 Had a lovely few days here . We have an 8mtr motorhome and were given a pitch with wonderful views. The owner gave us a tour of the facilities which were top notch and lots of advise on shortcuts to walk or cycle to the Roman fort, Haltwhistle and of course 'The Wall' Will be back.

Fantastic time spent here, had originally booked tent site, but due to the weather taking a turn for the worst in September, changed my booking to the bunk barn. So glad we did - we stayed 2 nights over the English half-term hols, and the last night it rained cats and dogs and blew a gale - and was freezing to boot! 2 adults and 4 kids, we slept like logs. Graham and Pat were away in Spain, but we had excellent service from Barbara. The toilet block is superb, the location can't be faulted. Dinner at Twice Brewed is to be recommended.

This is the second time we've visited this site and it's been recently upgraded with a brand new facilities block. Showers are now spotlessly clean and always hot and powerful. Despite the upgrade the increase in price is very slight. The area is beautiful and ideal for Hadrina's Wall, Hexham and Kielder. Will certainly return.

Spent two weeks here at this site just south of the Northumberland National Park and a quarter mile south of Hadrian's Wall.
The site is beautifully laid out with one of the best toilet / washroom facilities that I have ever seen.
There is a bunk barn, fully equipped and even a library! Abundant hookups are provided, and the owners, Graham and Pat and their assistant, Barbara, could not have been more pleasant and helpful.
The views from the site, looking west, are lovely and the Roman forts of Housesteads, Chesters and Carvoran are nearby. There is an active 'dig' at Vindolanda two miles away.
There are no designated playing areas for children and there is little for them to do except walk, but this is an active sheep farm which, itself, is of interest.
Shopping is available three miles away at Haltwhistle and there are two pubs nearby along the military road--not suitable for walking, narrow with fast traffic.
An altogether delightful site, we shall be back!

Great campsite with amazing facilities. Really clean and new toilet/shower block and even a free fridge/freezer for the use of campers. The site is terraced so all pitches are quite level, and there are great views. No pitches are that far from the facilities compared to many campsites. Quiet and peaceful at night, although one night we did have a late arrival who pitched their tent at midnight only a few metres from ours. It would be better if no arrivals were allowed after about 10pm, or if late arrivals were restricted to camping near the entrance.
The only downside to the facilities is the dodgy water pressure, which is rather variable, although we were warned about it in advance.
Good value, and I would definitely return again.

Loved the site and the campsite manager and owner but had a tough time with the weather both times we visited. The location is beautiful, the facilities are excellent and the staff made us feel very welcome, very happy to assist with queries and problems.
Loads to do in the area walking, but our visits were shorter than planned because of the downpours. Would love to go back if assured of better weather, no mud and happier dogs!

Booked in here for a short stay-and stayed 3 weeks! Great views, friendly welcome+ top facilities in a location to die for! Kielder, east+west coasts, the lakes, even lowland Scotland within easy reach, and of course the wall and it's museums.
The atmosphere made it for me though, touring alone you don't always feel too welcome, but this site and it's genial staff were great.
I shall definitely be back, regularly I expect, and I've yet to try the in-house cooked breakfast! A real gem.

I have recently visited this site, and was very impressed by the friendly atmosphere promoted by the staff and management. The site is well run and found to be well maintained and the recently added bunk house together with the adjoining facility block is superb.
I will certainly be visiting again and for those who like walking in the beautiful local countryside, you could do no better than to have a chat with the proprietor for local walking advice.

This was only my second time camping so it was touch and go as to whether I'd stay or just run to the nearest ensuite facilities. The site was great. Well thought out details, like sinks for washing dishes with drainers/cloths and split level pitches that gave a really nice perspective and feeling of privacy and space. Swanky new shower block was like being in a hotel and smells of lovely new pine. We arrived with a new tent and no clue how to put it up. The woman in reception was really nice and didn't patronise us at all. And then when we came to getting it all out of the bag our lovely neighbour helped us get started (actually he did just about all the hard work - bless him, while I dithered about with a single tent peg). The light/sunsets are amazing, in a quiet secluded spot with no cars whizzing by your head.

Great welcome, great facilities, infact the cleanliiness of the washing up sinks meant I had to put on sunglasses.
The toilet block has a key code system for trips made to it in the middle of the night, and the washing machine was in full working order. These last two points should silence previous reviewers moans.
We were up on the 'everest' terrace, great view and not as windswept as expected, though we were using an expedition tent with a low profile.
While we were there a local band put in some rehearsal time in a nearby barn. This meant not only were we in fantastic countryside, but for a couple of hours in the early evening felt we were in a small festival a bonus from our perspective, particulary as the weather was damp.
One of the little touches that makes this site exceptional was the little enviromentally conscious touches: real(and clean)hand towels adjacent to the wash basins.
One of the best sites in England.
Oh,and the wall is worth a visit too.

Hi, it's the owners here. Just had to respond to a comment about the loos being locked until 7 am - they are never locked, everyone gets a security number so they can go all night every night if they wish! Also, next to the washing machine that wasn't plumbed in, was another one that was!
There are two washing machines and one tumble drier, as well as a spin drier. No one needs to go home with dirty washing.
We are on duty 17 hours a day, any problems just ask.

This site has had a huge investment in the upgrading of its shower/toilet facilities. The block is constructed in lovely Norwegian pine and boasts excellent free showers and free hairdryer.
The disabled toilet and shower is housed in its own room and has ample space for wheelchair and any carer that a person might need.
In the laundry room there are two fridge's and 1 freezer which are for campers use - all free. Two washing machines and tumble dryer. A free Iron and board has also been provided.
Adjacent to the block is the dish washing area which is all undercover - so the kids have no excuse not to lend mums or dads a hand!
The site itself is very secluded, boast spectacular views and more importantly has no traffic thundering past.
It is in good walking distance to the famous Hadrians Wall which I am told is lovely!
The pun there is that I came to this site in late July to visit the Wall and got on so well with Graham and Pat who run the site that I have stayed to work for them - WALL WHAT WALL!?
So if you want a relaxing holiday with lots to do and the facilities that you would expect at home then get yourself to this little oasis in Northumberland.

My friends and I camp here three or four times a year.
Despite the horrible weather we decided to visit H Wall site just to chill out. Imagine our surprise when we saw the new and fabulous showerblock - like a four star hotel.
It rained and rained, but after a long day walking we had endless hot showers and dried our gear in the new laundry room. The shower block is centrally heated so we will definitely be back in the winter!
I told the owner that all the site needs now is a sauna - he promises that there will be one next time we visit!

Was welcomed by the owner who showed us the facilties, which are excellent, newly built toilet/shower block with laundry facilities as well.
Surrounding area is fantastic, nearest pub is approx 1 mile away. Hadrians wall is within walking distance. Nearest small village is not too far away with all amenities.
Would definitely recommend this site and would stay there again. We took our dog with us who also enjoyed the stay.

Firstly, the new facilities are not that great - the water pressure sometimes fails completely. I was told that if this happens you have to press down all the taps! This fault duly occurred when I was stark naked in the shower cubicle, so, yes, I had to wrap myself up and bomb down the line of sinks pressing all the taps. OK, so it worked, but this was not really what I expected from a new £70k block!
There were lots of humungous tents on the site and we, with a little two-man, were initially plonked on the end of what looked (and felt) like a bog. We asked to be moved and after a lot of head scratching and excuses ("We've got big units coming in, etc" -Yes, but we booked weeks ahead) we were given a corner of a plot. They actually asked us to get right into the corner and take up as little space as possible. Thanks a lot!
Looking around the site I noticed that everyone was pretty much on top of each other. Caravans were parked almost nose to tail. It seemed they were trying to squeeze in as many paying campers as possible.
After the slightly stressful set-up we wandered up to the Twice-Brewed (about 1.5 miles along a fast straight road). Great food. Very busy, but they are obviously used to it as service was excellent.
Then was kept awake all night by some kids in a tent that looked like the Eden Project.
If you a small-scale camper I would not recommend this site as we just did not feel very welcome - were more of a hindrance to all the big guns. Oh yeah, and I don't fancy dancing around the toilet block in the nude again.
