 Just departed after a fantastic weekend. This was our first time camping and cannot fault this site.
Toilets and showers are basic but clean and the water pressure in the shower is FAB. We will defo be returning.
Only down side no other kids on site apart from our ten yr old so he was 'bored mam' but that's nowt to do with the owners or the site.
We are very happy first time campers/ Location is great and was easy to drive to Gateshead to pick up my son for the summer school holidays.
Even my 17yr old daughter was impressed - and that says something!

Despite the horrendous weather conditions, certainly unseasonal and the only summer camp I spent the best part of a week wearing wellington boots. This was one of our best 'summer camps'!
The Byreside Farm site is the perfect site for a family looking for peace and quiet, space and what a location where it is ideally placed for easy access to Newcastle, Beamish and beyond.
True, for tents particularly, the toilets/shower block are a bit of a trek (especially in monsoon conditions) but a small inconvenience when one considers the many advantages of this site.
Clean, well managed (credit to Janet) and we will definitely be back!

When we turned up at the site we found that we had boobed and the booking was for the previous week but the extremely helpful owner juggled round and found us a pitch for the week.
The site is small and well cared for with about half the pitches apparently let for the season with nobody in attendance while we were there.
There are four unisex 'suites' comprising toilet shower and washbasin which is just about adequate although they are built in a ex cowshed so are practical rather than luxurious and you have to cross the old railway line to get to them (speeding bikes being the main hazard).
The old railway makes for good walking or cycling and, with a bike you should be able to get into Newcastle (too far walking).
It's a working farm so you can expect animal noise (the cows were particularly vociferous whilst we were there).
With it's good location and the friendly owner we would recommend this site.

The site was easy to find but I had phoned to check & was advised to follow A695 to Hamsterley as sat navs take you through very narrow lanes. The site owner walked us to the pitch - all hardstanding.
The site is fairly flat, in a lovely location with a gate onto the Derwent Walk which we did in both directions. Good location for visiting the local area including Durham, Newcastle & Gateshead. Only 8 miles from the Metro Centre.
The showers & toilets were clean & well stocked but they were on the other side of the Derwent Walk so OK if you didn't need to use them at night.

Booked this site on previous reviews. It certainly lived up to my expectations. Very quiet, wonderful for dog walking. The owner was friendly but left us in peace once settled onto pitch. As previously stated the toilet block was across the old rail track and if I had a tent I think it would be troublesome. I did go to check them out and they were perfectly acceptable.
Do not be put off by the narrow lanes, the entry from the Hamsterlet Mill side is the easiest.
We also recommend a walk along the Railtrack to the village, good pub and friendly people.

I just live 3 miles from this site and have cycled past it many a time. We stayed for the full weekend and had a wonderful time. Shower and toilets are across the derwent walk and are basic but very well looked after. Super site for access to derwent valley, Durham, metro centre(if you must). Very well kept with lovely hosts. Good few seasonal pitches with proper nice people occupying them. I don't know why I took so long to use this site but I am glad I did. We are booking for the 2nd week in Oct and will be there over the new year also. Its a small but perfectly formed site for that get away from it all feeling. Don't tell your friends tho' as I would like to think we could keep it a secret.

This site was chosen because of the good reviews I had read and would confirm them to be correct.
A lovely site. Well run and owners very friendly.
The site is surrounded by some lovely countryside and walk/cycle routes but is close enough to car it into Newcastle / Metro Centre if you want the chance to catch up on some vital shopping.
Would revisit this site for sure.

This site though small was well maintained and very clean and quiet. The toilet facilities are across a small track but are warm and very well cared for . Although it is in the heart of the country we were only 15 mins from metro centre shopping centre and 20 mins from durham city. Truly a lovely place to visit highly recommend this site if you want a quiet laid back break.

A very nice site and very reasonably priced. Well kept by the lady owner who appeared to do all the maintenance single handed. The only problem, which did not affect us, is that the facilities are on the far side of the old railway track, so probably better for caravans with own loos and showers.

We stayed for a long weekend at this site and found it very peaceful.
It is slightly basic, and as has been said before the toilet block is across a track but not too far. The owners were lovely and friendly.
We would certainly stay again.
