Hadrian's Wall Campsite

Positiv The views were lovely.
It was great not having to leave the hut for the toilet.
The very much needed log burner was a god send!

Negativ I am aware it’s expected to be small but there was no where to store non fridge items such as bread, biscuits etc. We had to jig around things on the shelves to make some space and keep the rest in bags on the floor.
Small things could be added to the hut such as a few extra hooks, a small fold up table to eat from and a dust pan and brush. The grass was cut shortly after we arrived and was damp so the grass was trailed in the hut constantly, this got everywhere and we had nothing to sweep it out with.
The heater kept going off with an error code.
The windows didn’t seem to close fully so there was a constant draft and it was nearing freezing overnight.

Positiv Very nice small campsite. Pitches well spaced out and beautifully kept. Toilet block clean and warm with powerful hot showers. Bus AD122 at end of road goes back and fore visiting all the popular sites. You can buy a day ticket for £6. Would certainly book again .

Positiv Hadrians Wall Campsite, in a nutshell, what’s not to like?

Arrived on site where I was warmly greeted in reception and given a detailed run down, not just of the facilities but all the local attractions, shops, pubs etc and how to reach them, whether on foot or by bus.I was escorted to my ample hardstanding gravel pitch complete with 16amp electric and water tap. The campsite has a small shop in reception for basics, a laundry and very smart toilets and free showers. There’s also an information point with a guide to sightseeing, bus timetables, and recommended pubs/restaurants with menus and prices.

The AD122 bus runs every two hours, east to west following Hadrians Wall and enables access to all historic locations between Walltown and Hexham. The Roman Army Museum, Vindolanda, Sill Landscape Centre to name just a few. The unmarked bus stop itself is just a five minute walk from the site (maybe ten if you’re a slow walker) and is at the Melridge Road junction where you must flag it down. Haltwhistle town can also be reached by bus but if you’re not in a hurry I’d recommend the public footpath which takes you to the town via a very nice walk over the adjoining countryside and takes about 45 minutes. Hadrians Wall is within walking distance as are many of the local features. I walked from the campsite first to Haltwhistle and from there to Walltown to visit the excellent Roman Army Museum. The following day I caught the bus back to Walltown and walked from there along Hadrians Wall to Cawfields Quarry ( just over three miles) where there are stunning sections of intact wall to be seen. The nearby Milestone pub is great way to finish a days walking.

Hadrians Wall Campsite is perfectly situated for seeing everything related to Hadrians Wall. It’s a friendly, welcoming and well organised site, providing quiet space and all you need for an enjoyable stay. I had a wonderful five nights here and filled every day with amazing walks, historic sites and excellent food and drink. I highly recommend, you won’t be dissappointed.

Negativ Quite funny really and not so much of a dislike as a friendly warning. If you take a shower early in the morning before it’s light and no one is around, the lights in the block are motion activated. Once you’re in the shower it’s likely that after a few minutes you'll find yourself fumbling around in the darkness when the lights go off….so either be ready for it or don’t take too long!

Positiv Beautiful site first time there but will certainly be back. Walks from the site and a bus from the end of the road and so peaceful.

Negativ Nothing to dislike
