A lovely well kept site with very friendly wardens and owner.
We were four adults with three dogs in two motorhomes and came for the walking which did not disappoint. We were booked in by David the owner who couldn’t have been more helpful with reference to the local facilities and the surrounding area. They even loan laminated copies of many of the local walks varying from about 3 miles up to about 12.
The site is compact and a good mix of tents, caravans and motorhomes. There were touring cyclists, bikers, families and plenty of dogs and the odd cat too, so a genuine ‘mixed’ site that was quiet at night. The single facility block is equipped to a good standard with 3 showers for each sex, toilets sinks etc all kept very clean. We were in the far corner but the maximum walk to the facilities is still less than 100 yards.
The site is mainly surrounded by trees but does have the road to Hexham along one side. It is a fast country lane but traffic volume is not great and it does die down at night. You walk along the road into Bellingham but there is a footpath/ marked walkway over the bridge, so it wouldn’t be a major issue if you had to do it in the dark. It takes about 10-15 minutes and dogs can be let off to exercise in the park just over the bridge.
Bellingham has the feel of a ‘working town’ rather than a tourist honeypot but still has 3 cafes, two pubs and a country house style hotel. We chose to eat and drink in the dog friendly Cheviot Hotel which was excellent with local ales on tap, good pub food and friendly locals and bar staff.
If you are in motorhome or don’t want to drive once you’ve got here, there is a Co-op, pharmacy, butchers, garage and hardware shop as well as the cafes and pubs.
We stayed here for our first New Year caravan trip and can highly recommend this site. The staff were very friendly and welcoming on arrival with a clear explanation of where everything is.
There is a small dog walk area and so many lovely off lead walks nearby.
Handy shop on site and a Co-op a few minutes drive away in Bellingham.
Small playpark on site.
Washing and drying facilities.
Shower block kept warm and very clean.
Communal room on site with kitchen area and log burner to keep warm. During our 5night visit the owners put on entertainment on 3 occasions in the communal room.
Owners were very informative of local area and attractions.
We walked to harefield linn waterfall, visited Keilder Forest and Water and also Bamburgh beach.
There are several dog friendly pubs in Bellingham which is approx 15-20mins walk away.
We will definitely visit again as it is such a nice site and lots to do in the area.
This is the second time I've visited the site. I liked it so much the first time that I told my friends about it and they came with us. We stayed here for a week in August, 2 families including children.
It's a lovely site, toilets and showers are very clean and checked regularly. The staff are lovely and are a visible presence on the site walking around and checking that everything is ok.
There are all the facilities you could want, a play park, a games room, kitchen area and an indoor sitting area for those days when it's just chucking it down. If we come back to this area for a holiday we would more than likely choose this campsite again.
Stayed here for a few nights hoping to get some star gazing in for the children.
Nice pitches and pretty level.
Amazing showers and bathroom facilities.
There's a nice little shop and a great games room and park for the children.
The site is very busy and therefore not so restful to stay at for more than a couple of days, we mainly thought its used for overnight or two night stays.
Staff are all lovely and will help all they can.
All in all a great site if you need a break for a night or two.
We Stayed at this site for 3 nights. We were made very welcome at reception and given a good deal of information on the site and the local area.
The warden guided us to the pitches to show us around. We were given the choice of pitches as there were many free being midweek. We choose a good sized pitch which was hardstanding. After the first night we moved to a pitch further away from the road due to noise from lorries. The site is very well laid out and generally level.
There were excellent views of the hills all around from anywhere in the site.
There was and excellent play park for those with children. The toilet block was excellent and clean. There was a shop on site which was very well stocked with groceries, local produce and caravan camping goods. We had our dog and there is excellent walks from the site.
The warden had printed maps and guides for local walks which you could borrow, which we did. It is only a short walk into Bellingham which has all the local facilities you could need with a butcher, Bakers, fruit and veg shop, Coop supermarket, hardware shop and cafes and pubs and takeaways.
An excellent site in a beautiful area. We would certainly return.
We spent 4 nights on the site intending to attend prebooked events held at Kielder forest observatory. We anticipated problems due to the obvious unsociable hours involved in star gazing.
However on arriving at the campsite we were immediately made to feel welcome and facilities provided for us to leave and return to the site at times normally restricted by the barrier time scale. We felt that wardens ran the site a very efficient and pro active manner.
We didn't spend that much time on the site. Too much to do in the surrounding area. Very busy site, pitches didn't stay empty for long. The access route planner is worth the read beforehand, as some local roads are not suitable for towing/ large vehicles.
Good friendly staff and kept clean. Nice and dark after sunset, ideal place for star gazers, if the weather allows. Would definitely consider staying there in the future.
Great site at the edge of the forest, we were greeted by really friendly wardens and were not rushed to choose our pitch, which was a nice size and among the trees. The facilities were well placed and really clean.
We had a walk to the waterfall hareshaw linn about 2. 5 miles away, it was stunning we passed through the pretty town of Bellingham on the way.
We stayed two nights and wished we could have stayed longer.
Just had a lovely 2 nights at this site to start off the camping season for 2016. The wardens are absolutely lovely (a huge improvement to when we visited about 6yrs ago). Really helpful, quick check in with loads of information about the area. We were recommended a pitch but also given a choice of others if we wanted. We went with the recommendation and it was great. Immaculate site with immaculate facilities. Bellingham is a lovely village and the walk to Hareshaw Linn waterfall is well worth it - we stopped off for a little refreshment at The Cheviot Hotel on the way back which was lovely. We didn't eat there but the food looked absolutely lovely. Bellingham has everything you need. Co-op, banks, bakers, hardware store. If you forget anything, you'll be able to pick it up there, and just a 15min walk.
This is a level site on the outskirts of Bellingham, which is a 15 minute walk away. The toilet and shower blocks were super clean and tidy. The playground is very small, so probably not the best site for small children.
Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. You can order newspapers from the site shop which is small but well stocked, with fresh bread and eggs. There is Wi-Fi on the site, which was a bit patchy. There was no phone reception for vodaphone, but OK for orange. Washing machine costs £3. 50.
Bellingham is a lovely town with a reasonable sized Co-Op, a lovely bakers, a butchers and a great bicycle shop. The walk to Hareshaw Linn is pretty, it took us (2 adults) an hour each way from the site. Great cycling on the doorstep, especially the Reivers route which uses some gated roads so they are very quiet, but it is all very hilly, whichever direction you go in.
A stop-over on our way to Scotland, we have used Bellingham C&C Club site several times. I think that the franchisees may have changed since our last visit, but they were nonetheless welcoming. We were shown to a very convenient pitch near to the entrance which suited fine. At £17. 55 the fess were very reasonable.
Bellingham village is a modest walk away and has a selection of small shops and three pubs. We chose The Cheviot for dinner, where I was served the most enormous rack of ribs that I have ever seen!
As expected from Club facilities they were always spotless and had plenty of room.
The Reception shop sold a small selection of tinned items, and local sourced bacon and sausage - the latter were excellent! (The former wasn't bad, either).
On this instance we had to approach the village from the A68 as there had been an incident on the direct road. This can be a bit rough! Heading out to Otterburn was much better!
We followed advice on website and used A69 coming off at the A679 past Acomb, B6318 past Chollerford onto B6320. Good B road but watch out for Steep bendy bit after Wark. Keep momentum going when towing. Good easy access into site from main road. They don't recommend roads from A68 when towing.
The people on reception are very welcoming. They spend time with you and offer lots of information. They tell you about the area, walks etc and offer leaflets. We were taken to and offered a choice of pitches. The community room with TV and kitchen facilities is good for people who need it. Toilets and showers were always very clean. Dishwashing is available. The chemical disposal is the best and cleanest I have used. The refuse areas with recycling were emptied regularly, never overflowing like some sites.
I recommend this site for older people and young families. The play area is small and nothing on site for older children, take their ipads. Nowhere to kick a ball without upsetting someone. I only found one area to take waste water close to the play park which is a distance from some pitches. The shop has basics and there is a good Coop in the village. The village is an easy walk and I found it easy to find a parking place. The Heritage Centre is worth a look and the railway carriage cafe is good with reasonable prices. There are shops and pubs in the village. A hotel with bar and restaurant is close to the campsite. We did the waterfall walk which was good, care is needed on some stepped sections. We enjoyed our stay and will return. Facilities marked down to 9 as no water and drainage pitches.
Great site to stay, and visit all the beautiful places this part of the country has. Site wardens were brilliant, friendly, and very helpful. Had a choice of pitch, and took the wrong one. Right at the side of the road, but not spoiled our visit in any way. Toilets and showers are the cleanest I have seen, even though the site was busy. The small town of Bellingham, is just a 20min walk down the road. Everything you need, shop wise, and the Co-op is open till 10pm every night. On the weekend we stayed, the site organised a barbeque, and music from a band, who were staying on site, whilst doing a show nearby. Luckily, it stopped raining for the event! Some fantastic scenery around the area, even had a drive to the Scottish Borders. Forgot, there is a shop, well stocked, on site, and the wardens will order you a newspaper, though I was just glad to get away from the media, and the election, for a couple of days! Will be back, later this year, loved the place.
Business like rather than friendly welcome. Plenty of choice of grass with electric hook up pitches (sheltered by trees or open aspects) but some ground seemed waterlogged. I would strongly recommend an additional groundsheet under your tent to protect it from the mud!
The toilet block was of high standards. The on site shop was well stocked with plenty of tourist information. The new campers 'lounge/kitchen' was also up and running - again of high standards including a giant TV/DVD player, which would be very handy if you are camping with children in bad weather.
The on site playground is a sorry little affair but there is a good looking town one 5 minutes down the road, though children will need supervision on the busy road.
Wifi was free but be warned that it did send the virus protection software on my laptop into meltdown. Seemed to work better on Internet Explorer than Google Chrome and did drop out of connection several times for no apparent reason.
Bellingham is a 20 min walk. Decent sized Coop, baker, butcher, hardware shop, cafes, pubs and a couple of banks.
Hareshaw Linn waterfall is a pleasant half day walk from the site.
Kielder Village and Reservoir really needs a car and good weather to explore all its different attractions. I gather there is a bus boat in the summer.
