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.

Happy to return

This was our third visit. We had the perfect pitch to access the free fishing. The facilities were modern and clean and well maintained.This is a gem of a campsite in the heart of Teesdale with many local attractions and we always enjoy the lovely walk along the riverbank to the village and it's tea rooms and eateries.

3 Night Stay September

Eaton, Jackie - 24/09/2024

Our first time at Leekworth in our Campervan and we will definitely be back. Facilities good and clean. No loose grass around after cutting ( which for us is always a bonus). We stayed in the Adult only field so was very peaceful, just the faint sound of flowing water from the river. Loved the 3 Ducks that came to see us at tea time. Walked into The Village via the river path and the road. As oap's and an elderly dog, we preferred the road as the river path is a little stony and uneven in places. Caught the bus into Barnard Castle that had lots of places to eat and shops.The added bonus to our stay was 3 days of fabulous weather

Beautiful but expensive for tent

Thompson, Anya - 11/09/2024

Very beautiful spot. Very expensive to camp in a tent, could only afford 3 nights. Quite inconvenient having the toilet block closed for 2 hours. Obviously well organised and well run though.

lovely riverside and valley location

Sullivan, Martin - 09/09/2024

Good friendly welcome and lovely pitch next to the river.lovely 20 min walk down the river into the village where we found excellent fish and chips- Tuesday they open but not Monday The walk to high force was good but lots of stiles and it took us about 4.5 hours. We returned via the road as we were not fit enough to do any more stiles- would do it again as it was wonderful. Thanks to the site owners for directions to the walk start.We ate at the Teesdale ( the only place open on a Monday) also excellent - the walk back via road is also about 20minsShowers clean- they do cost 50p so we had to beg for 50ps in our change that day! and the 50p slot is high on the wall for meThe site's location was wonderful and we would return

Nice site

Henderson, Ian - 06/09/2024

Enjoyed a nice quiet few days in this adult only site. Were supposed to be there on August Bank Holiday weekend but was ill so owner allowed us to move the booking to a few days later. The firepits that can be hired are a great idea. The pitches are a good size and fairly flat. There is a shop on site but the opening times are anyone's guess. The toilets and showers are clean but a bit of a walk from the furthest pitch and the hot water in the pot wash area isn't hot enough to properly clean greasy dishes.

love this camp site

Ratcliffe, Sharon - 04/09/2024

Love this camp site. Very clean, great toilet and shower facilities. Dog friendly. Camp fires for rent which Robin brings to your pitch, he's friendly and enjoys a chat. 15 to 20 minutes walk into the village either along the river side or on the road that leads into the camp. Friendly pub in village where you can mix with the friendly locals and other campers. A few miles from High/Low force and Gibson's cave which are great for walks.
