Reviewer: Chriscable 38 reviews from this member

 Only stopped for one night as an after thought on our way home. What a pleasant surprise. Great facilities ( too hot but that not a complaint) easy reach into Barny where there are great shops (fab butchers) old style pubs and many places to eat. Great walks along Tees. Yes site can get a bit of road noise on front pitches but we were at back overlooking woods - no noise and relaxing. Deffo return

 Have just spent the weekend here and loved it! It is a lovely clean and tidy site! Great shower block, fantastic friendly wardens, fab play park for kids, great size pitches, handy little shop in reception for essentials like bread, milk, eggs etc.

Very windy this weekend but you can't switch the weather off can ya? lol

Site a bit near road so some noise from that, but all in all a really nice Caravan Club Site and it's only a baby at 4 years old too ;) bless lol

Will deffo go back again :)

 Nice Site, within easy walking distance to Barnard Castle. The pitches are a good size with hardstanding. Facilities excellent as always with the Caravan Club. The wardens were nice, helpful and friendly.

Good walks from the Site.

Fish and chip van was good too.

Found the Site very open and extremely windy.

 Used this site as a base for a night out in Barnard Castle.

It's in a good location, about a 15 minute walk from town where you'll find a good range of shop and places to eat and drink. The castle is worth a visit too. Great base for exploring Teesdale.

Facilities on site are excellent. Pitches are large with electricity and TV hook up and shower blocks are modern and spotless. Good value - it was about £18 for a motorhome.

Excellent site.

Reviewer: Barnacle Bill 1 review from this member

 This is a new Caravan Club site, only added to the network last year.

Whilst the facilities are well up to the usual Caravan Club corporate standards, the tree planting, etc. , clearly needs time to mature.

When we were there, in May, the leaves on the trees in the wood opposite the site across the small valley were beginning to grow, & this, disappointingly, was beginning to obscure the otherwise excellent views of the nearby Young Offenders Institute. A pity, really, because this is a fairly new structure in the modern Nissen Hut/ Cow Shed/ Industrial Building architectural style.

The noise from this facility only continued until late evening, which I thought was quite considerate.

Many pitches are located next to a busy road, & the traffic noise served to make up for this shortfall.

I'm afraid our 'best friend' was not impressed with the dog walk, which was short, gravelled, & steeply sloping. To compensate for this, however, a public footpath runs adjacent to the site, although on our visit, this had been obstructed by a landslip.

The Wardens were lovely!

Reviewer: Angeldust566 3 reviews from this member

 Very disappointing. One of the worst club sites we have visited. Nice new facilities block. Pitches and site very regimented. Site runs alongside a busy main road, very noisy. No footpath along the road, dangerous. Poorly designed dog walk, sloping and gravel ! how are you supposed to clean up properly. Noise and shouting could be heard from the nearby prison facility, especially at lock up times.

Poor pedestrian access to Barnard castle, you need a car to get the best here. Nothing to do without transport, so just a stopover at best for motorhomes.

This cost 3 million pounds, what were the club thinking ?

Reviewer: Gordyb 2 reviews from this member

 Just had 3 night stop here on our way back from scotland. Got here at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, got last remaining pitch. Pitch was next to road which we found extremely noisy. The walk into barnards castle is along quite a busy road on a very narrow grass verge. The site itself is very new and the facilities are very good. The wardens appear to be very friendly and helpful. On Sunday at noon there were approximately 10 or more outfits queuing to enter with a few of them out onto the main road so avoid arriving at noon. The road noise alone will preclude our using the site again as it is not guaranteed to get a pitch further into the site further from the road.

 This is a really nice site, I believe it was quite new when we were there so I think it could only improve as the trees and shrubbery mature. Caravan Club wardens were polite and pleasant. The walk into Barnard Castle was about 10 minutes walk away. What would have been helpful would have been a path from the site leading to the footbridge which takes you over the river into Barnard Castle as the road is a little busy and fast and can be a bit scary especially at night. Plenty pubs in 'Barney' to choose from, dog friendly. Especially liked the cricketers arms (or similar name) really friendly staff. Prices are quite steep for this site I thought

 Visited the second week of August after some really heavy rain around the area on the Friday. Luckily the drive up to area & site itself were fine.

Nice new feel to the site still, though the weeds & thistles could do with a trim we thought. Away from the road it was quiet enough but there is road noise some might find intrusive

Wardens were polite & friendly & the shower block was the warmest I've ever been in.

Apart from the walk into Barnard castle, not much to do direct from the site so have to travel. Not far though to High Force & the lovely River Tees, did a gorgeous 8 mile walk from Cow Green reservoir to Cauldron snout, visited Durham & its fabulous cathedral & a lovely drive over to Weardale.

Great pub food at the Fox & Hounds at Cotherstone just up the road. Nice week but once visited would not rush back too soon for us.

Reviewer: Jimbouk 19 reviews from this member

 First visit to this site and area.

Nice layout with access down the center of the site to the amenities block, which saved walking around the site roads. Facilities virtually brand new Very friendly and helpful wardens there was some slight road noise evident but nothing to worry about

Very easy access to the site from the A66.

10-15 stroll into Barnard Castle which has a Large market square / street full of shops, restaurants pubs and takeaways.
