The hills roll wide and quiet here, where the Borders sky meets rough grassland and the only sound might be wind through gorse or a distant bleat.

This is proper wild camping — just three pitches, so it suits anyone craving solitude and self-reliance. Tents, campervans, and caravans are all welcome, though with facilities unspecified you'll want to arrive prepared for off-grid living. The Scottish Borders reward those who pack light and plan ahead: walkers tackling the Southern Upland Way, couples after dark skies, anyone who finds peace in emptiness rather than playgrounds.

Campfires may be allowed — check when you arrive, as conditions and land management vary. Expect simplicity, space, and the kind of night where stars actually matter. This isn't a site for first-timers or families needing loos and showers; it's for campers who know what wild means and wouldn't have it any other way.
