Hardstanding and grass pitches
Pub at the front of campsite available for food and drinks
Beer garden

There’s much to see and do in County Durham, so it’s only right that you pick a nice base to unwind after a day’s exploration. And a very good choice would be Hammer and Pincers Caravan and Campsite, a laidback spot barely five minutes’ drive from Newton Aycliffe and with one very important USP… It has pedestrian access to the Hammer and Pincers (open Wednesday to Sunday only; closed Mondays and Tuesdays), a pub with a restaurant and a spacious beer garden, where you can dodge any self-catering issues with a menu of good home-cooked food for lunch and evening meals. The site has well-kept grass pitches tucked in between the trees and surrounded by scenic countryside. There is a convenient facilities block with showers, loos and a washing-up. If you’re after entertainment, there’s an occasional schedule of live music events at the pub. A trainline runs along the bottom of the site, so there is some noise around the site. Supermarkets, shops and a train station are just over in Newton Aycliffe, five minutes' drive away. Here, you're only a 35- to 40-minute drive from the seaside towns of Hartlepool and Seaham, too. More inland, the boundaries of the North Pennines National Landscape are half an hour's drive away.

Det siger kunderne

Venligt personale og en populær pub med god mad. Pladserne er generelt plane, men nogle finder stedet simpelt. Togstøj er et tilbagevendende tema. Toiletter og badefaciliteter er rene, men lidt slidte. Et budgetvenligt valg, især til mellemlandinger.

Areal med hårdt underlag med valgfri elektricitet

Syntes om Friendly and helpful staff. Even loaned us a caravan step as we had forgotten ours. Very relaxed feel to the site. Site is basic but had everything we needed for our stay and the amenities were clean. Excellent value for money even factoring in the additional electricity charge.
The best part is the pub itself. The food is all home made, decent portions, very affordable and above all delicious.
We were in the area to attend the “Kynren” show and this was a perfect base being only appx 15 - 20 mins drive to park and ride for the event.

Syntes ikke om Didn’t dislike anything. Even the trains didn’t impact negatively on our stay as barely noticed them.

Syntes om Nice welcome by the host and a lovely pub.

Syntes ikke om This is primarily a 'residential' park with people who live on the site, not just holiday. We prefer holiday sites. Not our bag so we left.

Syntes om Relaxed atmosphere, came for two nights but stayed for three, it's not the Ritz but felt very welcome by owners, next to main line so you can make people going to work feel bad while you're chilling in a field lol. Suppose if you were a light sleeper trains could be an issue but they don't run all night , will be back again shortly. Mrs loves it so that makes my life easier 😁

Syntes ikke om Having to go home😞

Areal med hårdt underlag med valgfri elektricitet

Syntes om Freindlyness of all people on site and in the Pub. The food is very tasty and presented well. Staff are attentative at all times. The site is easy to enter and leave even with a 8 Metre caravan. The Ducks were freindly when they visited.

Syntes ikke om Toilets are basic but adequate, have used worse, showers are not brilliant but we shower in the caravan anyway. Owner of the site told us that they are waiting for planning approval to update facilities. This was not a major issue for us.

Areal med hårdt underlag med valgfri elektricitet

Syntes om The people that live on the site / stay there on a regular basis are very friendly.
We have small children and there was plenty other kids for them to play with , the kids loved it.
We didn't visit the pub , but was told plenty of times that the food is nice there.
We had a very nice welcome from the ladies in the pub when we checked in though .

The facilities were clean.
It's not the biggest site and is basic but it's all grass so lots of room for kids to play on. it's perfect for a night or two away , we took things to keep the kids entertained aswell and we would definitely go back.

Syntes ikke om Not that can be helped by the owners but you can hear the traffic on the motorway early in the morning that's not too far.

Next time I'd take ear plugs , if you don't want to be woken up about 6am.

Syntes om Camped mon 27th till fri 31st july.
Cost £120 non electric grass pitch.
Really impressed with this little site. Not been camping for years but decided to take grandkids (8,4 and 3yrs ) chose this place as it had a pub on site and a play area and was in the middle of 2 places we wanted to take the kids. The pub wasn't open the first 2 days but the owners daughter welcomed us and told us where to go. The toilets and showers are well looked after and cleaned every day the tent field had a train track running past the bottom but it was well fenced off and the kids were safe to run round and we didn't have to worry.also the trains weren't too loud and we made a thing out of it by waving to them going past. The play area was suitable for the little ones but not for the 8 yr old though she enjoyed playing supervisor and using her walkie talkies. We had dinner In the pub on wed and thurs night,the food was lovely and not over priced and the staff were lovely and very friendly. On the whole we had a lovely time and the kids loved it too. We will def be back next time we want go visit the area again.

Syntes ikke om Would of liked a bigger play area

Lokale seværdigheder

There are loads of outdoor activities to keep the family happy: golfers can be out on the greens within 15 minutes’ drive, and there’s much alfresco fun to be had on wakeboards or kayaking at the North East Wake Park (10 minutes’ drive). There are plenty of options of a cultural nature in the region too. Raby Castle, Park and Gardens (25 minutes) has tours of opulent interiors, fabulous gardens, a kids’ adventure playground and a deer park for family walks. Visit The Bowes Museum (35 minutes) for its important collection of Spanish paintings, and in summer, book tickets for the historic outdoor extravaganza ‘Kynren’ in Bishop Auckland (15 minutes). If the kids are not objecting to all the history, set off for Durham (25 minutes) to explore the UNESCO-listed cathedral and castle. However, if tiny tempers are getting fractious, make a detour to Adventure Valley (35 minutes) for an afternoon of blowing cobwebs away on the crazy golf course and go-kart track.
