A campsite within driving distance of Edinburgh has been named one of the best in the UK, thanks to its safari lodges and opportunities for deer spotting.
Luxury travel mag Conde Nast Traveller has just published its list of 'the best places to go camping this summer', featuring a number of campsites across the UK in the likes of Devon, the Peak District and Dorset, as well as Scottish sites in Dumfries and Galloway and on the Isle of Mull.
With Conde Nast writers heralding 'the new era of camping', one site - Ruberslaw Wild Woods Camping & Glamping - just 90 minutes away from Edinburgh city centre, could be the perfect place to escape the capital this summer.

The popular spot has been included in the Best in the UK guide on account of its stunning views, beautiful barn and the diverse wildlife surrounding the site, and is considered a great place for families to enjoy a break.
Here's what Conde Nast had to say about Borders camping area, which is located between Hawick and Jedburgh:
"A family-run campsite that can be whatever you want it to be, with safari lodges for glampers, family pitches inside an Edwardian walled garden and, in the woods at the foot of Ruberslaw Mountain, a good 15-minute walk from the rest of the site, camping pitches with views of the Cheviot Hills (and plenty of squirrels).
"It’s a place to spot roe deer and, if you’re lucky, badgers, then head to the reading room in the old greenhouse and settle down with a book beneath the rafter-high, decades-old vines.
"The barn is home to a family of swallows that you can watch darting in and out of the eves."
And it appears plenty of people agree with the magazine's assessment of Ruberslaw, with the site having an achieved an average rating of 4.8/5 out of on Google Reviews.
Some visitors have hailed it as 'the best campsite for kids', with one guest heralding it as 'a magical well set up place.'
