What customers say

Spacious fields boast spectacular Durham countryside views, perfect for a "back to basics" escape. Ample space, peace, and quiet are highlights, with Hamsterley Forest nearby. Basic but clean facilities and a helpful owner are praised. Some noted limited bins and toilets.

Maggie B.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked So much space and freedom - park wherever you like. A real back to basics experience. Also great location in terms of being close to Hamsterley Forest for biking, Low Barns Nature Reserve and water sports at Witton Castle.

Disliked There was one portaloo available for use. Personally, I enjoyed the back to basics but probably prefer it with a more standard toilet block. But it was completely adequate.

Amazing views and easy walking distance to local facilities.

Trevor & Lyndsey N.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked There were 4 spacious fields to choose from and all had an amazing view of the Durham countryside.
The site is within walking distance of Crook and a public footpath which runs alongside the farm leads to the village of Fir Tree.

Disliked There was only one portaloo.

Liked Second time at the campsite and again found it a great base! Lovely campsite with plenty of room for the kids to run round!

Famer is also fantastic and came and gave us a jump start when the battery died on my car! Thanks again for all your help!

Michelle F.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Location is handy but remote enough to go off grid for a couple of days. The guy that runs the site is spot on, we've stayed on the site a few times now. Great if u want to pitch up and chill and listen to the wildlife. Kids were amazed how close the sheep and lambs were coming. Advantage is the toilets are always clean and the site is always tidy.

Disliked Nothing

Kayleigh B.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Absolutely loved this campsite!
Great location, and the fields are massive!
Very clean and tidy!
The farmer/owner was lovely aswell!
You are right next to a main road but honestly because the fields are that big you hardly notice the cars going by, we were the only ones camping there but even if there were a lot of people camping there is 4 different fields to choose from so you would never be on top of each other!
This camp site is a lovely little gem with 2 porter loos, a tap and a shower(cold water only as the hot wasn’t up and running yet, but we go camping all the time and always take body wipes etc as we like the idea of ruff camping(we don’t go camping to stay at the rits)
So peaceful and quiet and our kids 6,3 and 1 absolutely loved being able to run around and play football whenever they wanted.
Thanks again for a brilliant stay.

Disliked The only one thing I would have to say is it doesn’t have any bins so we did just have to leave our rubbish bagged up on the grass as we didn’t have enough room in our car to take it home with us.

Local attractions

What wildlife havens might you visit nearby? Mountain bikers and hikers will want to tackle the trails around Hamsterley Forest (15 minutes’ drive). Closer by, the Hedleyhope Fell Nature Reserve (10 minutes) has plenty of creatures crawling around the gorse and heather, including lizards and slow worms. Birdwatching is splendid at both of the above, but especially at Low Barns Nature Reserve and Visitor Centre (10 minutes), a wetland reserve alongside the river Wear. That’s right now, but what was going on years ago in County Durham? Well, Romans would have roamed around the hilltop Binchester Roman Fort (15 minutes) and Auckland Castle (15 minutes) would have been a bishops’ palace. Durham (20 minutes) has plenty of history too, from its Romanesque cathedral and Norman castle to the museum in the botanic garden, which has Asian and Egyptian pieces on show. Head over to 11 Arches Park (10 minutes) to catch the Kynren outdoor show, which runs on select dates in the summer, and has live performances that bring to life different pieces of British history.
