Lovely green views

  • Peaceful seven-acre site on a Northumberland working farm
  • Five minutes' drive to Hadrian's Wall; 15 minutes to Hexham
  • Families, dogs and groups welcome; accessible bathrooms available
Fabulous scenery meets fascinating history in the area around Greencarts – this peaceful Northumberland spot is in the lovely North Tyne Valley, tucked away between the Northumberland National Park and the North Pennines National Landscape. With spectacular countryside all around and the excellent Hadrian’s Wall just up the road too, it should make a nice stopover for walkers and cyclists. There are seven acres of camping grounds available at this working farm, so there’s plenty of space to go around. All sorts of guests are welcome here, including families, dog owners and groups, but please remember that this is a place that values peace and quiet – it’s not somewhere that tolerates groups that want to drink and make noise. Facilities on site include picnic tables, a launderette, a chemical disposal point and a washing-up area, and you’ll have access to bathroom facilities that include wheelchair-accessible areas. A small number of fire baskets are available to hire on site for cosy campfire evenings; those who’d rather be indoors for the evening can head to the pub five minutes’ drive away in Humshaugh. The village also has a shop, and there are supermarkets 15 minutes’ drive away in Hexham. Hadrian’s Wall is the big attraction around here, and you can hardly miss it – some of its top spots (including the Temple of Mithras and Housesteads Roman Fort) are within 10 minutes’ drive. Greencarts also makes a great base for walks in the national park, outings to Kielder Water and touring grand estates like those at Belsay Hall and Cragside.

What customers say

A lovely, no-frills campsite in a great spot for Hadrian's Wall. Praised for friendly owners, farm animals & views. Facilities are basic but clean. Some noise & wish for more WCs/showers during busy times.

Non-electric grass and earth pitch

Liked Facilities were great. Showers, and toilets. Electric hookup if you wanted it. Flat field so you weren't sleeping on a hill or on rocks.

Just off the Military Road so easy access to drive places.

Liked Simple, honest site.

Disliked Nothing really. The grass could have had a quick whiz over, and toilets/showers could do with some love.

Non-electric grass and earth pitch

Liked Big space. Lots of room to camp. Family friendly with farm animals. Great view and nice area. Lovely owner and great communication.

Disliked Stayed as a solo female camper and there was a big group in the corner of the field. They were super loud, inconsiderate. The kids played knock a door tent at 2am. The adults were drunk and driving the range rovers parked near the tents up and down to tne toilet block every ten minutes all the way to 4am. I didn’t sleep a wink as I could hear their noise from across the field.
