Quick Read Campsite Summary

Bonchester Bridge Camping & Caravan Park is a quiet riverside site surrounded by woodland in the village of Bonchester Bridge, in the Scottish Borders. Well-proportioned pitches accommodate tents, trailer tents, roof tents, campervans, motorhomes and touring caravans, with electric hook-up and riverside views available on some pitches. An additional grass area opens for tent camping during August. Dogs are welcome, and the season runs from 1 May to 30 September, with online booking available.

The modern toilet and shower block also contains washing facilities and charging points. Mobile reception is virtually non-existent, so it is worth planning for limited connectivity; the Horse & Hounds pub next door offers free Wi-Fi alongside food and drink. Fire pits can be hired from the campsite office, with fires kept off the grass and safely clear of tents.

Hawick, six miles away, is the practical stop for stocking up and has several reasons to linger. The Borders Distillery offers guided tours led by its distillers, explaining the production process and including tastings. For a walk during a visit to town, Wilton Lodge Park follows the River Teviot and combines woodland paths with a walled garden, café and play park. Hawick Museum, within the park, adds displays ranging from archaeology and Victorian life to exhibitions celebrating local motorcycle racing champions Jimmie Guthrie and Steve Hislop.

About Bonchester Bridge Camping & Caravan Park

Bonchester Bridge Riverside Park is a quiet and peaceful Scottish Borders campsite located within the village of Bonchester. The site is open during the Summer months and has a mixture of pitches for tents and campervans, some pitches benefiting from electric hook up and riverside views but all are suitable for tents and campervans. During the month of August there is a larger open grass area which is also available to book for tents. All of the pitches are well proportioned, meaning they are suitable for tents, trailer tents, roof tents, motorhomes, campervans, tourers and anything else! There is virtually no mobile signal, however, there is free wifi in the Horse & Hounds pub next door, which also offers food and drink. There is a modern toilet & shower bock which also houses washing facilities and charging points. A short drive away you will find Hawick (6 miles) which has everything you need to stock up, and for those who love whisky it is the home of The Borders Distillery (tours run daily). Fire pits are available to rent from the campsite office where fires are permitted so long as they are off the grass and a safe distance from tents (fire wood available to purchase or bring your own). It is possible to paddle in the river, this is done at your own risk and should only be done by competent swimmers and during times of the river running low and slow.
