A quality family run site situated on the outskirts of the historic market village of Middleton in Teesdale. Set on the banks of the River Tees, close to Barnard Castle, the stunning natural beauty of the North Pennines surrounds our site. The famous Teesdale Way runs alongside the site which joins onto the Pennine Way and Middleton village centre, which is just a 10 minute walk away.

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.

Lovely site

Hughes, Lindsay - 03/07/2026

What a lovely long weekend we had at this campsite. It is very well maintained, spacious pitches, big enclosed dog field. What was really nice was the walk along the river which is next to the campsite, we walked into the village which took about 20 minutes and got meat from the local butchers for our barbecue, had coffee and bacon butty at the local cafe. The owner was friendly and always on hand if you needed anything at all, if you couldn’t see him you could just call him. There was a small reception and shop, if it was closed you could call him to come to the shop.The campsite had security gate which made it feel secure.The toilets and showers were very clean and well kept, they looked like they had recently been updated. There is 50p charge for the shower but the shower is good and the water is hot, my only criticism would be there is no where to put your soaps/shampoos, just a small ledge would be good and maybe a stool to put your clothes on.

Amazing weekend!

Brownless, Amy - 02/07/2026

Leekworth caravan park is absolutely amazing, the campsite is so well kept and clean, aswell and the toilets and showers. We stayed on grass pitches and they were massive, loads of space to sit out and for our children to play. There was hardly any cars moving around making it very safe for our toddler to play. Having direct access to the river is an added bonus, we had a lovely paddle and cool off in boiling sun.We will absolutely be back!

Well cared for campsite.

Great location close to river and easy walk into Middleton in teesdale. Very clean and well maintained. Friendly staff. They could do with more waste bins in the shower area and the pot wash. A general waste bin in the camping area would be good as you have to walk outside the barrier with your rubbish. No problem with the recycling bins outside the barrier. They only left 2 toilets and 2 showers open when the site was a bit quieter but in my opinion it's not enough, 3 would of been much better. Having said that it would not stop us returning in the future.
