What customers say

This site offers spacious fields with stunning views, perfect for a "back to basics" wild camping experience. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and helpful owners, particularly Richard, who ensures guests feel welcome and have what they need. Clean portaloos and available fresh water are appreciated. Its proximity to a great local pub is also a significant draw. While some noted occasional smokiness from fire pits or wished for more water taps, the overwhelming sentiment is positive, with many planning to return.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Owner Richard and his Brother are great hosts and make sure everyone is ok throughout the stay. Even told us about a noisy group who had been warned the night before and if we had any issue to call them !
There are portaloos available all over the 2 fields and 2 water taps.
There is tons of space and you can pitch up wherever you want, no silly rules which is great!
We had our well behaved WCS with us and she happily mooched about our pitch area off lead, even did a spot of training with her , so she had a great time!
This is wild camping so be prepared to take all your rubbish home, and embrace camping as it should be !

Disliked Nothing (lots of midges about but it’s the countryside in August so what do you expect !)

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked The view's from the campsite were stunning, the pitches are very spacious and the owner was brilliant nothing was a problem, he even hire's out fire pits and you can buy logs all adding to a great experience.
There is fresh water, toilets dotted around site and a toilet chemical waste point. There's a great village pub literally a 5 minute walk away.
We will definitely return in the future

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loads of space to choose from to pitch. Everyone had their own space and not crowded. The owners, were amazing, nothing was too much. They helped us pitch our tent as it was extremely windy! 10/10 experience.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We had a one night stay a the beautifully located Wild Camping Northumberland. Several large fields next to a working farm, with far fetching views across the valley. The host/ owner greeted us with a smile and enthusiasm and checked in on us again in the evening. Although the fields were busy, it didn't feel crowded and we had plenty of room and the views were just amazing and the stars once the clouds past were beautiful. Very relaxed on check out times, no rush meant a relaxed breakfast, time for the tent to dry off and some extra time enjoying those views 😍

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Just what we needed, big field with tap, toilet and fire pits! The pub up the road is really close and a great local doing solid Pizzas on Friday and Saturday night.

The Campsite owner, Richard, was really friendly and helped us out with anything we needed.

Local attractions

If you’d like to mix in some rather less wild outings with all the hikes and other outdoor activities, head to National Trust properties at Cherryburn (10 minutes’ drive) and the gorgeous Georgian estate at Gibside Hall (20 minutes). Beamish, the Living Museum of the North (half an hour) is another great spot for family outings, with the chance to immerse yourselves in the sights and sounds of an early 20th-century pit village, farm and other settings. Looking back a bit further into history, explore the area’s Roman past by starting in Corbridge (20 minutes) to see some of the artefacts found during excavations and then take a walk along the Hadrian’s Wall trail. One of the more intact sections of wall is at Vindolanda (40 minutes), which has award-winning museums as well as a functioning archaeological site to see. Other outings nearby might take you for days in Hexham (25 minutes) or Newcastle upon Tyne (half an hour), or over to the coast for a blast of sea air at Whitley Bay beach (45 minutes).
