 We live in Holland and in summer we like to go camping in England.
This spring we searched the internet for a nice campsite, we found
Leekworth Campsite in Middleton-in-Teesdale, county Durham.
It looked very promising. In real it was even better.
Campsite is nice and clean, friendly helpful owner, thanks Robin!
Good size pitches, also pitches beside the river, with or without watertap/electricity.
Campsite surrounded by beautiful nature, flower meadows, birds and cattle. The village Middleton on walking distance for shopping and/or dining. What elso do you need?
We planned 3 nights with our tent, but stayed 11 nights, this says more than words.
Many things to see or to do like fishing, great walks or waterfalls to see (Low force and High force).
In nearby village Eggleston I did a Workshop painting, by artist Anne Mason at her studio. I loved her lessons and enjoyed her hospitality. Lessons also for beginners in all kind of materials. Find her work and more details at www. Annmasonart. Co. Uk.
For us many reasons to come back to Leekworth Campsite, hopefully next year see all those nice people again.

Great site with friendly owner who is on hand to ensure all is well. Facilities are basic but spotless (new shower block on the way)The EHU each have a water tap nearby which is a nice touch.
The site is developing and Robin working hard to improve the site further. Kids will have to make their own entertainment (which they do)
Middleton is a 10 min walk away and has a few shops and pubs. If you need to chill out for a while at a well run site you cannot go wrong.

Very nice quiet site with plenty of room for our large tent. Kids loved paddling in the river and plenty of walks to do with the dog.
The village is within walking distance (a nice walk along the river)with plenty of cafe's, shops, a very nice fish shop (closes at 8 30pm at weekends) and a good sized co-op
Toilets clean but basic, only 1 toilet for women 2/3 for men with no showers but I gather they are in the pipeline so at the moment good for weekend's but I don't think I could come for longer than that until the showers are built

We've just returned from a 1 night stay at this campsite & it was fantastic.
The site has a couple of fields to stay in and the although the top field is more private it is further away from the toilet block.
The toilet block as well is basic but it was immaculate and the owner keeps a close eye on it as he does with the rest of the site. He visited it on regular intervals during the day & night and was very approachable. He also told us about the plans for the new shower, laundry & kitchen block he is starting later on this year.
It was about a 15 min walk into town and there are some lovely cafes, pubs & shops. The return walk was along the riverbank which brings you out at the campsite.
The only thing stopping us from giving it 10/10 is the lack of shower facilities so we would only stay for a couple of days and not a week. But as you can see from above this will change this year.
Overall a very friendly site which is in a perfect location. Well worth a visit.

We spent five days on this wonderful site with stunning views of Teesdale.
The facilities are Basic clean and tidy, Robin was expecting the planning permission for the Shower Block to arrive this week, and said he will start on it as soon as! we managed fine without the showers though.
The site was spacious and serene, surrounded by fabulous wild flower meadows on two sides and the river Tee wrapped around the other sides.
The narrow lane to the site is an easy drive, and walking into town along the banks of the Tee is a 20 minute delightful walk, Other reviews have already accurately described the facilities of the town,
We enjoyed sitting in our tent porch watching hundreds of Martins swooping around feeding in the early morning sun, and listening to the Owls hooting as they passed overhead at night,
If you are a rambler, a dog walker, Fisherman or Kayaker, then this is an ideal site for you
Special mention to Robins Nan who drove around collecting the fees, delivering bags of logs (well dried and £3. 00 bargain) and checking we were all happy. She is a interesting and funny lady, ask her about her HGV licence.

Stayed here for a weekend last summer but just got around to writing a review.
Site at the time only had toilets in porta cabin at the time but were always immaculate.
We had an electric pitch which was a generous size and very flat.
Site only ten mins walk into the beautiful village of middleton, lane to drive into only single file so might be tricky in a tourer but we had no problems with the car.
Few pubs and a co op in middleton and also an excellent chippy
From recent reviews we see that showers have been added and we will definitely return very soon.

Just returned from 1 night stay at Leekworth. Found the campsite very clean and tidy. Owner Robin very friendly and helpful. Keeps a regular check on the site to make sure everything is ok and no one is rowdy.
Pitched next to river with great views over the countryside. About 15 minute walk into Middleton in Teesdale - fish and chip shop excellent!
Toilet block very clean and well maintained. Will definitely return soon.
The only thing we would change is to have hot water facilities for washing up and shower block but overall great visit and site.

We as a family have been going to Leekworth farm site Middleton in Teesdale on the bank of the river tees for over 29 years, when Alan Dent the last owner sadly passed away the site was closed down for sometime.
I have always thought the site had massive potential, I am glad to say that the new owner has the same vision as myself, yes this comes at a cost, but the new owner Robin Bough has transformed the site completely making it even more family friendly,
It was nice to see caravans & tens Motorhome all together,
With toilets on site and future plans for showers this will make a ideal family holiday site in a fantastic part of England.

Stayed for 3 nights in May. Originally booked for 1 night and planned to move on but the site/area was so good that we stayed for two extra nights. Fantastic views from the site which is situated in a valley and is right next to the River Tees. Great for lying in bed listening to the river.
Pitches are flat and there is plenty of room to spread out, unlike some sites. There are three fields on the site. One has electric hook up (if needed), the other two areas don't (one of which is a small rally area.)
All fields have good views and have water points/waste disposal. Robin (the owner) is regularly on the site and is always happy to have a chat or give advice/info about the local area.
The facilities are basic on this site (No showers at the moment) but this wasn't a problem for us. The toilets were clean and well maintained. I understand that there are plans for showers on the site in the future.
Short walk into village where there is a good selection of cafes / chippy / pub / co-op supermarket etc. Good walks available directly from the site as the Teesdale Walk skirts the edges of the site.
There is also a wooded area near the village that is good for dog walking. Plenty of fishing available in the vicinity but you may need to buy day passes depending on the location.
Overall, this is was a gem of a find and we hope to return again in the future.

We booked this site over the phone for a one night chill out and we weren`t disappointed. Set on the river Tees this location is idyllic and perfect for us as far as location is concerned. The site warden was very pleasant and helpful.
The toilet block is ok, however there is only one toilet for the ladies and two toilets and two urinals for the men. The ladies were often queuing and the site was no where near at full capacity. However we have been assured that there are plans for a new toilet and shower block.
The site is dog friendly with many local walks from the campsite
Middleton in Teasdale is a short walk along the river with a few nice pubs and tea rooms. We will be returning next weekend with Bobby our dog. Weather permitting.

Visited the weekend of the royal wedding for 4 days, the owner is very friendly and will stop and chat any time. Site is very well kept as are the toilets, which are very clean and tidy. My two dogs loved the river tees which runs at the bottom of the main field, plenty of walking in the area, Teesdale way runs along side of site and river. 5 mins or so to village for pubs and supplies. Liked it so much we will be back more than once this year. This is a gem of a site should not praise it to much as you will all want to come.

We originally planned to stay at this site for 1 night only then move on. However we had a great evening walk beside the River Tees and despite the basic facilities ie no shower or washing up facilities we decided to stay another night.
As we were out late, Robin the owner was anxious we hadn't got back to our tent that he phoned us to check we were ok!
The site was tranquil, beside the river. The facilities are basic and it took us a while to find it as we hadn't gone far enough down the lane. We would go back when Robin fixes up the showers which my older daughter requires as a minimum!

Stayed here for three nights with our dog at the end of April, what a gem! Fantastic quiet location on the bank of the river with flat pitches and beautiful views. Facilities basic at the moment but spotlessly clean, and a new toilet/shower block is planned. We didn't need electric hook-up, but it was available on several pitches. We had no children with us on this occasion, but they would have enjoyed the river! A short 20 min walk along the riverbank into Middleton, where there are several cafes, pubs and small supermarket open 7 days a week, and a fantastic chippy! Site is just a short drive from High Force, and there are loads of public footpaths nearby. A friendly site with very helpful owner, we will definitely be back!

Me and my two girls visited leekwoth after a busy two weeks, it was a very peaceful weekend we had. Just what I needed.
The local village was very handy and had all you needed. There are lots of local attractions around too, like High Force and Weardale.
There is lots of local walks by the river too. Staff were really helpful.
I have booked up to go back next weekend as I was really happy with our visit. My family can't wait to go back.
