 Stayed here for one night on the way to Bamburgh. Lovely site, with very hardworking owners. We were given a choice of pitches and chose one on Everest. Fantastic views with a bit of shelter provided by hedges.
The facilities were amazingly clean especially as the site was pretty full. Free hot showers with space to hang clothes and a free hairdryer too. There is a laundry room and sauna, but we weren't there long enough to use it. We chose not to bring cooking gear for just one night so enjoyed a cold beer from the fridge on arrival and a full English breakfast the next day. Beautifully cooked and highly recommended.
The area is just as lovely as the Lake District, but much quieter. We had a couple of lovely walks on Hadrian's Wall, and visited Birdoswald only a few miles away. We'll definitely visit again as there's so much still to do!

The best campsite we have ever stayed! The owners are friendly and helpful, the campsite has lovely clean facilities. The showers in particular are excellent and even though the campsite was pretty full, we never had to queue. The views are spectacular with plenty of walks if you take a dog like we did (and dogs are free at this campsite - bonus!). There's a good pub on the Military Road within walking distance where you can sit outside with your dog, and Haltwhistle isn't far away (we tended to drive in to get supplies as it would have been a fair walk back to carry groceries). It was an easy drive to Newcastle and Hexham and there are plenty of Roman sites nearby. The walk along Hadrian's Wall in particular, near to the campsite, is spectacular.
This is how campsites should be.

Just returned after a fantastic weekend at this site. The facilities were first class, very impressed, the only downside were the showers were a little low (ideal if you are 5 foot) but that would be being picky.
The site was very well run, Graham was always around checking on things, tidying up etc
Limited supplies in the 'shop' but local supermarkets 5 mins away if required.
We took 3 children under 8 and they enjoyed the walks and local animals, not much for them on site but plenty locally, the outdoor swimming pool in Haltwistle went down very well.
I would highly recommend this site, we will be visiting again.

What a gem! only stopped for one night to try out new folding camper as it was only 40mins up the road.
Owner great, guided tour of site, showed us to pitch. Ample sized for camper & awning.
No park for kids but they enjoyed running around site anyway.
Toilet block is excellent, even has sauna! minor issue of water in toilet block going off for a while which meant no flush or shower! it was back on the within a few hrs. Little windy & odd shower but well worth a visit. £10 for unit, £2 per person over 10yrs & £2.50 for electric if you want it. No charge for dogs

Arrived in a howling gale and heavy rain showers and were disappointed to be told that the hardstandings were all taken. We were assured that the pitch chosen by the owner, Graham, would not cause us any problems and he was proved to be correct.
The owners and warden are welcoming and ensure that all new arrivals are shown all of the facilities and offered any assistance that maybe required, in our case some heavy duty levelling blocks were provided.
The facilities block is based in a log cabin style building which is heated and clean with a plentiful supply of hot water. Laundry facilities include washing machine and tumble dryer which are chargeable but there is a spin drier that is free to use. The laundry room is warm and can be used as a drying room.
Follow the car park signs in Haltwhistle and you will find a Sainsburys with a large camper van friendly car park.
Plenty of walking and cycling in the immediate area - leave the van on the site, grab an OS map and enjoy yourselves.
This is a charming little site in a good area and we will be back again.

We were here for 3 Nights with our son & nephew. There is no playpark, but they enjoyed feeding the ducks and going to see the chickens. The toilets are kept clean all the time and the warden was always in cleaning up. Lucky none of us are tall as the height of the shower head isn't vey high up. If you had a tent they had a fridge / freezer that you could use and a cooking area. At the bottom of the road
When you have left the campsite either left or right there is pubs both serving food. We went to Vindolanda which was very interesting and the boys enjoyed this. You are not far from either Newcastle or Carlisle. There is a chipshop in Haltwhistle if required, also a Co-op. We were only at the chip shop that's when I also noticed the Co-op.

Just returned home from this excellent site. My sister and her husband booked this site to try out their new tent so wanted me and my family to tag along in our caravan. I'm glad we did, we arrived Friday morning and was made to feel very welcome by the owner, she showed us around the site, pointing out everything we needed to know. The toilet / shower block must rate as one of the best I've seen on my travels, everything was spotless,as the lady warden who lives in her motorhome was constantly checking on them. Although there was no kids playground this did not stop my 10 year old son enjoying himself, he,s wanting to go every weekend. I must admit I'd go beck to this site anytime.

We picked this campsite for our first family camping trip. We are a family of 3 with an 8 year old son and picked this site as it was only an hour from home, just in case we found camping was not for us!
We found the people who ran this site very friendly, welcoming and laid back. The site itself was great, we were sited at the top of the site on a plot called Everest and although it was a little windy it gave great views across the surrounding area. The site's facilities were very clean and well maintained. They even has a sauna!
The other people using the site were very friendly and our son easily made friends.
We really enjoyed and would recommend Vindolanda (roman excavation site) and the Roman Army Museum which are just 10 minutes drive away.

Lovely site very quiet and well maintained. Excellent toilet block cleaned very often. Showers are lovely, even a free hairdryer and a sauna. The owners are friendly and helpful, the site is very clean. Lovely views of around. Nothing a problem, we have stayed at this site quite a few times and the same welcome every time

We arrived at this site without booking on friday night at about 7.30 because we decided not to stay at a different site, all the hard standings were full but they went out of there way to help, plugging us into the barns electric
In the pitch black and gale force winds I could not speak highly enough of the people on this site. The site it self is very well kept with immaculate facilities and local info there is also very friendly chickens and ducks walking around. A great site set in wonderful countryside.

We visit this site 4 or 5 times a year and love it! Graham (the owner) is very helpful with knowledge of the local area and often wanders around the site on an evening making sure everyone is ok. The site itself is built on a hill which take the form of huge steps(tiers!)! the pitches are flat and there is plenty of room!
The new log cabin is great and the bathroom facilities are brilliant and always clean! there's is plenty of washing up areas and laundry room with a fridge and small freezer for icepacks etc! there's even a book exchange!
There is a tie up area for dogs which always has a bowl of water available for them too while your busy with your washing up etc!
It has lovely views and its sooo quiet during the day there is only one road in and out of it which gives it a lovely secluded feel. The only sounds between 10am and 4pm is birds sheep and the odd cow!
Theres also a bunkbarn which we are yet to use but I'm sure we will this year!
Its only a short drive to haltwhistle which has everything you could need - the little co-op sells almost anything! there are 2 pubs a short distance form the site although out of the 2 I would reccomend the twice brewed inn on the military road lovely food and good atmopsphere! (Sunday lunches are fab!)
The only thing I could gripe with is the last time we camped there, there was several large groups (one of adults and kids the other a school group) which were up almost the whole night with kids singing and shouting and the adults had a bit of a argument going on but we just shifted to the next teir up away from it all and it was fine - we will continue to use the site so long as the large groups are not a regular thing which to be fair we have only ever had this problem once - its just unlucky it was the two groups in the same night!
In all id give it an A star and would recommend to anyone walking the wall or just for a relaxing weekend!

Third visit to this excellent site. Set in secluded area, about 2 miles east of Haltwhistle and 10 miles west of Hexham. It is only a couple of miles from the A69, but you wouldn't think it, being so isolated.
Nearest pubs are about a mile away. Hadrian's Wall is a ten minute walk and the site acts as an excellent base for a 12 mile round trip walk to Housteads.
Staff on site are excellent and can't do enough to help, but at the same time the place is not at all spoilt by rules, that you often find on sites. Facilities are brand new, in log-cabin style buildings and there is even a sauna. The site also has an excellent little log cabin bunk barn with living area, TV and kitchen.

We stayed at this site for a week. The weather was appalling for most of the time, extremely heavy rain. Due to the adverse weather conditions the ground was very wet, at one stage we were surrounded by 2' of water, not pleasant for us in a caravan but very difficult for other members of our group who were in a tent. The reason for the flooding was due to the duck pond overflowing straight onto the pitches below it. The owner had been trying to prevent this happening by pumping water from the pond into the drains, but unfortunately was not successful.
The owner was very concerned about his grass pitches, to the extent when anyone went to move their car on the pitches below the toilet area, my son had a bet as to how quickly the man would arrive to tell them to be careful not to spin their wheels!
The site as I have stated was very wet and muddy in places, but to be fair, the toilet block was always clean, even though the site was packed all of the time.
The site was also very crowded and there was very little space between units (certainly not enough to park a car). All cars had to be parked in front of your unit, preferably facing downhill towards the exit gate, because the ground was too wet for anything over than a 4x4 to drive easily on it.

Wonderful site with the best facilities ever. Large showers, clean washrooms and even a fridge for keeping a few beers chilled to enjoy after a days walking along the wall! Bus service was excellent as it picked us up at end of the lane one day and another day after a long walk to Housesteads it dropped us back again. You just need to smile and put out your hand! Both pubs were wonderful but did tend to get busy early evening. With 3 teenage kids to feed, the wetherspoons in Hexham was a great find. Our pitch was opposite the toilet block, which if you dont wear earplugs as we do,could be a bit noisy especially early in the mornings. Nice flat pitch with plenty space for diablo 900 and 4x4. Will definitely be going back next year.

What a beautiful site this is. The warden is easily found and more than willing to chat, offer local information and help out in emergencies (we needed a jumpstart after running our car battery flat). On arrival he will talk you through the site and gives you options of where you may wish to pitch your tent.
The facilities block is beautiful, purpose built wood cabin, clean, heated and even music, it's well kept and there are freezer / fridge facilities and even a sauna! The showers and hairdryers are free.
There is a large meadow which means a walk to the main site for facilities but plenty of people were happy there. We stayed on the main site and loved the very humourously named levels, the top one being 'Everest' with 'K2' just below it. Electric hookup is only up as far as K2.
There is nothing really for children on the site and the closest pub means a drive or a walk of a couple of miles. I'd recommend this site as being an ideal walking base for the Hadrian's Wall area and will certainly be back again!
