener 37 reviews from this member

 We only stopped one night as we were attending a function locally and were then heading south.

The owner was very friendly when we arrived and we had booked an 'electric inclusive' pitch. It was level with plenty room for us. There were other pitches which had 'payment by card' arrangements for electric.

We did not spend much time on the site but certainly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

I can not comment on the toilets/showers as we use our own facilities.

The only slight negative is the access through the housing estate with cars parked on either side of the road but it did not cause us a problem with a large caravan.

Reviewer: Newt03 10 reviews from this member

 Pitched up for the weekend in my new caravan. The lady on reception was very friendly and explain the site lay out well to us. Was informed that they normally provide meals but chief on his Holiday.

We had plenty of room on our pitch. But this helped because the site was about empty. Think it would be a bit tight if the park was busy. The toilet block was not as modern as some. But kept very clean. £1 for showers, never tried them as used our own.

There was a very popular bar on site which seem quite nice. Having a pool table and slot machine. Nice pint. Also a small handy shop.

The fact that there was some empty spaces were static caravans used to be. Made the place look a tad messy. But maybe being filled for next season. Also a small playground.

What really liked about this site and what would make me return. Was it was right near the river. Which was great for dog walking. Also a nice flat path for cycling. My youngest of 4 managed a round trip almost to Peebles 11 miles.

Within cycling distance you had the world famous 7 stanes Mountain bike trails. Also a new GO APE at Glentess.

 Last year we stayed at this site in a tent for one night during a bikepacker tour. There was some kind of domestic going on from the contract builder/roofers site attached which kept us awake most of the night. So for this years spring bike tour we thought we'd stop in one of the Pods which would be quieter. So this April we stopped in a pod for one night which has a wall mounted heater and carpeted floor. The price (£35 last years price) was way over the top for what is provided. The showers which were spotless and well lit are £1 each visit.

The site itself looks onto some beautiful hills that surround it and are awesome when the sunrise hits them. Innerleithen itself is a great little place with everything a camper would need for groceries and takeaways that are delivered to the site. On the site there seems to be a lot of contract builders and roofers who have there own shower block and facilities. At midnight on Tuesday we had the pleasure of country and western played at full blast coming from one of the contractors range rovers, at 12. 30 when I had to take a look I realised why the music was playing so loud, it was so the other 20 or so people having a BBQ could hear the music. This went on till 01. 00 when to the sound of Dolly Parton I passed out. The 60 mile bike ride next day was tough to say the least. We wont be going back. There seems to be lots of empty spaces appearing which is a shame. 


Date of Visit: June 2011 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Gitta 21 reviews from this member

 This campsite is in a very nice setting by the River Tweed.

The wardens were very friendly and we were allowed to choose our own pitch with (currently) 'free' electricity (the hook-ups are being changed over to prepay, presumably to pay for the amount of electricity used rather than a fixed charge).

Toilet block was clean and tidy but the showers were very expensive. Very quiet site since a lot of the statics were unoccupied.

Lovely walks by the river and the shops are only a short walk away through the housing estate.

 The site is lovely. Friendly owners and very clean and neat with great grass and gravel hard standing for touring outfits. Great walks by the river and the town is very pleasant.

One thing we didn't like was the dishwashing sink in the toilets. I felt very strange about doing the dishes in the same room as people using the toilet.

One other point for motorhome owners is that it's difficult to fill your water tank and empty waste as the tap and waste water drop is hard up against the toilet block wall and the tap has a short hose (about 18') attached to it.

For this reason we would only be able to stay for two or three days. With a motorhome point and a proper dishwashing area it would be perfect.

Date of Visit: September 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: SuzyQ2 3 reviews from this member

 This is the friendliest caravan site we have ever stayed at in the Borders. The owners have plenty of time for you and keep the park spotless.

The views are wonderful and there is access directly from the site to the footpath by the River Tweed and up into the hills via a bridge. You do wonder at first if you are going the right way as the park is right at the bottom of a housing estate but this was not a problem as we never heard any noise and I asked some of the static owners who stay for the season and they were very happy with everything.

The Park owners have been there for 19 yrs and they have a personal pride in it which shows. Lovely flat, well kept pitches for statics, tourers and tents, they also have camping pods to rent. Good toilet facilities with plenty of hot water although £1 per shower was the most we have paid anywhere ever!

Its a good location for either touring in the car or walking up the hills. The town is a 15 mins walk where you can get essentials - Supermarket, Paper shop, etc. Will definitely return - hopefully there will be better weather next time. 


Date of Visit: May 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Leafletter 28 reviews from this member

 The tent area is perfectly flat with springy lush grass, which is more unusual than you'd think. Very quiet with hardly any other tents, until a pair of potty-mouthed mountain bikers turned up. There was to be a mountain biking event in Innerleithen at the weekend and would be very busy.

The facilities are spotless and modern but unheated. The shower was hot and long-lasting for £1. Views from the campsite are stunning, and it is located in a particularly beautiful area. 


Date of Visit: August 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Twoboys 9 reviews from this member

 This is very much a caravan site, with just two very small areas for tents, but we only needed a base for one night on our way up to Northern Scotland, and it was ideal. We'd booked in advance, but they could find no record of that - no matter, they found us a pitch anyway (at about 5pm). The tents are quite close together but there were no more than ten and it was very quiet in the evening.

The view was delightful, and the gate to the riverside walk was right next to the tent area. We heard some drunken idiots walking along the path at about 1 am, but they were on the other side of the very high hedge, and the kids slept through it.

Facilities were excellent - £1 tokens needed for showers, but they last 15 minutes, and will be refunded if you don't use them all. Children under a certain age (10?) weren't allowed to use the facilities on their own.

Reviewer: Traceygill 5 reviews from this member

 After driving through the housing estate you don't really notice it on the site as there are lots of trees hiding the houses.

As there are no defined tent pitches, you are charged by the size of the tent and as ours is a 6 berth it cost us £24 per night (the dearest site we stayed on). The pitches are at the back of the site and aren't overlooked by the caravans.

The toilet block was clean and had lots of toilets and sinks along with one dishwashing sink in each male & female toilets. There are only 3 showers in each male & female block and the room could be dark as there was only a small window and no light was on during the day but was lit up at night time, the £1 tokens were bought from the shop but you did get 15mins of hot water (buy the tokens at night for the next day as the shop didn't open till 10 am).

The site was well kept but mostly static caravans and although a small area for tents had plenty of room.

You have to book in at the shop but it does have pretty irregular opening hrs which may cause problems,

Reviewer: Ola + John 5 reviews from this member

 Excellent site, staff very friendly and made us welcome, toilet and showers very clean,ideal site for touring this area. Site is located in centre of council estate, which at times due to parked vehicles made access/egress difficult, this could be a big problem for long twin axle units, also limited parking space at reception area for booking in. Site is only a short distance from shops, pubs, restaurants. The icing on the cake was a walk along the river Tweed (which runs at the edge of the caravan park) were we saw an otter.
