An amazing gem of a campsite

Newman, Michelle - 17/03/2023

5

This campsite was amazing (and we’ve stayed at a fair few) It’s not all the flashy facilities that make an amazing campsite although these were fabulous, from the bbq hut to the sauna, but the small details, the radio on in the toilets, the super warm facilities, the outstanding cleanliness of the facilities, the super tidy out door areas.The staff were so helpful and friendly. Everything had been thought about and taken care of. We can’t wait to return.

Fabulous Site

Lord, Andrew - 15/03/2023

Excellent site, friendly helpful staff, showers blocks immaculate only suggestion would be maybe a few solar lights along by the shower block as it was very dark at night walking back to the caravan.Great location for walking Hadrians wall, close to Hexham and not too far from Beamish. Good dog field. Great pub close by.

Winter stay

Simmons, Heather - 10/03/2023

Check in was very informative and friendly,pitches were much bigger than other sites with beautiful views,everything on the site was immaculate with a lovely field to walk dog in ,I really have no negatives to review but this site may not be suitable for people with mobility problems as it's a very steep walk downhill into haltwhistle with no bus back to site ,other than that it's one of the best sites I have stayed at .

Perfect for my needs on this winter walking trip based in a camper van. The site was handy for bus services and proximity to the wall. The amenities were excellent, clean, warm, plenty of hot water and wifi.In summer, when the site is full the facilities block may (?) be insufficient.
