Gallows Hill

Likte Easy ground to pitch up on, and not many other guests on site so felt nice and quiet in that sense. Toilets were decent and nearby the pitches.

Likte ikke It is quite near to a busy road, so was a little noisy, but we didn’t have any trouble sleeping once the tent door was zipped shut.

Likte Staff were really friendly and helpful facilities were clean. My son loved the little play area and the sheep
Only issue was the sound of the traffic all night

Likte Had a great time here it's a small site with great views and in a really good location for walks and exploring which for us included a walk down to Barnard Castle and back across the fields using the rights of way.
Despite the negative feedback from some we found the toilets and shower to be adequate and relatively clean for a campsite.
There is road noise from the A66 but we were expecting that and it didn't bother us particularly.
There were 5 of us across 2 pitches with 2 dogs and we thought it was very well priced compared to most sites that wanted to charge considerably more.

Likte Communication with Lee, the owner, was excellent and it was good to see him on site in the evening. Hot water was available for washing up and at the washbasins.

Likte ikke The campsite was a shock upon arrival. Its proximity to the very busy A66 was a genuine surprise. The site resembles a French aire but demands far more than one of these would cost. Terrain is very uneven making access to the washing and toilet facilities a challenge and children’s play equipment has been disassembled and dumped in a corner where the pitches are located. We paid handsomely for our two dogs but there are no dog facilities. The expected walk into the town was impossible as the far stile had barbed wire running through it preventing access by dogs.

Fra bestyreren: Hi,I really appreciate the information about the barbed wire restriction for your dogs this is entirely new to me. If you could please let me know if this is on our site or adjacent fields id appreciate it

The dismantled play area is to be reconditioned for use of our guests next year. We appreciate that corner is not the most aesthetically pleasing but we hope the view the other way makes up for it.

We do appreciate the constructive nature of your post - the close proximity to the a66 isn't something we can control but hopefully with more plantation it will be better next year. We try to improve and impress as the years go on

Thanks again for your feedback

Lee

Likte A good view.

Likte ikke I should have read the reviews first but it was a late booking.
It's ideal if you like a cold shower and with only one shower on site.
The 'campsite' is 40 feet away from the A66! A major trunk road. I'd have been better in the central reservation of a motorway.
Constant road noise all night long.
Very hard and rough ground.
Wild camping would have provided more.
Not my idea of a good site 😒

Likte Nice little site with good facilities and a spectacular view. Being able to book for 1 night only is great as most sites have a minimum of 2 nights. Good comms from Lee.

Likte ikke Noise from the traffic on the A66. Obviously this can't be helped but makes sleep difficult when camping in a tent as the noise keeps going all through the night.

Likte Really lovely little site. A lovely little play area that you can watch over from your pitch. The most beautiful view from every pitch that I could never get bored of. Really helpful friendly owner.
Definitely recommend.
