  • Friendly, quiet Northumberland site 15 minutes’ walk to Hadrian’s Wall
  • C2C and Pennine Way five minutes’ drive; Roman museums 10 minutes
  • Abundant wildlife; dogs welcome; essentials shop and morning café
You’re guaranteed the warmest of welcomes at Hadrian’s Wall Campsite, a peaceful spot edging the spectacular Northumberland National Park in the Tyne Valley. And what else are you guaranteed? An equally friendly greeting for any accompanying dogs, great views from everywhere on site, quiet downtime for you and your family and – on clear nights – a multitude of stars twinkling in the heavens of this dark skies reserve. Here you can also wake up to birdsong, walk to Hadrian’s Wall in 15 minutes, complete sections of the Coast to Coast Cycle Route (C2C) or the Pennine Way, and get back to your pitch in time to catch colourful skies as the sun sets behind the hills. If you’d rather simply chill amid nature during the day, the site’s abundant wildlife makes it a great place for spotting hedgehogs, stoats and wild rabbits. Essentials are sold in the small site shop, along with tasty locally made biscuits, chutneys, jams and ice cream. A café opens in the morning and does a roaring trade in breakfast rolls made with sausages, eggs and bacon from the butcher in Haltwhistle, 10 minutes’ drive away – wash them down with Northumberland-roasted barista coffee and milk from a neighbouring farm. Spotless showers, a washing-up area, a fridge and freezer, and a laundry with washer and dryer complete the roster of on-site facilities.

What customers say

Grand spot, spotless facilities, and the staff are pure sound. Lovely grounds for a wander, and the shop/cafe is a doddle. Mostly great, though a couple reckon the pitches are a bit close and the water points could be handier. A peaceful, well-run place plenty are keen to revisit.

Frank Q.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass campervan pitch (six person)

Liked My wife and I, together with our little dog, had a lovely stay at this beautiful campsite in our little campervan. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We had a great nights rest on this quiet dark site, perfect for stargazing whenever the clouds part. We had a coffee and a bacon bap in the little on-site café on the morning of our departure to send us on our way.

Charlotte Y.

Electric optional grass touring caravan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Really clean facilities, site was lovely and well maintained. Lovely flowers and landscaping between pitches! Convenient reception area which also serves as a cafe and shop if you run out of essentials. Were able to hire a fire pit and purchase logs too which was great for a chilly evening!

Also had washers and dryers, we weren’t anticipating on using them but needed to dry some clothes off after some heavy rain while we set up our pitch

Disliked Nothing, great service and site

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (medium)

Liked Excellent location, you can walk straight to the highest section of the wall and catch a nice pub on the way back. Friendly people. Nice that you can get a breakfast.

Disliked Pitch is hard to reach by car in wet conditions. Campsite a bit exposed (although much less than with my previous visit 20 years ago).

Local attractions

Many of Northumberland’s attractions are within easy walking or cycling distance; you can access both the C2C and the Pennine Way under five minutes away by car at Once Brewed, while the Northumberland 250 driving route, taking in the national park and the coastline, is about the same distance away. You are in pole position to explore Hadrian’s Wall too – it’s barely 15 minutes’ walk away, bringing with it stunning views over Northumberland’s wild fells and valleys. A trifecta of fascinating museums includes Vindolanda Roman Museum, where you can explore the remains of a Roman village; Housesteads Roman Fort – Vercovicium has sprawling relics from a hilltop fort; and the Roman Army Museum (all within 10 minutes’ drive) offers up immersive displays on ancient Roman life at Hadrian’s Wall. If the kids are rebelling against all that history, try them on the “Shaun the Sheep” art trail and the engaging wildlife exhibits at The Sill: National Landscape Discovery Centre (five minutes).
