 Very pleasant stay at a lovely little campsite which has everything you could need. Showers and toilets clean, new play area for kids and a cake and coffee shop selling ice creams for the kids. Campsite owners also very friendly.
Less than 10 minutes drive into Durham, and less than 10 min a Tesco Extra and take away options.

We’ve just returned from a 2 night stay. What can I say; this place is beautiful. The site is spotlessly clean, the showers and toilets are immaculate.
The owners Adam and Louise are very friendly and welcoming; both work very hard but nothing seems a problem to them. Louise makes the most amazing home baked cakes along with a whole variety of home cooked goodies in the lovely tea room on site.
Adam is always around to offer a hand if needed and we had to call on him on more than 1 occasion, tent trouble, car with a flat battery etc etc. Thanks again!
Looking forward to coming back soon

Absolutely brilliant site, was met by Adam on arrival who was very accommodating and eager to make our stay a pleasant one.
It was our first time out with a caravan and they were very understanding with our lack of skill and knowledge, even though it had been snowing before our arrival and raining since they had no problems with us driving over the grass to get the caravan sited or with parking the car next to it,
There are plenty of bricks and blocks on the site to assist with levelling and water and waste points are well spaced with fire prevention at each point, given that it rained almost the entire time the ground drained well and the van didn’t sink.
The site is well positioned just outside of Durham, around 10 minutes away from the local Tesco and there is a local pub just under 5 minutes away.
My only negative is that we found the water temperature in the showers to be rather cold.
Will most definitely stay here next time we are up.

We stayed here for two weeks and made a base to visit the surrounding area.
What a gem of a caravan park.
Louise and Adam have just taken ownership and are wonderful.
A very exciting time.
The site has terraces, some flat, some slightly sloping.
There are plenty of bricks and wood to assist with levelling the units.
Electricity is metered which means you only pay for what you use.
The facilities are immaculate but do need moderately updating.
Adam and Louise have plans to develop the site and we wish them good luck in their endeavours, we will be back to see what they have done.
The site is off a fast road look out for the sign, there is. Some road noise but it didn't worry us.

Friendly, clean and great value for money.
The site is a perfect base to visit Durham and surrounding area’s. There were 3 families in our party and we had opted for grass pitches with electric hook up. This worked out perfectly as the children were able to play in another grasses area nearby which was away from the caravans but still in sight.
The site was spotlessly clean, with rubbish & recycling being collected on a regular basis. Howard the owner had a friendly relaxed attitude and was really helpful providing us with maps to the local dog friendly pub and guides for the surrounding areas. The facilities were clean and all in working order with showers remaining nice and hot.
The site is situated off a dual carriage way but access is very simple, you just have to nip to the roundabout 5 mins down the road and come back on yourself. In terms of road noise, yes there was a little but the birds singing in the morning were louder and it was lovely seeing the rabbits in the hedge rows
The fact that you only pay for the electric you use was also a real bonus and makes this site real value for money.
We all had a great 2017 Easter weekend

Bit of a problem with could you attach a tent to a camper van. Awning was OK, but not tent and van together.
It was either van or tent. The owners explained the reasons which was fine and accommodated us. Sorry my kids did not like the site.
Saying that nice and clean with large pitches. Need to sort out the directions to the campsite on the website as they are not clear. It would of been easier to make the local pub as a sat nav point.
Sign on the other side of the road would also be helpful. Woke by traffic noise from the road outside the campsite. Would not be my first choice if in the area.

Met by a very friendly guy, who was more than happy to help. Now the site its set on a slope which is terraced, into 4 flat areas on a very busy section of road with loads of traffic noise, the area near the road would be very bad.
The facilities are kept clean but are old fashioned, and only have two toilets and two showers in both the ladies and gents, and they are very cold although fitted with an electric radiator its disconnected.
When we were there there were only 4 units on the site so at busy times I expect the showers would be under considerable pressure. Even with only the few of us on site the showers ran cold before we could complete showering, not good in a freezing room. My wife tells me that in effect the ladies only had one shower as the lock on the door on one was broken.
The price per night was not too bad, £20, but electricity was metered but was not overly expensive. Access is quite difficult as its on a stretch of duel carriageway, on leaving you go a few hundred yards then have to make a you turn which would be a bit dodgy if towing a caravan. There is no play area for kids.

Management response: We are saddened and disappointed with Mr Williams comments which regrettably are in most cases his assumptions and are unfounded. However we take his comments on board.
Firstly the facilities are refurbished yearly and conform in quantity and quality with our 4 star grading from Visit England. The radiators are on a timer which activate when the temperature drops below 10 degrees celcius. The door locks on all showers are functioning perfectly.
Apologies to Mr Williams if during his stay the free showers ran cold however campers staying at the same time and after Mr Williams commented on the quality and hot temperature of our showers.
With regard to the 'u' turn that Mr Williams suggests within the dual carriageway with a tourer this would be contravening the Highway Code. Use the roundabout a little further on.
We are sorry that Mr Williams found us not to his liking and thank him for his comments and his kind comments about my friendliness.

Had a lovely weekend at this site. Malcolm showed us to our pitch and was friendly and polite.
Toilets were very clean and cheerful. Large pitches which is always good.
Good meal at the Three Horseshoe's nearby. Only let down was the constant road noise from the duel carriageway just outside the park which the owners obviously have no control over.
Would stay there again.

Lovely small and friendly campsite. Howard and his wife couldn't have done enough to please us and keep the place clean and tidy.
We travelled as 2 families. 2 adults, 2 children and a baby in one and 2 adults and 3 children in another. Howard gave us double pitches each so we had room to pitch and room for the children to play. When we arrived the heavens had opened but he still showed us to our pitch.
The facilities were gleaming. Toilet and shower block were immaculate. Next door was the washing up area that was always clean and tidy. The bins around the campsite were always emptied as well as the recycle bin.
Only a tiny few little things I would like to see change.
More lighting on the way to the toilet block. Its very dark. The entrance sign could do with an update and more eye catching. I drove passed it. But overall wouldn't stop me coming back.
We've had a fantastic few nights and will be booking again.
Thank you

Good size pitches, lovely friendly couple, but everywhere urgently needs a good bit of TLC, even the sign into the site! There is considerable traffic noise from the very busy road next to it - nothing the owners can do about that, but you should be aware. There is a pub within a mile BUT you can't walk there without considerable risk, there is not any pavement, we gave it a miss. The bus stop is a 5 min walk but if the council haven't cut the verge, could be dangerous. Nothing for children here.

Booked 2 nights by phone, £35 deposit required. On arrival £44 deducted off Visa. Ladies WC's, shower dated. Old oil filled radiator on wall but off. Too many rigs for facilities. Hot water trickle 35+ rigs
|
Management response: I would like to take this opportunity to apologise again to this lady as she is quite correct. I did take the £44 pitch fee as a deposit in error and I did apologise to her on arrival. The usual deposit is £35 and the balance, £9, was due on arrival.
During this camper's stay with us there were between 22 and 27 units on site not the 35+ she intimated. This is to comply with our 4 star rating with the ETC.

We chose Strawberry Hill because of its location which is ideal for exploring Durham and surrounding areas. The directions we were sent on booking were clear and easy to follow. The welcome was friendly and there was a little board next to our pitch with my name on so I guess if the owners hadn't been on site we could have pitched.
Each pitch has a hard standing area next to grass with a hookup where unusually, you read the meter to determine electricity usage during the stay and pay for what you use on checking out. We stayed 4 nights, used the kettle, toaster and fan heater, as well as lighting and the fridge, and paid £2. 40, so this seems better value than the normal £2 a night surcharge that we've paid elsewhere.
The toilets and showers were nicely decorated with fresh flowers and there was plenty of hot water, toilet roll and paper towels. At the start of our stay the heat wasn't on but the owners rectified that.
The washing up area is under cover and there is a laundry room with coin operated machine which we didn't use but it would come in useful on a longer stay.
There is no security gate on the site which might be of concern to campers or people who like to store things in their awnings but didn't worry us unduly.
As others have said, there is fairly constant but low level road noise from the main road but this is the price you pay for the location close to the Durham park and ride and with easy links to Beamish, which we visited twice as it was so good.
For anyone wanting a quiet site in easy reach of Durham, Beamish, Hartlepool and surrounding area, this is an ideal site.

We've just returned from a lovely weekend stay at Strawberry Hill Farm. This was our first camping trip with our 18month daughter which has been a great success. We had plenty of space around our pitch for her to play, the facilities were nice and clean and the owners were lovely and friendly. The farm is close to a large Asda and Tesco which was handy for us as we'd ran out of room in the car so had to do our shop after pitching up! I've seen some reviews complaining about the road noise but this didn't disturb us once, even our daughter slept until 8am! We've really enjoyed our stay and hope to try and fit in one more visit before winter sets. If we could pick one fault it would be the large tree blocking the view overlooking Durham from the top camping field, there was a small gap where we could see but if that tree wasn't there the views would be even amazing! But that's us just picking haha thank you Strawberry Hill Farm for our lovely stay ☺
