Liked: Helpful warden. Handy for Newcastle Town Centre. Generous sized pitches. Tent pitches looked very nice.

Disliked: Difficult to access toilet block. Broken down flight of steps to get in to block. Difficult to use elan point. You have to lift your waste tank etc over a wall which can be very heavy work. Toilet block is very old and possibly inadequately site is busy. Whole site needs tidying.

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked: The warden who welcomed us was really helpful and friendly. The pitch was level and drained well in the rain. The water, electric and drain were all positioned nice and close. The toilet block was old but was kept in perfect condition.

Disliked: I felt the chemical toilet disposal point was poor, It needs to have a better way of cleaning it than a hose with poor water flow.

Lovely site and location and facilities but unfortunately spoilt.

Liked: Lovely site and the warden was friendly and incredibly helpful, good facilities.

Disliked: Unfortunately there was a couple on the site who were drinking and playing loud music on the site (still going at 2am!) An argument ensued which involved in the lady trying to drive her car and police being called to site at 3am!!! Not much sleep had by our family and it spoilt my little boys first camping trip. In my opinion the warden should have thrown them off site but was nowhere to be seen!

Local attractions

The nearby town of Prudhoe, about 11 miles from the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, has a Norman castle and a waterpark as well as access to the old Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, now the Tyne Valley Line and still running regularly between the two cities. If you're anywhere around this part of England, a must-see is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall, the most visited destination in the north of England, running for about 73 miles across the north of England from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend, across the North Pennines, and along Northumberland National Park. The wall has several Roman sites along its length, including Housesteads Roman fort, the most complete Roman fort in Britain; eight forts and live excavations at the Roman Army Museum and Roman Vindolanda, and Segedunum Roman Fort, Baths and Museum. Paintball, quad biking, go karting, offroad 4x4 driving and a Go Ape! are all available locally. A shopping centre is 20 minutes away.
