The High Hermitage Caravan Park

The campsite hosts were super friendly and helpful; the location was very peaceful and very close to lovely Ovingham; the facilities were clean and worked well.

Very flexible arrangements. Pitch anywhere.

One male wc and 2 female wc toilets for entire field. No light in female toilet. One shower only for each. Dangerous steps down to them. Same steps had to be negotiated to empty waste water and potties, and a lift if about 18” to get to the drain with up to 30 liters of water.

Small, quiet site

Still in development, single shower cubicle, limited ablutions.

loved our stay on the campsite nice a quiet and the facilities on site were a nice touch.

The Motor Home Pitches are New and Tidy with loads of Room.

Limited number of shower and toilet facilities however what is there functions well.

Area is beautiful swan pub is fantastic for food

The site has not changed in years but started adding new pitches needs a bit tlc around shower block could be a hidden gem

Really level pitch, clean shower (1) and toilets (2). 1 sink for washing dishes was clean and undercover. Electric hook up available. Good area for walking and getting the train into Newcastle.

It was fairly quiet (midweek) For our stay, only a few tents pitched but I can imagine weekends and school holidays would be busier for the toilets/shower/dishwashing facilities provided as there are lots more pitches for caravans too. No facility for ice blocks. No signage outside with name of campsite at all.

Shower and cleaning facilities

Camped as part of the Hadrian’s Wall Path walk which was quite off route.

Loved the veranda to support pitching up as it was raining

Nothing i would say i disliked although there were some clear signs some TLC required. Water dripping on mobile phone charging shelf, veranda gutters blocked. No small bin or paper towels by utility area. Possibly could do with investing in a shower or two. Up very early to ensure i had the opportunity to have one

The site owner Adam was very helpful before and at my arrival in assisting with local info. A small site, tent wise, but ground was good for pegs. Car can be parked beside tent which is always a good thing especially with set up and take down. Dish washing area had good supply of hot water and some seating if you had to wait your turn or sit under in fowl weather. Was a couple of sockets and a shelf to charge phone etc if you brought the charger plug rather than just the lead. Thankfully we did so made use of this. Area can be easily viewed from tent. Local pub in nearby and walkable Ovingham along a footpath , White Swan, is good for both food and drinks and good selection of real ale as a cask marque pub. There is a good size Co-op in Prudhoe for supplies and also an Aldi and B&M in a new build retail estate on outskirts of town. Good links with buses and trains going to Newcastle.

Toilet and shower ( can only comment on Male) was very run down with locks hanging off, loo paper scrunched up and unusable in dispenser and a mirror not even attached to wall. Steep steps down to toilet block could make things tricky in wet conditions. Only one toilet and one shower, so if site busy it could be a problem especially as facilities are for touring campervans also. Reasonably clean but found the sign telling you where the mop was to mop floor in-between cleaning a bit much. Maybe issues with flooding.
Also site enterance not clear so easy to drive buy especially on a 60mph stretch of road.
