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.

Excellent Location

Jacques, Darren - 18/04/2026

This was a very well run site in a lovely riverside location. The facilities were very clean and well maintained. It was only a 15 minute walk into Middleton in Teesdale with shops and pubs. I couldn’t fault anything with our stay, and will probably return in the future.

The Full Package

Gooch, Amanda - 18/04/2026

We absolutely loved it here despite (storm) ‘Dennis’ trying to say otherwise. The ease of check in & greeting made us feel more than welcome. All the facilities, water intake, showers/loos. pot wash, waste water, elsan etc are central to the site and very close to reception. Lovely large enclosed dog walking field. The location is perfect with beautiful countryside surrounding the site. A 15-20 min walk (10 if you’re speedy!) takes you into the lovely Middleton-in-Tees where there is everything you could wish for in a mini break. A co-op for the essentials but also lovely welcoming cafes with pastries, cakes, savouries etc, pubs, fish & chips, restaurants, pizza, you name it, it’s there, but it does not intrude into the beauty of the place. I walked in, via both the river Tees & the track leading to the site. Both are lovely walks with so much to see (look out for the fire station). An absolute gem.

Overall the site was very clean and tidy and had good facilities. We had a dog so the dog field was perfect. Only a few minor negatives:- - not enough bins on site. - main gates shut at 8pm so meant had to leave car at top and walk back to van in dark

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).
