We are passionate about our caravan parks being run by family members. We feel this offers an approachable, face to face, personalized experience that other more ‘corporate’ sites are unable to provide. We have a strong foundation of family values with our third generation committed to upholding these as we adapt and grow as a family business.
High Gaitle is a quiet rural caravan and camping site on the border of England and Scotland. The Fairclough family own and run the park and also have a sister park specialising in static caravans in Northumberland that has been in the family for over 35 years. High Gaitle sits one mile outside the village of Longtown, and is also only 3 miles from Gretna Green. This makes it England's last campsite before crossing the border!
There is ample space for 30 tent /tourers / motorhomes, 16 of which have access to an electric hook up. 5 hook ups have hard standing areas whilst the rest are grass pitches. We have toilet and shower facilities, and a disabled access bathroom as well as a utility room for washing up etc! Our manager, Steven Fairclough lives on site giving guests peace of mind and a friendly face. The 6 acre park is flat with an array of trees at its perimeter and a few mature trees dotted around in the heart of the park. The monkey puzzle tree is particularly spectacular. We welcome families and for those with pets there is more than enough space to take a walk both onsite and nearby.
Sections of the western Hadrian's Wall are close by for those looking to complete the whole route whilst those looking to shop need look no further than Gretna Gateway or Carlisle city centre. A little further afield at around 40 minutes driving is Keswick which lies in the heart of the Lake District National Park, allowing guests to experience unrivalled mountain views and hikes. Northumberland is only 30 minutes away and with Glasgow being 90 minutes, guests visiting us have the opportunity to explore in every direction!
High Gaitle Caravan Park sits only 1 mile from Longtown, 3 miles from the iconic Gretna Green and 9 miles from the historic city if Carlisle! Due to its position the Northumberland National Park, Lake District National Park and Scotland are all within easy reach!
We are 2.5 miles from junction 45 of the M6 on the A6071.
