Bolam Lake Camping Paddock

Likte Nice quiet campsite, space between pitches and having somewhere to park was great, benches available to use was so nice also. It was super useful to have a sink and some washing up liquid. The owners were so accommodating and gave us lots of recommendations about the country park and the cafe nearby and helped us with anything we needed. Also a beautiful spot and proximity to the country park

Likte ikke Some reflective strips or similar on the toilets would be good, just to know which direction to walk towards. Also some form of sanitary bin in the toilets, or at least bags to store waste in before putting it in a bin.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks so much for sharing your feedback and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in our bell tent.

It was the final weekend of camping season but the weather was great with beautiful autumn days and clear skies in the evening.

It was great to meet you and we hope you visit again in the future.

Thank you for staying with us and our very best wishes.

Likte Bolam Lake Camping Paddock is in a beautifully peaceful location, surrounded by fields with some horses.

Very friendly owners David and Jill made us feel welcome and were very flexible in terms of booking, arrival time and offering us a fire pit (costs £20 to hire and includes the wood).

The portaloos were very clean and there’s a wash up area. I loved that each pitch had a picnic table!
I’m also interested to try the tipi tent or hiring the campervan with friends who prefer a bed.

The site is opposite the campsite is the country park with lake and swans. There’s a nice 2km loop to walk around the lake.

And it’s just over 30 min drive to Newcastle or the coast.

Likte Fantastic site, with great views, super clean ammenities with very friendly and kind owners. Proximity to Bolam Lake and Shaftoe Craggs is brilliant. Think this must have been my 6th stay here this year with a combination of family, friends etc

Fra bestyreren: Thanks so much for staying with us again and it's always great to see you.

The campsite is a great base for walking, cycling and visiting local attractions. Bolam Lake Country Park is really popular and our guests love that it is literally at the other side of the road from the campsite:)

We really enjoy running our campsite and the very best aspect is meeting great people like you who love the countryside and enjoy their camping.

Thank you for staying with us and we hope to welcome you during the 2027 season.

Likte Really nice campsite right opposite Bolam Lake Country Park.
The owner was great, and very helpful.

Bolam Lake Country Park is lovely and great for walks and spotting wildlife - there is a great cafe too.

We enjoy meeting the guests who stay with us and we are always available to help or offer advice on places to visit, great pubs and cafes etc.

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

Likte Just fantastic, it’s a beautiful little site in a great location, my daughter and I have been several times and love every single minute of our time there.
You overlook wonderful fields that are filled with horses, a particular favourite of my daughter, the facilities are just what’s needed for a semi wild site like this with toilets and a washing up station provided.
You have food over the road at Bolam lake where you can have a wonderful walk around the lake.
But by far the best thing about the site are your hosts Dave and Jill. They are kind and genuine and love to talk to every one of the campers.
They go above and beyond to make sure everyone is welcome and has everything they need for a great stay. This reflects in the fact that they have such good repeat custom.
This is a true gem of a site. Can’t wait to come back!

Likte ikke Wouldn’t change a thing, there’s no need.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks so much for sharing your feedback and your very kind words. We love running our little campsite and particularly meeting the great people who stay with us.

We have set up our caravan and bell tent so that guests can stay with us who just fancy an off grid camping trip in Northumbrian countryside without the hassle of setting up a tent - we are pleased that you had everything you needed during your stay.

Thank you for staying with us again and we hope to see you again very soon :)

Likte As always a wonderful stay at Bolam. David and Jill always greet you with a smile and a warm welcome.
1st time not taken my own tent and I always over pack but didn’t need to as they have well stocked the bell tent with everything you might need (apart from a stove and bedding which is to be expected).
Would highly recommend hiring their bell if you’re new to camping.
Will see yous again next time (as always).

Likte ikke Never write in this box as I love this site and can never find anything to complain about.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks so much for sharing your great review which is so helpful to future guests who may be looking to book Betty, our bell tent for a family/group camping trip.

When we set up our bell tent we wanted to offer a camping trip without the hassle of bringing lots of equipment - your comments are so helpful.

It was great to see you all again and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay.

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your great photographs too:)
