  • Well-kept hardstanding touring pitches in County Durham countryside
  • The Bowes Museum and Locomotion railway museum 20 minutes’ drive
  • Adults-only site with a games room, work area and wellness centre
Whether you’re looking for a tourer home for the night or intend to hang around exploring County Durham, you’ll find plenty that pleases at Kip and Nook, an adults-only campervan site with lots of extra benefits thrown in. Set in open countryside 10 minutes’ drive from the shops and pubs of Darlington, the site has well-maintained hardstanding pitches, all supplied with water and electricity. Modern amenities are adjacent – meaning no long morning walks to the shower for you. The communal areas of the site include The Workshop, kitted out with a ping-pong table, pool table and darts board, where coffee is served around a cosy woodburner. Use the quiet corners in the Co-Working Space to get any emails and Zoom meetings sorted in peace. As far as food goes, you can cater for yourselves, or order pizza ahead of time on site. If you’re staying around for a few days, you may like to book yoga classes, and there are saunas, ice baths and a chill-out area in the Breathing Room. Dogs are welcome to accompany you to Kip and Nook, and you’ll have no trouble finding walks – with some leading across a couple of fields to the River Tees direct from the pitches.

Kaymarie H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

The Tiny fully-serviced concrete slab motorhome site

Liked: The social space, fresh pizza, facilities, grounds and the staff.

Disliked: There was no pot wash area which makes things difficult in a campervan with a tiny sink and no hot water. It wasn’t as peaceful at weekends as some came just for weekend to use hot tubs, drink and party. Poor tv signal and Wi-Fi
