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.

Calm and peaceful

I have stayed a few times at this site, with family and friends but also happy to come on my own too. The last visit was the furthest I have camped from amenities but they were still only a short walk.Love the walk along the river into Middleton and Teasdale and the walk along the road is interesting too; lots of wildlife to see.My favourite ‘within an hour from home’ sites to visit.

Although we had a a storm throughout our stay, we had a great time. The site is well designed with nice views. The toilet/ shower block absolutely spotless. Also a nice walk into the local village. Will definitely be back next year!( with hopefully better weather).

Great weekend away.

Simpson, Ian - 04/10/2025

My partner and I stayed at Leekworth in our motorhome for four nights recently, as I was attending a fly fishing workshop with John Tyzak. This event was arranged in collaboration with Leekworth Caravan and Camping site. The workshop was very informative and enjoyable and something that I would definitely recommend. As to the site itself, this too was excellent. All pitches were very spacious and level, with mains hook up provided. Ours also had a water point on the pitch, so very handy for refilling the water tank as required. The toilet and shower facilities were excellent. Spotlessly clean throughout with the benefit of under floor heating for the colder days. The reception/shop area provided a small range of everyday essentials. Robin, the owner of the site was very cheerful and friendly and obviously takes great pride in the site. Overall, I would highly recommend Leekworth to anyone looking for a great place to stay in a beautiful area of the UK. We will definitely be back.

Roomy, well maintained site

Warmington, Keith - 30/09/2025

Long narrow but we’ll maintained access road.Well maintained site next to the river.Lovely walks into the town. Great to have an exercise field where our dog could get off the lead and have a run. Very clean facilities but a bit disappointing that it was 50p for a shower when the charges weren’t cheap.Friendly and helpful staff and useful little shop.Lovely place to stay and will go again.

We loved our stay at Leekworth. The location was excellent to reach some hikes we wanted to do along the Penine way. The pitches were very spacious along the beautiful river. The facilities were extremely clean and of a high standard!!

Excellent Caravan Site.

Forster, Sarah - 12/09/2025

Excellent site, brilliantly laid out. The fella at the camp site was also excellent. The site is secure, safe, excellent amenities. The guy greeted us at the gate, asked how long we were staying again, checked our car reg number to make sure it was us who booked. Informed us where the drinking water was, the other water the drain/ pit thing for emptying the toilet cassette. Very clean the whole site. Excellent dog walking path on site, plenty of bins, recycling and general waste. The shop on site is fab, everything you need or want is in there to buy. The shower block and toilets are immaculate and only 50p to use the shower, definitely value for money. Very well maintained caravan/camping site, absolutely brilliant. We will definitely be going back in the not too distant future. Lovely site, right on the river, we decided on a hard pitch with electrics. It was really near the shower block, there was plenty of taps dotted about the site. You could also hire a fire pit for the length f
