Coming to Co. Durham for active adventures, a bit of exploring with the family or just some rural relaxation? Whatever it is that brings you this way, Gallows Hill is a great place to settle down for a while. This small site is about five minutes’ drive from the town of Barnard Castle, and has fabulous views over the surrounding Teesdale hills. Direct access from the A66 means that it’s nice and easy to find, and also handily located for getting out and about to whatever activities you’ve chosen to fill your day with. And what might those activities be? Well, you’ll be just outside the North Pennines National Landscape and Yorkshire Dales National Park so there are plenty of scenic places nearby for a walk, a bike ride, some climbing or other outdoor activities. Historic attractions and museums are close by as well, and it won’t take all that long to get to Durham city centre or the spectacular shows at Kynren. Closer to home, Barnard Castle has (aside from the castle, of course) numerous shops, supermarkets, takeaways and places to eat. Pick up supplies while you’re there and you’ll be able to have a campfire to keep you warm during an evening on site. Simple facilities on site include separate men’s and women’s toilets and showers (all cleaned regularly) and a small play area to help tire the kids out ready for bed.

Cosa ne pensano i clienti

I visit i panorami mozzafiato e l'atmosfera tranquilla, apprezzando il buon rapporto qualità-prezzo e i piazzali in piano. Segnalazione scarsa e difficoltà nel trovare il sito. Alcuni notano disordine e detriti. Docce datate, a volte senza acqua calda, ma comunque pulite. Vicinanza a strada a doppio senso può causare rumore.

Piazzola tenda su erba senza elettricità

Mi è piaciuto - Gorgeous views at a very convenient location right off the a66.

- Lee was very friendly and helpful.

- The campsite wasn't busy.

- Great showers.

- Close to walks, historic monuments and swim spots. Some walks accessible straight from the campsite, others as little as 5 min drive away.

Non mi è piaciuto - Don't forget to bring a washing up bowl as I couldn't find washing up facilities.

- The traffic noise is noticeable as expected for such a convenient location, Lee recommended the lower tier of the campsite which was slightly quieter and I used to the sound after a while. A reasonable trade off for a lovely site.

Dal gestore: Thank you for you're very kind words. Glad you enjoyed your stay

Hidden gem. We will be back!

Piazzola tenda su erba senza elettricità

Mi è piaciuto It's nice and secluded with fantastic views. Has a kids play area which you can see from the pitches so you don't need to worry. The owner is always on hand and couldn't be more helpful if you need him. Clean toilets with a decent shower. The water was always warm. We will be back for sure!

Non mi è piaciuto There is a bit of noise from the main road but you do forget about it after a while.

Dal gestore: Thank you 🙌🙌🙌 glad you had a lovely time

Extremely basic, even for the price.

Piazzola camper su erba e ghiaia senza elettricità

Mi è piaciuto Nothing .
Kids slides available

Non mi è piaciuto Dangerous turn in across dual carriageway. Very close to road, so very noisy with traffic all night. No reception. Nobody on site. Only narrow muddy grassy strips split over two levels, alongside old farm equipment lying about. Not a proper campsite by my standards. Very basic toilet block, 1 plastic shell shower in portacabin. No inside bins. Very tepid water , only after long "tap pumping". No hooks for towels or toiletries. No dish washing facilities. 1 exterior tap.

Dal gestore: We're sorry the stay didn’t meet your preferences or our description of the site for that matter. Your review seems to evaluate a simple rural site against higher cost commercial standards, which we have never claimed to meet.... We are transparent about our facilities, layout, and pricing, and we provide thorough communication in advance to help guests prepare accordingly including an email with tips for accessing the site. We don't advertise dish washing facilities so I'm not sure why you expected them. If 10m x 10m pitches are narrow then I'm starting to understand your difficulty on a dual carriageway. Anyway I digress ..

Gallows Hill is ideal for campers who enjoy wide views, a relaxed atmosphere, and easy access to both the A66 and the surrounding countryside. For those seeking a polished holiday park, we may not be the right choice—but for many others, we offer a clean, affordable place to stay in the heart of Teesdale with fantastic views even the most hardened soul could appreciate

We continue to improve year on year and welcome all feedback that helps us do so constructively.

Kind regards,

Definitely use again.

Piazzola camper su erba e ghiaia senza elettricità

Mi è piaciuto The view

Non mi è piaciuto The whole site is terrible.
Firstly finding the place from the directions given was not only terrible but dangerous as you have to cross a duel carriage way twice to access the entrance that was poorly signposted.
On arrival there was no one on site to ask any questions or obtain help about where we should park our vehicle.
The whole area was covered in rubble and stones which made walking very difficult.
The site was littered with rubbish and old farm equipment.
The toilet and shower block was old and there was no hot water in the showers, male and female.
It is by far the worst campsite we have ever stayed on… and don’t be fooled by the photos on pitchup they are years out of date…
All in all a bad experience and a campsite!! That I would not recommend to anyone.

Dal gestore: Thank you for your feedback. While we are always open to constructive criticism and genuinely regret that your stay did not meet your expectations, I feel it’s important to respond to the public review by addressing a number of inconsistencies between it and your original private communication.

1. Shower Facilities. In your original message, you stated that the female shower was cold. In your public review, however, you claimed both male and female showers lacked hot water. This contradicts your initial account and does not align with our maintenance records: the system was checked the morning of your arrival and again after your departure, and both showers were fully operational and providing hot water and with several other camping guests on site no others reported an issue. Had you contacted us at the time, we could have addressed this immediately and helped you to turn on the shower.... Please explain why repurposing of used shower blocks is an issue? They are always clean and fully functional. Do you realise the cost of new shower blocks? I charge £18 per night!

2. Access Instructions – Received but Ignored: In your email, you mention, "I am aware of the explanation on Pitchup regarding the whereabout" and "we later learned that the gate had a key code" which confirms you had access to the arrival instructions we provide all guests in advance and ignored our email to you that included the gate code and further directions clarifying the entrance. Yet your review states, “there was no one on site to ask any questions,” and implies you had no way of gaining access. These two accounts do not align. We can only assume the email was not fully read prior to arrival and you made no attempt to contact me to render you assistance.

3. Safety and Location – Misleading Description: The review claims the entrance requires crossing a “dual carriageway twice.” This is factually incorrect as you'd be going backwards surely? .The entrance is on a standard B-road directly off the A66 and there is no need to cross it more than once. While the sign is modest due to planning rules, this is explained clearly in the instructions sent to you ahead of arrival... That you ignored on the website and via email.

4. You claim the site was “littered with rubbish” and “the worst campsite we’ve ever stayed on.” For clarity: items described as “rubbish” include **working farm equipment, two broken mowers awaiting repair, and materials** for planned improvements. These were located in non-pitch areas. Again, we would have happily clarified this on the day if you bothered to contact us half as much since you left badgering us over £20 odd pounds

5. Your private message was framed as constructive and helpful. The public review, however, shifts drastically in tone, describing the entire experience as “terrible” and the photos as “years out of date”—which is simply untrue - the shower unit is new to site this year as are the static caravans that replaced older accomodation. All images on our listing are current and representative of the site as it is today. It is a farm, don't expect a putting green

We welcome all feedback that helps us improve. However, when a review presents conflicting information and exaggerated claims, it’s important for us to clarify the facts to help future guests make an informed decision.

Gallows Hill is a simple, rustic, and affordable campsite on a working farm. We’re not a luxury resort, but we work hard to provide clean facilities, hot showers, and a warm welcome to all guests—many we hope to return regularly and appreciate our honesty and authenticity.

If any potential guests have questions or concerns, we encourage you to reach out directly before booking.

Kind regards

Nice site for a short stop-over.

Piazzola camper su erba e ghiaia senza elettricità

Mi è piaciuto Stunning views. Friendly owner left us a bag of wood for a fire. Level pitches. Clean shower block. Reasonable priced pitch.

Non mi è piaciuto A bit close to a dual carriageway so noisy, but the stunning views made up for that.

La consiglierò agli amici Tornerò volentieri

Dal gestore: Thank you for your fair review. We find pitching further down the row to be a bit quieter. Hopefully you guys can join us again
