What customers say
This clean, spacious site has great views & helpful owners. Perfect for exploring Hadrian's Wall & Derwent Reservoir. Some road noise, but dog-friendly and near a pub. Highly recommended!

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass tent or RV campsite (large)
Liked Great location with a lovely pub next door.
Nice owners who did a good job trying to quieten the yobs on the site who were rowdy late on.
Disliked Can’t blame the site for the dreadful people who were staying next to me.

Beautiful scenery but not ideal for motorhomes!
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Spacious pitch. Scenery. Chickens. Probably a great site for campers in summer or cyclists.
Disliked Toilet/shower block very basic. Nowhere to walk to directly from the campsite without walking along a busy main road with no pavement. Would have helped to know the only pub/restaurant nearby closed on Mondays.

Great place, right next to a pub and restaurant. Not tried though
Primitive cement/asphalt and grass tent or RV campsite (large)
Liked Pitch types and size. Views from pitches. Toilets and showers. Friendliness of the owner.
Disliked Storm Amy. I know, not their fault and I’m sure there will be lots of you who say ‘why go when you knew it was coming’.
We faired quite well in the campervan.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked The communication between guest and host is brilliant. Quick response and good information. The site is well kept with beautiful views. The pitches are the best we’ve been on. Toilet facilities and showers are spotless. We stay here regularly as it’s the best we’ve stayed at. You see so much wildlife is red kites, rabbits and alike.
