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 boundary 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.
