What customers say

Highly recommended, well-kept campsite with great, clean facilities & showers. Guests love the spacious spots, friendly staff, and peaceful views. Petting farm and dog areas are hits with families. Secure and well-designed with various lodging. Some found stones noisy on spots; Elsan point location was a minor issue.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked The location was fabulous and you were completely surrounded by glorious countryside. Great, clean showers and even a bath! It was lovely to have somewhere to exercise our dog off the lead but safe. The staff were really welcoming and the gift for our dog and top surprise

Disliked It is a quiet camp but our sleep was disturbed by a baby crying on the next pitch during the night. Perhaps they could consider separating out families with young children from adults without.

Running Water camping pod (hot tub, five person)

Liked Very supportive and helpful staff, layout meant the kids could all play and make new friends whilst staying close and in sight. No major frills which kept if rustic and enjoyable.

Disliked Nothing really, superb few days, thank you.

Alison R.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Very friendly staff, well organised and conveniently situated for Vindolanda and Hadrian’s Wall. Spotlessly clean toilet and showers and even a communal room with a good selection of board games for wet weather entertainment.
Would love to return but perhaps not during the school holiday period.

Fiona S.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked A well thought out site with a variety of accommodations and pitches. Having animals on the site is great to see and I definitely didn’t mind the donkey honks first thing in the morning.

Disliked The stones throughout… they’re loud as cars pass by early in the morning.

Local attractions

You can walk to Hadrian’s Wall in 15 minutes, or otherwise take the AD122 Hadrian’s Wall bus service, which stops right outside and runs to all the major Roman sites. The forts of Birdoswald, Vindolanda and Housesteads are within 15 minutes’ drive, while the Roman Army Museum is 10 minutes away and The Sill: National Landscape Discovery Centre (five minutes) acts as both an interpretation centre and a hub for walkers. If the kids are a bit resistant to Roman heritage, try them on the tractor rides and soft-play centre at Walby Farm Park (half an hour), or set them up with dinghy sailing, duck feeding and wildlife-themed sculpture trails at Talkin Tarn Country Park (20 minutes). For wild hiking adventures over hill and dale, head for Northumberland National Park (35 minutes) or the rugged North Pennines National Landscape (20 minutes). For something more family-friendly, most kids will be happy with pottering sections of the Lakeside Way around Kielder Water (45 minutes) while watching out for the birds of prey that make Kielder Forest their home.
