  • Peaceful hilltop campsite with spectacular views of the Tyne Valley
  • A 20-minute drive to Derwent Reservoir; Newcastle-upon-Tyne 30 minutes
  • Dark sky site for stargazing; gastropub five minutes' walk away
Sitting on the edge of the sleepy village of Hedley on the Hill, Valley View Camping has a spectacular setting overlooking the lovely Tyne Valley, with a west-facing position that's splendid for watching the sunset. The grass pitches are on a level field with masses of space for games and activities, so kids can let off steam safely (perhaps flying one of the kites available to borrow on site) – and it's dog-friendly too, so your pooch can join you on your break. This is a great spot for walkers, with footpaths starting right from the field, where you might get to see buzzards and rare red kites riding the thermals overhead. Cyclists, you can test yourselves on the demanding National Hill-Climb Championships course that ran up into the village from Stocksfield in 2017. What’s provided? Portable toilets and thoughtful extras like complimentary drinking water, tea, coffee and raw (unpasteurised) milk fresh from the dairy herd in the cattle trailer, along with a sandpit for the kids. All pitches have a firepit, and logs are available to buy on site. An award-winning gastropub is less than a five-minute walk away in the village, with a fire kitchen and takeaway service. Just down the hill in Stocksfield, there are regular weekend food trucks at the cricket club and local pub. Stocksfield, Mickley and Prudhoe (10 minutes’ drive) have handy local stores where you can pick up goodies to enjoy around the firepit. If you'd like to take to the skies, guests also get a discounted walk-in rate at Northumbria Gliding Club, which is five minutes' drive away.

What customers say

Great wild camping spot with amazing valley views & chill vibes. Hosts are super friendly, loos are clean, and it's a short walk to a decent pub. Free tea/coffee/milk, fire pits. Just be aware it can get windy, and it's best for short stays due to limited facilities.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The view of the valley is beautiful, peaceful camping field, perfect for children to run around and play within the outdoors. Local pub is homely too.

Owners came to introduce themselves once we had set up our pitch & confirm everything was okay.

The green hut with fresh water , tea , coffee & milk is a lovely idea for all campers to use.

Toilets clean daily.

Dog friendly too.

Liked Amazing sweeping views across the valley. The cleanest portable toilets ever and very friendly owner who you can buy firewood from and use the fire pits provided. Close local pub a 5 minute walk away is also a plus!

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked We really enjoyed our first stay at this campsite. The view & the sunset made this a perfect stay. Campsite is quiet & peaceful and very spacious.

Disliked We ordered firewood on the morning of our arrival when we received our information text at 8am, when the firewood was dropped at other pitches we questioned when ours would be coming and were told they had ran out. We would have brought our own if we knew this was going to happen. Therefore we didn’t have a fire pit so had an early night instead once it got a bit chilly.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are sorry that the firewood had sold out, It was a really busy weekend and this was totally an oversight on our part, we had missed your order so apologies for that! We are so pleased you enjoyed our site.
On your next visit come see us we will make sure you grab a fire pit pack on us. We look forward to welcoming you back to enjoy the wonderful views.

The views, how respectful other campers…

Local attractions

What with the Tyne Riverside Country Park (20 minutes’ drive) and Northumberland National Park (30 minutes’ drive) being so close, it’s time to get those walking shoes on for bracing hikes and gorgeous views. Chopwell Woodland Park (15 minutes) has plenty of easy walks along former railway lines that suit families with young kids. Cycling trails criss-cross Northumberland, with arduous options for long-distances bikers along the Coast to Coast Path, and waterside rides around Derwent Reservoir (20 minutes), which is also a great option for anglers looking for a spot of fly fishing. Lucky old golfers are spoilt for choice too, with several courses within a 15-minute drive of base camp. The historic towns of Corbridge (20 minutes) and Hexham (30 minutes) are packed with cosy tea shops and arty boutiques, and it’s only 30 minutes into Newcastle for big-hitting attractions like the Life Science Centre and Angel of the North sculpture.
