Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Not too far off the trail, easy enough to find and plenty of space

Disliked: I would've like there to be at least a few picnic benches, I stayed on similar grounds (e.g. farm paddocks) and had benches to eat and cook on.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Handy location - I couldn't find much camping around there other than pitch on the wall - it is just a few portaloos though, so compared to the other campsites on the wall track where you get showers etc. it's a bit basic (and no cheaper than the other campsites). That said, the portaloos were very clean and had loo roll!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Good simple site. Toilets very basic mobile toilets but we’re clean on arrival

Disliked: Unfortunately one tent with four adults spent all night singing, talking loudly, and playing heavy beat disco music. When I say all night they seamed to pause about 6am for a wee while. The penalty of a non managed site. It was a shame as other than that it was fine. We will not be back ~ sorry

Local attractions

For rural explores, wander right into the farmlands from the site, join the Hadrian’s Wall at Heddon-on-the-wall (five minutes' drive), or feed the grinning alpacas at the nearby alpaca farm (five minutes). Those who prefer to travel on two wheels can hire a bike locally, glide alongside the river at Riverside Country Park (five minutes) or tackle England's largest forest in the west, Kielder Forest, where you'll need to pedal harder and faster to catch up with wriggling red squirrels and soaring ospreys overhead. History follows you everywhere you go in this area, whether it's Hadrian's wall (five minutes), the many historical beamed pubs or the birthplace of 'the father of the railways', George Stephenson’s cottage (five minutes). For a sandier day out, visit the craggy headlands of Tynemouth (35 minutes), whip out your bodyboard for Long Sands Beach, or raise your spears for action behind the battlements of the clifftop castle overlooking the beach.
