 Great site in a fabulous location but. At £81. 50 for 2 nights it's not good value, especially when you add on the extra for showers at 50p a pop.
Constantly running out of loo roll too, so go prepared!

Spent three nights here during the latter part of May. This was a really nice site, in a fabulous location by the river.
The views around are excellent. Really easy to find, access is from the edge of town (South Side), but as other reviews have said, the access road is narrow, so may be a problem if encountering another vehicle coming opposite direction.
Should be ok, as hopefully caravans / motorhomes etc that are leaving, will be away before new arrivals get there. We didn’t have any issues. There is a brand new reception / shop and toilet block, with dishwashing area. Spotlessly clean. Showers are 50p, but you get enough water for that.
No issue with the extra cost, as the facilities were excellent. We had a very large hard standing pitch. It was level, so no hassle getting settled. A number of pitches are on grass, but wouldn’t image any issues with them. Walking into town is no problem. Either walk along the access road, or via the river.
About a mile or so, will take 20 – 30 minutes. Also, from the site, using the river, you can access a number of walks which can take you to surrounding villages or up to Low Force and High Force. Walks are pretty well signed, but would be worth getting some local maps or guide books.
Although we had excellent weather, this is a good site and its location is fabulous. Robin takes care of the general day to day running of the site and was really nice, helpful and chatty. His mum and grandmother are also about the site.
They were also very pleasant. Middleton In Teesdale is a nice little town and having been there before, would go back again. Also, would definitely use this site again.

Just got back today from 4 days camping. Great site with excellent facilities and views. The only negative is the price, a bit expensive to be honest but still loved it. Staff very friendly indeed. We will definitely go again when a bit warmer lol

Stayed here over the Easter break. Gorgeous location in the valley just outside Middleton in Teesdale. Access is down a long narrow farm track with with no passing space which makes getting in and out pretty interesting, especially for larger caravans! But it's worth it, lots of walks from site, lovely views and right next to the river.
Caravan pitches are spacious and mostly hard standing. We stayed on the brand new ones which have TV points as well as elctric, but they were so new the TV wasn't working yet. Next time, maybe. Plenty of tent pitches around the edges of the site and next to the river, and the fire pit hire is a nice touch. There's also a shop/off license.
Toilets and showers are brand new and absolutely immaculate. We didn't mind paying 50p a shower as they were hot and never seemed to run out. A lovely site, we would stay again.

Just the best campsite of my trip - very welcoming, excellent toilet and showers, scenic location, close to town and shops. Whilst I didn't use one the the fire braziers looked a great addition to the camping experience. And would have been welcomed on a cold night. Planning a return trip with friends in 2017.

Visited Leekworth twice in 2016. Early June and again in August. The site is in an ideal setting for anyone visiting upper teesdale, Great for walks along the river tees following the Teesdale way and Pennine way. During our visits we also visited Barnard castle and explored further up the tees valley and visited cow green reservoir and cauldron snout waterfall. The site is very clean and tidy with well spaced pitches. Toilet block is cleaned daily in the early afternoon, during this time only the disabled toilets are available to use, not ideal for those who are arriving to book in at this time. Overall I would say facilities are quite basic and could be improved. I would suggest adding a play area for children, there is lots of space but an addition of a small play area would make the site more child friendly. I would also suggest adding laundry facilities, as there are no washing machines or dryers available.
As mentioned in other reviews, the track leading to the site is quite bumpy but I suppose this is to be expected. The town of middleton is close by with a nice selection of shops including a well stocked CO-OP and a very good fish and chip shop. The price of the site is a little high considering there are sites that offer more facilities that are cheaper. But if you wish to stay in upper Teesdale you have a limited choice of sites in the area and leekworth is probably the best of the bunch. Overall a nice site in a nice location but lacking some basic facilities.

Went here last year and decided to return with different friends this year. Love the new on line booking system so you can select your pitches, the owner is so friendly and comes to chat to make sure everything is ok. The ground is very well kept, flat and lovely short grass. Loads of open space for kids to run around and the gated river is brilliant for plodging and throwing stones. Toilets and showers were immaculate every time we visited. We did the walk from bowlees visitor centre passed low force to high force and back, even with toddlers and very hot weather it was a brilliant day. Fire pits were amazing but we lit ours earlier on the 2nd night due to midges! We had fish and chips from the chip in Middleton, they were amazing! On leaving we had a lovely light lunch in cafe fresh in the village too. Already planning our return for next year.

My family had a lovely 3 nights staying here. The site is well kept, grass is in wonderful condition, toilet's are clean etc. The area is beautiful for walking and the river a lovely place to sit. The fire pit and picnic bench hire make for a really comfortable camping experience!

Just got back from a weekend break. We arrived late on the Friday night which was no problem. After been given directions to our pitch we had a look around the facilities on the site are spot on the toilets and shower block was outstanding very clean and well looked after. Didn't mind paying the 50p for the shower. We had a nice stroll into Middleton in teesdale and seen royalty as well. The only thing we didn't do was hire a firepit but will be doing it next time we visit

We were a bit concerned to find only disabled single toilet and shower available to use so spoke to the lovely lady at reception-10 mins later owner arrived -Sunday evening- and opened up the rest of the block for our use-really great response. Adult only section perfect for our needs. Campsite ground in immaculate condition-mostly caravans -some seasonal pitches.

It is the first time we have visited this lovely site all we can say is what a gem.
The site is on a couple of large fields one field is adults only, the pitches are quite large with and without EHU some have a tap on them.
The toilet block is new with large shower cubicles and kept very clean. There is a 50p charge for showering.
Less than a minutes walk will bring you to the river where you can fish for free (rod licence is required) or follow the river for 15-20 mins and you come to Middleton in Teesdale a lovely dales town with a few shops and a couple of pubs. This part of the country lends itself to plenty of walking, cycling and touring or just chilling out enjoying the peace and quiet.
Say hello to the owner a lovely man who works extremely hard keeping the site in good order.
Nearly forgot you can also hire renovated cottages.
It won't be the last time we visit this site we will be back.

I was sick of the hold that caravan site owners have over static caravan owners so I decided to buy a tourer and leave it on site for a season.
I chose Leekworth as if had everything I could possibly want in a caravan site without being tied down, and the freedom to move site's with out having to pay the site owner for the privileged of doing so.
This site is absolutely brilliant. Excellent facilities, a stunning location with free fishing on the river Whitch runs alongside the site.
A site owner that respects the rights of caravan owners and bends over backwards to meet everyone's needs.
I have stored my van here and booked for the whole of next season and will probably stay here for a few years as it is the perfect location to escape the stress of everyday life.

This site is convenient for the town of Middleton in Teesdale and visiting the surrounding area. Facilities have recently been refurbished. Fires permitted - they'll supply you with a fire pit and logs for a fiver. Staff like to complain quite a lot, but it was a nice enough visit all the same.

What a brilliant site. Just got back from a three night stay at this site, wish we could have stopped longer. Site staff were very friendly, helpful and informative about the surrounding area, the pitchers are almost level, and the toilet blocks are kept very clean there is also a small shop on site for basics. The village is only ten minutes walk away and has two pubs and a chip shop and everything else you could need for a pleasant stay. All in all 10 out of 10

Site is located about 15-20 minutes walk from the centre of the pretty village of Middleton-in-Teesdale. The village has a Co-op, a good fish and chip shop, a barclays bank and cash machine, a hardware shop that seems to sell everything, as well as numerous small tea shops. Further afield, about 20-30 minutes drive is Barnard Castle, which has a Morrisons Supermarket and tonnes of other shops. All in all the location is great for exploring the northern Pennines. High Force waterfall is only a 15 minute drive away.
The campsite is accessed via a narrow lane that is in pretty poor repair, with few passing places. The lane extends for about 1km.
The site is quite large - in fact one large field located next to the river Tees with plenty of points where you can access the water. The tents are pitched around the outer edges of the field, leaving the large space in the middle for children to play.
It wasn't that busy when we went in the last week of August just before bank holiday. Price was £104 for four nights with electric.
Ground is good - no stones and drained well. Quite a windy site.
EHU point also had a tap which was handy.
Shower and toilet blocks extremely clean and also modern. Annoying to pay 50p for a shower that lasts no more than 6-8 minutes and requires you to press the restart button every 20 seconds. But not a major issue, given how clean the facilities are.
Owners/managers leave you to yourself which is great. Some people took up the offer of a fire pit and seemed to have fun with that. Not sure how much that cost.
Would re-visit if in the area again.
