What customers say
Immaculately kept site, large level pitches w/ hookups. Friendly owners, clean facilities (toilets, dishwashing). Kids loved the new playground. Secure gates & peaceful location near Hamsterley Forest. Animals a bonus! Portable units noted as small but very clean.

A fabulous newly opened campsite, highly recommended.
Powered grass campsite
Liked The setting looking over the fields towards the hills with the deer, donkey and geese in the adjacent field. Peaceful campsite, water "on tap" at the pitch plus electric plug in. Beth, who greeted us with a huge smile and advised us of local places to visit. Toilets and showers though not plentiful were kept very clean and hot water was always available.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Wow! What an amazing place to stay! The site is a small family run facility, great onsite presence to answer any questions and support. The pitches are immaculate as is the rest of the site, great toilets and shower were always clean with a fabulous dish washing area. There is a fab play area for the kids as well. Loved watching the animals living next to the site, they provided endless entertainment 😁

A beautiful and welcoming site, kept clean. Very helpful owners.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Excellent small site with individual pitches marked out by bushes so you have your own space. The owners are so lovely and will do anything to help you. They keep the toilets/showers extremely clean. Please be aware the toilets are in small portaloos, however this didn’t bother us because they were kept so clean. The washing up area is the best I’ve ever seen with beautiful decorations hanging up and the owner even provides cleaning accessories. Picnic bench provided. The location is beautiful with fantastic views.
Disliked The donkey in the field next door woke us up a few times a night!

Powered grass campsite
Liked Nice friendly staff, the site was kept very tidy . The wash and toilet area was regularly cleaned . The animals were entertaining, especially Keith the donkey who was funny, me and my son will be asking for a fence pitch next year so we have a ring side seat!. Great for nearby Hamsterley forest biking/walking.
Disliked Toilet and shower facilities could be a bit bigger, but having said that they were spotless.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Immaculate site, well set out with ample room for our burghaus 6 xl air tent. Every pitch had water and elec hook up. Kids loved the play park and tuck shop. We all enjoyed watching the animals in the field opposite. Owners were so friendly and can’t thank them enough for making the kids first camping experience the best. Highly recommend.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Very friendly and helpful owners. Constantly cleaning the campsite and keeping the toilets fresh, clean and stocked up. Cute animals on site and kids enjoyed the park area. Fresh water to each pitch which was handy. Showers were nice and hot. And has a large wash area which included washing up liquid (we had brought our own but wasn’t needed). Also had free WiFi which was an added bonus for the kids iPads on an evening.
Disliked Only downside for us was no campfires were allowed. We knew this upon booking but we did miss the small campfire, especially as it was quite cold when we were there. But otherwise a great little site
