  • 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.

Power optional concrete and grass motorhome site (secluded)

Liked: Beautiful location, a warm welcome and great facilities - the showers and toilets were sparkling clean and warm. Couldn't have asked for more on my inaugural trip in my campervan. Shame they're not able to influence the weather! Although the night was clear, so the dark skies were lit up with stars.

Disliked: Nothing - it was exactly what I wanted.

Barry S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional concrete and grass motorhome site (secluded)

Liked: We really loved the campsite. The layout was nice with pitches dotted here and there offering plenty of space and privacy, rather than being regimented in lines and rows as a lot of sites are. The toilet & shower facilities on the site were very smart, as well as spotless and I'd highly recommend a visit. Ideally located for exploring Hadrian's Wall and just a couple of miles from Sycamore Gap. The site had a feel that the owners liked camping themselves and we were made to feel very welcome.

Disliked: Nothing really, except maybe the showers having those press type taps that run for only a short time. I've never been a fan of them but understand why sites use them.

Power optional concrete slab campervan site

Liked: Great showers, very clean and warm. Beautiful site, though campervans put up on the hill. Easy to get up and down and good flat surfaces
Little shop and they can serve breakfast. Really nice walks nearby. Easy access to Hadrian's wall ( easy 1/2 mile walk away)and Roman museums .
Quiet site

Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Thank you very much for taking the time to write us such a lovely review and for such a high score!

For the benefit of other guests considering coming in a campervan, we do have a lower hardstanding level where we ask large motorhomes to park (vw's can be swamped with bigger vans) while we reserve the upper level with its commanding views for smaller vans. Its a 2 minute walk to the shower block with very good access. Alternative secluded hardstand with grass pitches are also available when booking :-)

Our breakfast service starts on Fri 4th April :-)

Thanks again
Steve

Power optional concrete and grass campervan site (four person)

Liked: Beautiful quiet site with stunning views. Our pitch was secluded so felt like no one else was pitched on the site. Toilets and showers were immaculate and cleaned very regular. The owner was lovely. She checked us in and showed us to our pitch. We were given a map of some beautiful walks around Hadrians wall. Would recommend and will definitely be returning.

Disliked: No dislikes at all.

From the manager: Thank you Nicola - our hardstanding with grass pitches with their lovely views are always popular!

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).
