There’s much to see and do in County Durham, so it’s only right that you pick a nice base to unwind after a day’s exploration. And a very good choice would be Hammer and Pincers Caravan and Campsite, a laidback spot barely five minutes’ drive from Newton Aycliffe and with one very important USP… It has pedestrian access to the Hammer and Pincers (closed on Mondays, and open at varied times in the afternoon and/or evening), a pub with a restaurant and a spacious beer garden, where you can dodge any self-catering issues with a menu of good home-cooked food for lunch and evening meals. The site has well-kept grass pitches tucked in between the trees and surrounded by scenic countryside. There is a convenient facilities block with showers, loos and a washing-up. If you’re after entertainment, there’s an occasional schedule of live music events at the pub. A trainline runs along the bottom of the site, so there is some noise around the site. Supermarkets, shops and a train station are just over in Newton Aycliffe, five minutes' drive away. Here, you're only a 35- to 40-minute drive from the seaside towns of Hartlepool and Seaham, too. More inland, the boundaries of the North Pennines National Landscape are half an hour's drive away.

Dette sier kundene

Dette er en vennlig, liten campingplass med en populær pub. Personalet roses for å være imøtekommende. Fasilitetene er rene, men litt utdaterte. Støy fra tog og arrangementer nevnes som ulemper. Plassene kan være ujevne. God verdi og praktisk for stopp.

Tracy W.

Plass på hardt underlag , med muligheter for strøm

Likte Lovely friendly staff. Pub looked very inviting but we didn’t use in the end. Quite basic but that’s fine we were only there one night.
Lots of reviews about train noise but it really wasn’t that bad
I didn’t use the shower or toilet as I used our own so cannot comment on those.

Likte ikke The only thing was having to put the electric on a card don’t get that when you could charge extra for electric.

Plass på hardt underlag , med muligheter for strøm

Likte Toilets and showers were clean and easily accessible.

Owners we're very friendly and helpful.

The pub onsite was lovely and had a great atmosphere with a good choice of food and drinks.

Likte ikke Sewage pipe running along the site was very smelly.

Paying for electric on a top-up basis was a little inconvenient but the owners were great and coming down and topping it up.

Rebecca D.

Plass på gressplen , uten strøm

Likte Friendly staff and decent pub food.

Likte ikke The field was littered with cigarette butts and bottle caps, and there was an abandoned airbed, metal railings and traffic cone and an old wheel lying around which made the site look really scruffy. The field was also a slope which wasn’t ideal for pitching tents.

Plass på gressplen , uten strøm

Likte fantastic location just by the A1M, with a cheerful community pub on site, which opens at the weekends with reasonably priced meals. The pub has a venue at the back which some campers had hired on Saturday night.

Likte ikke Whilst this is a perfect site for a stop off it wouldn't be my choice for a longer holiday. The campervan pitches are in a small area in the middle of the field with no privacy between units, with permanent users being around the edge of the field. Facilities whilst more than adequate for a stop-over were limited for longer stays.

Likte ikke Some of the site is sloped. Toilet/shower block is a bit run down. Quite expensive for a single person with small tent, limited facilities.

Likte Facilities were clean.

Likte ikke Take your pick between being metres from a railway line or metres from an electricity pylon. One of the staff was very helpful with our tent and I am grateful for that however.

Likte Really helpful staff. Clean and looks to be maintained daily.
Pitches are not cramped together so lots of space to spread out.

Likte ikke Pub wasnt open on our visit, the opening times are on the website so not an issue, next time will go towards end of the week for a weekend visit.

Likte The owners were lovely and very helpful
Just off A1

Likte ikke Very uneven pitches and almost impossible to level caravan which was ok for one night.
Toilets very basic and not clean but think it customers just not cleaning up after themselves. When I went in showers had rubbish and hairs everywhere
Strong smell from what looked like standing water/sewage in nearby field

Lokale attraksjoner

There are loads of outdoor activities to keep the family happy: golfers can be out on the greens within 15 minutes’ drive, and there’s much alfresco fun to be had on wakeboards or kayaking at the North East Wake Park (10 minutes’ drive). There are plenty of options of a cultural nature in the region too. Raby Castle, Park and Gardens (25 minutes) has tours of opulent interiors, fabulous gardens, a kids’ adventure playground and a deer park for family walks. Visit The Bowes Museum (35 minutes) for its important collection of Spanish paintings, and in summer, book tickets for the historic outdoor extravaganza ‘Kynren’ in Bishop Auckland (15 minutes). If the kids are not objecting to all the history, set off for Durham (25 minutes) to explore the UNESCO-listed cathedral and castle. However, if tiny tempers are getting fractious, make a detour to Adventure Valley (35 minutes) for an afternoon of blowing cobwebs away on the crazy golf course and go-kart track.
