  • Peaceful Northumberland site with views over the Tyne Valley
  • Hadrian’s Wall 10 minutes’ drive; Newcastle 35 minutes
  • Disposable barbecues welcome; firepits to hire
With a privileged location between the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the south and Northumberland National Park to the north (and easy to access from the A69), Sunniside House is a peaceful site about a mile (15 minutes’ walk) from the small village of Acomb. There are excellent views from nearly every angle here, including far-reaching vistas over the surrounding Tyne Valley and out to the Pennine peaks beyond. Facilities at this simple, rural Northumberland site include a shower, toilets, a washing-up area and a communal fridge; and a limited number of pitches ensures that everyone has sufficient breathing space. You may be able to help the farmers feed the lambs on site (in spring only), or perhaps you’d like to delve into centuries of local history, whether it’s hitting Hadrian’s Wall for rambles along the old Roman frontier (10 minutes’ drive, or a two-mile hike) or checking out the small church of St. Oswald’s in Lee, named after King Oswald of Northumbria, winner of the seventh-century Battle of Heavenfield, which may have taken place at Chollerford (10 minutes), just across the River North Tyne. After your exploration, it’s back to base to freshen up, then off to the popular local pub (about a mile away) for a pint and a home-cooked meal. Disposable barbecues are welcome, if you’d rather eat on site, but they are only allowed in designated areas, while firepits can be rented. Packs of kiln-dried wood, kindling and firelighters are available to buy. Please do not bring your own fuel.

Pennine View non-electric mixed motorhome pitch

Liked A lovely peaceful site, nice location with helpful owners.

Disliked Only cold water in the toilets so not great for handwashing and the washing up area also only had cold water and wasn't under a cover so wouldn't be very good in rain.

Valley View non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Fantastic campsite. Facilities were perfect, lovely and clean. Run by a lovely family and it has a really homely feel, i almost felt like part of the family! It feels very exclusive as they only allow a certain amount of bookings so we had plenty of space and privacy. I also love the farm animals and the views are stunning. Will definitely be back!

Disliked Nothing - absolutely perfect campsite

Local attractions

A military settlement that later developed into a thriving frontier town, Corbridge Roman Town - Hadrian’s Wall (10 minutes’ drive) is home to the ancient remains of barracks, temples and storage facilities. An on-site museum displays some of the items recovered as part of the Corbridge Hoard, such as delicate figurines. Elegant country mansions in the area include National Trust - Wallington (half an hour), which dates back to the 17th century and is filled with pre-Raphaelite paintings and assorted art objects. Its expansive grounds include vast swathes of woodland crossed by the River Wansbeck. The Discovery Museum in Newcastle (35 minutes) showcases scientific and technological advances made in the region, from Joseph Swan’s first lightbulb to George Stevenson’s steam engine. Stop at Grainger Market to stock up on foodstuffs, then cross the iconic Tyne Bridge to reach the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, housed in a refurbished flour mill.
