Recognised with a 5 AA Platinum Pennant and a 5-star rating from Visit England, Herding Hill Farm caters to campers, glampers, and touring enthusiasts alike.

The campsite boasts a prime location, offering easy access to the historic Hadrian's Wall, a World Heritage Site since 1987. The Wall and its surroundings provide a breathtaking backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts, promising hours and days of unforgettable exploration. Families with children of all ages will find the area rich in attractions, with stunning views and natural wilderness to inspire the adventurer in everyone.

Accommodation options at Herding Hill are diverse, welcoming tents, touring vehicles, and those seeking a touch of luxury in glamping pods, wigwam cabins or a luxury lodge, complete with outdoor hot tub.

The campsite's amenities building is a testament to its commitment to comfort. The luxury 5-star facilities include under-floor heating, ensuring a cosy atmosphere regardless of the weather. Free hot power showers and toilets are available in both men's and ladies' facilities, with the latter featuring two baths, perfect for a relaxing soak after a day of exploring Hadrian's Wall. Families can also enjoy the convenience of a private family bathroom/shower room, equipped with a bathtub, shower, WC, and baby change.

For those seeking relaxation, an 8-person unisex sauna is tucked away in a private corner of the amenities building, available for exclusive use at a nominal fee. Additionally, an indoor information and camper's kitchen area provides campers and glampers the flexibility to prepare meals indoors when the Northumberland weather is less forgiving. The space includes sinks, a kettle, a microwave, tables, chairs, and vending machines for hot drinks and confectionery.

Laundry needs are met with an extended laundry room featuring coin-operated washing machines and tumble dryers, available for a small fee. An indoor Elsan waste disposal point and a dedicated hot water dog wash, new for 2023, enhance the convenience for campers and their furry friends.

Families with young children will appreciate the large, enclosed play area, complete with a fort, toddler's pirate ship, disc swing, and safety-enhancing play bark. The focus on safety extends to the petting farm, where campers can interact with rabbits, guinea pigs, alpacas, a donkey, goats, a Shetland pony, and piglets, fostering a sense of connection to the campsite's friendly animal residents.

A licensed shop on-site stocks a selection of local produce and convenience items, including personal hygiene products, local ales, wine, ice cream, confectionery, and BBQ meat packs.

Connectivity is not forgotten at Herding Hill, with free Wi-Fi available throughout the campsite. Despite the rural location, recent upgrades and strategically placed masts enhance the quality of the internet connection, though guests should be mindful of potential variability in broadband speed, especially during peak occupancy.

Our first time stay and it was amazing. Very clean and private. Pod very comfy with everything you could need, great hot tub and complimentary bottle of fizz. Lovely well kept site with 5☆ facilities for campers. Near enough to facilities, shoos,bars supermarkets in Haltwhistle,yet set in beautiful countryside surrounded by field, sheep and cows. Easy access to Roman sites and Hadrians Wall. All can be reached by bus. Staff cheerful and helpful, can't fault the site it is truly worth 5☆.

A Hidden Gem

Hill, Paul - 23/07/2024

5

Discovered this site in March this year, enjoyed it so much, booked again while there for July. The location is fantastic. Site is not very big, but touring pitches are bordered by hedges, so feels very private and not crowded. Facilities are excellent, and the staff welcoming and friendly. Good walk for dogs on site, and excellent access to all the Hadrian's wall footpaths off site. Will definitely be returning!

First time camping at Herding Hill

Pearson-Powner, Natasha - 22/07/2024

5

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Herding Hill. The site felt very safe for my children and they enjoyed the animals, play area and football field. The facilities were spotless and felt very clean. I was particularly pleased that there was a family bathroom so that I could bath my children instead of using the showers. The views around the campsite are outstanding and the staff are all very friendly. The pitches are a good size and feel private due to the hedges between pitches. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend this site to others, especially families.

Knowles-Venters, Helen - 19/07/2024

What a site. Amazing location, amazing facilities. The showers were fantastic and even better than they had a bath. Under floor heating meant they were a great temperature and the floor dried quickly. Lovely hot water for washing up. Gorgeous animals on site and a lovely dog walk. We will be back!

This is our second time staying and we've loved it again. All staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful to us. My 3 year old son loves the playground and animals. We like the noise restrictions as they keep it peaceful on a night time. Many thanks!
