 Stayed for a week in middle of June, two adults and two dogs. I can honestly say it's one of the best ones we've stayed at.
The pitches are a good size, hardstanding on large gravel, and ours was a serviced pitch. The facilities were absolutely spotlessly clean and well maintained, the ladies even have baths too (bit sexist! 😊).
Sauna and BBQ hut both added bonuses that I've not seen before. Really good dog walk, an open meadow with mown paths and picnic benches and a fully enclosed field.
Loads to do an see in the area, obviously Hadrian's Wall and all it's associated stuff, Hexham and Carlisle both short drives and lots more!
The animals are an added bonus too!

Warm friendly welcome. Brilliant wardens. Very willing and happy to help and recommend places to visit or to eat.
Excellent pitch. Beautiful views. Lots to do, for all ages, in local area. Haltwhistle and Hexham nearby, will worth exploring.
First class toilet and standard shower facilities. Immaculately clean.
Indoor and outside dishwasher areas.
Added extras not usually found at a campsite.
Lots of animal friends to meet.
Children's play area
Proper baths, with overhead showers.
Family room, with disabled access and wet room
Style shower
Sauna at extra cost
Lovely dog waking pathways and secure off lead paddock
Indoor dining room, with microwave oven, kettle
Toaster, snacks and hot drinks vending machine
And freezer. Children's games cayons and books to borrow available
TI point.
In all our years camping, around the UK, both with and without our children, this is by far the most well equipped, friendly, thoughfull and well maintained site we've ever stayed at.
Emails send prior to vist with offers and local updates info and packing guide.
The care and dedication of the owners and warders really shows in lots of little details.
To have so much to offer at a very reasonable price is an absolute steal.
Booking very easy to do online.
We have already booked for next year.

One of the best sites we have ever stayed on. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful.
They were very helpful in the information that we were given about the places to visit in the surrounding area.
The site was kept very clean, and the showers were fantastic.
We could get a bus from just outside the site to Haltwhistle or Hexham.
Some lovely pubs in the area for food or drink.
We will definitely be back

We spent the weekend here as a base for walking in the North Eastern Lake District.
Great location, not far from the A69 or Roman Road, but very tranquil with nice views.
Facilities are immaculate and site is kept in great condition.
Lovely site staff.
Will return soon.

First visit to this site despite it not being far away from us.
If arriving from the A68 you will have to negotiate a bit of a steep hill to get to the site. It’s not a particularly difficult approach but it’s worth knowing.
On booking in we were reminded that they regard themselves as a quiet site and there shouldn’t be any noise between 10. 30 pm and 8. 00 am. No problem for us!
We went because we had our young grandson with us and there were animals on site as well as an adventure playground. He could help with feeding the animals at 8. 30 and about 5. 00. Due to the inclement weather that we experienced, he only managed it once, but enjoyed it very much.
It’s probably worth mentioning that part of the site can be a little exposed to the weather due to its position but this didn’t detract from what is, in our opinion, an excellent site.
The facilities were spotless and warm. In the male washroom there were three toilets and three showers and a couple of washbasins. In the female washroom there were two baths as well as showers. This pleased our grandson very much as he hates showers.
There is also a small kitchen with seating areas, with a couple of vending machines. There is also a laundry on site.
Many of the pitches were hard standing with water, waste and electricity on them. There were also some grass pitches but these were not in use because of the weather.
We thought it was an excellent site and intend to visit again in the future.

We booked for 4 nights at this site after a recommendation from a friend. We were not disappointed.
We were given a warm welcome and all the information we needed about the facilities and the surrounding area.
The site is kept immaculate and has been very well thought out.
The toilet blocks are spotlessly clean, with spacious shower cubicles. Nice inside elsan point also a spacious, indoor dishwash.
We used the bus at the site entrance to do walks at points along Hadrians wall.
20 minutes takes you to the lovely town centre, with nice shops and cafes.
We would certainly return.

We were booked in for four nights but unfortunately Storm Bibet scuppered our travel plans and the staff were more than helpful in letting us stay for an extra night and even switched bookings to save us moving to another pitch.
The toilet and showers are some of the best we have seen in 12 years of touring, lovely and warm inside and piping hot showers. There is also a communal room with dishwashing facilities. Fridge, microwave and snack machine.
Pitches are spacious and well set out and fairly level and all hardstanding.
The dog walk is definitely the best we have ever used. A huge field with paths all around and you could easily walk a mile with your dog. Poo bins and bags are provided.
A few minutes drive will take you to Hadrians Wall where you can walk east or west along the wall. We walked to the Sycamore Gap and wished we had done so when the tree was there.
Beautiful part of the country with so many things to do and see and also a Dark Sky Centre.

Superb site and excellent customer service.
Due to unexpected high winds our awning was brought down. The staff did everything they could to allow us to continue our stay.
The site itself has the best facilities we have ever used in 20 years of camping.

Absolutely lovely site.
Only did one night on the way home but we'll definitely come back.
The views from the top of the hill were great,
The staff were lovely and all facilities so clean - what more could you ask for?

A great little site surrounded by nature and animals.
Set in a shallow valley providing some defence against poor weather, although it was good whilst we were there.
Many, many sheep & lambs in the adjacent fields and on site are 3 Alpacas, a donkey and pony, two pigs, two goats, rabbits and chickens. Along with an extensive off-lead, dog-walk area this is an animal-lover paradise !
A three-quarter mile walk to a great little pub with good food, and Haltwhistle just over a mile in the other direction.
A surprisingly busy little town providing everything you might need, but do mind the steep and winding road - take care on the bike on the way down and you'll benefit from battery support on the way back !
Friendly staff and good quality facilities.
Nothing negative to report.

The best thought out campsite we have used, 5* facilities designed for the campers, someone actually thought about this set up, well done.
Little things like the vending machines and indoor area to eat food and play games.
Indoor hot water pot cleaning sink.
Goal posts in front of a hill for missed shots, so the ball rolls back to you, away from site vans

Though site in a very isolated location this site, as others have said is total luxury with a very fast, free wifi.
The walk to Hadrians Wall, past the Milecastle pub, is about 20 mins. The Milecastle pub itself about 10 min walk though a steep walk back after food and drinks, the food here is mainly pub grub though there is a restaurant annex, it also does a couple of nice north east real ales.
The AD 122 bus stops outside the site which was handy for a tour around the historical sites as well as visiting the Twice Brewed Inn to finish off the day.

WOW what a site! Absolute luxury!
The managers Phil & Sue and all of the wardens were amazing, so helpful and friendly and really made us feel cared for.
Their Covid 19 awareness and measures were fabulous, as we have been shielding we found this so reassuring and enabled us to truly relax and feel safe.
The facilities were spotlessly clean and modern. Heated floors in the bathrooms made bathing feel luxurious.
Low level mirrors for children to see themselves were really thoughtful.
Baths and showers were available, the water pressure was good and the water stayed consistently hot.
The communal room offered indoor dishwashing facilities, heated floor, tables and chairs, reasonably priced vending machines and fantastic information and books.
The laundry room had a washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing board and iron available.
The wifi was high speed and the TV signal was good.
The cabins, hot tubs and luxurious pods, sauna and BBQ hut all look fabulous, what a great place to holiday with family and friends!
The animals were a delight to see and are very well cared for.
Walking from the site was easy, a small bit of road walking on a very quiet road, beautiful views and so much more to see in the area which will keep on drawing us back to this site.

Outstanding in every way. Efficient and warm pre-stay communication and welcome on arrival.
Wonderful warm and clean modern facilities, hot showers and excellent sauna as a bonus.
The location is beautiful and peaceful, set in the midst of the Northumbrian hills and almost right on Hadrian’s Wall for those looking to explore it.
Can’t recommend it more highly.
