About the site
Pitches here are beautifully different, with a great range of spaces to choose from. You can camp in an Edwardian walled garden, with its orchard and terraced lawns, in tents of any size. The garden has plenty of original features, a glass house and space for lawn games. It's an area of tranquil quiet. Groups and individuals can also make themselves comfy in woodland pitches with gorgeous views, which are between ten and 20 minutes from the main hub. Woodland areas are secluded, and each has a maximum of seven pitches. Minto View woodland is around a 15 minutes walk away, via an uphill track, family friendly with ten pitches spread out in the woodland. Castle View is an adult only pitch and about ten minutes away via a woodland path and then uphill through fields with steps. Fancy glamping? You'll be bound to love the site's four safari tents or the two delightful mini safari tents. Each set is in lovely natural surroundings. Inside the off-grid tents, you'll have your own private camp kitchen, lamp lighting, gas stove, comfy beds and your own veranda to take in the tranquillity. Choose from Woodland Escape (five minutes walk through woodland, including steps) or Roe Deer Rest, the most secluded site, around a 25 minute walk via an uphill track and then across fields. Hillside Hideaway is about 15 minutes walk with a huge view of the Teviot and Rulewater valleys. Kestrel's Keep nestles into its woodland, about a ten minute walk. The mini safari tents each sleep two people on two single beds, both approximately 15 minutes walk. They have a covered verandah and hammocks in the trees. The site has a strong eco ethos, with careful thought put into caring for the environment in all areas. Dogs are welcome to join campers and glampers.
Ruberslaw Wild Woods Camping is open from 28/03 to 01/11 in 2025 and from 27/03 to 19/10 in 2026. Pitches from £33/night for 2 people.
