This is a truly beautiful space. We've stayed in lots of yurts and this is the nicest by far. It's fab to have somewhere to sit inside if you need. But lovely spots outside too. The kitchen area is really useful and has everything you'd need. We followed the instructions for the shower and it worked perfectly. I loved the full length window to lay in bed and watch the sunset. Best of all if you're as anti social as me..... It's totally on it own! We re already planning our next visit.

It was so nice to get away from it all and relax in the serene surroundings. Bluebell pitch was exactly as described with some amazing trees. The wildlife (including a tawny owl, woodpecker and a frog) were an unexpected bonus. I would definitely recommend the site to everyone. Thank you Ruth for a lovely stay.

Campsites with swimming near Jedburgh guide

Where to go

Around Town

The St Cuthbert's Way 62-mile (100-kilometre) long-distance trail passes through Jedburgh on its way from Melrose to Lindisfarne (Holy Island) off the coast of Northumberland, England. Long-distance walkers and others wanting to spend the night in Jedburgh can set up camp at the small Jedburgh Camping and Caravanning Club Site. Just outside town, it has pitches for tents and tourers.

Ancrum

A 10-minute drive north of Jedburgh, the small village of Ancrum is set by the Ale River and enjoys a peaceful, rural setting. Just north of the village, and surrounded by countryside, Lilliardsedge Holiday Park and Golf Course has pitches for tents and tourers, as well as its own nine-hole golf course.

Hawick

Fifteen minutes west of Jedburgh, Hawick is primarily known for its rich textile heritage, particularly knitwear and cashmere, and for its annual spectacle of horsemanship, the Common Ridings. Midway between Hawick and Jedburgh, Wild Woods Camping Ruberslaw offers a variety of tent pitches, including pitches inside the site’s attractive walled garden.

When to go

With its mild climate, Jedburgh and the surrounding Scottish Borders region is a year-round destination, but best experienced in the summer when the sun is (with luck) shining and the calendar is filled with activities, including the Common Ridings, which take place in various towns over the summer period. Bear in mind that July and August, when the Scottish schools are on holiday, is peak tourist season so booking sites in advance is recommended.

Know before you go

Not all sites in the area open year-round: check opening dates before travelling.
If you choose to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. Note that wild camping is not legal over the border in England.
While you can get around by using public buses, having your own transport offers more flexibility. The closest train station is Tweedbank, which is a 45-minute bus journey away.
There are a few small supermarkets in Jedburgh but you’ll find more options in Hawick.
