Me gustó Hadrians Wall Campsite, in a nutshell, what’s not to like?

Arrived on site where I was warmly greeted in reception and given a detailed run down, not just of the facilities but all the local attractions, shops, pubs etc and how to reach them, whether on foot or by bus.I was escorted to my ample hardstanding gravel pitch complete with 16amp electric and water tap. The campsite has a small shop in reception for basics, a laundry and very smart toilets and free showers. There’s also an information point with a guide to sightseeing, bus timetables, and recommended pubs/restaurants with menus and prices.

The AD122 bus runs every two hours, east to west following Hadrians Wall and enables access to all historic locations between Walltown and Hexham. The Roman Army Museum, Vindolanda, Sill Landscape Centre to name just a few. The unmarked bus stop itself is just a five minute walk from the site (maybe ten if you’re a slow walker) and is at the Melridge Road junction where you must flag it down. Haltwhistle town can also be reached by bus but if you’re not in a hurry I’d recommend the public footpath which takes you to the town via a very nice walk over the adjoining countryside and takes about 45 minutes. Hadrians Wall is within walking distance as are many of the local features. I walked from the campsite first to Haltwhistle and from there to Walltown to visit the excellent Roman Army Museum. The following day I caught the bus back to Walltown and walked from there along Hadrians Wall to Cawfields Quarry ( just over three miles) where there are stunning sections of intact wall to be seen. The nearby Milestone pub is great way to finish a days walking.

Hadrians Wall Campsite is perfectly situated for seeing everything related to Hadrians Wall. It’s a friendly, welcoming and well organised site, providing quiet space and all you need for an enjoyable stay. I had a wonderful five nights here and filled every day with amazing walks, historic sites and excellent food and drink. I highly recommend, you won’t be dissappointed.

No me gustó Quite funny really and not so much of a dislike as a friendly warning. If you take a shower early in the morning before it’s light and no one is around, the lights in the block are motion activated. Once you’re in the shower it’s likely that after a few minutes you'll find yourself fumbling around in the darkness when the lights go off….so either be ready for it or don’t take too long!

Me gustó Beautiful site first time there but will certainly be back. Walks from the site and a bus from the end of the road and so peaceful.

Me gustó Relaxed and peaceful site, pitches are tiered which allows privacy and great views over the countryside. Clean facilities and a breakfast cafe too. Owners were friendly and helpful, recommended walk to Hadrian’s wall with a useful map.

Me gustó My wife and I, together with our little dog, had a lovely stay at this beautiful campsite in our little campervan. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We had a great nights rest on this quiet dark site, perfect for stargazing whenever the clouds part. We had a coffee and a bacon bap in the little on-site café on the morning of our departure to send us on our way.

Me gustó Really clean facilities, site was lovely and well maintained. Lovely flowers and landscaping between pitches! Convenient reception area which also serves as a cafe and shop if you run out of essentials. Were able to hire a fire pit and purchase logs too which was great for a chilly evening!

Also had washers and dryers, we weren’t anticipating on using them but needed to dry some clothes off after some heavy rain while we set up our pitch

No me gustó Nothing, great service and site

Me gustó Excellent location, you can walk straight to the highest section of the wall and catch a nice pub on the way back. Friendly people. Nice that you can get a breakfast.

No me gustó Pitch is hard to reach by car in wet conditions. Campsite a bit exposed (although much less than with my previous visit 20 years ago).
