 This is a very good site for anyone who wants to get away from it all. Set in a valley and just a nice easy walk to Hadrian's Wall, A short drive to Haltwhisle for shops. No pub on site the nearest is probably a good twenty minutes walk.
The owners are very friendly and will do their best to help with anything.
Toilet block/showers are a bit basic as they are a portacabin but are always kept clean and maintained well they also have a sink for dishes, washing machine and dryer, and a freezer for ice packs (a new block is planed to be built in the Autumn/Winter). As large tent user it was good to have the hook-up electric point. No play area for kids. Would defiantly go back again.
Great for one night passing as many units did that during our five night stay.

I would just like to add a few words of thanks to the owner for the lovely weekend we had last week. He even arranged red hot sunshine for us. We were met as soon as we pulled into the site and parked up the caravan for us to ensure it was on the level. My daughter had a broken arm and was offered a ride on his quad bike. Fantastic views, lovely setting. Lots of thought and time gone into making this a nice little site, such as each level is named (Base Camp, K2, Anna Purna, Everest, etc). Even the "porta cabin" with the loos, showers, fridge, washer etc, was painted with flowers to make it look pretty. We will be back. Arnie!

Lovely clean site, free showers and hairdryer which is an added bonus. Views are great close to local places of interest. Roman museum, Hadrian's wall. Safe secure site for the kids. Enjoyed the site and its facilities. Only down side was the freezing weather. Would recommend

My first time camping with my 2 year old so did not go far from home took my 10 year old too.
This camp site is really friendly, top quality. We stayed on the top part of the site the owners are very helpful and friendly and are only to willing to help you. They even come around the site on the night time to see if everyone is happy and all right.
A class place to stay I will defo go back there.

A real gem! Only stayed at this site for a night while travelling but liked the mix of tents, caravans and motorhomes. The site has fabulous views and is very handy for Hadrian's wall and visiting the local museums and ruins. It is fairly level with good clean facilities - toilets, showers, washing up area, but you will need a very long hose or a water carrier (information for motorhomers). The owners are very friendly and will help in any way, you can even buy BBQ packs and order breakfast if you want. Nice change to the large formal sites but with full facilities.

Just got back from a lovely weekend at this site. The views are to die for and the owners are very helpful. This is a working sheep farm so you do have the quad bike going out to the sheep at 8am but that's all the noise we heard. It was a very friendly site and everyone got on well. The toilet block is an old porta cabin and had toilets showers and sinks in. There is also washer dryer and fridge freezer. The owner is happy to supply basic essentials. You can leave the site and walk for miles in practically all directions.
There wasn't any shops or pubs near by but there was a bus stop outside of the gates. Haltwhistle itself is only a mile and a half walk over the hills and the owner is happy to take you or pick you up. Hadrians wall was about 20 minute slow plod from the site and again you can walk there. This is hill country so take your walking boots.
On the site there is a pond which looked quite deep and had ducks on it.
The site is on tiers and is sloping but again the owner will help you get level if needed. The top couple of tiers have no electric hookups.
There was no access to the clean water or waste water for MH's. The owner lent us a long hose to fill up the water with but we couldn't empty anywhere.
Although there wasn't any play equipment for the children the owner did say in the summer the children play in a nearby paddock.
We had a great time and are planning a return trip in the summer.

Had great weekend here - fab views, easy to find too! Owner really friendly, very welcoming and helpful. They do take dogs (incase you're a bit wary of dogs like me!), the owners dog is really friendly though. Lovely to see chickens walking about-as they tend to escape!Bought lots eggs to take home too.
Toilet block had 2 toilets/showers (free) each, free hairdryer in ladies. Water pressure a bit dodgy for showers, but there was mains leak when we were there. Had electric hookup -no probs. Weather was pretty wet a lot of Fri/Sun, but good drainage and no probs with getting caravan going again on the Sunday.Great on a clear night - no light pollution, so sky fantastic!
Ideal location to visit Roman sites, but also good location to travel further afield. We went to Milecastle for food, food was fab (about £7-9 for main course)! Was quite quiet so went to to Twice Brewed for a drink, was more lively. We were a bit lazy and didn't walk very far, but did visit Roman sites Birdoswald and the Quarry nearby to visit the wall.
Travelled to Beamish Open Air Museum on Sat (Chester le Street) -would def recommend, so much to see/do: trams,open top buses,mines - lots to keep anyone entertained! On way home, went to Roman sites, so wen to Samson Inn for food-good traditional pub grub (Near Gilston)

Our second time camping, ( but our first time in taking our dog!) A great site, with mostly flat pitches, duck pond, rabbits and chickens, the site owner was very friendly and made you feel very welcome (even got to have a ride on his quad bike!), great walks especially if wanting to do a walk along the roman wall, not far from Haltwhistle, The site had great views from all angles, toilet facilities ok, taking our dog was no problem, and would go back to this site without hesitation.

Great location for the wall. Nice and remote. Be prepared as shops are not nearby but 2 pubs are :-) within walking distance. We are keen cyclists but even though there is the new sustrans cycle route through the area, it is "on road" and quite hilly. We walked the wall and then headed to Kielder forest for the cycling.
On the downside at this site were
- the pitches were not level
- toilet block was pretty cramped (4 wc's to cater for approx 70 campers!)
- showers uncontrollable (held together with gaffer tape!)
- 1 very small fridge in need of a clean
- the 2005 leaflet for sites in the area quotes price as £4/tent + £1/camper.
- I was quoted online £6/tent + £1/camper.
- When we went to pay the warden said "is £20 ok for 2 night"
We paid £16 for 2 nights but other couples in the same size tent paid more!

Fantastic little site. Superbly friendly owner. He even squeezed us in, at 9 pm on a friday, despite me getting the impression that he was full.
Great value at £20 for the weekend. Showers basic but always clean.(cheeky devil even got me to run a mop over.....how could I refuse !) We will be back, but will book next time and take the kids to walk the wall.

A fabulous site – I would certainly recommend it. The owner is very friendly and helpful – the little extras like the breakfasts etc (a must for your last morning when you are too busy packing to cook) really do make a difference. The facilities are adequate and thoughtfully provided (fridge, hairdryer & free showers etc). Also the lay out of the site ensures everyone gets a level pitch and it doesn’t feel crowded. Small and quiet but not oppressively so.
The situation is fabulous for Hadrian’s Wall, the associated museums and attractions, and not far from either Newcastle or Carlisle. The two nearest pubs were both friendly and welcoming and the food at both was amazing. We will be back.

What a fantasic site!! Small and rural, with fantastic views and less than 1 mile pleasant walk to Hadrians Wall. You can also walk to the market town of Haltwhistle, about two miles away where there is a range of shops. The owner is very friendly and the facilities are clean, including free showers, free hairdryer in the ladies and use of washing or drying machine for £2 contribution. Fridge/ freezer also in utility room to re-freeze your ice packs!
Beautiful site with small pond and family of duck, plus a few chickens roaming the site! The owner can do cooked breakfasts by arrangement, you can also buy BBQ packs of meat from him. There are two pubs nearby - Twice Brewed, where the food and beer is excellent (loads of choice if you're veggie) and at the Mile Castle (drinks a bit expensive, we didn't have any food.)
Plenty of level pitches, and a nice mix of tents, camper vans and caravans. We will be back!

We spent a week at Hadrians Wall Caravan site, and found it to be an ideal location to visit both sides of the country plus all local Roman sites, although small and with limited facilaties we had a fantastic stay and would recommend this site to all.
The friendly way the owner looks after each camper makes this site special, he supplies a small selection of basic needs such as eggs,bread,and milk.
We will return to this site without question
