From the manager: Thanks so much for sharing your feedback and we are pleased that you enjoyed your camping trip to our family campsite in a small pocket of Northumberland.
We love meeting the people who stay with us and are often surprised that lots of them are relatively local people who just fancy a break but don't want to travel too far for a short break.
Best wishes and we hope that you visit again soon.

Your comments really sum up what we offer here - so thank you.
Our caravan rental was a bit of an experiment and our aim was to offer 'the best bits of off grid camping in beautiful countryside without the hassle of setting up a tent' and it has proved to be really popular this year.
Best wishes and we hope that you visit again soon.

We are sorry about your tent but we are pleased that David could help. He spent his working life building cars and repairing boats so tents are a new challenge for him:)
Thanks for sharing the beautiful photograph of Bolam Lake too.

Liked Secluded location and great to be next to bolam lake woods.
Clean facilities, great for a quiet pitch up

From the manager: Thanks so much for your feedback and we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay.
Our campsite is in a great location if you just fancy simple camping, a relaxing break and great views.
Bolam Lake Country Park is just across the road from our campsite and it's great for lovely walks, paddle boarding, fishing and there is a lovely coffee shop too.
Apologies if you were pestered by wasps - we have never encountered this before but there seems to be lots around the whole area at the moment.
