Riverside holiday park within walking distance of Kelso town centre
About Springwood Holiday Park
Springwood Holiday Park sits on the banks of the River Teviot on the western edge of Kelso, close enough to the town centre that guests can walk in for dinner or to browse the Square's independent shops. Run by Argyll Holidays, the park is set within mature estate parkland and combines a substantial collection of caravans and holiday lodges, some with private outdoor hot tubs, with the kind of riverside setting that makes it feel considerably more rural than its short distance from town would suggest.
Families are well catered for, with a children's play area, a kids' pool room and a laundrette all on site, along with fire pits and a lounge bar for evenings when the Borders weather keeps everyone indoors. Dogs are welcome throughout the park, and the riverside walks along the Teviot give an easy, level route for an evening stroll without needing to get in the car. Local fishing access adds a further draw for anglers wanting to combine a stay with time on the water.
The park's position makes it a sensible base for exploring both Kelso itself and the wider Borders, with Floors Castle, Kelso Abbey and the town's racecourse all within a few minutes' drive, and the Cheviot Hills and Abbey towns of Melrose and Jedburgh comfortably reachable within half an hour. Weekend entertainment and food events run through the main season, giving the park a sociable atmosphere that suits families and groups as much as couples after a quiet riverside break.
