Camptown is a small village on the A68, in the Cheviot Hills in Roxburghshire, five miles south of Jedburgh, and the same distance north of the bounadry of Northumberland at Carter Bar.
The village stands beside the course of the Jed Water, in a small, steep-sided valley. To the south, on the hillslope climbing up from the burn, are the remains of a peel tower.
Other places nearby are Bairnkine, Bonchester Bridge, Crailing, Edgerston, Ferniehirst Castle, Hobkirk, the Jed Water, Mossburnford, Newbigging and Oxnam.
