Sprinter-Type Campervan - Hardstanding EcoGrid Pitches (Optional Electric)Sep 2024

Ewes Water Caravan Park is located within Langholm Rugby Club grounds. We were lucky enough to arrive on a day when Langholm were playing at home. We watched the match and had a beer from the clubhouse bar, which was very reasonably priced. Although it stayed open until around 11pm, there was absolutely no noise to disturb us. It has 3 drinking water stations, with rubbish bins, and 1 waste area to put your grey water and chemical toilet waste. You don't have too far to walk into Langholm itself, which is a very picturesque little town. We walked in to have lunch at one of the cafes. The food was good, and again, very reasonably priced (Pelosi's Corner Cafe). There's around 25 pitches for caravans, camper vans, motorhomes and tents. Loved our stay and we will return soon.

Excellent value for money

A note from the site themselves...

Ewes Water Caravan and Camping Park was set up by Langholm Rugby Club in 1992, on their old training ground, with the vision it would help sustain the club's long-term future.

The site is run by volunteers from the rugby club who take great personal care of the site and immense pride in offering visitors an enjoyable stay.

Why not ask for a tour of the clubrooms, steeped in history, the club dates back to 1871, recently celebrating their 150th anniversary, where they are the 8th oldest rugby club in Scotland and the oldest club in the Scottish Borders - heartland of Scottish rugby, boasting full Scotland internationals and British Lions.

Anyone who stays at the site automatically becomes a member for the duration of your stay - so keep your eyes peeled for the fixture list by checking out our Facebook page or make a note in your diary for April for the extremely popular Annual Rugby 7s!

The beautiful Northumberland National Park is a short 30 minute drive away, with rolling hills, starry night skies and fascinating wildlife it's the perfect spot for nature lovers.

Enjoy a relaxing afternoon at the beautiful Walled Garden at Arkleton, just ten minutes away, where you can pick-your-own flowers, and indulge in homemade cake and coffee made by owner Kate who is always happy to chat about the gardens.
