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 site

Salter, Carole - 27/06/2025

The camping site was spotless with big pitches which is always very welcomed. The toilet block was clean, modern with different shower room, we had a wonderful stay. And the added benefit of my husband being able to fly fish this beautiful stretch of the river was very much welcomed, he had a very successful weekend fly fishing. We will be back

Picturesque site

Turnbull, Janice - 26/06/2025

5

The site was lovely with plenty of space between each pitch. The shower and toilets were lovely and clean, you did need 50p for the shower but you can get these from the shop, one 50p is sufficient for a good shower.The staff we met were very friendly and helpful.There is a lovely walk from the site along the river into Middleton, where there are numerous cafes and coffee shops as well as a Coop.We had our dog with us and there is a dog walking field where she could be off lead.We will definitely be back

Excellent Site in a Beautiful Location

Chrisp, Geoff - 24/06/2025

The site is in an excellent location. Our pitch was right beside the beautiful River Tees. We were there mid week and the site was very quiet. The facilities were kept very clean. There are amazing walks in the area, along The Pennine Way and River Tees Way. High Force waterfall is only a few miles walk from the campsite and is fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Leekworth and will definitely go back.

Adequate site for exploring Teesdale

Geleijnse, Bartjan - 09/06/2025

The site is close to impressive waterfalls like High Force and Couldron Snout, interesting castles like Raby Castle and Barnard Castle (including the village). Only one hour by car for visiting Hadrian's Wall or the city of Durham. Nice walk along the river to the village Middleton with sufficient food and drink supply. The camping site shows clean and provides enough space between the pitches. The facilities for washing-up, showering etc seem very poor related to all guests that could come to the site. We really missed a laundry room with a washing machine as we were already travelling around for some weeks then. The collective men's toilet might be replaced by separate ones in order to please the noses of the people washing themselves in the same area. We didn't understand why showering has to be payed for. The push button already reduces the water supply and the pleasure of showering.Finally we thank you for providing an excellent website for searching and booking a pitch.

Excellent Site!

Collinson, Julia - 04/06/2025

5

An excellent site! Ideally situated for exploring many of Durham and North Yorkshire's beauty spots and local attractions (not that far from the Lake District either). Everything about the site was very clean and well maintained. The staff are lovely and very welcoming. Ideal if you have a dog too, lovely walks by the river and also a good 'play pen' for them on site if they need a bit of freedom to run off lead. We have been here before and will certainly stay here again.

Site is located beside the river on the outskirts of Middleton in Teesdale which means you can walk into the town. Facilities are very clean and pitches large. Very peaceful site.

Fantastic site in every aspect!Beautiful spot, great facilities, polite helpful host that keeps the place neat and tidy, I really would struggle to think of any negatives, before arriving I wasn’t keen on the 14.30 check in but after visiting it’s totally understandable why and certainly wouldn’t put me off visiting again.Keep up the good work.
