What customers say
A clean, well-kept site with helpful staff and great facilities, especially the modern washrooms. Close to Beamish Museum. Some found pitches small or sloped. Wi-Fi costs/availability, occasional noise, and pet fees were noted.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Lovely clean facilities. Staff friendly and helpful. Good location for visiting beamish which is why we booked it.
Disliked We thought this was overpriced. No dedicated gray water disposal points for motorhomes. Only one Chemical waste point absolutely filthy with no way of cleaning - fixed tap with no hose. Pitches very small lots or tents cramped together.

Great site but wasnt a fan of the gypsy wagon.
Gypsy wagon
Liked Great playground.
Shower block is cleaned to a high standard.
Compact but well laid out site.
I would stay in the carvan or tents again like I have previously.
Bar is probably the cleanest and most modern clubhouse ive ever been too.
Disliked Gypsy caravan isnt in the best condition it could be. Net curtain wire hanging down with no curtain. Mould on the door. Huge gaps in the wood. Piece of awkwardly laid wood at top of the stairs resulted in me falling down from the top and banging my head on the ground an hour after arriving. Subsequently I now have a concussion.
Email booking confirmation states that a £10 deposit is needed but it was actually £20 for the deposit (I arrived with £18 cash and a bank app that wasnt working. This kind of ruined the first hour of being there trying to transfer cash from my savings to pay a deposit higher than expected).

Liked The club house and toilet block

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Nice clean site, disappointing to find dogs not allowed in clubhouse considering its stated dog friendly site so we were limited on things to do couldnt enjoy the nightlife whilst staying. Not much options in the shop for the campers eg fire lighter for bbq, ice cubes had to travel out a few times. Staff very friendly

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked We had a great time staying here. We were in the rally field which was so quiet and peaceful. The park had everything you need, great facilities, a little shop and a bar! The site was clean and tidy and the staff were really friendly in both reception and the bar. We walked into Beamish museum, about a mile but a pub on route 👍 we really enjoyed our stay here.
Disliked Nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
Perfect for access to museum.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Been here 4 times now. Always well kept and nice staff.
Disliked Smell of weed while walking round campsite but this is normal wherever you go and not the campsite s fault.
