Entrance to Borthwick Scout Campsite: a metal field gate and wooden fence under tall trees, with blue Scouts Borthwick Scout Campsite signs, and a grassy field beyond

If you’re searching for an incredible camping experience, Borthwick Scout Campsite is the perfect destination for your section. Our campsite offers a perfect blend of outdoor adventure, personal growth and digital detox, all within a short drive (or walk!) from Gorebridge.
