Hi can anyone recommend a campsite near Beamish museum would like to have a week in June somewhere in that area.

We are not members of the caravan club or caravan and camping

thank you

Hi, you can search for sites to suit your requirements from any point on the map and find all sites within 5, 10 or 20 miles of your chosen location

Hi

Thanks I will give it a try

Bobby Shafto is the closest and is within walking distance of Beamish museum but reviews aren't great:

There is also Byreside Caravan Park:

and Derwent Park Caravan and Camping Site:

Both these sites are about 5 miles from Beamish.

Allensford Cavaran and Camping Park is a bit further away (about 10 miles)

I appreciate you say you are not a member of either of the Clubs but the Carvan Club site called the Grange at Durham accepts non members (at extra cost) and is only one junction down on the A1M from Beamish. BTW Beamish is wondeful .

This site, Finchale Abbey Caravn Park, is the next closest after Bobby Shaftoe.

 It's in an idyllic position. As the name says in the old grounds of a ruined abbey and right on the banks of the river Wear. I have never stayed there but as a small child had many happy days in the grounds and picnicing by the river.

It's probably only 15 mins to Beamish and 10 from the city of Durham,
