What customers say
Great riverside spot near Wooler, with helpful staff and spacious pitches. Toilets/showers are a bit dated, and some pitches are a bit close. Amenities across a road, but many felt it was good value and would revisit.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Quite place to stay, friendly staff
Disliked Dirty gents toilets one had faeces on the wall, cold showers, washing machines discussing dirty under rubber seal- hair dirt bits of plastic and screws. Did report to reception and was advised they belonged to an outside company who were responsible for the cleaning. Water taps leaking and hanging of walls got soaking trying to put water in. Company seem to only care about statics as this area was well looked after.
