  • Family-oriented County Durham glampsite on the edge of Shildon
  • Locomotion railway museum 20 minutes’ walk; Durham 25 minutes' drive
  • Restaurant and fishing lakes on site; private hot tub for each unit
Take it easy in the County Durham countryside – everything at Eden Grange Glamping has been set up with relaxing family breaks in mind. Whether you’re stopping over for a night to break up a journey on the A1(M) or using the place as a base for a longer stay, you’ll be made to feel very welcome at this comfortable site on the edge of Shildon (five minutes’ drive, or a 15-minute walk). There’s a laidback rural atmosphere on site, with each of the glamping units surrounded by trees and overlooking lakes where you can go fishing. However, the centre of town is only just over a mile away, so you’ll be within easy reach of shops, places to eat and things to do, including the leisure centre, the heritage trail, walks in Hackworth Park and events at the civic hall or the local football club. You can also walk to Locomotion, part of the National Railway Museum, in about 20 minutes. A restaurant on site serves up breakfasts and dinners that you can eat in or take back to your unit. You’ll have your own kitchen facilities too, so you’ll be able to conjure up your own meals if you prefer. Each accommodation also has a proper bed, an ensuite bathroom and heating; bedding and towels are provided. Outside is just as lovely – each unit has its own private outdoor space, so you’ll really feel able to relax out there. There’s outdoor seating, a firepit and (the ultimate luxury?) your own hot tub.

Fully-serviced hardstanding motorhome pitch (hot tub)

Liked We liked our pitch with a hot tub, the main reason we went. There are three hot tub pitches and we got the one overlooking the fish ponds which, in my opinion, is the best. We visited over tow nights just to relax. The staff are very friendly and helpful and there is a cafe with a bar on site which does take away food.
Other facilities are basic. The toilet block has two toilets and a urinal, with one toilet also containing a shower: there is no hand drying facility. The pot wash has two sinks but no sink plugs ( make sure you take a bowl). We did, however, enjoy our stay.

Liked We stopped here for a couple of nights on our way up to Scotland. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the site is pretty with trees, fishing lakes and glamping pods. There is a bar/restaurant on site and a short walk to the nearby railway museum. Dogs are welcome too, thanks.

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

In the 1820s, during the heyday of the coal-mining industry, Shildon (five minutes’ drive) became a major railway hub. Today this heritage is celebrated at Locomotion, where you can see the world’s first steam locomotive, as well as model railways and a statue of Robert Stephenson, who designed the Stockton and Darlington Railway. There’s something for everyone at Raby Castle, Deer Park & The Plotters’ Forest (20 minutes). Wildlife enthusiasts might head straight to the 200 acres of parkland to admire the resident red and fallow deer, while kids might insist you check out The Plotters’ Forest first, an adventure playground with towers to climb and treetop tunnels to crawl along. Stretching along the River Wear, Durham (25 minutes) has an impressive Norman cathedral that houses the tomb of medieval scholar the Venerable Bede. Climb the Central Tower (it’s only 325 steps…) for far-reaching views of this university city, including Durham Castle.
