Leekworth Caravan & Camping Park is situated on the outskirts of the historic market village of Middleton in Teesdale, and very close to Barnard Castle. The stunning natural beauty of the North Pennines surrounds our site and is set on the banks of the River Tees.

The famous Teesdale Way runs alongside the site and joins us to the Pennine Way and Middleton village centre, with its country shops and cafes, is only a 10 minute walk away.

With fantastic facilities on site including 1000 meters of free fishing on the River Tees, (rod licence required) and the surrounding area offering miles and miles of footpaths to explore the glorious countryside, museums, garden, attractions and so much more, we are confident that your stay will be one to remember.

We now have an adult-only section with limited pitches available (these fill up fast so you'll have to be quick to book!)

We do a lot of amazing things here at Leekworth Caravan and Camping Site in Teesdale, all managed and maintained by the Brough family. Robin, the owner, who is helped by his Mam Liz, and his Nana Lorna, all of whom have immense pride in their work to help you have an amazing time. Nothing is too much trouble for this family team, who strive to bring you the best holiday in the whole of County Durham.

The Leekworth Caravan & Camping Park has electric hook-up hardstand pitches and caters for caravans, motorhomes, and tents. We also offer seasonal pitches, pitch and store and winter storage. We have a newly built reception/shop and the newly built shower and toilet block has underfloor heating throughout.

Teesdale in the upper reaches of the Durham Dales has so much to offer, so much to discover and explore. From seeking out the caveman’s cave up Beck Road, to discovering the remnants of the old mines that litter the landscape offering a glimpse of a time long gone.

A visit to Teesdale offers an ideal holiday or short break, Teesdale is the inspirational Durham Dale with a spectacular unspoilt landscape and stunning heritage sites, here you can drive for miles on quiet, open roads, walk on waymarked footpaths, cycle along quiet country lanes and pony trek through heather and woodland. A large part of Teesdale is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has a European Geopark status.

Please note, we have a strict no noise policy after 10.30pm and due to the narrow entry lane to our site, arrival is strictly no earlier than 2.30pm.

Most beautiful site

Guy, Ian - 30/10/2026

Leekworth is the most beautiful site we’ve ever stayed on. It’s on a bend of the river Tees in upper Teesdale close to the pictureque small town of Middleton in Teesdale. There is none of the background traffic noise that blights much of the UK. It’s a family run site, and the owner and his mum were very welcoming and helpful, and so were the seasonal-pitch holders that we met on the site. I enjoyed the spotless showerblock and the underfloor heating was a treat. Our cockerpoo Benji had a great time - there are lovely walks straight off the site and a couple of large fenced-in doggy play areas where he could run around and play ball. We liked Leekworth so much that we’ve booked a seasonal pitch for next year

Great site and location site was spotless that said the main gripe was having paid £40 per nite the charging of 50p to use the shower is a bit naughty and the hot tap water for washing up was Luke warm at best

Nice and relaxing stay

Forster, Sarah - 10/10/2026

We've just enjoyed 3 nights at Leekworth Caravan Park, this is the second time we have stayed here. We love it, there, beautiful site, plenty of walks right on the doorstep. Robin is fab, very friendly and so helpful too. There's a fully enclosed dog section, w actually with a bin for dog waste. The walk around the site is lovely too right on the river and the walk takes you into the village and beyond. We will definitely be back again, we stayed in the adult only part. The toilet and shower blocks are very clean and good. Everything is fab, there's a code to get into the site which is good as it's safe and the gate is locked from 8.30pm till 7.30am.

One night motorbike camp

Charlton, Richard - 05/10/2026

One night stay at Leekworth, camping with a motorbike. Had a great spot next to the river with plenty of space between each pitch and at a very good price. The facilities were excellent with very clean toilets and good hot showers. Pot wash facility with a small library of books was a nice touch. The whole site was very clean with immaculate pitches. There was an entry gate, so the site seemed very secure and safe, which was perfect for a bike. Only 20 minute walk to nearest pub for a pint and food, or a chippy. The owner was very helpful and biker friendly. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back. Richie

not very good for walking dogs as only walk is by riverside, it's a good walk into the village but it could do with a family pub as not much choice for food.

Fantastic site, with large pitches clearly marked out. The site has modern clean toilets and showers. A barrier at the entrance stops cars coming in during the night allowing everyone to enjoy thier evenings. Great location for walking and visiting local attractions. Very welcoming staff that can help/answer any questions
