  • Kitchen, wifi, indoor common areas, flower garden and games lawn
My, my is there much to see and do at Ruberslaw Wild Woods Camping, a 500-acre site inside an Edwardian walled garden and woodland setting in the Teviot Valley Special Landscape Area of the Scottish Borders. At this pristine park, chances for walking, cycling and relaxing really are all around… Helping you with the restful element of your hol is the common Hub with its undercover courtyard and open fireplace (get wood from reception). When it comes to walking, that’s a cinch too as you can wander past pond terraces, a flower garden, games lawn and old orchard without setting foot off site; head to the wild wood edging the manicured landscape to see smaller animals like hare and shrew as well as bigger creatures such as the badger, fox, weasel, ferret and roe deer among the trees. If you’ve got your sights set on cycling, you can take on a 10-mile warm-up trail to Bonchester Bridge (almost seven miles away) from the park and return via the other side of the Rare valley. Mountain bikers can head to the summit of Ruberslaw or over the hill and through the woods, and the Jeddart Justice Trail is within easy access for keen riders too. When back on base after muddy escapades make a beeline for the boot-washing facilities to get cleaned up then pick up local produce like burgers, bacon and sausages from the on-site shop to cook in one of the firebowls. You could also head over to Denholm (just over a five-minute drive away) and refuel at one of the two pubs, Italian restaurant or café. A well-equipped kitchen is also on site for making meals; other amenities include showers, toilets and washing areas with underfloor heating.

Woodland 2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the safari tent, which was amazing! If we’d have had more time, we’d have loved to have stayed longer. Faculties were great. We had everything we needed provided and the staff were lovely. Could t ask for more.

Disliked: Nothing to note

Minto View non-electric forest floor tent pitch (small, wild, woodland)

Liked: The campsite was beautiful, well equipped with fresh water, a thunder box, log seating by the fire pit. The views were stunning and the staff were very helpful, they drove our bags down from the pitch at check out because its a 15 minute walk to the secluded woods at Minto view. Overall amazing experience. We will absolutely be back but for longer next time.

Home Wood non-electric forest floor tent pitch (medium, wild, woodland)

Liked: Very enjoyable camping in the woods, good compost toilets and water next to pitches, good fire drums and log benches, great views and varied interesting woodland and grounds. Staff very helpful.

Disliked: Woodland pitches require you to transfer everything from car to an transport up the pitches, a 10 min walk uphill - means you cannot pump up airbeds from car power - makes it a longer set up but once you know this you can prepare and am sure it will fine the next time we visit and we defiantly will

Walled Garden non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)

Liked: The grounds, the forest, shop, communal area and staff were lovely and friendly.

Disliked: I found the website tricky to manage so couldn’t books group to be beside each other. People putting away glass recycling in the late evening. Can you put up a larger sign post to the Recycling bins. I didn’t see them for the first day and felt so bad.
