Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked: Location is great, it is just off the road but it doesn't feel like it. There's good walking to derwent reservoir. The campsite is clean and well looked after, including toilets snd showers. There's a pub right next to it, we didn't eat there but had one drink.. it is quite expensive but it's very friendly. We will definitely be back.

Disliked: Could do with a shop, says it has one but it has closed down.

Powered grass and earth tent campsite

Liked: Fabulous and well maintained individually pitches with stunning views. Friendly and very helpful owner who showed us to the pitch. Site was so easily accessed from the main road. All amenities to hand with clean showers and toilet block. Stayed two nights and our dogs were welcomed too. Privacy fencing and hedges made the pitch more exclusive

Disliked: The unavoidable noise from the road, which may decrease as the plantings grow.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked: Owner was friendly. Good pitch and facilities. Reasonably priced and well maintained site.

Disliked: This is our second visit to the campsite, lovely site however on both occasions music was being played well past 12am, along with the proximity to the main road, if you’re a light sleeper, possibly not the best site for you as we did struggle, but do appreciate this is something out of the sites control.

Local attractions

An easy – and recommended – first stopoff is Derwent Reservoir, in a handsome setting a few miles from Bolbec Manor. Take a hike (or stroll) on the well-maintained paths to Pow Hill Country Park on the south shore or Millshield picnic area on the north, or take the longer bike route around the reservoir covering some local roads as well. Drop into the visitor centre for info, the key to the bird hide on Derwent’s western edge, or a fishing permit: Derwent is a popular pick for Co Durham trout fishing. Around the North Pennines AONB, it’s well worth the 45-minute drive to Ninebanks near Hexham to access Isaac’s Tea Trail, a circular 37-mile route from there to Alston via Allendale and Nenthead. The same distance to the south and also well worth the drive is the famed waterfall of High Force, where the entire River Tees plunges 21 feet over a cliff; get to the waterfall via the Pennine Way stretch crossing the Moor House Upper Teesdale National Nature Reserve. Also to the south, the market town of Bishop Auckland is home to Auckland Castle and its 800 acres of parkland, and to Binchester Roman Fort (this is Hadrian’s Wall land), a Roman fortress on the banks of the River Wear. Somewhat more modern history is at Durham and its must-see stunning cathedral.
