Bolam Lake Camping Paddock

Kedvelték The caravan was clean and tidy. The atmosphere was pleasant with a mix of couples and families. The host David & Jill absolutely amazing could not do enough for not just us but every other person. Always greeted every person who arrived and checked in with everyone before the day ends. Just made everyone feel welcomed to the site and ensured everyone had a great stay.

Nem kedvelték Only issue was the toilets. No light in so made this darker on an evening. Understandably out of the hosts control.

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in our caravan as our aim is to provide ' the best bits of off grid camping in beautiful countryside without the hassle of setting up a tent'

Thanks for your feedback about visiting the toilets at night too which is really helpful. We have battery operated lighting in the caravan and we do advise guests to bring a torch but it would be a good idea to provide a torch in the caravan too.

Thank you for staying with us and we hope that you visit again soon.

Kedvelték Lovely relaxing place kids can run around burn off their energy and lovely walks around the lake

It's always great to see children making new friends and just enjoying playing together in the countryside.

Great to see busy parents just enjoying their break and relaxing for a while too :)

Thank you

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us at our little patch of beautiful Northumberland :)

Bon voyage et nos meilleurs vœux.

Kedvelték Lovely, laid back campsite with friendly, helpful owners. The close proximity to the lake was great for our little girl who is an early riser as we just got up and went for an early walk. Clean toilets and washing facilities with toilet roll, soap, washing up liquid etc all provided. Beside a field of horses which my little girl loved. There were a few picnic tables dotted about but not one per pitch so it’s worth bringing your own chairs. Pitches felt well spaced out but it wasn’t full. The cafe at the lake doesn’t open until 10am but we drove to the little shop at Belsay for an early morning coffee which opens at 7.30.

Bolam Lake Cafe is a very short walk from the campsite and Belsay Shop which is located in the village, is only a five minute drive from us.

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and we hope that you visit again soon.

Thank you :)

Kedvelték Set in beautiful rolling countryside. Horses grazing in adjacent fields. Quiet midweek when I stayed. Simple but perfectly adequate facilities. Very well kept. I had a choice of pitches but be prepared that quite a few of them are gently sloping. The owners were very helpful, regularly check the site and to see whether I needed anything. Would definitely recommend to friends and stay again myself.

Midweek tends to be quieter and the weekends are busy until school holidays so we are pleased that you enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful stay with us.

Thank you for staying with us and we hope that you visit Northumberland again very soon.

Kedvelték Lovely grass field, surrounding paddocks with animals and nice view. Very peaceful. Very helpful owner and very well cared for site and facilities - everything very clean and tidy. Great walk around Bolam lake immediately opposite the site. If you don't have a firepit and want a nice campfire, then this is brilliant - David has an excellent setup for that.

Nem kedvelték Field is quite sloping overall (4-5 degrees in places), not a huge problem but something to be aware of. Firepit policy is a little odd, you can hire fire pits but can't use your own, though I understand the intention behind it and the owner is just trying to maintain the site. However it could be clearer when booking as you see firepit hire mentioned so assume fire pits are allowed. Only 2 portaloos for a site of 14 pitches feels a little tight though wasn't actually a problem - they were very clean too. No hot water for washing up is a pain but understandable.

Overall felt a little bit pricey for what is essentially just a field, tap and loos and adding firepit hire on top (even if just wanting to use a barbeque) makes it quite a costly stay. That said, we had a lovely stay.

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us as we live in a lovely part of Northumberland and we hope that you visit the area again very soon.

Thank you too for your constructive feedback and in response to your comments:

We are a Wanderlust campsite therefore safety, protecting nature and environmental awareness are very important to us.

We offer fire pit hire as an optional extra as lots of guests enjoy sitting around a fire pit in the evening however we must ensure that they are set up and managed safely to protect our guests and the grassland.

Guests can bring their own BBQs however they must be purpose built and safely raised off the grass (a minimum of 50cm from the grass). Disposable BBQs can only be used within one of our fire pits to raise it from the ground so that it doesn’t scorch or damage the grass. David is always on hand to help guests set them up.

During the quieter periods when we tend to get more last minute bookings, there are always two portable toilets onsite which are cleaned and serviced at least twice per day. During school holidays we do increase the number of toilets onsite.

Thanks for staying with us and thank you once again for your feedback.

Kedvelték Quiet location, clean facilities and proximity to Bolam lake.

We are based in a lovely location and it's great when our guests can just relax and enjoy the countryside.

Bolam Lake is directly opposite our campsite so guests often enjoy an early morning/evening walk around the lake.

Thank you and we hope to see you again soon.

Kedvelték Excellent site.
Beautiful view.
Well maintained.

We offer simple camping in a lovely location but it's so important to us that our guests have clean facilities and that we can be on hand to make sure that they have everything they need to enjoy a relaxing break in the countryside.

Thanks for staying with us and we hope that you visit again in the future.

Kedvelték Great location and views.
Amenities well looked after and owners welcoming.

Nem kedvelték Pitches close together and busy so did mean that noise carried with music etc

We are pleased that you liked the location and felt that the amenities were well maintained.

We are sorry that you felt that the pitches were close together - we like to offer our guests very spacious pitches but it was a very busy weekend. If guests would like more space we will always try our very best to offer an alternative, quieter pitch.

Thanks so much for staying with us and we hope that visit again in the future.
