  • Peaceful hilltop campsite with spectacular views of the Tyne Valley
  • A 20-minute drive to Derwent Reservoir; Newcastle-upon-Tyne 30 minutes
  • Dark sky site for stargazing; gastropub five minutes' walk away
Sitting on the edge of the sleepy village of Hedley on the Hill, Valley View Camping has a spectacular setting overlooking the lovely Tyne Valley, with a west-facing position that's splendid for watching the sunset. The grass pitches are on a level field with masses of space for games and activities, so kids can let off steam safely – and it's dog-friendly too, so your pooch can join you on your break. This is a great spot for walkers, with footpaths starting right from the field, where you might get to see buzzards and rare red kites riding the thermals overhead. Cyclists, you can test yourselves on the demanding National Hill-Climb Championships course that ran up into the village from Stocksfield in 2017. What’s provided? Portable toilets and thoughtful extras like complimentary drinking water, tea and raw (unpasteurised) milk fresh from the dairy herd in the cattle trailer, along with a sandpit for the kids. All pitches have a firepit, and logs are available to buy on site. An award-winning gastropub is less than a five-minute walk away in the village, with a fire kitchen and takeaway service. Just down the hill in Stocksfield, there are regular weekend food trucks at the cricket club and local pub. Stocksfield, Mickley and Prudhoe (10 minutes’ drive) have handy local stores where you can pick up goodies to enjoy around the firepit.

What customers say

Guests praise the beautiful, spacious pitches and breathtaking valley views. The site offers a peaceful, "back to basics" experience with very clean portable toilets and complimentary tea, coffee, and milk. Fire pits are a popular addition. While some mention wind exposure and occasional noise from other campers, most highlight the friendly staff, convenient location near a pub, and excellent value. The site is highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Peaceful site with great views and dairy cows in the next field. Basic facilities but both portaloos clean and well stocked. Multiple recycling options and a little horsebox with water containers rather than a tap. We used the provided fire pit and plenty of logs for one evening in the bag that we bought from the site. Would definitely visit again- easy 5 minute walk up to a great food pub. Recommend!

Liked Beautifully kept campsite with breath-taking views across the valley. Friendly staff and easy to book.

Disliked Showers would be a great addition. The logs in the fire pack didn’t burn very well.

Local attractions

What with the Tyne Riverside Country Park (20 minutes’ drive) and Northumberland National Park (30 minutes’ drive) being so close, it’s time to get those walking shoes on for bracing hikes and gorgeous views. Chopwell Woodland Park (15 minutes) has plenty of easy walks along former railway lines that suit families with young kids. Cycling trails criss-cross Northumberland, with arduous options for long-distances bikers along the Coast to Coast Path, and waterside rides around Derwent Reservoir (20 minutes), which is also a great option for anglers looking for a spot of fly fishing. Lucky old golfers are spoilt for choice too, with several courses within a 15-minute drive of base camp. The historic towns of Corbridge (20 minutes) and Hexham (30 minutes) are packed with cosy tea shops and arty boutiques, and it’s only 30 minutes into Newcastle for big-hitting attractions like the Life Science Centre and Angel of the North sculpture.
